Got To Get Jew Into My Life: Is Paul McCartney Converting For Nancy Shevell?

Paul's yarmukle is currently in the shop getting custom-fitted (AP)

While no one would confuse "McCartney" as a Hebrew name, Sir Paul does seem to have a thing for nice Jewish girls. His first wife, Linda, was a member of the tribe, and apparently Macca had talked about converting after marrying her, but "never got around to it." After a brief stint with shiksa Heather Mills, McCartney has once again fallen for a Jew, current MTA board member Nancy Shevell, whom he married last month. And this time, he's being a real mensch.

National Enquirer is reporting that Macca, who was baptized as a Roman Catholic but was "admittedly never very devout," promised Shevell that he'll convert to Judaism, as she takes religion rather seriously. The two reportedly spent the night before their wedding at Yom Kippur services, and McCartney apparently told his friends he'll be completing his conversion studies next year. Mazel tov, you crazy kids! Let's hope Shevell doesn't turn out to be a real Lady Meshugganah. Remember: All you need is l'chaim.

Does no one care that the source of this information was the National Enquirer, a well known tabloid?

Bill the Butcher

RUTH MADOFF BELONGS IN PRISON NOT ON TV GETTING SYMPATHY FROM WALTERS!

Bill the Butcher

I tried to reply to Elizabro the cross dresser and you fuckin block me? Walters defended the madoffs!

Bill the Butcher

Support Palestine! The fuckin jews caused the war on terror and then made us fight it with one arm tied behind our back.

Phil Rubin

You are a total moron. You love to be ugly and obnoxious hiding yourself on the internet because in real life you are such a loser, a real pos. Spouting off in the ugliest way possible about one of the most sucessful and influential men of the last 50 years may make you feel important, but you're just the same nothing you always were. What a pathetic joke you are.

Where's the Bris gonna be?
"Suddenly, I'm not half the man I use to be"

Scott Spencer

The author of this article certainly doesn't like Jews and obviously holds the very idea of Paul becoming a Jew in absolute contempt.
Why should anyone give a shit if he is Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim or a god damn alien from outer space? He is Sir James Paul McCartney, a Human Being.

Bill the Butcher

But then again as John always said...Paul "Engelbert Humperdinck" McCartney never had any balls to begin with!

Bill the Butcher

Piss off Jean...and don't give me that anti semite crap..when it was all your anti gentile crap that got the ball rolling. Yeah thats right. Funny how we never hear about it from THAT perspective. McCartney is a total phony,,,always has been. A talented tune smith but Lennon was always the honest one. McCartney didn't even invite Julian to the wedding but he brings barbara wawa who spent all of last week telling us how we should all feel sorry for the madoffs?!! Give me a fuckin break! I hope Jesus meets McCartney at the pearly gates wearing a Rolling Stones shirt and kicks him in the fuckin balls and says "thats for recording that piece of garbage pipes of peace album... You're goin to hell just for that!"

ElizaBro

Bill you're not only anti-semitic, you're just generally ignorant, too. Barbara Walters is related to Nancy (Paul's new wife); they've been close since Nancy's mother died. And Paul barely sees Julian.

Lennon was the honest one? Like when he told Rolling Stone in 1970 that he and Paul had stopped collaborating early on in 1962 or 63? It only took Lennon 10 years to admit in another interview that he'd lied about that. Or how about when Lennon claimed he'd written half of Eleanor Rigby? Of course his best buddy Pete Shotten, who was there when Paul brought the song to John, said Lennon's contribution was zilch.

But you can't argue facts with someone wearing blinders. So feel free to keep stewing in your bile.

Bill the Butcher

Elizabro...crossdresser huh?Barbara Walters tried to defend and prop up and create sympathy for the MADOFFS!!! And you wanna talk about blinders? As for Lennon everybody knows that he was more honest in his life and music than McCartney who never wrte a single song that showed us his real self. Lennon wrote boat loads of them.

ElizaBro

She interviewed him. She didn't take sides. And you are clearly a sick sick person.

Bill the Butcher

Excuse me ElizaBro...What are you a cross dresser? Barbara Walters just spent a week actually trying to drum up sympathy for her jew friends the maddoffs! THE MADOFFS! Thats Evil! You wanna talk about blinders?!!! Why would she do that huh Eliza bro? As for Lennon Everybody knows Lennon was more honest over all in his life and in his music than McCartney the phony...who has always been a kiss up. He never wrote a song that show himself to his audience while Lennon wrote boatloads of them. Who are you kidding?

Bill the Butcher

I think if John were alive he'd say 'thats the look on his face when he's kissin jew ass." Macca was the one who went behind the others backs in 1968 and bought up more shares in Northern songs without telling the others. According to Peter Brown who was there that more than any other factor led to the break up. It was the 1st time any of them had "gone behind each others backs" according to John. He'd probably say Paul has always been a finagling jew bastard...he's just now making it official." God I miss John...at least like George he would never turn jew...hey sir shit head...Jesus didn't turn his back on you when he was being beaten and tortured to death by the angry mob. Shame on you...your mother would be so ashamed of you.

"I think if John were alive he'd say 'thats the look on his face when he's kissin jew ass.'"

I think if John were alive he'd say "Get me out of this freaking coffin!"

/yeah, I know he was cremated

ElizaBro

You mean the Peter Brown whose consulting agency represented such classy upstanding citizens as Qaddafi and other terrorists. One slime ball representing another.

Jean

Billy boy! You're one sick puppy. You crammed a lot of hatred into a few sentences. And lots of anti-semitism as well. Cool your heels, my friend.

John C. Randolph

Jealousy is a very ugly emotion. You don't have to be this way: get some professional help.

Jean

We don't need another left wing nutjob as a member of the tribe! We have enough of those already!

Nos Feratu

"Macca" is a pompous egotistical shithead. Does he really believe that he's still a babe magnet because of his nicely salon died hair and his Viagra fortified pillock? Here's a clue, Sir Rock Fossil: The young girls like you for your money. You don't need to marry them, it's all about stoking your pathetic ego.

Bill the Butcher

He really is a pompous egotistical shithead. He had the nerve to insult Bush at the White house after Bush just liberated 25 million people in Iraq and gave then a Democracy. Why didn't he ask Obama why his own kid brother George is still living in a filthy dirt floored Hut/Shack in the worst slum in Nairobi on a $12 a month?

Bill the Butcher

Lol! Well said!

ElizaBro

He's a charming, talented, and handsome man. And his new wife, who by the way is rich herself, is not a "young girl," she' s 51. And if it was all about "stoking his ego," he wouldn't have married her at all. So you're wrong on all counts.

Bill the Butcher

Isn't Chapman up for parole again soon?

Bill the Butcher

That'll explain why the cheap F*ck only invited 30 people to the wedding.

chee1rs

quick rebound from the crazed nut he married previously

ElizaBro

Not that quick. He dumped the nut 5 years ago in 2006 and met Nancy in 2007. Guy is like a duck, he mates for life.

Eggcream

I'd mazal tov for this girl in a second.

"Lady Mashugga"?

Manhattan Hillbilly
