Liam Gallagher cusses Gordon Ramsay's cooking - Tabloid Hell

Liam Gallagher wasn't impressed with Gordon Ramsay's cooking on his show 'The F Word'.

The singer's wife, former All Saints girl Nicole Appleton, took on Ramsay in a cook-off - but Gallagher loyally stuck up for his spouse, saying the TV chef's food was awful.

He said: "Me missus is a better effing cook than you!"

Gallagher then later told Ramsay: "Your cooking is bobbins."

According to the [url= http://www.dailystar.co.uk/posts/view/39637/Liam-has-f-words-for-Gordon/]Daily Star[/url] the word "bobbins" is slang for lousy.

Appleton took on Ramsay with a starter of pasta and clams, a main course of spiced pork chops and sweet potatoes and a desert of apple tart.

After tucking into his wife's meal Gallagher told Ramsay: "Me missus does a better sweet potato than you do."

The former hell-raising Oasis man also admitted he can't drink like used to, as his hangovers are much worse now he's older.

Gallagher said: "It takes me longer to recover from nights out."

Mary Chapin Carpenter was voice of a little movement of folk-influenced country singer/songwriters of the former '80s. Although many of these performers ne'er achieved commercial success, Carpenter was able to transmission channel her anti-Nashville approach into chart success and industriousness awards by the early '90s.


Carpenter was natural and raised in Princeton, NJ, the girl of a Life powder store executive; she washed-out two days of her puerility in Japan, where her padre was launching the Asian edition of Life. During the kinsfolk explosion of the early '60s, her mother had begun to dally guitar. When Mary became interested in music as a child, her mother gave her a guitar. Carpenter played music during her senior high school eld, only she didn't actively engage it as a vocation. In 1974, her category affected to Washington, D.C., where she became convoluted in the city's folk medicine prospect. After graduating from high shoal in the mid-'70s, she washed-out a yr travel Europe; when she was finished, she enrolled at Brown University, where she was an American civilization major.


Following her college graduation, she became deep involved in the Washington-area kinsfolk scene, performing a potpourri of originals, contemporaneous singer/songwriter real, and pop covers. Carpenter met guitar player John Jennings during the early '80s and the pair off began performing together. Eventually, they made a demo magnetic tape of their songs, which they sold at their concerts. The tape wound up at Columbia Records, which offered Carpenter an sense of hearing. By early 1987, the label had signed her as a recording creative person. Her number one album, Hometown Girl, was released that year.


Hometown Girl and its followup, Country of the Heart (1989), earned her a consecrated cult following, as well as two Top Ten singles, "Never Had It So Good" and "Quittin' Time." Country radio was hesitant to play her soft, folky, women's rightist corporeal, merely she received good reviews and airplay on more progressive state stations, as well as college radio. Shot Straight in the Dark, released in 1990, managed to break down a lot of the barriers that stood in her manner. "Down at the Twist and Shout" became a identification number deuce single and the album sold well, scene the point for her breakthrough album, 1992's Come on Come On.


Come in on Come On signaled a slight variety in charge for Carpenter -- although there were silent folks songs, she felt freer to loose up on whitey tonk and country-rock songs, which resulted in several hit singles. Two of the singles from the album -- "I Feel Lucky" and "Passionate Kisses" -- hit number quaternity, and "He Thinks He'll Keep Her" became her number one number one. Come on Come On would eventually deal o'er iI billion copies. Her fifth album, Stones in the Road, released in 1994, concentrated on the folkier material, but it was static a major success, marketing over a one thousand thousand copies inside its first sextet months of discharge. Position in the World was released in October 1996, and Time* Sex* Love* followed in springtime 2001. Carpenter's ten percent album, 2004's Betwixt Here and Gone was produced with piano player Matt Rollings. The Calling was issued in 2007 by Zoe Records.
