Top 20 Paul McCartney Phone Hacking Puns

Paul McCartney is the latest high-profile name to be involved in the phone hacking scandal centered on British tabloids. McCartney confirmed to reporters at Wednesday's Television Critics Association press tour that he had been contacted by authorities about the matter, and that he thought the phone tampering had "been going on for a long time."

McCartney's ex-wife, Heather Mills, claims that a journalist working for the Trinity Mirror, the parent company of The Daily Mirror tabloid, told her in 2001 that her phone had been hacked and voicemail from McCartney had been intercepted.

McCartney and Mills were intensely targeted by the tabloids during their relationship, especially as it started to unravel. McCartney’s voicemails to Mills fueled many stories in multiple papers and the former Beatle said Wednesday, "“I think it’s a horrendous violation of privacy."
