Recently, an unheard interview with John Lennon surfaced, where the former Beatles bandmember put his comrades on blast, including Sir Paul McCartney.

Now, when questioned about the interview, Paul remains unfazed, insisting that it was probably drugs that made John speak ill of him, as well as recall that John often didn't mean half the things he said.

Says Macca:

"John said so much crap that he later said he hadn't meant. It's bullshit. We were there. We all enjoyed it. I never really criticised John. I'm not that critical. It's a question of personalities…Whatever bad things John said about me, he would also slip his glasses down to the end of his nose and say, 'I love you'.That's really what I hold on to. That's what I believe. The rest is showing off."

Do we sense some denial from Sir McCartney? Or is that some genuine truth? Guess we'll never know for sure.

What do U think?

The Beatles are arguably the greatest band to ever live, but the secret behind their split has never been fully understood. For years, the musicians have kept very mum about the circumstances that led to their breakup.

Until now.

A previously unreleased Rolling Stone interview tape with legendary band member John Lennon has now surfaced, and it reveals the great amounts of tension between him and Paul McCartney, as well as an angrier side of Lennon.

In the interview, John comments on feeling "sick" over selling out as a band as well as being "fed up" playing sidekick to Paul McCartney, a feeling that was mutual for Ringo Starr and George Harrison. John also had a problem with how his fellow band-mates treated his wife, Yoko Ono.

He said, "They despised her… It seemed I had to be happily married to them or Yoko, and I chose Yoko…George insulted her right to her face and I didn't hit him, I don't know why. Ringo (Starr) was alright but the other two really gave it to us. I'll never forgive 'em."

But ultimately, Lennon suggests the Beatles break-up was a long time coming. By the time they made it big in the early 1960s, Lennon said that the "music died" and that they never "improved" from that point forward.

Wow. A lot of resentment to be hidden for some many years.

Oh no!

Paul McCartney is setting out on a world tour next year aimed at performing in venues foreign to the music legend.

Locations being discussed are China's Tiananmen Square and the area surrounding Berlin's Checkpoint Charlie and several dates in Brazil.

The reason for the exotic locations is that this tour will be his last, according to reports!!!

The 70-year-old star is ready to give up life on the road.

"Paul wants to go out with a bang," claims a source. "He's played countless stadiums over his 50-year career and is on the hunt for the most unusual locations he can find. He realizes that the older he gets, the less his body will be able to cope with the demands of extended periods on the road."

But, don't worry!!! Sir Paul will still play the occasional show, but it may take the likes of President Obama or the Queen to get him there.

We'll be sad to see him retire, but what a way to go!!!

Dreams can come true fanatics, if you just believe and have one big friggin' sign!

A Perezcious reader sent us this photo and video of a former student of hers at a recent Paul McCartney. Her experience is one for the books:

"A former student of mine, Audrey, is obsessed with The Beatles and especially Paul McCartney. Over the weekend she went to another of his concerts. She held up a sign that said "Paul sign my arm so I can get it tattooed." The sign caught his attention and he stopped what he was doing and brought her on stage."

Watch her amazing experience above. We think she is just adorable.

Crazy, but adorable.

So now that Michael Jackson is dead, is Paul McCartney getting his music back…or what?

It turns out that it's not so simple.

One rumor was that Jackson had left McCartney the Beatles catalog in his will and another rumor is that McCartney was "devastated" to learn that Jackson had not. McCartney debunks both, saying, "Some time ago, the media came up with the idea that Michael Jackson was going to leave his share in the Beatles songs to me in his will which was completely made up and something I didn't believe for a second… Now the report is that I am devastated to find that he didn't leave the songs to me. This is completely untrue."

While Jackson did buy the catalog of 250 songs in 1985, it was eventually merged with Sony Music's catalog, with Jackson holding onto 50%, which he often used as collateral when borrowing money.

As a songwriter, McCartney still receives royalties, as does John Lennon's estate, for their work as Beatles.

Even though the friends "drifted apart," they never "really fell out," McCartney said regarding his relationship with Jackson.

And there you have it!

Paul McCartney said he'd like to collaborate with MGMT…sort of.

He said that it has to happen "organically" because he "can't call them" and that "if they called me, I'd say, 'How did you get my number?'. But I'd do it."

What does that even mean?

Just do it, y'all!

In the July issue of FHM Australia, Pink offers some fighting words directed at Kanye West.

Some HIGHlights include:

"Kanye West is the person pissing me off right now. I was at Stella McCartney's Paris fashion show with the vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Paul McCartney and Kanye West. The entire time Kanye is going, 'They need more fur in this show'. He just wouldn't shut up about how he loved fur. I mean, he's saying this to me, the PETA guy and Paul McCartney! I was just so grossed out by him. I'm like, 'You're an idiot!' There are so many people who I think are a waste of skin and he's up there. I should wear him. Go on, donate yourself Kanye. People can wear your fur."

'Nye should learn to know his audience better!

Pink lent her voice to a recent PETA commercial!

Plus, we can't think of any collection that would be made better by fur!!!!

Sir Paul McCartney is a little anal. The former Beatle brought beef to the mega search engine, Google, for including his London pad on the Google Maps website.

McCartney complained that his house was in full view when visitors of the site enabled the street view feature and his security team deemed it a safety issue.

Thus the property is no longer viewable and Google announced that now anyone can remove their house from the site by clicking a button.

We hope they are aware that the feature isn't a live feed of the street. It's not like anyone can spy on him using Google!
