                  BOSNIA BURGERS        
                  ------------------ 3/7
 Linda and Paul McCartney are to send   
 one million veggie burgers to Bosnian  
 war victims and promote their lifestyle
 in "The Simpsons" cartoons.            
                                        
 Linda McCartney, who producers her own 
 line of vegetarian meals, was inspired 
 to help in Bosnia after her former     
 Beatle husband joined in a charity     
 album to help child victims of the war.
 Twenty-two tonnes of dried veggie mix  
 are now being prepared for shipment to 
 Bosnia within two weeks.               
                                        
 The couple are also to appear in       
 cartoon form in "The Simpsons" to      
 promote their meat-free lifestyle.

           Texte draufgekritzelt haben. 
           Aber - zu sehen ist nichts   
           mehr. Dennoch brachte das

Translation:
    The pop auction at Sotheby's wasn't this good.
    But of course some offers were sold for amazing
    prices.
    For example the white bedroom door of Paul
    McCartney's teenager flat. Little Paul was reported
    to even having had written some lyrics onto it in former times.
    But - they cannot be seen any more. Anyway, this
    piece was auctioned for the amount of 3875 Pounds
    Sterling. Fans ...

 An instant album recorded by British

  The song will be part of the Bosnia charity CD

  number?), which will be in the shops on Saturday.

               NEW WORLD RECORD RECORD  
                                        
          A world record record was     
        created on Monday, as artists   
 in studios across Europe recorded an   
 album in just 24 hours.                
                                        
 Entitled "Help", all proceeds from the 
 album will go to War Child, the        
 charity set up to alleviate trauma for 
 the children of the former Yugoslavia. 
                                        
 The record will be in the shops by the 
 weekend in the UK, and in Europe by the
 beginning of next week.   Continued >>>
                                         
          Continued... The project is   
        based on something John Lennon  
 said when he was recording "Instant    
 Karma" - that good pop music should be 
 recorded on a Monday and be in the     
 shops by Saturday - even if it made    
 people panic.

 "Help" on Wednesday's edition of News

            Michael Jackson sucht sich  
           die Leute sehr genau aus,    
           mit denen er spricht. Aber   
           es geht auch andersherum.    
           Jacko will seit langem mit   
           Paul McCartney reden, aber   
           der sagt "no!"

           ein Nike-Commercial zur Ver-

           nicht - wie Gerüchte behaup-

Translation:
   Michael Jackson carefully choses the people
   with whom he speaks. But there's also the other
   way round. Jack does want to talk to Paul McCartney
   for a long time now but the latter says "no!"
   Background: The ex-Beatles is very annoyed that the
   glove wearer put the fab four classic "Revolution" at
   Nike's disposal for a commercial.
   Michael now tries to tell Paul personally that he has
   not - as rumors report - sold "Yestersay" for use in
   advertisements.

 Paul McCartney has been embroiled in a

 trousers. The former Beatle was looking
 through a catalogue from auctioneers   
 Sothebys a decade ago when he noticed a
 pair of "Paul McCartney's old leather  
 jeans" were up for sale.               
                                        
 McCartney rang the auction house to say
 the jeans weren't his - and even went  
 to try them on and found they were six 
 inches too short. He discovered they   
 were being sold by Alan Williams who   
 looked after the Fab Four for a short  
 period. Both men sued each other but   
 earlier this month the actions were    
 dismissed by a judge.

 But McCartney says he's glad he changed
 the lyrics because the song, which has 
 been played on the radio more than any 
 in history, remains his favourite Fab  
 Four track.

 Everywhere, Hey Jude, Fool On The Hill

 obvious favourite because it's the     
 biggest song ever."

 British rock star Paul McCartney has   
 sent back his razor, shaving cream and 
 other products to the Gillette Company 
 in protest at the manufacturer's use of
 animals in product testing.            
                                        
 In a letter to Gillette's chief        
 executive, Alfred Zeien, the former    
 Beatle said he was sending back all    
 Gillette products in his home and      
 demanded a refund, which he said he    
 would donate to animal rights group    
 People for the Ethical Treatment of    
 Animals, or PETA. McCartney and his    
 wife Linda are well`known animal rights
 activists in England.

    Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney hat sein   
   Rasierzeug an Gillette zurückge-     
   schickt. Der engagierte Tierschützer 
   will damit gegen Tierversuche beim   
   Test der Körperpflegemittel des Un-

    In einem Brief an Firmenchef Alfred 
   Zeien verlangt Paul sein Geld zurück,
   um es der Tierschutzorganisation     
   PETA zukommen zu lassen. Seinen Boy- 
   kott der Gillette-Produkte will er   
   erst beenden, wenn Gillette auf Tier-
   versuche verzichtet. Bei Englands    
   Jägern machte sich Paul durch seinen 
   Kampf gegen die Fuchsjagd unbeliebt.

    Nun hat die CD-Revolution also      
   auch das Frühwerk von Paul McCartney 
   erreicht. Seine Plattenfirma hat     
   16 Alben aus seiner Nach-Beatles-    
   Zeit auf die kleinen Silberlinge     
   pressen lassen, unter anderem        
   "Band On The Run", "McCartney" und   
   "Wild Life". Genaues Hineinhören     
   lohnt sich, denn die Qualität der    
   Alben ist sehr unterschiedlich. Sehr 
   zu empfehlen ist auf jeden Fall      
   "Band On The Run" mit Hits wie "Jet" 
   und "Mrs. Vanderbilt".               
    Fazit: Für die Fans von Paulchen    
           ein echtes Muß

 Macca s second single from his new     
 album Off The Ground is a change of    
 pace from the boppy Top 20 hit         
 Hope Of Deliverance.                   
                                        
 Weighing in at a ponderous 5 minutes   
 45 seconds, C'Mon People is a plodding 
 keyboard ballad with brass section     
 and occasional guitar licks.           
                                        
 Although in the same upbeat groove as  
 Hope Of Deliverance, Biker Like An Icon
 from the album would have been a much  
 better single.

 Paul and Linda McCartney have turned   
 down an advertisement in the programme 
 for Paul's forthcoming world tour from 
 US car maker General Motors because of 
 the company's animal rights record.    
                                        
 The decision to turn down the ad,      
 worth a five-figure sum in pounds, was 
 made when the McCartneys discovered    
 GM were using live animals as crash-   
 test 'dummies'.                        
                                        
 The space has instead been given away  
 free to animal rights organisation     
 P.E.T.A. - People for the Ethical      
 Treatment of Animals.
