Noel Gallagher enjoys boozy night out with lingerie model four months after splitting from his wife
NOEL Gallagher’s divorce has made him one of rock and roll’s most eligible bachelors – and he clearly isn’t short of interest.
The Oasis great enjoyed a night on the town with close pal James Cook on Thursday, beginning at posh London members’ club Maison Estelle and then heading to his favourite showbiz haunt, Chiltern Firehouse.
He was joined for the double date by stunning actress and lingerie pin-up Charlotte Carter-Allen, a model who has also appeared in music videos with Kanye West and on a record with Eurythmics star Dave Stewart.
The foursome were pictured arriving at the nightspot in a Range Rover before leaving together later, sparking speculation among onlookers that Noel and Charlotte may be growing close.
A source said: “Noel and James are close mates — and both recently single — and were with two very attractive women when they arrived at Chiltern Firehouse.
“It looked very much like a double date and everyone was clearly having a great time.
“There’s no getting away from it, Charlotte is absolutely stunning, so if they are close, it’s not hard to see the instant attraction.”
I revealed in January that Noel and wife Sara had sadly separated, in a split that shocked the rock world.
They were together for more than two decades and married for 11.
They are finalising the separation and have vowed to focus on continuing to raise their two sons amicably.
Noel has been working on his soon-to-be-released High Flying Birds studio album, Council Skies, which is expected to be a return to his songwriting roots.
Looking at his new companion, he won’t be short of inspiration.
Drew writes off MTV gig
THE MTV Movie & TV Awards have been thrown into chaos after host Drew Barrymore pulled out just days before tomorrow’s event.
She decided to step away in solidarity with scriptwriters, who are striking in the US.
The actress said: “Everything we celebrate and honour about movies and television is born out of their creation.
“Until a solution is reached, I am choosing to wait.”
The event will go ahead without a host, but the red carpet ahead of the ceremony has been scrapped.
Drew has promised to return as presenter next year to “celebrate everything that MTV has created”.
MILLIE Bobby Brown is sparkling after receiving a seal of approval from her future father-in-law.
The Stranger Things actress, 19, rocked this jewel-encrusted outfit at Osaka Comic Con in Japan yesterday after getting engaged to Jake Bongiovi, 20.
Now his dad, Jon Bon Jovi, has revealed his excitement about the couple’s news.
The Bon Jovi frontman said: “Millie is wonderful. Her whole family are great. Jake is very, very happy.”
Jon went on to defend the pair’s engagement, after some suggested they are too young to get hitched.
SUGABABES’ Siobhan Donaghy has made pregnancy sound like a right laugh, revealing she couldn’t stop giggling.
When the mum of two talked about expecting her first child, she recalled: “My overwhelming symptom of pregnancy with Ford was I laughed a lot. It was my only symptom.
“Sometimes I’d be out with friends and they’d laugh, I’d laugh, but my laugh would keep going, which everyone found really funny for a while.
“But after a few minutes I’d have to excuse myself and go and continue laughing in the ladies room.
“I literally had to think of dead rabbits because I looked like a nutcase.
“I was about eight months pregnant and was driving. I had to pull the car over because I thought I was going to crash.
“I could not stop laughing.”
ED SORTED BY TAYLOR ‘THERAPY’
ED Sheeran has compared his friendship with Taylor Swift to therapy – as he says few people in the world understand his life.
The Eyes Closed singer finds it tough to meet people who he can open up to about the pressures of being a superstar.
But it is easy to do so with Taylor, because the pair can relate to one another.
Ed said: “I have long, long, long conversations with Taylor about stuff, just because I feel like she’s one of the only people that actually truly understands where I’m at.
“Because she’s a solo artist, she’s doing stadiums. And to have a career, you have to keep doing something that’s a little bit different.”
During a chat with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 to promote new album Subtract, which came out yesterday, Ed added: “We can be open with each other about stuff as well.
“I had an hour and 20 conversation with her yesterday and we were just . . . everything that was on our minds, we talked about.
“That in itself is kind of therapy as well, because you’re actually talking to someone that genuinely gets it, that has all the things you feel and have insecurities about, and how other people treat you or how your family treat you, how your friends treat you.
“She is just basically in the same sphere.
“I have a similar sort of friendship with Stormzy, where I know what he’s going through and we can talk about it.”

POST Malone’s return to the UK went off with a bang.
The rapper put on a show to remember, complete with fireworks, and spun through Reputation, Wrapped Around Your Finger and Better Now before whipping fans into a frenzy with Chemicals.
During the first of three London gigs on his Twelve Carat Tour, he said: “I hope everyone’s having a great night, I’m having a f***ing blast.”
Post’s gig had three huge runways and he ran out to meet as many fans as he could.
Raising his cup, he said: “There is nothing you can’t do, so keep being yourself and live your truth because each and every single one of you kicks so much ass.”
