Nancy admits nerves at Macca friendship - Nov 8 2007
The married US millionairess pictured kissing Sir Paul McCartney has said she’s "so nervous".
The former Beatle is enjoying a friendship with lawyer’s wife Nancy Shevell.
The pair have been spotted sharing meals and walks along the beach in the Hamptons, New York, where Macca has a home.
Outside her Manhattan apartment, Nancy said: "I’m so nervous. I don’t want to say anything."
Later, as she emerged to walk her dog last night (Tuesday), she laughed and told photographers: "Wait for the poop shot."
An unnamed store manager in the Hamptons told the New York Daily News: "They usually eat at Nichol’s. It’s not fresh. It’s been going on for a while."
Another unidentified source told People.com: "They have known each other for a while. They are just friends."
At the weekend, Sir Paul, 65, was photographed kissing Nancy goodbye in the front seat of his car after driving the socialite back to her mansion, according to The Sun.
Wealthy Nancy, 47, is vice president of her family’s successful transport firm.
She married Bruce Blakeman, a commissioner of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and a partner in a top New York law firm, in 1984 and they have a teenage son.
But she recently reverted to her maiden name and wasn’t wearing a wedding ring in the pictures.
Yesterday, Mr Blakeman said: "I am legally separated from Nancy. The separation is amicable and mutual."
He said that was the only statement he’d make on the issue.
The Blakemans are understood to have been friends of Macca and his late wife Linda.

"It was windy when they went for a walk on the beach. They walked together but with their hands in their pockets.
"Later Paul dropped Nancy off. As they were saying goodbye, he leaned over and gave her a kiss before she got out."

At the age of 15 he met John Lennon. Together with George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they formed the most successful group in the history of music--the Beatles.
Since the Beatles, Paul has released 21 albums and staged three world tours, while evolving into classical composition, film-making and actively campaigning for ecology and animal rights After the Beatles split up in 1970, Paul embarked on a solo career before forming the group Wings with his wife, American Linda McCartney, which had some success but never to the scale of the Beatles, That has never yet again been seen, (even now)
His solo period during the eighties culminated with charity performances at Live Aid and for The Prince of Wales Trust, leading him to get back on the road again. Since 1990, Paul McCartney has traveled over 800,000 miles in concert through 22 countries, setting, along the way, the Guinness world record for the largest stadium crowd in the history of rock and roll--184,000 in Rio de Janeiro. During the same time, he also established the "MTV Unplugged" vogue and then performed his acoustic show in clubs and pubs around Europe.
In 1991, Paul staged the performance of his first classical work, "The Liverpool Oratorio", which has since been performed in more than 50 cities worldwide. In 1995--the 30th anniversary of his most acclaimed song, "Yesterday"-- Paul’s second classical work, "A Leaf," was performed at a benefit concert he organized for the Royal College of Music at St. James Palace. Paul composed a major orchestral work, commissioned to mark the 100th anniversary of EMI Records.
In recognition of his work for all music, Paul was recently appointed Fellow of the Royal College of Music, the U.K.’s highest musical honour. Aside from his music, Paul McCartney campaigns for Greenpeace, Friends of The Earth and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. He and his wife Linda are the new patrons of the British Vegetarian Society. He is also the chief patron of The Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts, a new school similar to New York’s High School of the Performing Arts, which will open in his hometown in 1996. Paul has also developed his interest in film-making. His first production, "Daumier’s Law," won the top prize in 1992 at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards.
His latest short feature, "Grateful Dead, A Photofilm," will be entered in the London Film Festival at the invitation of the British Film Institute. He was also knighted by the Queen and made a ’Sir’ Paul and Linda had three children between them as well as Linda daughter from a previous marriage, which Paul adopted as his own. Linda died of breast cancer in 1998, she was only 56.
All of their children are a success in their own right Stella McCartney is head designer at Gucci after a very successful stint as head designer for Chloe and daughter Mary is a successful photographer just as her mother Linda was before her.
Three years after the death of his first wife Paul met Heather Mills at a charity event where Mills was raising financial assistance for the Heather Mills Trust, a foundation providing artificial limbs to war victims across the globe. Mills, a former swimsuit model, lost her left leg below the knee in 1993 after being hit by a police motorcyclist.
