McCartney signs to Starbucks’ label - Mar 22 2007
Sir Paul McCartney has been unveiled in the US as the first artist to sign up to Starbucks’ new record label.

The former Beatle made an appearance via a video feed from London, at the company’s annual meeting.

The world’s largest speciality coffee retailer announced earlier this month that it was entering into a partnership with Concord Music Group to launch the Los Angeles-based Hear Music label.

The McCartney announcement is another big step for Seattle-based Starbucks’ attempts to spin part of its consumer appeal into the entertainment business. The group has already produced and sold a range of albums, and helped to develop a feature-length film.

Hear Music has been used as a brand on other releases developed for sale in Starbucks stores. The coffee giant also has a branded page on Apple’s iTunes digital music store, and a handful of hybrid music-and-coffee stores that allow customers to burn tracks to CDs.

Macca speaks about divorce battle - Mar 8 2007
Sir Paul McCartney has apparently broken his silence about his divorce battle with estranged wife Heather Mills.

The former Beatle, who joined Heather at the High Court for a private hearing last week, has said he can’t wait for the case to end, reports the Daily Mirror.

"I’m hoping it’ll soon be over," the 64-year-old is quoted as saying.

Sir Paul gave his trademark two-fingered salute as he left the court last week, while Heather made a low-key exit, her eyes hidden behind dark glasses.

However, the singer has reportedly denied his gesture meant he thought he was winning the fight over his multi-million fortune.

"I always do that," he said. "But that’s what it’s all about - peace on earth for everybody."

Paul and Heather’s hearing was believed to be a preliminary action before the main divorce case.

Former model Heather was back at the High Court yesterday. It was understood that she was to make an application before High Court judge Mr Justice Singer, but the details of what it entailed are not known.

Sir Paul’s two-fingered salute - Mar 1 2007
Was it peace or victory? Sir Paul McCartney gave his trademark two-fingered salute as he left London’s High Court today at the end of a private hearing in his divorce battle.

While the former Beatle appeared chirpy when he left the Queen’s Building, smiling and whistling, his estranged wife Heather Mills made a low-key exit.

She walked impassively, her eyes hidden behind dark glasses, past the media without offering any comment.

Sir Paul left shortly after noon and offered his two-fingered comment on the proceedings.

None of the lawyers would confirm that the present proceedings are over, but all the legal documents were removed from the courtroom.

The hearing, which began yesterday before Mr Justice Bennett, was in private but was believed to be a preliminary action before the main divorce case.

Although the cases in the Queen’s Building are mainly in private as it deals with family matters, the names of the parties are invariably posted outside the court with the case number.

But the McCartney/Mills hearing was listed as "Case" with the number FD06D03721.

Later, a joint statement was issued by the solicitors for Sir Paul and his wife.
