You know you’ve made it big in showbiz, when music icon Sir Paul McCartney personally asks you to play a song by The Beatles at an exclusive event at The White House.
(Unless you’re Justin Bieber, in which case you’ll know you’ve hit the “Big Time” when you can’t set foot in any mall in America without sparking a stampede of teens.)
The Jonas Brothers had the distinction of performing the pop classic “Drive My Car” — per McCartney’s request — at his Gershwin Ceremony, airing this week on PBS.
He loves you! McCartney serenades the First Lady. After snagging the Library of Congress’ coveted Gershwin Prize in a ceremony at The White House on Wednesday, Sir Paul McCartney performed The Beatles love tune “Michelle” for Mrs. Obama. The music icon later joked that he was in danger of becoming the first guy to ever be “punched out by the president!”
Even Sir Paul McCartney can’t stop the power of GTL! When the well-gelled and heavily -liquored cast of Jersey Shore descended on South Beach Miami last Friday night to begin filming the second season of MTV’s popular docusoap, they caused an even bigger scene than the Beatles legend, who went virtually unnoticed as he made his way around the sunny town last week.
According to The New York Post’s Page Six Column, the cast was swarmed by paparazzi and camera crews, shrouded by black umbrellas and were flanked by 20 security guards and two police cruisers as they checked into Miami’s Metrople Hotel, where they will send the next several weeks.
