The Story, Mate, Is That Yer Kids’ve Disowned Ya

Compiled By Staff Writer Dan Web

Hell hath no fury like a rock star scorned.

Especially by daddy.

Take the Oasis boys, for example. Liam and Noel Gallagher, whose second album “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?” launched them into superstar status, don’t have fond memories of their dear pater.

“If he died tomorrow, I wouldn’t go to his funeral,” 24-year-old Liam told The Daily Telegraph. “I stopped believing in God because of what happened to me mam.”

What happened, he says, was regular beatings. One time he even saw his father hit his mother in the head with a hammer. So he adds a note to dad: no need to apologize, because all is not forgiven.

“He kicked our Bod’s (eldest brother Paul’s) head in too,” Liam said. “He hasn’t tried to make up with him because he’s not famous.”

Loose talk

Ivanka Trump, 15-year-old daughter of Donald and Ivana Trump, on the joy of living (in the New York Times): “I live for the moment. I do not fear the future because I think every experience makes you stronger. I am the kind of person who has no regrets.”

With ‘Mod Squad’ canceled, he became the missing Linc

Clarence Williams III turns 58 today.

Even so, all she hoped for was world peace

Nancy Glass, set to question the five Miss America finalists, said one of the requirement of her hiring was that she have no connection with any beauty contests. When asked if, indeed, she’d ever been in one, Glass answered, “Thanks for the compliment, but are you kidding? Maybe on Backwards Day. I was Captain Klutz when I was a kid.”

They never had plans to kiss, even if she did makeup

Tom Berenger says he decided to end his 11-year marriage to Lisa Berenger because of her involvement with the Church of Scientology. She claims he was more interested in makeup artist Patricia Alvaran, 23. No way, says the actor, who admits planning to marry Alvaran.

And later, dad and the tyke can even double-date

Comes word from England that 11-year-old Sean Stewart is set to become the country’s youngest father. His next-door neighbor, 15-year-old Emma Webster, says she thought Sean was 15, too. “I think he will be a good father,” Emma said. “He may only be 11, but he is quite mature and responsible for his age.” Delivery date is February.

Liam hates his dad, but Paul sure loves his mom

Paul Allen, 44-year-old Microsoft co-founder, has purchased a 120-acre site in Beverly Hills. The unmarried Allen, who owns the Seattle Seahawks and the Portland Trail Blazers, paid $20 million. Allen’s estate on Mercer Island includes a house for his mother.

Did he say bodies or booties?

Rapper Ice-T was miffed about being ticketed by Venice, Calif., police for not wearing his seat belt. “Yeah, they got time to stop me, the big gangsta,” he told Rolling Stone magazine. “You know, I got bodies in my trunk and all that.”
