McCartney Says Lennon's Remarks About Beatles Were Fueled by Drugs

Paul McCartney has dismissed John Lennon's criticisms of the Beatles, including those included in a recent Rolling Stone article called 'Why The Beatles Broke Up.' Sir Paul attributes Lennon's negative sentiments, especially the ones made during a December 1970 interview with magazine founder Jann Wenner, to "drugs" and talking "crap" that he did not mean.

During the interview, Lennon said he felt "sick" over selling out as a band and was "fed up" playing sidekick to Paul McCartney, saying that feeling was mutual for Ringo Starr and George Harrison. He also reveals he was upset with how the other Beatles treated his wife, Yoko Ono.

"They despised her," Lennon said. "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 was alright but the other two really gave it to us. I'll never forgive 'em."

Speaking about Lennon's complaints after the band's 1970 split to Radio Times, McCartney now says, "Oh, he was on drugs, wasn't he? This is the trouble with history, with journalism."

"Whatever bad things John said about me," Macca added, "he would also slip his glasses down to the end of his nose and say, 'I love you.' John said so much crap that he later said he hadn't meant. It's bulls--- ... We were there. We all enjoyed it. I never really criticized John. I'm not that critical. It's a question of personalities."

Wife Shames Cheating Husband During Rush Hour

Burning shame combined with the August morning sun and about a gazillion highly amused stares was the punishment one man endured for cheating on his wife.

William Taylor of Centreville, Va., got caught getting a little action on the side when he forgot to remove the incriminating evidence from his cell phone.

After finding the proof, his wife doled out a rather interesting punishment -- she forced him to stand at one of the busiest intersections in the D.C. metropolitan area wearing a sandwich board telling everyone he's a cheater. Consider it a modern-day version of a scarlet letter -- humiliating, but less catastrophic than some scorned women's destructive revenge tactics.

"I thought she was kidding, but she was serious," Taylor said.
"I figured I got to do what I got to do to makes things right. So here I am."

His punishment is set to last all week. Each day when morning rush hour winds down, William gets a text from his wife, giving him permission to stop the public humiliation for the day, although repeat sightings of Taylor suggest this is at least a week-long punishment. Those daily texts will probably make him happier than all the ones he got from his mistress combined.

Billy Ray Cyrus May Lend 'Achy Breaky' to a 'Major Star'

Billy Ray Cyrus skyrocketed into the country music scene in 1991 with 'Achy Breaky Heart,' and -- all jokes aside -- he is convinced that the tune that made him famous is still a hit. Approaching the 20-year anniversary of 'Achy Breaky,' he reveals to CNN that "there are some major stars who want to re-do that song." And while the singer has not officially agreed to let someone else record it, he says, "I'm flirting with the idea. There's one cat in particular that if I told you who it was, it would blow your mind. But I've got to keep it under my hat right now."

BRC, the suspicion is killing us!
