McCartney to serenade Obama's wife?

Sir Paul McCartney has offered to sing Beatles hit 'Michelle' to Barack Obama's wife, who shares the same name.

The serenade would be in celebration of the recent victory at the polls for the US President-elect.

According to The Sun, Sir Paul said: "If I got asked I could sing 'Michelle' to Obama's wife." He was speaking at the launch of his new LP Electric Arguments and used the opportunity to take a pop at reality TV.

"You can't turn on the telly without somebody being judged by four people, whether they are on ice, or on the stage or in the jungle," Sir Paul said.

Although he admitted he "watched it like everybody else", the 66-year-old said televised talent hunts will "never turn out a Bob Dylan". The folk icon was recently named as someone Sir Paul would like to collaborate with.
