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]
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.

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.

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!
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)
We are so confused about the daily twists and turns in the Guy and Madonna saga, we don’t know who’s the baddy or the goody anymore (hey, we like to have easily identifiable characters in a divorce. Paul McCartney = good, Heather Mills = bad. Christie Brinkley = good. That older bloke who shagged a teenager = bad!). But suffice to say, as more and more stories are deliberately leaked to the press are dug up by Britain’s unscrupulous tabloid papers, it sounds like that marriage was a very miserable place to be.
Witness the latest salvo dished out about Madonna’s control-freakery: a marriage contract specifying amongst others, how often they should do it and what exciting exploits they should get up to on evenings together. …
“It stated that Guy had to ‘work to enrich his wife’s emotional and spiritual wellbeing’ and ordered him to devote several hours a week to reading Kabbalah texts with Madge. It even had instructions on what words Guy should use during rows ‘to resolve conflicts in a constructive way.’ Guy, 40, was instructed never to shout at Madge, 50, but instead look her in the eye and say: ‘I understand that my actions have upset you, please work with me to resolve this.’ The marriage rules said both parties must … ‘not use sex as a stick to beat one another,’” according to The Sun.
Our favorite bit is when they claim Madonna says, ‘Contract, Guy, contract’ whenever he naughtily broke any of the rules. Love it. We can’t wait till this saying hits the streets. …
There’s an old school of thought about celebs, which says the least talented and Z-list they are, the most diva-ish they behave whereas the real, bona fide superstars are actually pretty nice. And that theory’s been born out by the two remaining Beatles, Ringo “Octopus’s Garden” Starr and Sir Paul “Yesterday and about a million other classic tunes” McCartney. Coming just days after Paul won legions of new fans by appearing in hilarious classic spoof Britain’s Got The Pop Factor with comedian Peter Kay (watch the clip after the jump), Ringo showed a total lack of sense of humour by posting a bizarre clip on his website. In it, he commands his fans not to send him any more fanmail, like, EVER. Because he’s too busy.
“I want to tell you, please, after the 20th of October, do not send fan mail to any address that you have. Nothing will be signed after the 20th of October. If that has the date on the envelope it’s going to be tossed.”
“I’m warning you, with peace and love, but I have too much to do, so no more fan mail, thank you, thank you, and no objects to be signed nothing. Peace and love, peace and love.”
“Peace and love” off yourself, Ringo! If he’s got any fans left after this bizarre tirade, we’ll be stunned.
While Heather Mills can’t seem to shut up about her former marriage to Paul McCartney, the former Beatle has stayed mum…until now. McCartney will exorcise his demons on “My Soul,” an acoustic ballad on electronic artist Nitin Sawhney’s October album, London Undersound. Actually, “exorcising” might be too strong a word for the mushy lyrics printed in the Daily Mail: “‘We could climb every mountain, swim through every sea. When the all world is asleep we could set ourselves free.” Zzzz. Isn’t he mad at her for threatening to release his therapy tapes? “I long to know all your secrets, I want to walk through your fire.” Yeesh, guess not. Only the paparazzi seem to inspire any anger. “How could they lie to this world…One soul displaced, one heart erased, feelings defaced, invade our space.” He’s going for grace, I should get off his case, but these lyrics he’s placed make me want to freebase.
