"paul mccartney" news and stories

Yes, you read that correctly. Starbucks is planning to further diversify its brand and expand into the music recording business. The company's existing Los Angeles-based Hear Music label plans to sign its own artists; both established performers and those just emerging into the music industry. Naturally, the CD's will be sold in Starbucks stores, as well as through various other retailers. Rumor has it, in fact, that Paul McCartney has ended his 43-year relationship with Capitol Records and will be the first artist to sign under the Starbucks brand, bringing with him his entire catalogue of Wings and solo work.

This isn't the first time Starbucks has attempted non-coffee related ventures ,though -- it has already extended into books, a movie and has a branded page at the online iTunes store. Four Hear Music Coffeehouses, where customers can purchase music and burn to CDs, are currently open, so we can probably expect to see more of those coming soon as well.

Do Paul McCartney fans sit around chatting about how Paul should have his own cooking show? Someone must have told him that that is what people want to see, because Paul is shown here, starring in his own cooking clip, preparing mashed potatoes. He even seems to have a professional set and a crew.  Paul keeps reiterating that he has no idea what he's doing as he peels, boils and mashes the potatoes with lots of margarine and some milk. He also demonstrates his "technique" for chopping onions - which should not be used unless you want to risk chopping off your own fingers - that are added as a "special" ingredient.

Paul opens by asking "How exciting is this on the internet?"

The answer is not very, Paul. But you might actually do well if the Food Network runs another season of The Next Food Network Star.
