Liam Gallagher is set to star in his own film about The Beatles. The former Oasis frontman is also producing the film, which is based on Richard Di Lello's book, The Longest Cocktail Party. "Liam will have a part in it. He's all over it." explained director Michael Winterbottom. "It's about the mad chaos of Apple, so it's not dissimilar to 24 Hour Party People." Winterbottom also said he's not daunted by the prospect of working with the famously ill-tempered singer. "I've met him a few times. He seems like a nice guy."

Coldplay were hypnotised during the recording of their new album, Mylo Xyloto, bassist Guy Berryman has revealed. Producer Brian Eno suggested Chris Martin and co try hypnosis as a means of getting their creative juices flowing - but it didn't quite work out apparently. "We have been in a band long enough where we are comfortable to explore new ideas. Maybe one in every ten will come to something and the rest will be rubbish but you've got to give these things a try," explained Berryman. "Brian suggested we try playing together when we were hypnotised. One of his friends came down and we tried it out. Nothing came of it but at least we tried it."
