Sir Paul McCartney
Filed under: Personally Perez > Anglophilia > Paul McCartneyPerez was lucky enough to be asked to participate in the pre-show and post-show coverage for the Brit Awards and - by far - the highlight of the evening (and 2008) was the following:
Paul McCartney, living legend, walks by Perezzers. Sees him. Stops.
He comes over to us and says, "You're that fella…."
We're dying.
"I've read about you," the former Beatle tells us.
Dead.
"Yeah, I think I've read about you too," we answered back.
Legend!
The entire evening was magical.
Mika opened the show with a medley of his hits, including a surprise duet with Beth Ditto.
Leona Lewis reminded us all why she was able to transcend from reality TV show (the X Factor) to global superstar. Her performance of Bleeding Love was blistering.
Rihanna, Kylie, Amy Winehouse, Kate Nash, Adele: so many of our favorites were there.
And, most convenient of all, the best of all the after-parties was at our hotel, where we always stay when we come to London!
The Universal party at The Hempel saw the likes of Kelly Osbourne, The Feeling and Sophie Ellis Bextor, and we got to chat with them all.
Avril Lavigne's midget husband, that dude from that band Sum 41 that had a hit or two forever ago, was there. He ran away from us faster than you can say, "Your wife is a hack!"
Most importantly, we got to celebrate with Mika his win for Breakthrough Artist.
We love London. We love the Brits. We love the British people! We LOVE music!
Congratulations Mika!
NICE, PEREZ! Meet the Beatles! You rule, bro. bigtime.
SHUT UP! oh my thats amazing. i wish i could see him in person!
Carly Smithson is a better singer than Leona Lewis. She cannot sing in mid register, let alone lower register without sounding like she is screeching. It's kind of painful to listen to her most of the time because of this.
Leona sounds like a very screechy, yet pitchy Sinead O'Connor in her performance of Bleeding Love. She only sounds good when she sings ballads. She can't sing upbeats without sounding strained.
YOU ARE SO LUCKY THAT YOU GOT TO MEET PAUL MCCARTNEY! I AM DEAD JEALOUS!!!!!!! :O
YOU ARE SO LUCKY THAT YOU GOT TO MEET PAUL MCCARTNEY! I AM DEAD JEALOUS!!!!!!! :O
dude, you totally stole that from a true Noel Gallagher experience: when he met Paul, the ex Beatle told him: Hey you´re the guy who plays in this band…Oasis, to wich Noel replied: Hey, and you´re the guy from what is the name, the Beatles.
Cheap Shot Perez, not this time…..
I can understand that the guy from sum 41 leaved the show pretty fast xD. And I'm glad that you're a fake fur wearer!
Lucky Bitch ! Well be thankful that ugly Cow Heather Mills did not pop up.
It is so offensive that a bottom-feeding leech like Perez shared the same close airspace as the truly talented legend Paul McCartney.
the term is little person you black hearted fucktard…i can't wait until karma kicks your ass
You are a fucking retard. Is the "we" becasue you take up as much space as two people? You certainly are too much of a waste to be just one person….and I'm sure Sir McCartney gives two shit about who the hell you are.
So Jealous of your London Partying.
Watched the Brits and agree with all of your stuff. Some dumb-asses got awards..(think ARCTIC MONKEYS)…. Keep It Going…PEREZ
PEREZ, Y DO U NEVER MENTION TAKE THAT???? U KNOW THERE IS A REASON Y LEONA WON NOTHING, MIKA WON 1 AND TAKE THAT WON 2 BRITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you realize what happened to you tonight!!!!!!!! You gogt to meet Paul McCartney!!!!!!!! I would kill to be able to speak to him!!!!! You have a lot of influence Perez PLEASE TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!!!!! You have gotten to live one moment of many of most people's dreams!!! Is it really worth cutting people down?!?! or is there somethin much better in store for you?!?!?! At least think about it
Perez, you met Sir Paul and you couldn't form a sentence? He's being kind enough to talk to you and you go dumb? Take me next time, I'll fill in the gaps for you. You totally blew it!
lucky bastards! me wishes I were in LDN.
Hey Perez u were ace at the Brits last night - I love the fact that u took some of Leaona's extension hair. I didn't get why u was wearing the dodgy shower cap - but hey each to their own.
The Brits were amazing (as usual) this yr and the Osbournes were fantastic especially Ozzy's introduction for Macca:
"Mr…Sir…Paul McCartney!" - had me in stitches!
thank you for fixing the sum 41 error
i was a big sum 41 fan back in the day
Macca stopping to talk to you is awsome !! He must get a laugh from those "shit for brains" captions on Heather Mills.
Perez you had and done fuck all to do with the Brits.
you got to see paul mccartney?????? fuck youuuuuuu
Congrats!!! Yeah and I'd be speechless-good thing you said that one-liner; I'd be aaah-aaah-aaagh…
DEAD? I'd be like a cockroach, all dead, with Raid sprayed on it, legs up and everything. Lucky bastard!
Typical wimp that Deryck is for running away from you, Perez!
Just be aware that it isn't just because he's married to an attention seeking pop starlet who you have an 'online vendetta' against, but you also appeared in a video for Sum 41's rivals Simple Plan. Read this weeks issue of "Kerrang" magazine and in the interview with Sum 41, they got asked,
"Who would you like to give a fat lip to?" and Deryck replied,
"Simple Plan. There are issues…"
Simple Plan beat Sum 41 in record sales and overall popularity anyways, so jealousy rears it's ugly head!
Perez…you hero! What a legend comment to Sir Paul.
Did you feel like high-fiving yourself after that?
Hey Perez
I'm a huge music nerd too. I'm writing from Toronto , Canada and I really think you should check out Pascale Picard. She's an amazing French-Canadian girl (but sings in English)
She's worth checking out.
Thanks for all of the music tips, I dig your taste.
Oh My God! You're so lucky. I would kill to have Paul even stop and LOOK at me, cherish that moment, Perez, you lucky bastard.
Why do you speak of yourself in the plural????
PEREZ!!!! How dare you NOT comment on how WONDERFUL Amy Winehouse looked and sounded! You could have AT LEAST acknowledged that REHAB really IS WORKING and how quickliy she's bouncing back.
PAUL MCCARTNEY…oh yeah, you're gay. My bad. But PLEASE post some photos of the Winehouse. She really did look good.
now the Brits were fabulous once again. So rock 'n roll compared to all the slick American awards show where all swoon around in fake attires and behave like butter wouldn't mind, while in the meantime they are still at it. With the Brits, what you see is what you get.
Yes Mark Ronson (oh baby) looked absolutely wasted, Amy, sedated, the Arctic were pissed as sailors on leave, Sharon had a go at Vic Reeves for fluffing his line due to intoxication - but what a show!
Once again it has been made very clear: London rocks - I am so proud of my city! And still.. Americans keep believing that us Europeans (and the rest of the world) are so so jealous for not living on their turf.. well.. we ain't… we couldn't be bothered.. we honestly don't care anymore about Bush country.
oh and I forgot.. the old rocker Paul was amazing!
nice!!!XXXXX
I FUCKING LOVE SOPHIE ELLIS!!!!!!!!!!!
That is so awesome! Yay Perez!
Macca, Macca, Macca!
Sigh…
you truly do not deserve to be in the same room as paul mccartney
This british person loves you too gutted i haven't been able to meet on this trip over the water but maybe next time
http://organicapplecidervinegar.info/ We need more pics, though! And the Brits are awesome
OMG!! How Cool!!
Congrats….he probably LOVES your work on his ex 'piece of work'.
Sounds like a blast!
Re: Chichideluxe – I didn't pay billions for propaganda….Bush did.
Don't blame us normal Americans….if you're the fool who had it hit your head for even a second!!!
Now as far as music awards….sounds like it was fun to watch.
Please find a video of Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson performing!!!
Yes Perez! He Is A nice nice man ! Please stop referring to him as stupid on your website. Write whatever you want about heathin Heather! but, leave Paul alone! He's a stand up guy !
I've just watched Perez on This Morning in the UK.
Pretty cool hair. Nice to see you like Leona Lewis.
Paul McCartney's performace was amazing.
Alan Carr: He made me laugh so much. "I'm pissed. I'm pissed. I've just had a straw in Amy's [Winehouse] bee hive" LOL
i cannot believe this is true. paul mccartney even denied that he knew who paris hilton was. he is just too cool. for everything in the world. because he is literally the coolest person that has ever walked the face of this planet. besides john lennon.
I am sooo happy for you. Look what you have done with your life!! I'm a proud mama.
Perez…you lucky thing! Paul and MIKA …..be still my heart. Ok. I wanna be you now. Want to trade places with 40 something mom of four from Pennsylvania? Awww…I didn't think so. *walks away, dejected….*
Good for you, Perez! McCartney comes over to *you!* Rock on.

Perez,
thank you so much for sharing your moment with Sir Paul, with us. I covered my mouth and gasped as i read it. truly alive i felt your excitement as … wow.. just speechless. I am so happy for you that you are doing all this, and thankful that the moments are being shared with us so in a way we can feel them too.
How can you write this and not mention Arctic Monkeys amazing (and druken) acceptance speech?
the brits are a bit of a joke though…take that wins best live performance?? pffttt.
Lucky! I Love Paul and his work as a Beatle and Solo. You're so lucky, you'll treasure that moment for the rest of your life. If you met him….heck maybe oneday I'll be lucky enough I can only wish though…..
PEREZ!! Again you bypass TAKE THAT! May I remind you that they did win 2 Brits.
Were you at a different Brit Awards, on a different planet or even a different dimension.
Get over it!! You may not like them, but plenty do, so they do warrant some recognition on your site.
Credit where credits due
