They were negotiating with Paul McCartney someone else whose name escapes me.
The rights thing is weird. Michael Jackson has rights to one part of the songs and Paul has rights to another part. I'm sure someone around here knows the particulars.
Page down to "Song Catalog".
Yeah, I don't understand the rights thing. Course, in this instance maybe Jackson defaulted on payments? Is that why he is losing the rights?

Yester day we told you that the folks at Girls Gone Wild had contacted Antonella Barba's family in order to offer her $250,000.00 to host just one of their videos.
Today we have learned that the bidding war has begun. TMZ is reporting that SugarDVD, an on-line adult video rental company, has doubled the Girls Gone Wild offer. SugarDVD wants her to be their spokes person. The offer is $500,000.00.
SugarDVD honcho "Jax" told TMZ that he has no problem with a bidding war. He told TMZ "You saw her photos on-line, she's smokin'. We will not lose because of money."
No word yet from Girls Gone Wild.
Also still to be heard from is Playboy Magazine's Hugh Hefner who has expressed an interest in having her pose for the magazine.
And who know's who else. The only thing for sure is that Antonella has a chance to get rich. I think she'll take it.
