MCCARTNEY AND DALTREY'S COPYRIGHT

Rock icons Paul McCartney and Roger Daltrey are heading for a win in their ongoing campaign to extend the copyright on old songs. The European Union (EU) proposed today a scheme which will allow ageing musicians and session performers to keep receiving royalties for their music for 95 years. Stars currently lose the rights to their recordings after just 50 years. After that period, performers, producers and record labels are no longer compensated for sales or airplay.
U2 and Sir Cliff Richard have also previously spoken out in support of extending the copyright term. Former Undertones singer Feargal Sharkey, now chief executive of British Music Rights, says, "I am especially pleased that the announcement focuses on the ‘invisible’ members of our industry - the musicians, engineers and session players whose names are hidden away in the liner notes and credits. "It is they, and not just ‘featured’ artists and record labels, who could derive real benefits from this move - and at a time in life when their earning power would be severely diminished." EU governments and the European Parliament still need to rule on the proposal.

He says, "Apparently this lady’s cell phone rang just as I was doing my last speech about my life being meaningful because of panache, and what have you. "As I’m going on, she hears the phone ring; she picks it up and she says, `Yeah, no, I’m still here… He’s lying down. It’s going to be over soon. Yeah, it’s Jennifer. Yeah, Kevin Kline and Jennifer Garner. Yeah, no, he’s dying. I’ll be a couple more minutes. I’ll be there. I’ll be there. Just wait. You can order for me. Yeah. Okay. He’s dead. He’s dead. Oh, the curtain came down. Okay. I’ll be right there.’ "If I had heard that, I would have sped up the whole death thing. It’s annoying as all hell."

JOHN CLEESE DIVORCE COST BIG TIME

Monty Python television star John Cleese will lose his New York City apartment and his plush London home in a bitter divorce battle, according to the actor’s friend Michael Winner. The actor is currently divorcing wife Alyce Faye Eichelberger Cleese. He was forced last May to pay her $150,000 a month in temporary maintenance fees. And it is believed Eichelberger is now demanding two houses, half of Cleese’s earnings since 1992, plus further maintenance dues of $1.8 million per year, claiming she has no money of her own. And film director Winner fears his friend will lose his fortune and all his property. He says, "Until the divorce is settled, she’s on maintenance, plus use of a beach house in Santa Barbara and other properties. Not bad for a 15-year marriage that did not produce any children. "I remembered his wife saying to me during a previous marriage wobble, ‘I’m going to take John for all I can. He won’t know what’s hit him.’ "Well, he does now."
