Paul McCartney has denied the almost endless speculative stories that he and Bob Dylan might work together.

"No, that’s a newspaper thing," he told the UK Telegraph in an interview late last week. He just said some very complimentary things about me in some interviews and I love him. I think he’s a great poet and writer so I’ve always admired him. I don’t rule it out and I admire him. But we’re not the kind of people who would ring each other up,"

On May 26, we reported exclusively that McCartney's press spokesman had dismissed the reports of the two collaborating as speculation. Internet reports later expanded the rumors to say that Ringo Starr would join with McCartney and Dylan.

Also in the interview, Stella McCartney said the Meat Free Monday campaign is not out to make people vegetarians.

"It’s an environmental conversation, not a vegetarian one. It’s ok to just give up meat for one day. It doesn’t make you a vegetarian if you hate vegetarians. It doesn’t make you a cranky, hemp wearing pot smoker. It’s alright, it’s allowed. It doesn’t make you a kind of the person you don’t want to be. It just means you are doing something positive," she said.
