I must say I’m surprised no one before me has posted this (though someone probably has and will bring up the link) but Paul Mccartney and wife Heather are separating. I am shocked.  
They’ve been married 4 years and the reason is supposed to be they couldn’t live a normal life with all the media attention.  
Um, Paul had a lot more media attention way back when he married Linda and it didn’t seem to stop them having a normal life. Something stinks.
