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.
On Wednesday night, music legend Paul McCartney returned to New York’s famous Ed Sullivan Theater 45 years after his first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show sparked “Beatlemania” in America. During his chat on the Late Show with David Letterman, Paul McCartney opened up about befriending and later drifting apart from the late Michael Jackson.
Paul said he first met Michael in the early ’80s, after the star called asking if he wanted to make some hit songs together.
“You know, he came to my house and we got to know the family and stuff,” Paul told Dave. “We had a really good time. We made a couple of records together ["Say Say Say" and "The Girl is Mine"], did a video and were very good friends.”
The Brit admits that the friendship was never quite the same, though, after Michael bought the Beatles music catalogue and decided not to sell it to Paul.
“He kept saying, ‘That’s just business, Paul, you know,’ so I went, ‘Yeah, it is,’ and waited for a reply. But we never kind of got to it and I thought, ‘Mmmmm,’ so we kind of drifted apart. It was no big bust-up. We kind of drifted apart after that. But he was a lovely man, massively talented and we miss him.”
