David Blaine Update
What a total media circus. Blaine is apparently pals with Paul McCartney - who arranged for a late night visit (1am) yesterday. Unfortunately for Paul, his publicist tipped off some media folks and the whole thing turned into an assault-fest as McCartney's security folks wrestled with the photographers - who had been invited.
Turns out Paul's publicist didn't check with him before inviting photogs, and not suprisingly - got himself fired over the whole deal.
"When it transpired what I had done, Paul was then saying to the photographers 'It's not your fault, it's our publicity guy's fault'. Paul was rightfully angry with me and I haven’t spoken to him since. It's now up to him as to whether I am still working for him – that's his call. Last thing he shouted at me was that I was fired. There was a lot of swearing going on."
UPDATE: I should have kept reading before posting because now McCartney says the firing was a joke. Would have been funnier if he'd have said it was an 'illusion'.
