It would seem that Happy Mondays' legendary frontman Shaun Ryder is set to star in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, following the leaking of several scripts purporting to be taken from the looming Rockstar sequel.

According to the piece, GTA: SA will include a 22-year-old white male from Manchester called Maccer, and who else would be better suited to the role? Certainly not Tony Wilson, Vini Reilly or Mozzer.

Given the nature of the leak, this is all entirely speculation at this point, though some of the more interesting gossip to attach itself to GTA for some time.

Expect clarification at this May's E3.

Judging by the documentary that was on TV last night... not good. He looks like a fat, slightly sad, drug addled, Bernard Manning. He's experienced some poor health recently, but he's a largely better now. But for some reason, he subject to a court order that states the he has to give every penny he earns to his previous managers. Thing is, I only caught the second half of the one hour documentary, so I not sure why, exactly, he is subject to such a pernicious ruling. He's fighting it in the courts, but it's taking a long time...

He was DJ'ing at Elbow Rooms in Leeds last week, and he admitted on the programme that he is keeping some money from the DJ'ing, in breach of the court order... but Jesus, the man's gotta eat.. he's got a young kid for god's sake. Whoever his former management are they should just FOAD. But apparently, she's now Ann Widdecombe's personal assitant, which is a fate worse than death. But there still no excuse for a leeching talentless scumbag (aren't all managers this?) to deprive Shaun of EVERYTHING.

This is all pretty sad for the man behind some of the finest records ever released. Maybe we should set up a "Shaun Ryder" fighting fund. He has to give up his earnings, but these wouldn't be earnings, they'd be charitable (not in a govenrment recognized tax-deducible sense) donations.
