Liam Gallagher has blasted Wayne Rooney for his £5 million wedding, describing the footballer's extravagance as "ridiculous".

The Man United player tied the knot with his childhood sweetheart Coleen McLoughlin at a 17th century palace on the Italian Riviera in June.

Gallagher, who married Nicole Appleton in a basic ceremony earlier this year, admitted that he cannot understand the couple's decision.

In an interview with The Times, he ranted: "You've got this kid who's f****** 19 or whatever the f*** he is, who 20 minutes ago was playing for Everton, having a five million pound wedding! How do you f****** grasp that?

"All right, he earned his f****** money, do what you want, but I couldn't live with meself. That to me is just f****** ridiculous. There's ways of doing it. In fact, what did mine cost? I got married at Marylebone station, er, Marylebone registry office. In and out, no f****** about, it cost £18. Reception over the road, it was nice, we drank champagne, but I've still got a lid on it."

Gallagher also insisted that he would never have considered selling his wedding pictures to a magazine like Wayne and Coleen did.

"It smells funny, it doesn't sit right. I'd have to be well and truly f****** desperate," he explained. "I'd have to be homeless. It's like, haven't you got e-f******-nough, you little ****? I find that hard to f****** take. But that's famous people for yer. When they're not on the f****** telly they want to be in a f****** magazine and when they're not in a magazine they want to be on a f****** bottle of water. It's like, f****** chill the f*** out, you can't do one f****** job right let alone f****** trying to do f****** five, you *****!"

Prick

he's not a prick, he's bang on tbh

shit, he's only been there a week! Are they that close already???

To be fair to Rooney (though I doubt he deserves it) I think it's his wife who controls this side of things.

Rooney can do what he likes with his money.

Gallagher can feck off really. The irony of him moaning about celebrities trying to stay in the public eye, and then coming out with something like that trying to further his own image (swearing is good and all, but does anyone really need to swear every other word?) and get lots of news coverage.

I'm aware they've got a new album out, hence why he's trying to gain publicity for it by slagging off one of the nations most famous people.

Like i said, it's ironic that he's calling people for trying to engineer pubicity, while trying to get some of his own.

Liam (and his band) have an album out soon, he was being interviewed, he was asked questions, he answered them. If you feel like it, look out the rest of the interview (I'll warn you though, it's pretty long) and you'll see there's more to it than that.

The guy is a family man and in his own words "If I'm out, get pissed up and some paparazzi takes photo's of me then fine. If I'm taking my little girl to school and they jump and out and start snapping, I'll f**king lose it".
