In Their Own Little Minds, Life Truly Is One Big Oasis

The Oasis boys, on the concert trail in Australia, continue to make friends and influence people.

Liam Gallagher, the prettier of the two brothers who front the bad-boy British band, was released on bail Friday after being charged with head-butting a fan.

The man, a 19-year-old British tourist whose nose was broken, apparently committed the sin of photographing the rock star. Gallagher was charged with “assault occasioning bodily harm,” and he was released on $6,900 bail.

A Brisbane lawyer representing Gallagher says his client “vigorously” denies the charges and plans to plead innocent.

The band and its 30-strong entourage were the cause of a near riot on their flight into the country.

Remember the scene in “Titanic” where Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslett run, like naughty little children, from the ship’s pursers? Well imagine that same scene in real life, only shifting the scene to a Havana hotel, putting DeCaprio poolside and replacing Winslet with supermodel Naomi Campbell. Also, imagine them both naked.
