Friend of the stars Noel Gallagher has called George Michael "a liar and a fake". Talking about Michael’s controversial single ‘Shoot the Dog’, which is promoted with a cartoon video showing Tony Blair as George W Bush’s lap dog, Gallagher said Michael's attempt at social commentary was "laughable". "Now he’s trying to make social comment … this is the guy who hid who he actually was [ie his sexuality] from the public for 20 years, now, all of a sudden, he's got something to say about the way of the world. I find it laughable. And that's even before you get to the song, which is diabolical." The single, which won’t receive a US release, goes on sale in the UK on 5 Aug.
