McCartney Check-Mates Jacko, For Old Times’ Sake

Thursday, June 04, 2009
Music / By Roger Friedman

Look, let’s face it, Paul McCartney is fuming day and night about Michael Jackson. The former King of Pop has literally lived off of McCartney’s songs for the last twenty five years. If Jackson (spurred by his attorney John Branca) had not purchased the Beatles catalog in 1984 out from under Paul and Yoko, The Other Thin White Duke would be living in a cardboard box by now. Jackson has leveraged Lennon-McCartney for hundreds of millions of dollars to sustain his crazy lifestyle.

So what’s McCartney to do? How can he upstage Jackson’s comeback this summer? It’s brilliant, really: Paul is playing two shows at Citi Field in New York, the new Shea Stadium. The shows are slated for July 17th and 18th, right after Jackson may (or may not) debut his comeback extravaganza in London at the O2 Arena on July 13th and 14th.

Check, check-mate, Paul! Don’t mess with Macca!

And, get this: Paul’s shows, like Michael’s, are being produced by Randy Phillips and AEG Live. So Paul has taken the Jacko game, and done it one better because — realistically — McCartney’s return to “Shea,” where the Beatles had their greatest live successes, is going to be a world event. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ringo make an appearance since this fall the Beatles are launching a major promotional push with their “Rock Star” game and all their remastered CDs coming on September 9th.

The only real question: will Randy Phillips, the architect of all this, live through the summer? He’ll need his own Grammy award at this point!

Very interesting that Randy Phillips is producing Paul's shows as well

yeah i said it prince does look like michael even if he is light.



12 year old prince even resembles 18 year old michael , even though at that age michaels face was bigger than a 12 year olds. You can't say that boy doesn't have michaels nose. All these years people have been yapping about them not having any "black" features, well there you go prince has a wide nose and full lips. But i'm sure there are people who will only fanthom the idea that those are his children only if they look like clones.







anyway whatever i always though those were his kids and nothing is going to change my mind.

I find it disgraceful and unfair that out of all the celeb parents especially the ones who’s kids look white, asian, whatever and NOTHING like their parents, Michael is the only one who gets questioned and the only one who people continue to disrespect and say his kids are not his. Nobody says anything about the fact that quincy jones and lionel riche( and i’m not talking about nicole) both have kids that look completely white, even whiter than michael kids, with THEM it’s “oh the mothers genes were just strong” but with mj it’s ” those aint his damn kids” If that’s not a double standard i don’t know what one is. This shows a lot about the people . I’ve realized that people DON”T WANT those kids to be michaels , so they convinced themselves ( even though they have no proof) that their not. Cause mj having kids would be something normal and manly and people don’t want to see him that way. They want to continue to believe he some some kind of freak , who is a ” woman” and not man enough to have kids.

some people are just sad sad sad





on another note if you know anything about photography you would know that because of the weather and lighting or whatever, it has cause the kids skin to look lighter in those pictures than it probably is i've seen pics of those's kids were their skin looked dark , pics where their standing next to white people and it's obvious their mixed.

i've also noticed when we get pics of the kids where there is a resemblance. more excuses get sprouted. people will say "oh they look like him after surgery" it seems to me the older those kids get( well prince) the more the start to look like michael and the more excuses people make to keep believeing their not his.

right, i see what you are saying. Like when Madonna and Angelina adopted children from Africa. It's ok for them to have kids from different races that aren't theirs but not Michael since he wanted to be "white." When's the last time, you've seen a white person with black hair...very rare I might say indeed unless you are asian as well as for the nose...i guess all of us white people have small disfigured noses. Ignorance at its best.

Madonna & Angelina aren't pretending those adopted kids are biologically their. Now if MJ wants to adopt there nothing wrong with that, although with his history of child abuse allegations it may be a little difficult, but why pretend those are your biological children when it's obvious they are not. He obviously married Debbie Rowe so he can be seen as the legal father of the children because he obviously didn't marry her because they were truely in love & wanted to raise a family with her.

No matter how the lighting is, by now there should be a couple of pictures of Prince & Paris looking like mixed race kids, even if they do look more to the white side. Prince & Paris have no black blood in them, maybe Latino blood but no black blood, even Lourdes, Madonna daughter, looks blacker than those kids. Infact Blanket reminds me of Lourdes.

He married his surrogate, which is a very strange thing to do, people don't marry surrogate mothers unless there is an underlying issue.

how is it obvious they aren't his, Is it their color casue i acan flood this thread with biracial children who are the same color


is it cause they have no "black" features cause i see black features. princes nose, his lips even paris's nose is starting to get a little wider

is it cause paris has blue eyes cause i can show you biracial kids with blue or light eyes i can show you a BLACK man with light( joe jackson ring a bell) eyes If you know anything abut genetics you would know blue eyes can come out of green eyes. I'd be happy to locate a punit square or explain it to you.

it is because of their hair? Cause to me their hair doesn't look that straight and besides i can show you plenty of biracial children who have BONE straight hair.

Is it cause you don't think they don't "look" like michael? Cause prince looks just like michael to me and i'm glad someone agrees with me^. Is it cause paris doesn't look like michael? cause you're right she doesn't. But that doesn't mean anything it's obvious just looking at her that debbie rowe has some strong genes, even if her father was some white sperm donor she would still look like debbie you know why? cause debbie has some strong genes. but even so you can still tell she's mixed cause she looks like a darker mixed version of her mother


I'm just curious as to why you think it "obvious" their not his, and how is it obvious that other white looking biracial children are mixed. would you care to explain.

like i said earlier, he should of married tatiana and have babies with her.

I bet if Michael had married someone like Brooke Shields back in the day, he would have had his own biological kids. The fact that he married a surrogate is so strange. People NEVER marry the surrogate mother and Debbie was definetly a surrogate, I mean the children didn't know her as their mother. There had to be a specific legal reason why he had to marry Debbie, something he probably wouldn't have to do if those children were biologically his.

Paris nose getting wider, you must be seeing things! And as for Prince he ain't got a dainty nose but that is not a black nose neither. As for the lips, well they ain't exactly the fullest lips I have ever seen. I see lots of ordinary white kids with those features. There is nothing black about Prince, not his hair, skin tone or features.

A mixed race kid can have blonde hair, but usually the hair texture will be different from the average white kid. I have seen biracial kids with blue eyes too it ain't that uncommon but yet you can still see their heritage in them. Michael is not mixed race he black, first foremost although he has some admixture along the way, but for him to have two kids, that have no blackness in them at all is quite a big coincidence considering his own history of eliminating his own blackness.

As for Quincy Jones kids, well I suggest you have a look at them when they were young and they looked blacker than Michael's kids.

I wonder if marriage or a true long-term romantic relationship earlier in his life would have grounded him a bit more or was all this just destined.

neither does lionel riches
