Liam Gallagher clashed with paparazzi after leaving Oasis' BRITs after-show party - scrawling marker pen over the lens of one photographer's camera.

The wild rocker left the exclusive bash at London's Cuckoo Club at 4am on Thursday (15.02.07) with girlfriend Nicole Appleton and singer Lily Allen to be confronted by photographers.

After refusing to sign autographs for waiting fans, Liam turned his attention to the paparazzi.

Lily, who failed to win any of the three awards she had been nominated for, jokingly threatened photographers with a Christian Louboutin stiletto shoe.

An onlooker said: "The police had to be called because cars were getting scratched, people were getting squashed. Liam was just being his usual cocky self, which riled some fans who'd been waiting for autographs. Lily seemed to have the Liam snarl down to a tee."

As well as Liam's Oasis bandmates other guests at the party reportedly included Sir Paul McCartney, The Killers, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, Kasabian, The Kooks and the Arctic Monkeys - who snubbed the ceremony by choosing to record acceptance videos for their MasterCard British Album and British Band successes.

It was revealed that Liam and his brother Noel had ordered so much alcohol for their bash extra bags of ice were ordered to keep all the refreshments cold.

Noel was standing by the door personally vetting each person coming into the club - and many celebrities were turned away.

He joked: "We're throwing our own party so we can snub people and not let them in."

Among those refused entry reportedly included Naomi Campbell, James Morrison - who won British Male Solo Artist - Sadie Frost, Suggs from Madness, Jamie Callum and Alex Zane.
