Former boxer Ricky Hatton reckons that the Gallagher brothers need to put their differences behind them and get the Oasis reunion on track - if only for their mum Peggy. The Stockport-born slugger says that the boys could ‘make history’ if they got back together, and it would be bigger than the Stone Roses’ famous comeback in 2012.

As the years march on, the importance of ABC’s “Lost” continues to shine through. This is a show that wasn’t the first of its kind—a serialized drama that captured the hearts and minds of viewers—but it was one of the most influential series of the past 30 years, full stop.

Damon Lindelof is owning up to his past failures as the showrunner and co-creator the mega popular ABC series, Lost.

Damon Lindelof is admitting his failings. In the upcoming book, author Maureen Ryan speaks to many people who worked on  and described the show as having «dark and complicated» behind-the-scenes drama, which was, at times, «grueling and scarring» and «nakedly hostile.»In response to the accusations leveled against the series, Lindelof, who co-created the show, admitted that he «failed» during its run from 2004 to 2010.«My level of fundamental inexperience as a manager and a boss, my role as someone who was supposed to model a climate of creative danger and risk-taking but provide safety and comfort inside of the creative process — I failed in that endeavor,» Lindelof told Ryan in 2021, according to an excerpt of the book, which was published by .In a follow-up conversation the next year, Lindelof told Ryan, «The way that I conduct myself and the way that I treat other humans who I am responsible for and a manager of is a by-product of all the mistakes that were made.… I have significantly evolved and grown, and it shouldn't have had to come at the cost and the trauma of people that I hurt on .»Lindelof later claimed that he was «largely oblivious to the adverse impacts that I was having on others in that writers' room during the entire time that the show was happening.»«It's not for me to say what kind of person I am,» he said later.

A new book by Maureen Ryan that seeks to expose “patterns of harassment and bias in Hollywood” takes aim at the writers room of Lost, where executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are accused of maintaining a culture of toxicity on the hit ABC drama.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “Lost” showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse confront several accusations of racism, toxicity and more that allegedly occurred during the making of the ABC hit series in Maureen Ryan’s new book, “Burn It Down,” an excerpt of which has been published on Vanity Fair’s website. In the excerpt, Lindelof admits that he “failed” in regards to providing “safety and comfort” in the show’s writers’ room. Several writers and actors spoke to Ryan about the toxic work environment on “Lost,” which ran for six seasons on ABC from 2004 to 2010. Harold Perrineau, who starred as Michael Dawson in the first two seasons of “Lost,” spoke bluntly about his white co-stars getting the show’s major storylines. As he put it, “It became pretty clear that I was the Black guy. Daniel [Dae Kim] was the Asian guy. And then you had Jack and Kate and Sawyer.”

Matt Damon is weighing in on fans pitting his movie Oppenheimer against Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling‘s Barbie.

Noel Gallagher has responded to Matty Healy’s comments calling for an Oasis reunion, and described him as a “slack-jawed fuckwit”.The singer-songwriter was speaking in a new interview with Spin, promoting his upcoming High Flying Birds album ‘Council Skies’, when the topic of an Oasis reunion arose.It was here that he was asked what he thought about comments made by The 1975 frontman Healy, who argued that both Liam and Noel Gallagher needed to “grow up” and reform. He also claimed that they should bring the group back together because “there’s not one kid, not one person, going to a High Flying Birds gig or a Liam Gallagher gig that would not rather be at an Oasis gig.”While the comments ended up gathering a huge response online — and even provoked backlash from Liam Gallagher, who responded by saying “it’s our time to waste, who made him the boss of time?” — apparently Noel missed the commotion altogether and wasn’t aware of the singer’s comments until now.“Oh, that fucking slack-jawed fuckwit.

[Liam] won’t call… I mean, he should call me, because he’s like, he’s forever going on about it.

Matt Damon is working with Zoe Saldana for Stella Artois' new Let's Do Dinner campaign, but he had the chance to team up with her a long time ago. The 52-year-old actor was offered the lead role in James Cameron's 2009 film , where he would have starred alongside Saldana and would have earned around $250 million. The role instead went to Sam Worthington, who played Jake Sully, while Saldana portrayed Neytiri.

Blur frontman Damon Albarn has said that Brexit has been a “travesty” in a new interview.Speaking to Channel 4, Albarn explained that Brexit has been a “disaster” for younger musicians.“In the old days, pre-Brexit, you could be a young band and go over to Europe and play bottom of the bill at festivals. You wouldn’t be paid hardly anything but the experience was life-changing, whether you went on to do bigger and better things in the future [or not]. That’s a solid foundation for the rest of your life,” Albarn said.“That kind of creativity has very much been curtailed for people on this island, because it’s expensive to go over there now.
