This David Blaine thing just gets more surreal by the day.

Last night, a scuffle apparently occured beneath the dangling, slumbering narcissist between a photographer and former Beatle Paul McCartney. Yes, that's correct: the composer of "Yesterday" and "Hey Jude," the most powerful living influence on Western pop culture, went out at 1am last night, entourage in tow, to watch a guy sleep in a box.

According to the news report, trouble began when a photographer at the site tried to photograph McCartney:

Photographer Kevin Wheal is quoted by the Standard as saying that McCartney and his friends tried to stop him taking pictures.

He added: "One of them said: 'There's no way you're going to take a picture mate.'"

This is outrageous. It's like the most famous musician in the world can't even go to one of the most public areas of one of the world's largest cities to watch a guy hanging over a major river in his underwear urinating through a plastic tube in a plexiglass box in peace anymore.
