STARR'S CHILDHOOD HOUSE REJECTED BY ENGLISH HERITAGE
LATEST: Former BEATLE RINGO STARR's childhood home in Liverpool, England is to be demolished.
The rocker's former house in the city's Madryn Street is all set for the bulldozer after officials at the English Heritage association decided against listing the building as a national treasure.
English Heritage executives argue the home has no real links to the Beatles, because Starr moved out of the property when he was four.
And Starr can't call on his fellow Liverpudlians to save the house - they're still fuming about disparaging comments he made about the city earlier this year (08).
Starr told a British chat show host there was "nothing" he missed about the city.
His comments also prompted protestors to behead a topiary sculpture of the singer.

The Beatles have always been my favorite group and through the years I have always
had tremendous respect for Ringo Starr. But in the past few years I think Ringo's
success has finally gone to his head, and I am to the point where I am actually sick
of hearing Ringo's complaints, ideas, and reading "silly" articles about him. Maybe
it's all because he is old, and what voice he had in the 60's and 70's certainly
has detoriated over the past two decades. Since the Beatles break-up, I was always
the one to defend Ringo's solo career against my friends who never thought he had
a voice and not much talent as a drummer, etc. I bought all his lps, 8-tracks, cassettes,
CDs, attended his concerts if they were within 100 miles of my home at the time,
and now it's like, if he's on tv, I turn it off. He turns me off. Sorry Ringo. Oh,
Happy Birthday Ringo. And yes, you already made a big deal about that too. Now your
childhood house? In closing, since the movie directors, writers, and producers seem
to be running out of ideas and they are creating more spin offs and remakes of bi-gone
movies, you could maybe suggest an idea, huh? How about Caveman 2.
