The Beatles Get Back to Where They Once Belonged

Brian Fairbanks — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 15:05:00 GMT

It was forty years ago today when Paul McCartney told the band to play.

The Beatles were on the roof of Apple Corp., their record company's building, gearing up to play and record the songs from their stalled "Get Back" sessions. It was freezing as hell and they hadn't performed live in over three years, but as you can see here, the band was in great spirits...

Today, Apple employees in London wanted to have a memorial party in the same spot as the Beatles' last public performance, but the police vetoed it. Wouldn't that have been incredible?

Luckily for us Americans, Ken Mansfield is holding a similar tribute concert on the roof of Seattle's Pike Place Market:

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Beatles' last performance, the band's former U.S. manager, Ken Mansfield, is teaming up with Seattle Beatles cover band Crème Tangerine for a free performance at Pike Place Market Friday. Mansfield was standing with Yoko Ono for the Beatle's final show, just steps away from the band. It was an impromptu performance to a London lunch crowd atop the rooftop of their record company, Apple... [Seattle Times]

Ellen Barkin may do an HBO series that will serve as her revenge plot against her asshole ex-husband.

Morrissey, Amy Winehouse, My Bloody Valentine, Leonard Cohen, the Cure, and Paul McCartney are the headliners for Coachella. (David Bowie said no.)

You can thank Joe Biden for pushing Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State.

Alaska is about to be wiped out by a giant volcano. Or something.

We can't imagine she's a strong comedian: Caroline Kennedy may be heading to SNL.

And Mike White, writer/co-star of the School of Rock and other films, will join his very interesting Dad on The Amazing Race. This might actually be worth watching now...

Sloppy Seconds: What Happened To Harvey Dent?

Brian Fairbanks — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 21:18:00 GMT

No wonder it was so easy to change votes: we had no idea Ohio allowed random people to babysit voting machines at their own homes prior to the election. Anyone who thinks Ohio voted fair and square can at least admit that was a pretty stupid idea, right?

Speaking of Ohio and politics, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones was pronounced dead, then that was retracted, following a brain aneurysm. Tubbs-Jones, a black Congresswoman and hardcore Hillary supporter, is currently in critical condition.

Britney's condition has improved, so much so that people actually want to read about her latest diet...

"I have no sugar. I don't eat fruit or even fruit juice because of the sugar. I eat chicken and salmon and rice. I eat avocados. I'll have egg whites for breakfast and sometimes turkey burgers for lunch.

"I try to do just 1,200 calories a day. It may sound like it's not much, but it's actually a lot of food if you eat the right things.'"

The famous two-headed turtle was turtle-napped last night. How much ya wanna bet it won't be two days before the idiot who stole it will brag to one too many of his friends...

Another bet: How long before they make a movie of the woman who spent her 37th birthday robbing gas stations with her teenage son?

Maybe she spanked her kid too much or something. After all, according to Strollerderby, spanking is just a gateway drug to hardcore beat-downs.

Meanwhile, Paul McCartney denies he has plans to marry a virtually unknown "American socialite."

And finally: Moviegoers have been arguing for weeks about the open-ended climax to the Dark Knight-- spoiler alert! Haven't seen The Dark Knight? Then skip the next paragraph and go straight to the Related section, please...

The script for the blockbuster sequel was made available for purchase on Tuesday and soon after found its way online. It's a long read at 167 pages, but fans looking for confirmation on the fate of Dent need only look at page 163.
"Dent lies at the bottom of the hole, his neck broken," the stage direction, written by brothers Jonathan and Christopher Nolan, reads. "DEAD." (Capital letters their emphasis, not ours.)

We couldn't imagine Paul McCartney ever hitting anyone-- shit, could you imagine the guy who wrote "Yesterday" and "Maybe I'm Amazed" getting medieval on anyone? Now, Heather Mills' ex-publicist is speaking out and basically confirming what we suspected all along: the evidence of McCartney abusing his ex-wife was completely fabricated to help the wife's case.

We're pretty sure it's a fake of... something... but WTF is this photo Gawker posted?

Heather Mills is Too Good For Your Sex Shop

Emily Farris — Mon, 05 May 2008 17:07:00 GMT

Heather Mills is ~~too good~~ too rich to endorse sex shops. She recently turned down £100,000 to become the face of Britain’s biggest chain of sex stores.

Private Shops hoped the 40-year-old former porn star would lead their advertising campaign.

The 100-outlet chain wanted her to model fantasy wear and promote a range of adult material.

But Mills — who won a £24.3million divorce pay-out from SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY — declined.

A Private Shops spokesman said: “Heather is beautiful, outspoken, has charisma and is a wonderful mother.

“She would have appealed to all our customers. Men would have loved her looks and figure while our female clientele could associate with her ambition and strength of character.”

A spokesman for Mucca said it was not the right “direction” for her career.

Uh, yeah, ambition.

Sloppy Seconds: Father-Daughter Love Child

And you thought dry humping Jennifer Garner at the Oscars was the craziest thing Gary Busey's ever done?

Check out this interview with Busey from a recent issue of Maxim, which pokes lots of fun at the weirdo actor's drug history, including the time he did coke off his dog's ass. This Sloppy Seconds gonna write itself, wethinks.

Jay and Beyonce got married on Friday. Or was it Saturday? Are they even an item? No one knows for sure. We gotta say, more power to the both of them for not letting the slimeballs at Us Weekly get anything out of this.

And an incestuous relationship between a father and daughter in Australia has produced, gag, a child. (Isn't Mom a little worried that her convicted armed-robber lover/father is perhaps already after the nine-month-old for his next conquest?) Normally, we'd make a joke about this being a great reality show for E!'s midseason replacement lineup, but we don't want to give them any ideas.

Dad/Husband: "Of course I knew it was illegal but, you know, so what."

Mrs. Deaves said the physical relationship with her father was like "a sexual relationship with any other man". For Mr. Deaves the sexual relationship was "absolutely fantastic".

The Ew! True Heatherwood Story: Sex, Sex, Sex!

Emily Farris — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 15:11:00 GMT

"Researchers" have been digging into Heather Mills' past and have collected a bunch of her ex-boyfriends/lovers/etc for a documentary that one producer is calling "the program Sir Paul should have seen before he decided to get married."

"[They] have found some things she'll probably not be too happy to see again. She's tough and she's bounced back before. But she's worried this could lead to further problems for her in Britain."

While we're sure there's plenty of dirt on Ms. Mills, we'll have a hard time taking this documentary seriously. That doesn't mean we're not going to invite friends over and make popcorn and yell things like "nasty Bitch!," "dirty ho!" and "aw, snap!" at the television screen.

Heather Mills, nee McCartney, is the ultimate gold digger. We can officially call her that now that she's robbed Paul McCartney of 25 million pounds sterling.

Although she is in big with charities all over the world, including Adopt A Landmine, is there anyone out there who seriously believes this woman, obviously suffering from euphoria (as well as bitterness that her settlement wasn't 200 million) is going to give the majority of her windfall to charity? Or really much of it at all?

Little Frances Bean Cobain is all grown up, and doing fashion spreads for Bazaar. She looks great even though we can totally tell that's not her real hair color.

Our big little sister FameCrawler is reporting that Juilette Lewis said Brad Pitt wasn't much of a big deal down there.

"Crash" and the Other "Crash"

Emily Farris — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 17:49:00 GMT

A couple years ago, we were flipping channels with then-boyfriend and came upon "Crash." Thinking it was the film that had recently won all of the awards, we watched and watched and watched waiting for something really compelling and deep to happen. Also we were waiting for Matt Dillon to appear on screen. About halfway through, we realized we were watching soft porn and we were not going to see Matt Dillon that night. We might have realized this sooner had we not smoked so much pot. After a quick IMDB search we learned we were watching the nineties "Crash," in which Rosanna Arquette plays a disabled woman who gets hot over car accidents. We didn't watch the entire thing, but Heather Mills (who lost a leg in a motorcycle accident) did and she is "disgusted" by it.

In case you didn't know why any of this matters, Rosanna Arquette and Paul McCartney are an item, and these are the kinds of things you have to say 10 years after the fact when you're going through a messy public divorce. But you already knew that.
