Sir Paul is urging all his fans to go meatless every Monday.

Longtime vegetarian and animal rights campaigner Sir Paul McCartney is requesting his native Brits to give up meat for at least one day of the week.

The former Beatles legend alleges United Nations official have declared that eating less meat actually helps to slow climate change. Contactmusic.com reports that McCartney is using this claim to promote vegetarianism and save the world.

He said: “A meat-free Monday is like going to the gym - with the advantage of protecting the planet.”

Neil Diamond will mentor finalists on an upcoming Tuesday episode of American Idol, which airs at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.

In other Diamond developments, the singer has reunited with producer Rick Rubin for a new studio album, Home Before Dark, which is set for a May 6 release. A world concert tour is expected to follow.

Ronald Isley will have to do time in federal prison after all. A three-judge panel upheld his 37-month sentence for tax evasion.

That argument didn’t work. In 2006, Ronald Isley was convicted on five counts of tax evasion and one count of willful failure to file a tax return.

Today is carpet day at the house. We should be ready to move into our new studios in the next 2 weeks. We will have a webcam from the studios when we are “live”. I am pretty much updating the blog from a cardboard box under a freeway bridge right now– sorry updates are slow…

I spent a great couple of days in Las Vegas. Great weather, good fun and yummy food.  But I did not have my laptop so no posts. I need to get Producer Dan up and running soon so he can add his words of wisdom. I did have a chance to see “LOVE” at the Mirage while I was in Vegas. The music was great– the performance was ummm— French.  We will do a full review on the show
