McCartney, fianc e to wed in London

LONDON

Paul McCartney is set to tie the knot at the venue where he first married more than 40 years ago.

Officials said Friday that the former Beatle and fianc e Nancy Shevell have posted a notice of intention to marry at London’s Marylebone Register Office.

Westminster Council said the notice was posted Wednesday, meaning the couple could marry anytime after Sept. 30. They have a year to have the ceremony.

The document lists the musician under his full name, James Paul McCartney, and describes him as a “business executive.” It gives the couple’s address as McCartney’s London home.

Alison Cathcart, Westminster City Council’s superintendent registrar, said she would be officiating and was “delighted that Paul and Nancy have chosen Marylebone Town Hall for their special day.”

McCartney married his first wife, Linda, at the venue in 1969. She died of cancer in 1998, and he later married Heather Mills. They divorced in 2008.

Fashion designer finds time to rest

NEW YORK

New York’s Fashion Week is so hectic that no one expects to take a moment to breathe. So Donna Karan surprised herself when she actually managed to get a few moments of rest.

“I slept yesterday. I fell asleep during the afternoon, which I have never done. I mean never. I really actually stopped,” the designer said Thursday during her final fashion-week show, where she featured her DKNY resort collection.

Karan says she depends on juicing, yoga and meditation to keep her energy up during fashion week, which actually spans almost two weeks. She says it’s important because for her, the festivities are about more than fashion.
