Alec Baldwin Wants Paul McCartney and 30 Rock to Come Together
Originally posted 09/21/2009 01:20PM
If Alec Baldwin had the authority of power executive Jack Donaghy, his character on 30 Rock, he'd know exactly what his first decision would be for the Emmy-winning outstanding comedy series.
"I want [Paul] McCartney to come on," Baldwin, 51, said backstage at Los Angeles's Nokia Theater during Sunday's Emmy Awards. "We're working on it."
Baldwin's daughter, Ireland, 14, has another idea, however: Robert Pattinson.

Beatrice McCartney Rocks Out to the Beach Boys
Originally posted 08/10/2009 11:20AM
She may be the youngest Beatle scion at age 5, but Paul McCartney's daughter Beatrice enjoys grooving to another legendary 1960s rock band.
"She likes the Beach Boys," Beatrice's mother, Heather Mills, told PEOPLE at Saturday's Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge at Blue Star Jets Field in Bridgehampton, N.Y. Her favorite song to sing? "God Only Knows" from Pet Sounds, the classic Beach Boys album that traditionally dukes it out with the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper for the title of greatest album ever.
"She's always been into music. It's innate," Mills said. "And she's a great dancer."

Simon Cowell Lives Large as Musicians Lose Millions in Downturn
Originally posted 04/24/2009 08:30AM
Ubiquitous talent spotter Simon Cowell has seen his fortune rise as traditional rock stars lose out in the recession.
Cowell, who judges American Idol and the U.K's X Factor and Britain's Got Talent, is seven percent richer than last year, with a net worth of at $175.2 million, according to Ian Coxon, editor of The Sunday Times Rich List.
And he's nearly alone on this one. His rise comes as others fare poorly in the struggling economy.
Ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, 66, holds onto his third-place position in the list of British music millionaires, but his wealth has fallen from $730 million to $642.4 million – a drop of 12 percent. The decrease is attributed to "falling property and share values [that] have wiped $87.6 million off Sir Paul McCartney's fortune," The Sunday Times says.

Nancy Shevell Has Paul McCartney Kids' Hug of Approval
Originally posted 04/09/2009 01:20PM
Paul McCartney's relationship with Nancy Shevell may have been sealed with a hug – only he wasn't the one reaching out.
It was daughter Stella who embraced Shevell, McCartney's girlfriend of more than a year, at the annual Natural Resources Defense Council gala in New York in March. The two linked arms and laughed at the dinner honoring Stella, 37, for her organic skincare line. A fashion insider says "she's thrilled for her father."
After rumors of his children not approving of ex-wife Heather Mills, McCartney is enjoying a distinct change of pace. He met Shevell in the summer of 2007 while staying at the Hamptons, and the two have quietly spent the last year hopping the globe together – being spotted vacationing in Antigua, celebrating at the Grammys in Los Angeles and just spending time together in London.

Paul McCartney Into Romance, Not Running His Mouth
Originally posted 01/28/2009 09:10AM
Paul McCartney may have been through a tumultuous and very public divorce, but he has not lost the ability to let love into his heart.
The former Beatle is now happily dating Nancy Shevell despite admitting he
was in a "dark place" during his split from Heather Mills.
Shevell has been spending time with the former Beatle in London and on a recent vacation in the Caribbean.
And, as rumors (denied to PEOPLE by his rep) rage that he is set to wed for a third
time, he admits he still "likes romance."
"Does anyone like to be alone? Guys like romance. I do anyway," he told Howard Stern in a recent chat.
"Things don't always work out," he added, refusing to indulge Stern's listeners with too many details. "I like the idea of trying to be reasonably dignified and I don't think it helps to really go mouthing off all the time. So in truth what I am trying to say is I don't really talk about that."
