- 0:06Speaker 1: Paul McCartney has one major issue with the upcoming Beatles biopic,
- 0:10Speaker 1: or biopics, plural. This is the Sam Mendes project with
- 0:13Speaker 1: four movies, one for each Beatle, coming out all at once.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Paul isn't happy with how his height... Is being depicted.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Now he's getting picky. He says Paul Mescal, who's playing him,
- 0:25Speaker 1: appears smaller than Harris Dickinson, who's playing John Lennon, whereas
- 0:29Speaker 1: in reality they were the same height. Now, when I
- 0:31Speaker 1: first saw this story, I figured, I figured his tongue
- 0:34Speaker 1: was firmly in his cheek. But reading a bit further
- 0:36Speaker 1: into it... He's for real. It seems he literally is
- 0:40Speaker 1: fairly peed off about it because he said he was
- 0:42Speaker 1: similarly disappointed when Sam Taylor-Johnson made that 2009 movie Nowhere
- 0:47Speaker 1: Man and the guy playing Paul was shorter than the
- 0:50Speaker 1: guy playing John in that. And back then he contacted
- 0:54Speaker 1: Taylor-Johnson to object and he says her only explanation for
- 0:58Speaker 1: the size disparity was that she was making a movie,
- 1:00Speaker 1: not a documentary. Yeah. Which he said, I wasn't happy
- 1:05Speaker 1: with that explanation. But Paul has a legacy to protect. Oh,
- 1:09Speaker 1: my gosh. And legs that are taller than John's apparently.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Longer legacies. Longer legs, I see. Anywho, there's still a
- 1:16Speaker 1: while to wait for these movies to come out. Maybe
- 1:18Speaker 1: he'll have a growth spurt. They're slated for release in
- 1:21Speaker 1: April 28th. They're ordering platform songs. I'm really surprised that
- 1:25Speaker 1: he's that serious. Anyway. The reason Sean Diddy Coombs was
- 1:29Speaker 1: taken from prison to hospital with a head injury the
- 1:31Speaker 1: other night would appear to have been revealed. There's four
- 1:36Speaker 1: little birdies. Diddy did an injury during a fight with
- 1:39Speaker 1: another infamous inmate, a Jamaican drug lord known as Dudas.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Good Lord. And TMZ or Z. Z. Go with Z.
- 1:48Speaker 1: I'll say it. TMZ. Has learned the fight was over
- 1:52Speaker 1: Diddy getting all the other inmates in trouble. Multiple sources say,
- 1:56Speaker 1: inside the jail, say Diddy and Diddus came to blows
- 2:00Speaker 1: and Diddy got the worst of it at the hands
- 2:03Speaker 1: of Diddus. Suffering a head injury so severe you can't
- 2:06Speaker 1: write this stuff. Prison officials rushed him to an outside
- 2:09Speaker 1: facility for treatment. Word on the street, Russell, is the
- 2:13Speaker 1: fight was over Diddy getting all the inmates in trouble
- 2:16Speaker 1: with his exposure through that NBC news story that led
- 2:18Speaker 1: to cell raids that cost other inmates their contraband mobile phones.
- 2:23Speaker 1: That's what it is. Monty Python star Michael Palin has
- 2:27Speaker 1: had to cancel an upcoming book tour in the UK
- 2:29Speaker 1: after he slipped in the bathroom and broke several ribs. Oh.
- 2:32Speaker 1: 83-year-old Michael says you don't heal like you used to.
- 2:37Speaker 1: So it's going to take him a bit of time.
- 2:38Speaker 1: He says it was a comedy fall with no audience
- 2:40Speaker 1: there to see it. I shall stick to fish slapping
- 2:43Speaker 1: dances from now on. Thankfully, not under the same circumstances
- 2:46Speaker 1: as Diddy. And guess which diva has just been honoured
- 2:50Speaker 1: with her own Barbie doll? Here's a clue. Of course
- 2:56Speaker 1: she has. She's been doing those shows in... Italy and Paris? Yes,
- 3:02Speaker 1: she has. The doll is wearing the long-sleeved navy blue
- 3:06Speaker 1: dress Dion wore while performing My Heart Will Go On
- 3:08Speaker 1: at the 1998 Academy Awards. Her hair is up and
- 3:11Speaker 1: she's wearing the blue necklace inspired by the famous Heart
- 3:14Speaker 1: of the Ocean one from the Titanic movie. Dion says
- 3:18Speaker 1: it is a true honour to join the Barbie legacy
- 3:20Speaker 1: with a doll inspired by one of the most meaningful
- 3:22Speaker 1: moments of her career and She joins Tina Turner and
- 3:26Speaker 1: Mariah Carey in the Dolls for Divas Club. Dolls for Divas? Well, yeah, diva.
- 3:32Speaker 1: I mean, the original meaning of the word diva is
- 3:34Speaker 1: a fantastic female songstress. We use it sometimes to... Well,
- 3:40Speaker 1: the definition has loosened somewhat over the years, hasn't it? Yeah,
- 3:43Speaker 1: we use it in two different ways now. Yes, we do.
- 3:46Speaker 1: I've used it in two ways during this very show report.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Once at the beginning to describe Paul McCartney's... distaste with
- 3:54Speaker 1: his height depiction and once at the end to describe
- 3:57Speaker 1: Celine Dion and that there endeth the lesson.
