Re: Paul To Be Super Bowl Entertainment in Feb
Not such a hard day's night
Even by Sir Paul McCartney's standards, it counts as a major payday.
The 62-year- old star was promised £1.8million for his 12-minute half-time appearance early today at America's greatest sporting event, the Superbowl.
That equates to £150,000 a minute or £2,500 a second.
Sir Paul's performance in Jacksonville, Florida, in front of an estimated TV audience of one billion, included the Beatles songs Drive My Car, Get Back and Hey Jude, plus his Bond theme song Live and Let Die.
It was expected to prove somewhat less controversial than last year's half-time act, when Janet Jackson outraged America as she flashed a breast during a dance routine with Justin Timberlake.
Concern over Heather
On Saturday, it emerged that friends of Sir Paul were concerned that he had co-written a song with his second wife Heather for his latest album, and she played saxophone on it.
She was seen by some as trying too enthusiastically to replace his late first wife Linda, who played in McCartney's band Wings.
The criticism appears to have touched a nerve with Sir Paul, who issued an 800-word statement on his 36-year-old wife's personal website.
He said she had never forced him into anything he did not want to do and had not been responsible for rifts with his friends or his family.
"It hurts me to see her wounded and not have anyone to put the record straight," he said. "The media sometimes suggests a rift between my kids and Heather, but in fact we get on great and anyone who knows our family can see this for themselves."
He also attacked his former publicist Geoff Baker who, it has been reported, was sacked at Heather's behest.
"The actual truth, which I had been trying to spare him the embarrassment of going public with, was that he had gradually been getting more and more unstable over the past few years," said Sir Paul.
"I tried to let him down gently but it was my decision alone to let him go as I didn't want that kind of instability around me. It was nothing whatsoever to do with Heather."
Yesterday Baker responded to the allegation, saying: "If I'm unstable that might be because somebody had driven me to that."
Making reference to the continuing ill-feeling between McCartney and John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono, he added: "I don't want to say any more because I have no intention of becoming Paul's new Yoko."
The former journalist could, however, have the last word. Sources close to Baker revealed that a novel he started writing after his sacking is about a journalist and PR man dealing with celebrities.
Titled You Probably Think This Book Is About You, in an echo of the lyrics to the Carly Simon song You're So Vain, it is already the subject of a bidding war between three publishing companies.
