Noel Gallagher is throwing a party to the tune of a quarter of a million dollars or more for to celebrate England's first soccer match in this year's World Cup series. The British press are reporting that he's hired a decorator to design a large Arabian-style marquee in the grounds of his $5 million estate in Buckinghamshire. The London Sun reports that the guest list includes Paul Weller, Ocean Colour Scene and Goldie.
Noel's been under fire of late for his plans to build a soccer field in his backyard. His neighbors have complained about the stadium-like bank of lights proposed to light the facility. The local authorities have denied him the permits.
