It appears that Paul McCartney can't be without a woman for any length of time. The former Beatle wed Nancy Shevell Sunday at Marylebone Town Hall in central London. Shevell, 51, was wearing a simple white dress designed by McCartney's daughter Stella, from his first marriage to Linda Eastman. Linda and Paul were married in the same town hall in 1969 and were together until she passed away from breast cancer in 1998. McCartney's second marriage, to model Heather Mills, ended in divorce in 2008. Their daughter, Beatrice, served as the flower girl and Paul's younger brother Mike was the best man.

Zsa Zsa Gabor was rushed to the UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center Saturday after running a high fever and losing consciousness.  Antibiotics were administered and Gabor's fever broke and she opened her eyes. Part of the problem Saturday had been a tube that was bleeding in her stomach. That tube was removed on Sunday. Gabor, 94, has been in and out of the hospital since she broke her hip in July 2010, eventually having most of her right leg amputated due to a gangrenous infection in January 2011.

Two more years!  The cast of The Simpsons have agreed to a new two-year deal with 20th Century Fox TV.

salary reduction. The salary cut is reportedly in the range of 30% from the actors’ current paychecks of $440,000 per episode.

Football star, Barry Sanders will be the voice of Monday Night Football for the rest of this season.   He won't be singing, but rather be featured in a video

Tiger Woods, playing at the Frys.comOpen in San Martin (San Mar-teen) California,  was the victim of a brutal wiener attack on Sunday.  A spectator
slipped through the ropes, ran out onto the green and launched a hot dog at the golf legend ... while Tiger was trying to putt. The not surprisingly drunk fan
was hustled immediately off the course and was arrested. Tiger was not injured but missed the 18 foot putt. Woods finished 30th with a seven-under 277 for the weekend.
