Here’s the Scoop….

As I’m writing this it’s early morning, hours before the
Michael Jackson memorial. I won’t be able to watch it as I
have a meeting out of the office, but I set it up to tape.

I am still amazed at all the coverage. Is it too much?

New Beatles Song Ready…

A new Beatles song is to be released. ‘Now And Then’, which
was composed by John Lennon in 1978 and later worked on by
Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr when they
reunited to work on the Beatles Anthology project in 1995,
never got released, but McCartney has been adding to it and
is now ready for fans to hear the track.

A source said: “The Beatles song ‘Now And Then’ is finished.
All four Beatles are on the track. The original Beatles
reunion version from 1995 was embellished with numerous
sessions over the last two years by Paul McCartney.

“He wants the song to come out very badly.”

As well as featuring Lennon and McCartney on vocals, Harrison,
who passed away in 2001, also sings backing vocals and plays
guitar.

If the track does get a release it will be the first new
Beatles song to come out since 1996’s ‘Real Love’, which
was composed by Lennon and later re-recorded by McCartney,
Harrison and Starr with Lennon’s original vocal part.

McCartney, 67, had also wanted to release the unheard
‘Carnival of Light’, a 14-minute composition, but Harrison
was against the plans.

Megan Fox ‘Cleaned Director’s Car In Audition’…

Megan Fox was forced to lather up and clean a Ferrari to land
her breakthrough role in ‘Transformers’.

Megan shot to superstardom after appearing in 2007’s
‘Transformers’ and this year’s sequel ‘Transformers: Revenge of
the Fallen.’
 
But her start in Hollywood was anything but glamorous, after
director Michael Bay made her clean his expensive car as part
of her audition for the role.

Word is he made her wash his Ferrari while he filmed her. Megan
was concerned as to where the footage may have ended up – quizzing
an embarrassed Bay over the bizarre audition.

He adds, “She said she didn’t know what had happened to that
footage. When I put it to Bay himself, he looked suitably abashed
‘Er, I don’t know where it is either’. ”

Fox and Bay have had a famously rocky professional relationship
last month Fox took a swipe at the Bay’s filmmaking stating that
the ‘Transformers’ sequel was “not a movie about acting.  Bay hit
back, branding the beauty “ridiculous” while telling her she “had
growing up to do”.

                  *-*-* GUESS WHO *-*-*-

The actor who has credited Kiefer Sutherland with saving his
acting career by punching him?

It’s ‘Prison Break star Robert Knepper… Knepper, who played
villain T-Bag in the hit TV drama, contemplated quitting
acting after struggling to land any roles.

But ‘24′ star Sutherland was determined not to let Knepper
give up, and literally knocked him back to his senses with
a heavy blow.

Knepper recalls, “Ten or 15 years ago, Kiefer used to go to
the same gym as me. I remember telling him that I wanted to
quit (acting). It was before Prison Break and I couldn’t find
any work and I wanted to quit.

“He f**king punched me! He punched me so hard. He told me,
‘Don’t you ever give up!’ and I thank Kiefer every day for
that advice.”
