Actress Katie Holmes reportedly went out of her way to meet Sir Paul McCartney backstage at one of his recent gigs.
The 31-year-old star got the chance to meet the former Beatles legend following one of his recent gigs in Toronto.
She then asked for an autograph and introduced him to her four-year-old daughter Suri.
A source said to UK newspaper Daily Mirror: “Katie said she was a huge fan and Tom was really disappointed at missing out. She is a vegan and backs a lot of the same campaigns as Sir Paul.
“Little Suri didn’t really understand who he was though.”
Sir Paul McCartney is facing competition from band The Rolling Stones to headline the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics.
Both are vying for the headlining spot at the concert that will launch the London event and after both playing at the American Super Bowl it could be close as to who gets it.
A source said to UK newspaper Daily Star Sunday: “The 2012 Olympics opening ceremony is going to be spectacular. It has to be to kick off the event in great British style.
“Everyone wants to be a part of this historical happening and what is great for us is The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney are interested in playing.
“They both have an outstanding catalogue of hit after hit that everyone across the world knows. The Stones and McCartney can easily carry off something of this magnitude on the world stage.
“We’re looking at the American Super Bowl’s half-time show – which they have played at – as the kind of thing we’re going for with the opening ceremony. It would be great to have both but there can only be one headliner.”
It seems that the whole world has fallen madly in love with ‘Glee’. Even Paul McCartney is said to be a huge fan! You know you’re big when a former member of the Beatles loves you. Creator Ryan Murphy says that the iconic singer is hoping that some of his music will land on the hit series. Paul even went as far as sending Ryan a CD of songs including the Beatles hit ‘Michelle’. Along with the CD, Paul wrote a note saying “I hope you’ll consider some of these songs for Glee.” Ryan said “It was amazing. I thought I was being punked. I was gobsmacked. I grew up with that guy. We are going to do something. I don’t think a whole episode, but we are going to do something.”
Paul McCartney had a Liverpool McDonald’s removed photos of The Beatles from the restaurant. As a long-time vegetarian, the iconic rock star was furious to learn that pictures of the band had been plastered in a McDonald’s in their hometown of Liverpool. Apparently, the singer didn’t want his photo endorsing meat products so the photos have now been removed. However, I think that as long as it isn’t misleading or for an advertisement, businesses should be allowed to put up photos of whomever they want. I just don’t think that it was worth all the fuss if they were just random pictures with nothing related to meat anyway.
