Macca To Marry MTA Board Member Girlfriend

We've seen this coming since 2009, but it's official: Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell will marry. The couple—spotted at the Met earlier this week—have been together for four years, and just got engaged. The 51-year-old Shevell's term on the MTA Board will end in June, and we're guessing she won't return.

A source told People it's really happening, there's "a ring and all." (Will the knighted Beatles' big day rival the Royal Wedding?) This is the 68-year-old McCartney's third marriage, and in 2008 he declared: "I just like being in love." Awwww.

Though one skeptic Tweeted, "Paul McCartney to wed MTA Board Member Nancy Shevell. But don't worry, he'll divorce her after he waits 40 minutes for the G Train."

They'd make a fine looking lesbian couple.

Dude, Paul's been a lesbian all his life then. People have been saying he looked girly since he was a teen-ager. Look at the old pictures. But in his prime, from about 1965 to somewhere in the late 90s, god, he was a beautiful, beautiful man.

Do you mean the crew would have thus been billed as John, Paula, George and RIngo? That's just plain outrageous...

No, no, Paula sounds too common. How about: Paulina?

She's 51 so she's not a youngster. She's rich so she's not after his money. She's lovely. And they seem to enjoy each other's company. It's amazing he's brave enough to marry again after the shredding he took last time out. I mean, look at Alec Baldwin, who still seems traumatized by his nasty divorce. I guess Paul really is a hopeless romantic, isn't he?
