In keeping with the Paul McCartney concert-theme, I present the following from ChicagoNow:
According to conspiracy theories that have been swirling since the 60’s, Paul McCartney never wrote “Band On the Run”, or formed the band Wings. Paul McCartney never sang “The Girl is Mine” with Michael Jackson, he was never knighted by the Queen of England, he was never a beloved husband and father, and he certainly never married Heather Mills. I guess that means Paul McCartney also isn’t playing Wrigley Field… this is because Paul McCartney is allegedly dead.
A Hollywood production company, Highway 61 Entertainment, is backing many of these theories in a documentary called, “Paul McCartney Really Is Dead; The Last Testament of George Harrison”. The documentary alleges that the real Paul McCartney was buried in a grave without a headstone at a lonely ceremony in 1966 (cue: “Eleanor Rigby”) and that the man we have know as Paul McCartney since 1966 is really a Liverpoolian impostor whose real name is William Campbell (on most accounts — the name varies and has changed). Supposedly (being the key word), Campbell took on the persona when the rockstar who was “bigger than Jesus” perished on a dark, rainy, night after when a crazed fan he had picked up walking in the rain made him veer off the road and smash his white Austin Healy into a wall.
A Hoax?
Who doesn’t believe that McCartney isn’t one of the greatest musicians alive? Or that he was part of the greatest rock and roll band to have ever lived? And what if Paul McCartney had died in 1966 and the British Intelligence Agency, MI5 really hadn’t wanted a sweep of suicides all over the world. What if they really did take the still un-named winner of the “Paul McCartney lookalike contest ” in 1966 and made him into the new Paul McCartney?
(Above: a picture of William Campbell, the “supposed” winner of the Paul McCartney lookalike contest held in 1966 and Paul McCartney. Notice the similar scars between Campbell and current day McCartney.)
According to this documentary, which to be perfectly honest is one part very intriguing and one part ridiculous, someone sent an anonymous tape to Highway 61 Entertainment in 2005 marked as “The Last Testament of George Harrison”. They believe the tape was made as he sat in the hospital after he was attacked by a crazed fan in 1999. He was maybe fearing for his life and wanted to get his story out (vocal analysis of the voice being George Harrison’s have led to inconclusive).
The tape supports the claim that theorists have made for years, that MI5 and the three other Beatles (and McCartney’s parents, I guess) covered up McCartney’s real death in 1966, thinking the group would inevitably disband sooner than later. As the band only grew in popularity, the Beatles wanted to come clean, but an MI5 officer named “Maxwell” threatened their lives if they were ever to tell the truth. Eventually, the guilt started to tear at the other Beatles, most specifically at John Lennon, so “they” (Harrison and Lennon) began hiding clues in the music and on album covers to deal with the guilt.
For Instance…
It’s all in the songs. The woeful cries of guilt, grief and pain! The documentary alleges that in the song “Taxman,” George Harrison gave his “advice for those who die,” meaning McCartney, and that the entire Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album was flushed with Paul-is-really-dead clues.
It’s also indicates, for instance that in songs like “A Day in the Life,” in which the lyrics are, “He blew his mind out in a car” and the recorded phrase “Paul is dead, miss him, miss him,” becomes evident when the song is played in reverse, something George Harrison had apparently gotten really good at doing (recording music backwards). John Lennon also allegedly mumbled, “I buried Paul” at the end of “Strawberry Fields Forever” (in interviews, Lennon said the phrase was actually “cranberry sauce”).
Most importantly, the main give-away is that “I Am the Walrus” is supposedly a song about what McCartney looked like when Maxwell had them identify the deceased Beatle after the accident.
Then there are the album covers that some believe blatantly tell the story of a dead McCartney and a John Lennon who was obsessed with guilt. The original cover of 1966’s Yesterday and Today album featured the Beatles posed amid raw meat and dismembered doll parts — supposedly symbolizing McCartney’s gruesome accident. You may also know that if you place a mirror in front of the Sgt. Pepper album cover, the words Lonely Hearts on the drum logo could be read as “1 ONE 1 X HE 1 DIE”
And of course, there’s the legendary Abbey Road cover, where John, George and Ringo forwent all pretense and pretended to cross the street as a funeral procession. John wore all white, like a clergyman. Ringo, the mourner, donned all black. George donned jeans, like a gravedigger. Paul wore no shoes (he didn’t need them, he is dead) and walked out of step with the others.
Other wacky “look, look, see, he’s dead” allegations that were made in the Highway 61 documentary include: An idea that Paul McCartney smoked a lot of pot back in the 60’s and 70’s to ease the pain of all of the plastic surgery he was having done; That fearing his life, John Lennon left his wife and kids to fake a romance with Yoko Ono, but MI5 had him killed inevitably; That if you notice, Paul McCartney switched bass arms once John Lennon died, getting cocky of course; In some interviews, you can hear Harrison refer to McCartney as “Faul” (the word they used when talking about Paul: Fake + Paul = Faul); That McCartney skipped the Beatles induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame out of respect to the rest of the band; And my personal favorite, that Heather Mills was really the crazed fan that was in the car with McCartney the night he died (real name: Rita) — they might even go as far as to allege that she lost her leg that way and that she blackmailed him into marrying her. I don’t really remember about the leg part…
Is Paul McCartney dead? It’s unlikely, but you never know, someone might blow the lid off this whole thing one day. If he is dead and Paul McCartney is really William Campbell (or Billy Someone or other), then that means the greatest rock band in the history of music was built around a sham. Around guilt. The truth remains just as shaky as the truths for all the other far-fetched-but-sort-of-intriguing answers in the world like whether or not we landed the moon in a Hollywood sound-stage, what really happened in Roswell and who shot Kennedy. Could the tape really have been made by Harrison? Sure. But it should be dually noted that he was known to be a jokester…
(Paul vs. Faul. Is it the same person?)
One thing is certain, if current day Paul is a faker, the man playing the part has been doing it for at least 42 years, which, no matter how you want to theorize it, makes him the real Paul McCartney either way.
I’ve seen pictures of this Easy Feet thing and wondered at people who can’t bend down to wash their feet (however, I’ll get back to you on that after I finish off the Almond Roca). Click the link and watch the whole infomercial (it’s only a few minutes) – it’s impossible to stop watching. These Seen on TV people really know how to hook you. And I’m not getting paid to say this…although it would be nice.
And more Amazon stuff that The Goddess did not know actually existed (sent to me by one of you sick fucks – and i thank you).

FYI, there are lots more of these on Amazon, but in keeping with the discount theme, this is the cheapest. Order your holiday presents early. And whatever happened to “squat and pee?”
 Rebecca Nalepa was found dead at Spreckels Mansion. Max Shacknai died days after falling at the residence. (KSWB-TV) |
Police were called to the seaside home of of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp founder and CEO Jonah Shacknai around 10 a.m. July 11 after his 6-year-old son, Max, was critically injured from what police said was reported as a fall from a staircase in the home, Coronado Police Chief Louis Scanlon said.
The boy later died of his injuries.
The family released the following statement Sunday night:
“With great sadness, Dina and I convey the tragic passing of our beloved son, Max (affectionately known as Maxie). Despite heroic efforts on the part of paramedics and hospital staff, he was unable to recover from the injuries suffered early last week. His loving, kind and vibrant spirit will forever be in our hearts and those whom he touched every day. The loss to our families, Max’s many friends of all ages and teammates, and the community is immeasurable.”
Max’s death is the second in less than a week at the mansion. Two days after Max’s injury, the body of his father’s 32-year-old girlfriend, Rebecca Nalepa, was found bound, nude and hanging from a second-story balcony overlooking the courtyard. Shacknai’s brother, Adam, a resident of a guest house on the property, found Nalepa, according to Captain Tim Curran of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department homicide squad.
Adam Shacknai alerted authorities by calling emergency 911 and cut down the unclothed body, which then fell into the courtyard, Curran said at a news conference Thursday.
Shacknai was not present in either case when authorities responded to the residence. When Shacknai’s son fell, authorities say they found only the injured boy and Nalepa at the home.
Both brothers and Jonah Shacknai’s ex-wife, Dina Shacknai, the mother of his 6-year-old son, were being questioned as witnesses in the investigation and were cooperating with detectives, Curran said.
Investigators say Nalepa and an unidentified 13-year-old were the only people home when Max was injured.
Authorities declined to discuss Jonah Shacknai’s current whereabouts.
The Arizona Republic newspaper cited his former mother-in-law, Nancy Romano, as saying Jonah and Dina Shacknai had been with their son since he was hospitalized.
Curran said no one has been detained or was considered a suspect in the case, which investigators have not so far labeled as the result of foul play even though Nalepa was found with her hands tied behind her back and her feet also bound.
Curran said investigators have not ruled out suicide.
“Because of the unique and bizarre circumstances, it has yet to be determined whether this is a homicide or a suspicious death,” Curran told reporters. “This is a very bizarre death. There is no doubt about it.”
KSWB-TV is reporting that Nalepa was distraught and crying when she turned her dog over to a kennel hours before she was found dead. Her autopsy results have been sealed and toxicology results were pending. A determination on her cause of death could be made later this week.
A homicide detective tells the station that the deaths may be connected, but declined to elaborate.
Court records show Jonah and Dina Shacknai, his second wife, had their divorce finalized in January of this year, though Romano told the Arizona Republic that her former son-in-law and Nalepa had been together for about two years.
Nalepa, who was herself divorced in February, had her maiden surname of Zahau legally restored in May, according to court records in Arizona.
Medicis issued a brief statement on the incident without giving details.
“The Medicis family is deeply saddened to learn of a tragic incident at a California property owned by Jonah Shacknai,” the company said. “Our thoughts are with Jonah and his family and ask that the family’s privacy be respected during this difficult period.”
Land records show that Shacknai, 54, whose Scottsdale, Arizona-based company is maker of the acne treatment Solodyn and wrinkle-filler Restylane, purchased the 27-room landmark property known as the Spreckels Mansion in October 2010.
Shares of the company, which reported 2010 revenues of $700 million, tumbled by as much as 5 percent following news of the investigation.
More craziness from The Bloggess. As always, this comes with the usual “don’t drink any liquids” caveat:
This week CNN ran a story called “9 Things You Shouldn’t Say to Your Child.” Personally, I was surprised that they could only think of nine, but I assumed that I could guess them all without even reading their post. So I wrote down my list of things that I thought you should never say to your kid and turns out their list of prohibited things included stuff like “Don’t be sad” and “Great job!”
My list included things like, “Of course you can go play with those bears” and “But how will you know you don’t like meth unless you try it?”
I suppose CNN and I will just have to agree to disagree on this one. But while we’re on the subject, I’d like to share with you my list of things you probably shouldn’t say to your child. (Feel free to add your own in the comments.)

And there is no way I could ever make this stuff up…
She made the headlines last year when she confessed to teaching her then six-year-old daughter Poppy to pole dance. And now Sarah Burge is back in the spotlight again – for all the wrong reasons.
The 50-year-old mother – a self-confessed plastic surgery addict known as The Human Barbie – has boasted that she gave a £6,000 breast enlargement voucher to her daughter for her seventh birthday.
Miss Burge, who has spent more than £500,000 on her own surgical enhancements and wants to make her daughter into a glamour model, said Poppy ‘squealed with delight’ when she was given the voucher.
Appropriate? Sarah Burge has given her daughter a £6,000 boob job voucher for her seventh birthday
She said: ‘Poppy begged me for a boob job, so I gave her the voucher so she can have it after she’s 16, when it’s legal.
‘If she develops naturally big boobs, she can have something else done with it.’
The voucher was part of a £12,000 ‘exotic pamper party’ that Miss Burge organised to mark her daughter’s birthday.
Excited: Poppy ‘squealed with delight’ when she was given the voucher, according to her mother
Poppy and seven friends had manicures, pedicures and makeovers. They dressed up with fake tattoos, drank pretend champagne in the back of a pink pamper bus and ate a designer cake costing £250.
Poppy wore a £300 dress for the party, adding nail varnish, eyeshadow and hair extensions.
Miss Burge told Closer magazine: ‘Poppy isn’t interested in bouncy castles or pass the parcel, so I splashed out on something a little more grown-up.
‘The girls got lots of attention from our neighbours.
‘They love having all eyes on them and were posing and pouting for photos,’ she said.
As well as the breast enlargement voucher, Miss Burge bought her daughter thousands of pounds worth of gifts, including a £250 computer, a £450 pink Swarovski crystal ring and necklace set and the promise of a £4,000 spa break.
The main event though, was the breast enlargement voucher.
Poppy says: ‘I wanted a new computer, a holiday and a voucher for surgery. When I got it all, it was a dream come true. All my friends were jealous.
‘I can’t wait to be like Mummy with big boobs. They’re pretty.’
Exotic: The voucher formed part of a £12,000 ‘pamper party’ laid on by Miss Burge to celebrate Poppy’s birthday
Miss Burge, who lives in a £500,000 four-bedroom home in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, is more than capable of paying for the lavish celebration thanks to the lucrative business she runs organising plastic surgery and swinging parties and writing erotic novels.
Admitting that her daughters Charlotte, 25, Hannah, 17 and step-daughter Jazzy, 17, have already had Botox and are planning further surgery of their own, Miss Burge reveals a worryingly blasé attitude towards surgery.
Set to celebrate her 51st birthday later this year with £51,000 of surgery including a facelift, bottom implants and liposuction, she plans to allow her youngest daughter to watch the procedures on video.
She said: ‘I want Poppy to see what will happen.
‘Some people think it’s controversial and I get angry when strangers say I’m a bad mother because I don’t think there’s any harm in giving her this gift.
‘Poppy is a normal kid who is good at sports and loves playing outside. Girls don’t want Snow White and Cinderella any more.
‘They want to be WAGs and famous like Cheryl Cole and Lady Gaga. I’m just supporting her and making her dreams come true.’
