Phil Collins: I don’t like Miami
This celebrity feud du jour is actually a few years old. Fourteen, to be exact. Phil Collins told the U.K’s Sunday Times that he didn’t like Paul McCartney.
Seriously!
Why: Collins told the publication that he approached the Beatle at a party at Buckingham Palace back in 2002 to sign a first edition of “The Beatles” by Hunter Davies.
Collins recounted that McCartney made the Genesis legend feel small telling his then wife, “Oh Heather [Mills], our little Phil is a bit of a Beatles fan.” Collins said he never forgot it. “I thought, ‘You f--k. You f--k.’ ”
Collins also got grumpy about his current hometown, where he owns Jennifer Lopez’s former North Bay Road mansion with his ex wife turned current girlfriend Orianne Collins, a jewelry designer.
“I don’t like Miami particularly,” he told the publication. “I live here because the children are here and I go wherever they go.”
