Overnight singing sensation Lady Gaga is heading in a rather interesting direction by working with the least likely person you could think of: Michael Bolton.

Bolton has revealed that Lady “Papa Papa Paparazzi” Gaga wrote songs for his next album, the delightfully named (not) “One World One Love.” Bolton though had no idea who she was when he was first approached.

“I was taking a break from production when my manager and the label tag-teamed me on the phone about writing with a young artist named Lady Gaga who I had never heard of – but they were raving about – they said that she was a huge fan of mine and wanted to write with me,” Bolton told a UK Magazine. .

“When I met her in the studio later that night, I realized she was not only about to have a big hit record but Gaga was a superstar about to launch – her energy was so high and her focus excited me…She reminded me of a young Madonna – with more exuberance and emphasis on the art rather than the marketing.”

Forgive me if I won’t be lining up to buy it.

The Los Angeles County coroner announced the ruling yesterday, saying the 50-year-old pop icon was poisoned by an overdose of anaesthetic Propofol.

The report said: “The cause of death was established as acute Propofol intoxication. The manner of death has been ruled: Homicide.”

As well as Propofol - which is usually used to put surgery patients to sleep in hospital - Michael had other drugs including benzodiazepine, diazepine and ephedrine in his system when he passed away on June 25.

Lorazepam and Valium also played a part in his death, while his body contained anaesthetic lidocaine, said to be used to mask the painful Propofol injections.

Michael’s family have released a statement saying: “The Jackson family again wishes to commend the actions of the Coroner, the Los Angeles Police Department - LAPD - and other law enforcement agencies, and looks forward to the day that justice can be served.”

The full report detailing the drugs in Michael’s system when he died after suffering a cardiac arrest in his Los Angeles home is sealed, after the Los Angeles Police Department and district attorney asked for it to stay secret.

In America, homicide can mean murder or negligent or accidental manslaughter, but it does not always mean there will be criminal charges.

However, it has been suggested in this case one or more of the doctors who were treating the ‘Beat It’ singer when he died could be prosecuted.

Michael’s personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray - who was with the ‘King of Pop’ when he passed away and administered CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation - has said he was concerned Michael was developing a dependence on Propofol, Diprivan, so was reducing the amount he gave him.

On the day Michael died, Murray gave him valium, lorazepam, midazolam and Propofol to help him sleep.

Although Murray is not an official subject, court papers show his office, home and lock-up were searched by police looking for “evidence of the offence of manslaughter”.

Other doctors who treated Michael are also being looked into.

Police have taken medical records from his dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein, plastic surgeon Larry Koplin, anaesthesiologists David Adams and Randy Rosen, and general practitioner Alan Metzger.

Police are said to be looking at the way Michael got prescription drugs, and are investigating claims he used several aliases, including Omar Arnold, Josephine Baker and Jack London.

Noel Gallagher announced he had left Oasis in a short statement on their website last night (28 August), in which he blamed his deteriorating relationship with brother Liam for his decision.

He said: “It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.

“Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan.”

The group cancelled last weekend’s performance at Britain’s V Festival in Chelmsford, claiming Liam had contracted laryngitis.

They were due to play Paris’ Rock en Seine festival yesterday.

It has been claimed the brothers had a fist fight shortly before they were to take to the stage, resulting in Noel, 42, calling time on the group.

A source said: “It all kicked off after a few jibes were thrown back and forward between them. It got totally out of hand very quickly and all the pent-up anger just exploded.

“Noel has been so mild-mannered and above it all, but everyone has a breaking point. The fight was split up quickly but Liam smashed up one of Noel’s guitars to make his point.

“That was it. The last act of anger that Noel could put up with. He just doesn’t need the hassle any more.”

Scottish singer Amy Macdonald was due to watch their Paris performance, and wrote on her Twitter page last night: “Oasis cancelled again with one minute to stage time!!! Liam smashed Noel’s guitar, huuuge fight (sic)”

Music executive Alan McGee, who initially signed the band, wrote on Facebook: “Just got phoned by somebody at Rock en Seine that Oasis have just split up an hour ago and manager or tour manager made the announcement to 50,000 fans (sic).”

Liam, 36, has apparently said the group will continue without Noel.

The brothers have a famously fiery relationship, the ‘Wonderwall’ songwriter has quit the band before, only to return at a later date.

In 2000, they got into a drunken fight in Barcelona after Liam questioned the legitimacy of his brother’s daughter Anais, provoking Noel into headbutting him.

The guitarist quit the tour, leaving the remaining members to carry on without him, however, he returned for the later UK dates.

During their phenomenal career Oasis scored eight UK number one singles and sold over 50 million albums worldwide.
