Nice! Ballets are the hot thing right now! (Thanks Darren Aronofsky!)

While attending the BAFTAS on Sunday night, Sir Paul McCartney revealed to sources that for the better part of the last year, he has been working on a score for an original ballet. According to the source, Paul's been working with the "best in the business," setting up shop in New York to work with some high-profiled choreographers. Once the show is completed, it is allegedly his intention to bring the show to Britain, as they apparently have all contracted avian flu Black Swan fever!

When asked about the project outright, Macca stayed fairly coy, but he did confirm that it was happening. He told sources:

"I have been working on a ballet for a while. I'll be making a proper announcement in a few weeks. It's a really exciting project for me."

For everyone else as well! We excited to hear what you have in store for us.

No doubt, it will be incredible! But maybe you shouldn't be so quick to rush off to the West End. Stick to the Lincoln Center for a year! Give us all a chance to bask in the show's beauty first!

Given all the awards that The King's Speech has been nominated for AND won, MAYBE it's good as it is???

Harvey Weinstein doesn't seem to think so, and he's working on a new marketing strategy to clean up profane dialogue from the film, in an effort to bring it down to a PG-13 rating.

The King's Speech director Tom Hooper does not support making any cuts to the film, and we don't blame him in the least!

Here's what Hooper had to say about it:

"I wouldn't support cutting the film in any way. I think we looked at whether it's possible to bleep out the f*cks and stuff, but I'm not going to actually cut that part."

Good for you, Tom! You directed a wonderful film, which is a strong candidate for Best Picture at the Oscars, and it would be absurd for you to have to cut the film at this stage of the game!

To quote the Beatles' immortal words, let it be, Harvey!

Do U think The King's Speech should be cut? Or should it stay as is?

Apparently Paul McCartney forgot what band he used to be in — it was the Beatles not the Beach Boys, Paul!

The former Beatles frontman is currently working on a surf movie with Jack McCoy, an Australian who taught Iggy Pop how to surf and uses underwater jet ski filming techniques to create spectacular ocean visuals.

McCoy spoke about the project at Santa Barbara International Film Fetival:

"Paul happened to have seen [my] film and liked it. The next thing I know I'm flying to London from Sydney to have a two-hour lunch with him. He couldn't have been nicer. We're now in the negotiating stages on another possible collaboration with my surfing footage and Paul's music."

This film idea actually sounds really awesome! We can’t wait to see it come together!

The Beatles are still going strong on iTunes!

The legendary band sold 5 million songs in just under two monhts, breaking iTunes records.

They've also sold more than a million full-length albums since their digital music release on November 16, 2010.

That's crazy!

Looks like American Idol producers have got some inneresting stuff planned for their next season.

The theme to the season is "transparency," and producers are looking to amp up the behind-the-scenes element to the show.

One plan that the Real World Idol team is working on is the possibility of having the Top 12 live together in the Hollywood Hills.

No word yet on exactly how footage from the Big Brother Idol house would be incorporated into the show, but it likely depends on the quality.

Idol producers are also considering taking contestants on a road trip to Vegas, for an integration with Cirque du Soleil's Beatles show Love.

Aside from all those changes, insiders have said that the talent this year is "amazing," which would be a nice change from season nine's less-than-fantastic roster of talent.

What do U think of these proposed changes for season ten of Idol?

Oh, for goodness sake!

What, do people think that being in the presence of his shiz will somehow better their lives?

LOLs!

A toilet that once belonged to the late John Lennon has been auctioned off in Liverpool for the very reasonable price of $14,700!

The Beatles singer reportedly owned the toilet from 1969-1971 before he gave it to a builder and told him to “put flowers in it or something." It then sat in a shed for 40 years before some crazy bought it this past Saturday!

And…yeah. That seems to be that!

We hope that someone is very happy with their ridiculous purchase!
