Paul McCartney to wed for third time!

[Diamondjimi]

Paul McCartney is set to wed for the third time after proposing to his New York businesswoman girlfriend of four years, Nancy Shevell.

http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/769HTQM3TZ92KSSgRDzdbw--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9aW5zZXQ7aD0zOTc7cT04NTt3PTUxMg--/http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/AFP/photo_1304709600673-1-0.jpg

The London-based spokesman for the former Beatle confirmed on Friday that McCartney and Shevell were engaged, but declined to give further details.

"It's true!", said spokesman Stuart Bell, after People magazine broke news of the engagement.

Shevell, 51, who is divorced, and the notoriously private McCartney, 68, are reported to have begun dating about four years ago, following the Fab Four singer's bitter split with second wife, Heather Mills.

They have been seen together frequently at celebrity events and on McCartney's tours, and most recently posed for photos at a gala evening on Monday at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. A photo is displayed prominently on McCartney's official website.

American celebrity magazine Us Weekly reported on Friday that the "Can't Buy Me Love" singer popped the question last weekend "during a romantic candlelit dinner for two."

People magazine said McCartney had given Shevell a ring, although she did not appear to be wearing it when the couple posed on the red carpet at Monday's museum event.

"They have the right chemistry. They're both cool, chilled out and optimistic," People magazine quoted an unidentified source close to Shevell as saying.

McCartney was happily married for 29 years to American photographer Linda Eastman until her death of breast cancer in 1998. He said at the time that he and Linda had spent just 11 nights apart during their marriage.

Ever the romantic, his second marriage just four years later in 2002 to British ex-model Heather Mills took observers by surprise. The relationship quickly turned sour, ending in divorce in 2008 and an acrimonious legal battle over money.

About a year after separating from Mills in 2006, McCartney reportedly met and began dating Shevell, who sits on the board of New York's transportation authority.

Famously tight-lipped about his personal life, McCartney said in 2008 of their relationship, "I just like being in love."

McCartney's partnership with John Lennon in The Beatles in 1960s Britain produced some of the most famous and enduring pop songs of the past 50 years.

Now formally known as Sir Paul McCartney after receiving a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth, he is one of the wealthiest musicians in Britain, with an estimated fortune of 495 million pounds ($811 million), according to Britain's Sunday Times newspaper.

McCartney has five children -- four from his marriage to Linda Eastman, and one from his brief union with Mills. Shevell has a teenage daughter.

What the fuck is this guy thinking???

[sadaist]

Poor Paul. That 1-legged bitch really was a greedy bloodsucker cunt. I hope this new woman loves the dude...or at least likes him a lot. He deserves to have a woman at least be nice to him for Christs sake. But I just don't understand how wealthy famous guys just have to be married. Seems they spend more time going through messy divorces than actually being happily married. You would think after just 1 really nasty divorce that costs millions, these guys would be gun shy. But oddly they can't wait to jump right back in to the whole mess.

If I were rich and/or famous I would go the Kurt Russel-Goldie Hawn route.

Oh well....best of luck Sir Paul.

Poor Paul. That 1-legged bitch really was a greedy bloodsucker cunt.

hahahahhaa! tell us what ya really think mate.....:biggrin:

[Seshmeister]

She's a bit old for him isn't she?

Surely with his money he should be able to get his half plus 7 = 41 year old? :)

[ashstralia]

maybe he really likes him. errrrr i mean her.

[sadaist]

She's a bit old for him isn't she?

:)


He needs to spend a week with Charlie Sheen. Would change his entire outlook on women.

[twonabomber]

Shevell has a teenage daughter.



pics of daughter?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Must be nice to have money to burn....

[Diamondjimi]

Must be nice to have money to burn....

No shit. The guy could wipe his ass with hundred dollar bills for the rest of his life and not even dent his fortune....

[sadaist]

No shit. The guy could wipe his ass with hundred dollar bills for the rest of his life and not even dent his fortune....



A lot of his money is on it's last leg.







:lmao:

[twonabomber]

he should wipe his ass with $100 bills and send them to the ex-wife for her alimony payments.

[Blaze]

It is always nice to hear good news, isn't...
He just keep bopping along like one of his songs.

I am glad for him. He obviously likes to be married.
Maybe, I should go listen to some of his songs for some wisdom of letting things ... I do not know the word.... perhaps bubble along. or would that be shaking the dust off your boots...

He really is a smart man to not letting a bad thing define him, not being what has happen, but what is happening now.

The dude is just great. There is a lot more to it than being a veggie and saying your Kombayas.

Freaking standing ovation for him. I should be so good. Sir Paul indeed!

[Nitro Express]

Sir Paul doesn't wipe his ass with US Dollars. He wipes his ass with British Pound Sterling. Of course this means smearing shit all over the portrait of her majesty the queen which is very disrespectful from one who received knighthood.

[DlocRoth]

I heard he got off pretty lucky with old peg leg Pete.

I heard he only had to give up $49 mil to her.

[chefcraig]

Yep. As Johnny Carson once so astutely observed:
"Why are divorces so expensive? Because they are worth it."

You know what the number 1 cause of divorce is?




















Marriage.

[FORD]

I think Paul's plan here was to find a woman who was already rich, so she wouldn't have any need to steal his money like Hopalong Heather did. Of course if business interest was all that mattered, he should have married Yoko. :biggrin:

[Seshmeister]

Maybe McCartney should look have gone into comedy rather than music judging by the Monty Python people.

John Cleese is 71 but his new girlfriend is 30 years younger.

Terry Jones who is the same age as McCartney has a Swedish girlfriend who he had a kid with a couple of years ago.

She is 41 years younger than him.

[ashstralia]

but they still look like tardy trannies. must be able to cook, and stuff.

[Seshmeister]

He can sure choose them...

Paul McCartney: Murder, the Mob and the new Lady Macca

Last updated at 10:44 PM on 13th May 2011
With her understated elegance, independent fortune, aversion to the limelight and no-nonsense job as the vice-president of a large New Jersey trucking company, Nancy Shevell could not be more different from the previous Lady McCartney.

But appearances can be deceptive — particularly in a city as image-obsessed as New York. For today, the Mail can reveal that the 51-year-old New York businesswoman who has just become engaged to Sir Paul McCartney has an extraordinary history of family drama and tragedy.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/05/13/article-1386907-0BF0D9F000000578-941_468x633.jpg

Not only was her father linked with the Mafia, but her uncle shot himself in the head after his own business — which had links to the Mob — went bankrupt.
If that were not enough, after battling with a serious drug problem for much of his life, Nancy’s only brother died after overdosing on a cocktail of drugs in a Los Angeles hotel room.

Given that Miss Shevell can often be found nowadays sandwiched between the stars on the front row of a Stella McCartney fashion show, she is hardly most people’s idea of a New Jersey haulage operator. As her late brother Jon once observed, she ‘sure doesn’t look like a trucker’, further describing his little sister as a ‘supermodel in a grimy business’.
Her father, Myron ‘Mike’ Shevell, on the other hand, might be described as the quintessential tough East Coast haulage boss — and one who faced allegations of Mob connections at that.

The Shevells have been in trucking since the 1920s, when the Jewish family business transported seafood from the New Jersey coast to New York. Having worked his way up from driving delivery runs, Sir Paul’s future father-in-law started his own business in the 1960s with his brother Daniel.

The firm was based in Elizabeth — the New Jersey town where many of the scenes from the Mafia TV series The Sopranos was filmed.
Within a few years, the pair were running two major haulage companies, one of which had at least one well-known mobster on its payroll. In 1975, U.S. government officials filed fraud charges against the brothers.

The case never went to trial, but they were forced to surrender control of the companies and they later went bankrupt. Daniel’s response was dramatic, to say the least. At just 39, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.

His brother Myron resurfaced in the haulage industry in 1977, taking over a struggling company called New England Motor Freight (NEMF).
He turned the business around and within a decade NEMF was one of the biggest haulage firms on America’s East Coast and Mr Shevell, a hard-headed Republican, used his wealth to fund the political aspirations of Nancy’s then husband, New York lawyer Bruce Blakeman.

Mr Blakeman’s ambitions to run for New York mayor came to nothing. But in 1988, when Nancy was in her late 20s, Mr Shevell found himself accused of using his money for rather more insidious purposes.
Following an investigation by the government’s Organised Crime Strike Force, he was accused of colluding with Vincent Gigante, the head of the Genovese family — one of New York’s five main Mafia clans — to take control of his local branch of the Teamsters trade union, which looks after thousands of blue-collar workers.

Vincent ‘the Chin’ Gigante — his nickname came from the Italian pronunciation of his real name, Vincenzo — was regarded as the most powerful mafioso in the U.S. by the early Nineties. But he later earned another nickname, ‘The Oddfather’, by wandering the streets of Greenwich Village in New York for ten years dressed in pyjamas, dressing gown and slippers, muttering incoherently.
But his mental illness was exposed as a fraud after investigators recorded him lucidly planning Mob operations.

Mob chief: Vincent 'The Chin' Gigante

Mafioso: Anthony 'Fat Tony' Salerno

It was claimed in a racketeering lawsuit that Mr Shevell made pay-offs to the Genovese mobsters in return for a ‘sweetheart’ deal which allowed his company to operate without abiding by union rules.

This particular Teamsters branch was notorious for being the most corrupt in the U.S. Indeed, it was even run by a mobster — Tony Provenzano, a Mafia hitman who was later jailed for murder and extortion. (Provenzano’s predecessor disappeared — it is believed the Mob murdered him and put his body through a tree shredder.)

Through the union, Provenzano had been connected to two even more famous crooks — the corrupt Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa, who disappeared presumed murdered in 1975, and President Nixon, whom the FBI believes benefited from a £600,000 secret cash fund set up by racketeers within the Teamsters.
Provenzano and Nixon even played golf together. It has since emerged that the U.S. Justice Department believed Nixon intended to use the Teamsters’ cash as hush money for the burglars who broke into Democrat Party offices in the Watergate Hotel.

The 1988 lawsuit claimed Mr Shevell ‘cultivated’ an 11-year ‘corrupt relationship’ with Provenzano and a clutch of other mobsters.
They would not look good on a McCartney wedding guest list. The notorious Mafiosi alleged to have been involved with Shevell Snr included Anthony ‘Fat Tony’ Salerno,
Matty ‘The Horse’ Ianniello and Stephen Andretta.

Andretta had, together with Provenzano, been named by the FBI a few years earlier as among those believed to have abducted and murdered Jimmy Hoffa.
Ianniello, who would go on to run the entire Genovese clan after managing its vice operations, was recorded in a wire-tapped conversation suggesting that one of Mr Shevell’s trucking companies, Eastern Freight Ways (which employed Provenzano’s brother, Angelo), was a ‘front’ for the Mob.

‘Yeah, we formed a truck company,’ said Ianniello, referring to Eastern.
The government claimed that Mr Shevell’s ‘aberrant labour practices served as a conspicuously negative example of union corruption within the trucking industry’, and that his company’s racketeering activity with the union ‘tended to exacerbate the extortionate climate of intimidation’.
In the years it was run by Provenzano, drivers and company owners alike were threatened and blackmailed.

Mr Shevell, now 74, later said the lawsuit was settled without any charges of wrongdoing proved against him. However, prosecutors point out that he actually agreed to a deal whereby he was barred for five years from engaging in any union negotiations.

His run-in with the authorities does not appear to have harmed his business excessively in the years that followed. The Shevell Group now owns six trucking companies and employs 5,000 staff. Its business — carrying clothing, nappies, Kleenex tissues and basketballs across the U.S. — is worth more than $400 million a year.

Holiday pair: Sir Paul and Nancy spend New Year's Day on the beach in Mexico

Friends say Nancy Shevell is devoted to her father, particularly following the death of her mother in 1991.
As with Sir Paul — who over the years has had to contend with the early deaths of his mother, his first wife Linda and two fellow Beatles — Nancy has had more than her share of premature bereavements.

The most shattering blow came three years ago when her brother Jon died in the most squalid circumstances.

At 6ft 6in, he had played basketball for his state and professionally in Europe before joining the family company. However, he had a history of drug abuse which saw him spend increasing amounts of time away from his job. It became a compulsion which cost him his life.

On March 3, 2008, the 50-year-old was found dead in his room at the exclusive Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, where he had been staying for two-and-a-half weeks.
The local coroner’s office confirmed to me this week that his death emerged only when members of his family contacted the hotel after becoming alarmed at not hearing from him. Hotel security forced their way into his room and found him lying across the foot of his bed.
Police discovered a vial of cocaine nearby, and a post-mortem report ruled he had died from ‘multi-drug intoxication’. His system contained not only cocaine but five different painkiller and tranquiliser drugs.

The devastating effect of his addiction and untimely death on his sister Nancy is reflected in the charity which she oversees — the Arlene Walters Shevell Endowment Scholarship Fund, which is named after her mother and provides self-help groups for parents with drug-addicted children, and financial support for those undergoing rehabilitation programmes.

In the same month that Nancy was shattered by the loss of her brother, her lover Paul McCartney was hit by the death of Neil Aspinall — his former band’s road manager and chief confidant, who had been dubbed the ‘fifth Beatle’.

Just as McCartney is said to have bonded with John Lennon over their shared experience of losing their mothers early in life, it seems he was drawn to Shevell (who, like Linda, fought a battle against breast cancer in the mid-1990s) by grief over their respective bereavements.

Friends say McCartney — at the time still in the throes of his divorce from Heather Mills — suggested to Nancy they go on holiday to cheer themselves up.

They flew to the Caribbean island of Antigua, where they rented a £6,000-a-night villa. They behaved like a honeymoon couple, kissing and holding hands.

Though the couple have now sustained their romance for four years, and last week announced their engagement, there is no doubt the death of Nancy’s brother has cast a long shadow over her life in recent times.

While McCartney has admitted experimenting with heroin and cocaine in the past, Nancy is thought to be far too wrapped up in her career ever to have been distracted by drugs. She has said her childhood was defined by her father’s business — the little girl even looked forward to the toy trucks he bought her without fail each holiday.

‘I used to line them up in my room, right next to my Barbies,’ she told a local newspaper.
She and her brother used to accompany their father into work at weekends and play in the truck yards while he checked on the family assets.
‘While other kids would go feed ducks in the park, we would go to our father’s truck terminals … every single weekend,’ she said.

Sir Paul has long been drawn to strong women and there's no doubt his third wife-to-be is going to be more than a match for the former Beatle
But if her father’s business was lucrative, he refused to lavish money on his children, something Nancy’s fiancé would no doubt approve of, given that he famously sent his children to state schools.

Though Myron Shevell could no doubt have afforded to pay for a private school and then an Ivy League university, Nancy was sent to the local high school before going on to Arizona State, where she was the only woman to major in transportation.

Although she joined the family business after she graduated, she has recalled how she had to fight for respect in the male-dominated haulage industry.
She claims a group of executives tested her every day during her first year at the family company. Once, she returned fire, questioning why a vice-president was taking someone on during a hiring freeze.

‘He started screaming and yelling at me and threw me out of his office,’ she said.
Then, displaying a steeliness which may have proved as much of a draw for Sir Paul as her beauty, she added: ‘I went right back in and told him I wouldn’t leave the office until I got an answer. I don’t know where he is right now, but I know where I am.’

There is no doubt Paul McCartney has long been drawn to strong women, and there’s no doubt his third wife-to-be — while rich in her own right and a beauty to boot — is going to be more than a match for the former Beatle.

I'm not going to quote because the post was so long, but in regard to the post above mine...

If that woman is 51- holy shit is she looking good!

And Paul looks like he's wearing the worst rug of all time in that pic.

[Mr. Vengeance]

Freaking double post.

Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone !! At least the guy likes woman !!

"Yea thats his own hair.....you play the Bass Guitar for nothing....and"

Ha! This should be a Triple Post!

[Seshmeister]

he should wipe his ass with $100 bills and send them to the ex-wife for her alimony payments.

He's still worth about $770 million.

Basically if he spends a million a week for the rest of his life he's not going to run out.

This thread has the wrong title. It should read:

Paul McCartney To Give Millions To A Woman For the Third Time

Though it would be slightly inaccurate, as he did not have to pay Linda when she died.

What a tragedy. THAT was a true marriage. Such a shame Linda had to go so early.

Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone !! At least the guy likes woman !!

As opposed to the guy who wrote that lyric. :biggrin:

Poor guy is clearly trying to fill that vacant spot in his heart. That wretched 1-legged woman should burn at the stake for what she did to him. Sickening. I just hope this woman at least cares for him...even if she doesn't love him. You don't have to be in love to have some fucking compassion.
