Has Paul McCartney Found A New Woman…In America? And What Does Heather Think?
Though soon-to-be ex Heather Mills is doing her best to make his life miserable by going on an endless barrage of interviews, Sir Paul McCartney is not letting that get in the way of his having a good time. A few days ago, he was photographed kissing Nancy Shevell goodbye after a weekend visit:
Sir Paul, 65, and Ms Shevell had dinner last Friday at an East Hampton sushi restaurant, where they stayed until 3am.
He visited her at home before stopping off at a lingerie store, Top Drawer, to buy gifts. They were seen outside a cinema before dinner.
The next day they were seen again, having breakfast at a café and strolling along the beach near Sir Paul’s home.
According to a source close to Ms Shevell and her husband, she and Sir Paul have known each other for more than 10 years and she was a friend of his first wife, Linda, who died of breast cancer in 1998.
Ms Shevell was diagnosed with breast cancer the year after Linda and the two women fought the disease together.
There is one small hitch, however…Nancy is still hitched. Yes, she is still married, to Bruce Blakeman, a lawyer. However, for his part, he says that the separation is mutual and amicable.
Now this sounds more like what Sir Paul should have been going after all along. A financially secure, strong woman who knows who she is (and who she is not, unlike Heather who seemed to mix herself up with a journalist of the same name). She is a millionairess and president of her own company. Sounds like a good match.
It has been reported that his daughter Beatrice recognized his picture on the front page of the Sun, which was at Heather’s home (remember, this is the paper that Heather asked Britons to boycott buying, which totally explains how it ended up on her coffee table), and it was then that Heather went ballistic and contacted Sir Paul to rip him a new one. However, just a day later, there is a story of Heather giving Sir Paul her “blessing” in pursuing another woman, and has said there is no animosity between them as far as dating other people goes. Considering the original story was in the Sun, you can take that for what it’s worth.
It would seem from Heather’s bizarre antics of late that she is either full of hate and wants revenge, is coming a bit unhinged, or both. Her daughter saw a photo of her daddy kissing another woman? Well…mommy and daddy are getting divorced, and this happens sometimes. It isn’t an ideal situation by any stretch…in a perfect world, marriages stay together, parents love each other, and they always have the best interests of their children at heart when making decisions. Unfortunately, we don’t live in that perfect world, and so we have to do the best we can. You explain the situation as best you can to your children, and you move on…hopefully doing as little damage to the children as possible.
This whole situation is a mess. Heather is coming across as the very thing she says she doesn’t want to be seen as…a harping, unglued, irritating golddigger. Her various interview on both British and US television and newspapers doesn’t bode well for her current divorce settlement, as Sir Paul seems to be basically saying that if there are indeed threats against Heather’s life, then their daughter is better off with him…completely the opposite of what Heather wanted to accomplish.
In my opinion, the best thing for Heather to do right now is sit back and be quiet, as Sir Paul has done, and hammer out any differences in private, with dignity…not only for her sake, but for the sake of her daughter. Sir Paul is a beloved national celebrity in Britain, indeed around the world, and all of this is being dutifully chronicled. Heather worries that her daughter will someday find out how her father treated her, but all Beatrice will someday need to do is Google her mom’s name, and that will be the end of that.
But IÂ somehow get the impression that we’ll be writing about this one for quite a bit longer yet.

Poor Sir Paul, I wonder if he just needs a woman around to adore him or something — like he’s not really used to being on his own (or doesn’t like it — then again who does).
We have a saying in Spanish that goes “mejor estar solo que mal acompanado” which translates into something like “it’s better to be alone than in poor company.”
I guess he’s fallen into a trap that many of us do — for most of his life there was always someone there next to him 24/7 — and then there wasn’t. I always thought that with Heather Mills he was just trying to fill the void in his life left by Linda, and he filled it with whatever was available. Thing is, it didn’t work out too good.
