Paul McCartney Paris Hilton Duet…
Posted on 10. Feb, 2009 by CSS.
Paris Hilton cornered Paul McCartney at a Post-Grammys Bash with the suggestion that the Beatles legend join her for a musical collaboration on her upcoming sophomore album.
“I’d love to do a duet with you,” the heiress reportedly told Sir Paul at a party for the Recording Academy in Los Angeles on Sunday night. “I’m a singer too and have had an album out.”
One onlooker told The Sun: “Sir Paul was minding his own business when Paris traipsed right up to him and introduced herself.”
When that didn’t work, Paris complimented the 60-year-old on his hair, saying: “It’s just like in The Beatles. It’s so cute.”
“He looked bemused, smiled and nodded — then stumbled out that he’d have to check his schedule,” says the spy, who adds, “I don’t think we’ll be hearing the duet any time soon.”
Can you say Awkward!

Paul McCartney Says New Song Is Definitely Not About Ex-Heather Mills
Posted on 27. Nov, 2008 by CSS.
A new song on Paul McCartney’s new album, Electric Arguments, with “side project” band The Fireman, is definitely not about Heather Mills, as has been speculated, according to the ex-Beatle. “Nothing Too Much, Just Out of Sight” was thought by many to have been written about McCartney’s ex-wife whom he divorced this year.
Lyrics in the track include: “I remember you well/ Oh woman betrayed you/ I couldn’t resist you/ When I made you.”
However, Paul insists people are reading too much into the song, which is actually a sister track to his former band The Beatles’ popular song ‘Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da’.
He explained: “I didn’t have anyone in mind. There was an African guy called Jimmy Scott who I used to meet in nightclubs in London during the 60s.
“He was the guy who said to me, ‘Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life goes on’ and the other thing he used to say was, ‘Nothing too much man, just out of sight.’
“I always thought that it was a great thing to say, so it was really Jimmy. I just flew off that line and shouted out things around it.”

Paul McCartney Wants You To Boycott McDonalds.
Posted on 09. Oct, 2008 by CSS.
A McDonalds in McCartney’s hometown of Liverpool displayed a photo of him with his former Beatle bandmates as a form of tribute. Paul being the longtime vegetarian that he is wants his image to have nothing to do with the mega meaty fastfood- even if they were just trying to Honor him.
So what do you do when someone does something nice for you??? You have your rep call for all fans to boycott McDonalds!!
I’m all for standing by your convictions, i think that is very honorable- but isn’t it a little harsh to act this way when someone has probably been a die hard Beatle fan for life that they wanted to hang a picture I’m sure with others in memoriam….
The singer, who has been a vocal advocate of vegetarianism for 30 years was said to be furious after discovering pictures of the Beatles had been placed prominently in a restaurant in his home town.
His image appeared alongside former band mates John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison.
Geoff Baker, a spokesman for Sir Paul said: “What sort of morons do McDonald’s think Beatles’ fans are.
“It’s ridiculous and insulting to use images to peddle hamburgers. Fans should boycott Mcdonald’s, and not just in Liverpool.”
Sir Paul is a staunch supporter of animal rights, president of the Vegetarian Society of Great Britain and an ambassador for People for the Ethical treatment of Animals (PETA). His late wife Linda had her own range of vegetarian foods.
A PETA spokeswoman said: “He became a vegetarian after watching lambs play in a field outside his home and surely would not want anyone to use his likeness to help promote meat.
“We hope anyone who sees his picture on the wall will be reminded that he’s a vegetarian and skip the Big Mac for a veggie burger.”
A McDonald’s spokeswoman said the pictures were to “acknowledge the outstanding contribution the Beatles made to both local and global culture.”
