Paul McCartney has said he is in talks with Anschutz Entertainment Group, the company who hope to turn the Millennium Dome into a 20,000 capacity venue and entertainments complex, about headlining a star studded opening gig in 2005. Some reports suggest they will offer him up to £1 million to do the show. The company's Timothy Leweike told The Sun: "We have asked Paul to do it and he seemed very keen." Anschutz already promotes shows for McCartney as well as Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera - and they are the company behind that big Celine Dion show in Las Vegas. So whether or not Macca goes for the gig you can probably expect an allstar line up.
