Here's the Scoop....

Paul McCartney is engaged to wed girlfriend Nancy Shevell,
his publicist has confirmed.

The Beatles legend, 68, began dating the American heiress
Nancy, 51, in 2007, a year after ending his marriage to
former model-turned-activist Heather Mills.

They have kept their relationship relatively low-key,
although they stepped out together to attend the annual MET
Gala at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

A report suggested the couple is ready to exchange vows and
now Paul's publicist has confirmed the happy news.

It will be Paul's third trip to the altar. He lost his
beloved first wife, Linda, to breast cancer in 1998 and was
married to Mills for four years before their bitter split in
2006, which saw the star hand over $38.9 million to settle
the divorce.

Now, let's get to the rest of the nooz...

Ciao,

John Walker Dies...

John Walker, one of the founders of the '60s music group the
Walker Brothers, died in his Los Angeles home Saturday after
a battle with liver cancer, it was announced on his Web site.
He was 67.

A songwriter, vocalist and guitarist, John, along with Scott
Engel and Gary Leeds, struck it big with such songs as "Make
It Easy On Yourself," "Love Her," "My Ship Is Comin' In" and =

"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Any More)."

John was born John Maus but started using the name Walker
in his teens, the same time he picked up the guitar.
Althoughno one in the group was related to one another, the
trio called themselves the Walker Brothers when they formed
in 1964.

And while they were all American born, the group traveled
across the Atlantic, where they found success in Britain
during the Beatles' reign. The Walker Brothers eventually
disbanded by the end of the '60s, after having sold an
estimated 23 million albums. John Walker returned to the
States in the '80s.

Gary Walker posted on his Web site: "The three of us had the
most incredible adventure together, all the time not
realising that we were part of pop history in the making. His
music will live on, and therefore so will John."

On John Walker's site, it also said, "He was a beloved
husband, brother, father, grandfather, friend, and artiste."
His cancer was first diagnosed last December, and among his
survivors is his wife, Cynthia.
