A panel of judges from within the magazine industry have selected 16 covers from the 1960s to the present decade for the shortlist.

Victoria Beckham graces two covers, while husband David Beckham, supermodel Kate Moss, Oasis star Liam Gallagher, actress Patsy Kensit and football boss Kevin Keegan also feature.

A breathing Darth Vader on the cover of film magazine Empire, a “Vote Dalek!” caption and image splashed on the Radio Times before the 2005 General Election, a naked and voluminous Beth Ditto posing for NME, and the first ever issue of The Face in 1980 also make the cut.

Princess Diana is seen in a Vogue tribute cover to her following her death and is pictured sitting on the floor smiling and wearing a flowing red dress.

The earliest magazine covers are Oz’s first issue in 1967 and Nova in 1968.

Posh and Becks make the cut for the OK! cover of their wedding in 1999, while Moss is pictured on the cover of Vogue wearing a crown.

Vanity Fair is listed with a 1997 cover of Blur, Oasis, and Britpop fashion designers and artists, while Heat, Loaded, Time Out, Private Eye, and Take a Break are also in the shortlist.

Nicola Rowe of the Periodical Publishers Association said: “We wanted to find covers that in some way summed up an era or broke the mould, and these 16 are outstanding.”

The winner will be announced on September 29 following a public vote.

He explained to NME: “They’re free to get in, but you’ve got to pay 75 quid to get out. That’d be great at Wembley, wouldn’t it? I didn’t spend a year in a recording studio to go ‘Yeah, you can f****** have it.’”

Noel, who tells the mag that Grease star Kenickie pulled a knife on him in LA, also said he didn’t want to keep going on about his rumoured criticisms of Jay Z before Glastonbury.

He said: “I never dissed him. There’s no point in going on about it, because you end up sounding like Heather Mills.”

Oasis-news.com/uploaded_images/Liam_jog-791178.jpg”>The snarling OASIS frontman was snapped going for an early morning lung-burner near his north London gaff. He’s trying to get match fit for the forthcoming world tour.

Word reaches the Sun that he has even managed to knock the fags on the head so his pipes are in top form for the marathon tour.

A wise move when you consider he might have to roar out the band’s classics twice a week for the next 18 months.

He’s no Haile Gebreselassie but if he carries on like this it won’t be soul he’ll be digging out, it’ll be his 32in Levi jeans from 1995.

Noel also tells a story about meeting and slagging off the bassist from Maroon 5 and how he ended up at his house, the Marylin Manson story and then spends 3 quarters of a page defending himself over Jay Z gate…

The NME watched their rehearsal where they did Supersonic, The Importance Of Being IdleI and The Shock Of The Lightning.

Noel says they were contemplating allowing free entry into their gigs for the whole tour, but then you’d have to pay £75 to get out of the gig.

An internet mailout was sent to fans who have signed up to the band’s official mailing list today (August 5) at the official Oasis website, giving details of the competition.

The mailout explains that fans who enter a draw can win an invitation to a rehearsal session the band will conduct on August 14 in London, during which they will play songs from their forthcoming new album, ‘Dig Out Your Soul’.

The session will be recorded and may be broadcast in the future.

OASIS will kick off a massive world tour in October, I can reveal.
The lads are due to announce their plans in the next few weeks — and the tour will be their boldest yet.

The band, who had a 1994 hit with Live Forever, will start their dates in the UK this autumn, head off for more gigs, then return more than 12 months later to wrap things up at home.

Wembley and their beloved Manchester City’s home ground will be among the UK venues.

And some lucky fans will be able to see them play at the intimate Roundhouse in London for a filmed BBC special.

The start of the tour will coincide with the release of seventh studio album Dig Out Your Soul, on October 6.

A source revealed: “The tour is bigger than anything the band have done before.

“They will be on the road for more than a year — possibly pushing 18 months.

“The dates could easily run into three figures and will take them around the world.

“It is on the kind of scale you would expect from THE ROLLING STONES. The fellas who have hatched the plan are very proud and excited.”

“No, which is mad,” admits Tom. “Now we’re back in Leicester, we don’t see nearly so much of them. I haven’t seen Liam in probably six, seven months.

“I speak to Noel more, I saw him for a drink when I was up in London a couple of weeks ago. It was a civilised night, no major carnage to report.”

At least Tom has heard the new Oasis album, which he’s very keen on.

“It’s going to take a lot of people by surprise,” he enthuses. “It’s their best record in years, incredible rock & roll and raw as f***. It’s mega.

“It’s one for us to live up to, but I know we’re Publish Postup to the task. It’s hard, as I know how incredible our next album is - and I wish it was out there, so people could agree!”

The Oasis leader was over in America working on ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ with producer Dave Sardy when he and brother Liam Gallagher ended up on a very unlikely wild night out.

In an this extract from NME’s exclusive with the guitarist, Noel Gallagher reveals how the self-styled God Of Fuck invited him to a show, after which the Jeff Conaway, the actor who played Kenickie pulled a knife on him.

Check out this extract below, but for the full interview featuring Gallagher on Jay-Z, Maroon 5 and the new Oasis album get this week’s issue of NME on UK newsstands from Wednesday (August 6)…

Noel: “Don’t ask how, but we know his [Marilyn Manson] bass player, Twiggy.”

NME: Twiggy Ramirez. The guy who wears the leather skirt, right?

Noel: “…and he wears a witch’s hat as well. Don’t ask. So anyway, they’re doing a gig, and he says, ‘Manson wants you to come up and see him.’ He’s a massive Oasis fan: ‘Be Here Now’ is his favourite album because it was recorded on a fucking mountain of charlie. The plan was to get there ten minutes before he comes offstage. Now, along the way the message got garbled and we got there ten minutes before he came onstage…”

NME: So you had to sit through a Marilyn Manson show?

Noel: “We get marched to a spot behind the mixing desk, and there’s all these American goths, and the gig’s going on, it’s all screaming and shouting, rape and pillage and all that fucking shit. Before one song he goes, ‘(adopts booming dark lord voice) I WANNA DEDICATE THIS SONG TO THE TWO BIGGEST FUCK-UPS IN ENGLAND!’ Me and our kid are looking at him, and looking at each other going, ‘He means you, ‘cos Lord knows he don’t mean me.’ Then he’s going, ‘OASIS ARE IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT!’, and he starts doing ‘Cocaine Supernova’ and screaming, ‘THESE TWO GUYS FROM ENGLAND, THEY’RE BIGGER FUCK-UPS THAN I AM!’ Anyway, so we go back after the gig and we just got fucking absolutely… beyond pissed on absinthe. That’s when Kenickie from ‘Grease’ fucking pulled a knife on us.

“He comes into the dressing room, and Liam’s been watching ‘Celebrity Rehab’ so he’s going, ‘Ah, there’s fucking Kenickie!’ So we get him over and we’re all pissed, so we’re like, ‘Why are you on a fucking walking stick, you lightweight!?’ He’s going, ‘My back’s fucked. Fucking John Travolta in ‘Grease’ – he’s so fucking short, they made me stoop over and that’s when I invented the famous Kenickie walk!’

“We were going, ‘What?! The famous Kenickie walk?’ He started doing this walk so we’re giving him a bit of stick. And he says, ‘Hey, I’m fucking still young enough to pull a knife on you!’ and he whips out this flick-knife. We just laughed, like, ‘You silly old man!’ That was a great night – we all got more drunk on absinthe and argued in the van all the way home about some Kinks fucking B-side.”

For the full interview get this week’s NME, on newsstands nationwide from Wednesday (August 6).

He said: “The broadsheets get hold of it and have me going down Hyde Park Corner blasting and slamming.

“For the record, I Iike Jay-Z. That’s my opinion.

“I should do these things and answer like every two-bit pop star.”

In April, Noel Gallagher said having the rapper at the festival was the reason tickets had not sold out and that it was “wrong” to have a hip-hop headliner.

Jay-Z played the guitarist’s comments to the crowd at Glastonbury in a video montage before his set and played an acoustic version of Oasis hit Wonderwall.

Music chain HMV say the performance has helped boost sales of Oasis’s album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory, as well as the single Wonderwall.

‘In my day, status was trying to be somebody… not trying to kill somebody’

Noel Gallagher has joined the debate concerning knife crime amongst young people.

Speaking at the Silver Chef Music Therapy awards, the Oasis songwriter admitted that the topic is inescapable.

“I was up in Liverpool for a week a couple of weeks ago and even on the news there it’s every single night,” said Gallagher told BBC Newsbeat.

He added: “In my day, status was trying to be somebody, do you know what I mean, not trying to kill somebody.”

Asked for his opinion on the reasons behind the rise in knife crime, Gallagher considered the role of video games and drugs in youth culture.

“People say it’s through violent video games and I guess that’s got something to do with it”, he suggested. “If kids are sitting up all night smoking super skunk and they become so desensitised to crime because they’re playing these video games, it’s really, really scary.”

Gallagher added that finding a solution would be tough, saying: “I don’t even know what [David] Cameron (opposition leader) or Gordon Brown (Prime Minister) are going to do about it.”

‘Wonderwall’ rockers Noel and Liam Gallagher attended the exclusive event at London’s Park Lane Hilton hotel where they were given the accolade for their contribution to the music industry by boxing legend Ricky Hatton, who admitted to being a huge fan of the band.

Ricky said: “There are a few things in my life - my family, Manchester City Football Club and Oasis. If someone had said to me a few years ago you would be presenting Oasis with an award I’d have said they were daft. When you are a fan of someone it doesn’t getting any better than presenting them with an award!”

When asked if he would be celebrating with Noel and Liam afterwards, Ricky said: “Noel said he is going to meet me for a pint, so that should be interesting!”

Noel - who controversially said rapper Jay-Z was the “wrong” choice to headline this year’s Glastonbury music festival - also explained his comment.

He told BANG Showbiz: “All I did was give my opinion about ticket sales at Glastonbury and that’s the end of it. For the record I like Jay-Z - it’s just my opinion. If people don’t like it, don’t ask me any more questions. I should just be like every other s**t-bag pop star and just say, ‘Everything is amazing’.”

The event - which was held in aid of Nordoff-Robin Music Therapy, the chosen charity of the music industry which undertakes over 30,000 sessions annually with both children and adults - was hosted by TV presenter Myleene Klass and attended by celebrities including ‘Dragon’s Den’ star Duncan Bannatyne, singer Lisa Stansfield and ‘Top Gear’ host Jeremy Clarkson.

Other winners at the ceremony included Amy Macdonald, who was given The Newcomer Award by comedian Russell Brand following the huge success of her debut album ‘This Is The Life’.

Glaswegian band The Fratellis won the Best British Band accolade, which was presented to them by ‘Hot Fuzz’ actor Simon Pegg.

Before the ceremony started, guests were treated to a Silver Clef luncheon, sponsored by O2.

They also took part in a Silver Clef auction, where prizes included a dinner at London’s Dorchester Hotel hosted by Eddie Jordan, Mike Rutherford and Nick Mason, as well as three limited edition pieces of Paul Weller’s Stanley Road album artwork by Sir Peter Blake, signed by Weller and Blake.

Just ask Noel Gallagher. His partner Sara MacDonald shattered him when she pointed out the title he wanted to give to the new Oasis album was a Geri Halliwell hit.

He said: “The missus goes, ‘Bag It Up? Isn’t that a song by Geri Halliwell?’ I was like, ‘You’ve ruined my entire f****** year’.”

Dig Out Your Soul is released on October 6 but Noel has revealed he was not entirely aware of all of the songs on it.

He told Mojo magazine: “I was doing the Electric Proms with The Coral, who had recorded at my studio. They’d had a sneaky listen to our new stuff so singer James Skelly asks me, ‘Are you gonna do Soldier On?’

“I don’t remember it. Turns out Andy Bell recorded it with Liam – but Liam still doesn’t remember it!”

And Noel and Liam are still arguing – this time over the band’s new drummer Chris Sharrock, who used to work with Robbie Williams.

Noel said: “It was too much of a temptation to p*** Robbie and Liam off in one phone call.”

“Well, I’m pretty much now in a great place, I’m in the zone,” Sir Hova of Brooklyn told MTV Base this week. “Glastonbury was a historic event for me, I played Milton Keynes the day after that and it’s just … You know, I’m feeling the love. Any time you can come from where I come from - Brooklyn, New York, everybody knows the story - [and] come so far. It’s not that it’s that far, but to come overseas and have people embrace you the way I’ve been embraced thus far, it’s just an amazing feeling.”

One person who obviously didn’t share the fans’ feelings was Oasis’ Noel Gallagher, who was a much-publicized critic of having a rapper headline the traditionally rock-centric Glastonbury fest. Maybe Gallagher’s stance has softened in the wake of Jay’s acclaimed performance - Jay told us he’s heard the guitarist wants to have a conversation.

“I haven’t spoken to him,” Jay said. “I heard he was reaching out, but I haven’t spoken to him.”

Jay even said he’s open to working with Oasis in the future should something suitable come up. “Anyone,” he answered, when asked about who he’d be willing to work with. “Oasis as well - it doesn’t matter to me, I don’t bear any grudge, it’s all good. I just believe in good music and bad music, I’ve always said that. You look at any interview from the beginning of time, I’ve always stated that I don’t believe in the lines and classifications that people put music in so they can easily define it.”

The intro reel played before Jay-Z’s Glastonbury headline show on Saturday (June 28), which featured Oasis’ Noel Gallagher’s derogatory comments about the rapper, has been posted online.

The video features Gallagher’s quote that Jay-Z had “no fucking chance” of pulling off a Glastonbury headline slot, spliced together with archive footage of figures including Bill Clinton, London mayor Boris Johnson and Queen Elizabeth II.

It also features members of the public commenting on Jay-Z, as well as Pharrell Williams, who bigs up the rapper.

The clip did not appear on the BBC’s coverage of Glastonbury because all the footage it uses could not be cleared for broadcast, so until now only those present at the show have seen it.

Jay-Z followed the video montage by kicking off his show with a cover of Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’.

Noel confirmed that Zak has left the band at that former La’s and Robbie Williams drummer Chris Shanrock is taking over. He was offered the job after Alan left, but Noel did not follow up until Starkey left the band.

There are five different versions of the album, “There’s the cheap digital one, there’s the other digital one that’s slightly more expensive, there’s a physical one in the shops, the there’s a deluxe’ one that’s slightly more expensive, then there’s a super deluxe one that has everything on it”.

New songs: “Bag It Up” (Noel first song on the album), “Soldier On” (Liam’s song, last song on the album), “I’m Outta Time” (Liam’s, presumably the previously mentioned Guess I’m Outta Time.
