Paul McCartney Is Married!

Congratulations, Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell! The former Beatle and the New York businesswoman got married yesterday afternoon at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London. Paul was obviously in a jovial mood as he left their home for the venue, joking with all the photographers assembled outside, saying, “What’s going on? What are you all doing here?” Paul and Nancy have been dating since 2007 and he popped the question earlier this year in May.

Nancy wore an ivory dress and shoes by Paul’s daughter, fashion designer Stella McCartney, who also made the navy suit her Dad wore on the day. A reception was also held at the new couple’s home at St Johns Woods afterwards. How many famous faces attended? Plenty, as expected. Check out the wedding and reception photographs in the gallery below. All you need is love!

Paul McCartney’s Ballet Premiere Draws A Star Studded Crowd

Here at The FAB Life, they don’t come much bigger than one of the original fabs, Paul McCartney! The legend added a new notch to his musical resume last night with the New York City premiere of his ballet composition, Ocean’s Kingdom. It was certainly a family affair, as Paul was joined in Lincoln Center by his fashionista daughter Stella, musician son James, and rumored fiancee Nancy Shevell. But even more stars turned out by the galaxy-load to watch the unveiling of the work for themselves. Sarah Jessica Parker turned up in what appeared to be a lace tablecloth, while the lovely Liv Tyler shown in a see-through black gown. A very trim Alec Baldwin kept things classy in a tux, while Jon Bon Jovi and Little Stevie Van Zandt kept the rock ‘n’ roll flag flying high. And Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees made an appearance to up the WTF factor. He’s had an opening in his calender since 1969.

On the way to the theater, the-still-pretty-cute Beatle admitted to feeling “quietly confident and nervous” about how his work would go down with the crowd of famous faces. “I’d seen the great traditional ballets like Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, but I had a very limited knowledge of ballet,” he told the Press Association. “Since this project I’ve obviously started to take notice.” But don’t except him to pirouette for us anytime soon. “I went to see Giselle recently in London and was bowled over by the sheer athleticism of the dancers,” he said. “The next day I tried to do one of the steps and failed dismally.” Although our idolization of him is so intense, we’d gladly pay big bucks for a show called Paul McCartney Fails At Dancing For Two Hours. Plus it would remind us of our prom. Check out more from last night in the gallery below!

Paul McCartney Engaged To Girlfriend Nancy Shevell

Looks like four years with Heather Mills hasn’t turned Paul McCartney off marriage for good. People reports that the 68-year-old former Beatle is engaged to girlfriend Nancy Shevell, whom he started dating in 2007, while separated from 2nd wife Mills. McCartney was married to first wife Linda for nearly 30 years before her 1998 death, and Shevell, 51, walked hand-in-hand with Paul and his daughter, Mary, 41, at the Orange British Academy Film Awards in February. If the kids love Nancy—Paul had four with Linda and a daughter, 7, with Mills—then we do too!

Denying this kind of news just doesn’t seem like his bag, especially with the pair being increasingly public of late (they just attended the Met Gala together), and a rep for McCartney confirmed the news to CNN. “I just like being in love” is all he’d say about Nancy in 2008, though, so don’t expect him to start tweeting haikus or anything.

Stars Get Their Hipster On At Coachella

Coachella 2011 just ended and as usual, tons of stars were around – both onstage and off – at the music festival. They all wore their best hippie chic gear, as is evident with the likes of Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Vanessa Hudgens (who, we kid you not, wore printed bell-bottoms). Some ladies did represent vintage, like Dita von Teese who looked like a 1940′s pin-up in a sailor hat, and Katy Perry, who went quasi-flapper!

It’s no secret that we have a massive crush on Ian Somerhalder and we’ve resolutely ignored rumors of him and Nina Dobrev dating because IT ISN’T HAPPENING. So him and Nina at Coachella? Casually almost draped over each other? Hanging out with Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger? Just because those two are a couple, doesn’t mean it’s a double date! (Someone hold us while we cry.) For more skinny — quite literally with ladies like Whitney Port and Kate Bosworth — on who was there, check out our gallery below. [Photos: Splash News Online]

The Black Eyed Peas To Win The Super Bowl

peas_superbowl

The results of this year’s Super Bowl are in! No matter which team hits the most home-runs into the net (or however it works), the winner of Super Bowl XLV will be the Black Eyed Peas. The band has just been tapped to play the coveted halftime gig on February 7th at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This is just the highlight of a stellar month for the group, in which they earned an AMA for Best Pop Group and got serious buzz for their upcoming album The Beginning, which comes out tomorrow.

The Peas will be a change of pace for the Super Bowl Sunday crowd, who have been favoring classic rock bands following the fall-out from Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson‘s controversial performance in 2004. We guess they thought it was unlikely for Paul McCartney or Bruce Springsteen to have a “wardrobe malfunction.” But times have changed, and apparently FOX is ready for a dose of Fergie’s humps.

“They could have picked anybody,” will.i.am gushed to Rolling Stone. “They could rock a million and get Cheap Trick. I love me some Cheap Trick, those motherf—ers is dope. But it says something that they picked us.” But it says something that they picked us.” Maybe it says that baby-boomer bands aren’t drawing ratings like they used to, and Gaga was busy. But can we expect a Black Eyed Peas-Cheap Trick duet!? That would be enough awesome to win every Super Bowl until the end of time.

Do Not Look At Paul McCartney’s House, OK?

paul-mccartney

If you want to have a sneaky peek at Sir Paul McCartney’s house in St John’s Wood, North London, well, you can’t, unless you go there yourself. The former Beatle has had his home removed from Google Street View after security fears, leaving a big black square where nosey fans could previously have a look at his hedge and criticize his choice of curtains.

Expect swathes of other over-cautious celebs to follow suit — leaving online black holes all over the chi-chi areas of London, New York and L.A. — and thereby drawing more attention to their roads than ever, where others may not have known famous people lived. Oh dear. [Photo: Splash News Online]

WTF Is Paul McCartney’s GF Wearing?

nancy-shevell-4

It’s nice to see Paul McCartney appears to have found love again after being taken for a ride by ex-wife Heather Mills, but why is his new lady Nancy Shevell wearing these bizarre plastic glitter leggings?!

Nancy sported this odd choice in Reynolds plastic wrap-inspired legwear, which made her stems appear slightly reptilian as the couple attended the Natural Resources Defense Council 11th Annual Forces For Nature benefit in New York City, which honored Paul’s daughter Stella McCartney.

Paul McCartney To Pop The Question To Girlfriend?

If a $50 million divorce from Heather Mills won’t make you commitment phobic, nothing probably will. Although he endured a nasty public split last year, Paul McCartney is reportedly ready to get hitched again to girlfriend Nancy Shevell.

“Nancy and Sir Paul are totally natural together and feel blessed to have found happiness,” a source told UK newspaper The Mirror.

Although Paul recently had to shell out big bucks to his ex-wife, he reportedly won’t have to worry about Nancy wanting him for his dinero.

“Unlike Heather, Nancy is a multimillionaire in her own right and therefore could never be portrayed as being interested in Sir Paul for his money. She is calm, measured, and mature, whereas Heather is fiery and impulsive,” the source says.

This would be the second marriage for Nancy. Her divorce from attorney Bruce Blakeman was finalized last month. Paul would be going into round three; he was married to Linda Eastman for almost thirty years, until her death in 1998, and Heather Mills for four years until they separated in 2006. Third time’s the charm![Source: Hollyscoop; Photo: Getty Images]

Paul McCartney Makes Girlfriend Do The Walk Of Shame

For a multi-millionaire grandfather of six, Paul McCartney sure acts like a fratboy jackass sometimes. According to Splash News Online, the Beatle and his girlfriend, businesswoman Nancy Shevell, drove from his home to a restaurant earlier today. Naturally, paparazzi began piling up outside the eatery. In an apparent attempt avoid a photo op, Macca left by his lonesome in the car. Five minutes later, Shevell stepped out of the restaurant and walked back to Paul’s house. That’s right—she walked back to his place, even having to ring the gate to get back in.

Couldn’t you spot her some cab fare, Sir Paul? Besides, you’ve been dating for over a year—why the heck don’t you want to be seen with her? It was cold out, man! Love me don’t!

EMAs: Bono Ruins Paul McCartney’s Award By Making It All About Him

U2 frontman Bono didn’t do anything to dispel his tedious windbag image by his appearance presenting Sir Paul McCartney with his Ultimate Legend award. After winding his way through the crowd (and my goodness, he really is SHORT), and in an accent owing more to the US than Ireland, he proceeded to annoy the crowds at the beginning of a very, very long speech.

“It’s great to be here in the capital of east Ireland. We Irish claim the Beatles. Listen pals, if it wasn’t for the potato famine, John Paul George and Ringo would come from bubbling Dublin,” he crowed to boos from the Liverpool crowd. Duh!

“This is the man that invented my job,” he bragged. Listen we don’t want to blame Paul McCartney for U2 but you’re making it difficult for us, mate. And he went on so much McCartney was only on for approximately one-eighth of Bono’s stage time. Something’s not right with this picture. … — By Becky Howard (in London)
