McCartney's Beef With Google

Paul McCartney is upset with Google, while Britain's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan is angry that Ringo Starr wouldn't give his autograph to an old woman.

McCartney ordered Google to remove his mansion in London, England's St. John's Wood district from the Google Street View feature on Google Earth after his security team complained to Google about it.

Anyone could see McCartney's home, which raised privacy and safety concerns for the former Beatle, but a Google spokesperson told the U.K.'s The Sun tabloid that anyone can remove their house from the site by simply clicking a button.

"He was unsettled when he heard Google users could get a 360-degree view of the property," a source told The Sun.

If you think that's sort of ridiculous, let's not forget that Mark David Chapman murdered John Lennon in 1980 outside his New York City home.

Meanwhile, Morgan called Starr "disgusting and selfish" because he wouldn't sign something for an old lady at London's Chelsea Flower Show earlier this week.

"Ringo was always the least talented, ugliest, jammiest member of The Beatles," the former editor of the News Of The World tabloid said, according to a World Entertainment News Network article.

"We can now add the words 'disgusting,' 'selfish,' 'greedy' and 'thoughtless' to the list, too."

Starr told his fans not to send him any more items to sign in the mail last year.
