Gallagher orders SpongeBob painting

Liam Gallagher has ordered a painting of cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants for his living room.

The Oasis frontman asked for the portrait of the children's TV star to be in the style of Andy Warhol.

He will apparently place the picture next to paintings of Elvis and Jimi Hendrix.

Explaining his fascination with the Nickelodeon character, Liam told Q magazine: "SpongeBob is a f****** mental, full-of-beans, enthusiastic sponge that lives at the bottom of the sea in Bikini Bottom. He’s mad for it.

"He's got a mate called Squidward, who plays the clarinet and is grumpy like our kid Noel."
