Good for Paul. Somehow, I feel he really deserves it.
... and what about this?
Paul with David Frost and Norris McWhirter
PAUL ENTERS THE GUINNESS HALL OF FAME
It's well known that Paul is firmly lodged in the Guinness Book of Records as the most successful musician of all time. They even presented him with a rhodium disc in 1979, considering that his vast sales deserved something better than platinum. Then those clever Guinness people came up with the idea of a Hall of Fame, to include only those whose records were unlikely to be beaten in the foreseeable future. To give an idea of how they rate Mr. McCartney, it's interesting to look at the other five people admitted. Billie Jean King's number of Wimbledon titles will take some matching in the strenuous, all-the-year-round conditions of modern tennis. A great British character, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, crossed both the Arctic and the Antarctic within the shortest overall time as part of his circumnavigation of the globe. Vesna Vulovic, a Yugoslavian lady, was making coffee in the rear section of a plane when it exploded at 33,500 feet: the other passengers were killed, but she survived the fall without a parachute. Colonel Joe Kittinger parachuted from 19.47 miles up in a de-pressurized suit, breaking the sound barrier with his body as a test for the first manned American space flight. Last, but hardly least, comes Vernon Craig, possessor of the inexplicable ability to walk on coals heated to 1,500°F. - that's pretty hot, Centigrade fans - without raising so much as a blister.

Each member of the Hall of Fame later received a gold medal. The citation on Paul's reads as follows: "His unparalleled contribution to popular music as a composer and artiste includes 43 one million sellers, 67 gold discs and 'Yesterday', the most recorded song ever written."
^Funny ... It seems that Paul is happy a-gain ... This is what I've read ...
This astonishing exclusive picture was taken as the star took a stroll with friends during a break from his divorce battle with Heather Mills.
At one point Macca dramatically rolled onto the ground, mimicking a down-and-out, and yelled: "This is what she is trying to do to me!"
An insider told us: "Paul was out walking with his mates in Liverpool when he decided to jokingly pose for a picture to show how Heather is trying to destroy him. He was only larking about, but making a point too."
Pals say they're just glad to see the former Beatle laughing and joking again after Heather, 39, backed down and accepted a J29 million ($56 million) cash and property settlement and joint custody of their three-year-old girl Beatrice.
"Paul has been in great spirits since the court hearing," one friend revealed. As his homeless man impression proves.

Will there be an official release of Heather I wonder? Is there a Macca solo period version?
... let's wait for the good side of all this: his new album (surely next year)
