Paul McCartney and David Letterman
Paul McCartney, in his first-ever appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, performed on the marquee of the show's Ed Sullivan Theater and reminisced about The Beatles' appearance there, 45 years ago, and the beginning and end of his friendship with Michael Jackson.
McCartney delivered a vibrant version of "Get Back" and a new song, "Sing the Changes," to thousands of fans who filled Broadway to watch the legendary singer perform.

He told Letterman he was 22 when he and the rest of the Beatles performed at the Ed Sullivan Theater in 1964, the start of rock's British Invasion. He also recalled performing "Yesterday" solo and saying no when a floor manager asked if he was nervous about performing it alone.
"You should be," McCartney recalled the manager saying. "There's 73 million people watching."
McCartney also went into detail about his first contact with Jackson, with whom he collaborated on the hits "Say Say Say," and "The Girl is Mine."

Heather Mills, having herself just emerged from a courtroom drama, will now be doing some judging of her own. According to Extra, the former Dancing with the Stars contender has been booked as a judge for the the Miss USA pageant, to be held April 11 in Las Vegas.This news comes on the heels of Mills' divorce settlement, in which her ex, Sir Paul McCartney, was ordered to pay her $48.7 million. At the close of the hearing, Mills approached McCartney's table, said, "I'm not a loser," and then dumped a jug of water on his lawyer's head.The case's judge, meanwhile, criticized Mills' performance during the trial. "The husband's evidence was... balanced," Judge Hugh Bennett said, per court documents. "I cannot say the same about the wife’s evidence." "Having watched and listened to her," Bennett continued, "I am driven to the conclusion that much of her evidence, both written and oral, was not just inconsistent and inaccurate but also less than candid. Overall she was a less than im...

Paul's wallet is dead.London's High Court on Monday ordered former Beatle Paul McCartney to pay his estranged wife Heather Mills 24.3 million pounds — that's $48.7 million to you and me — as their long-running and nasty divorce proceedings came to a close. "I am so glad it is over," the AP quotes Mills as saying after the ruling. "It was an incredible result in the end to secure mine and my daughter's future and that of all the charities that I obviously plan on helping and making a difference with. [That] has been my life for 20 years."Mills, who had represented herself in the courtroom, urged other divorcées-to-be to do the same thing. "You can be a litigating person," says the former Dancing with the Stars contender. "You'd save yourself a fortune." And, it would seem, collect a whole other one on top of that.

Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy by Lester Cohen/WireImage.com
Sure, they’ve had their share of squabbles over the years. But that hasn’t deterred Kermit and Miss Piggy from rekindling their romance. TV Guide has learned that a digitally enhanced pilot for a new version of the MuppetShow is in the works at Jim Henson Studios. “The show will have the original puppets but they’ll be able to walk around,” says a source close to the project. “It’s going to be like the original variety show, not the cartoons that came out afterwards.” According to one Hollywood insider, Paul McCartney will appear as a celebrity guest at the 27-year reunion. “He’s hilarious,” says the source. “The Muppets keep asking what it’s like to be a Beatle and he keeps telling them he has a new band now. They don’t care at all. They just want to hear about the Beatles.” “To our knowledge, Paul McCartney is not involved in a Muppets project,” the singer’s publicist Paul Freundlich told TV...

Despite rumors of a possible season-finale drop-by and the abundance of Beatles tunes on display Wednesday night, Paul McCartney did not and perhaps will not ever grace the American Idol stage. The Fab fourth reportedly has a standing invitation to visit Idol, but his peeps "find the show cheesy," a source tells the New York Daily News, and feel "it's beneath him." But dressing up as a clown and having a seltzer fight with Jacko in "Say, Say, Say"? Not cheesy.

Speaking to E! News, Dancing with the Stars "charity activist and campaigner" Heather Mills sobbed as she surveyed the toll her divorce from Paul McCartney has taken on her. "All I did was fall in love with someone madly, and I'm constantly being vilified in the press for it," she shared. As for accusations that the former Beatle's soon-to-be-ex is a gold digger, Mills countered, "If I was, I would've been a very wealthy woman... and that wasn't the case at all." Prior to wedding McCartney, Mills spents 14 years earning money through speaking engagements, savings which she in turn used to help McCartney return to the stage.
