Money couldn't buy him love, but it could buy him an Aston Martin. A 1964 Aston Martin DB5 originally owned by former Beatle Paul McCartney sold Wednesday at an auction in London at the hammer price of $496,613. The hammer price is what an auctioned item sells for before any fees or commissions. According to RM Auctions, the Canadian company that held the auction, McCartney ordered the car during the summer of 1964 and owned it for six years. In that time, the Beatle is believed to have put some 40,000 miles on the car, and a 1967 Time magazine profile said "Bachelor Paul" "is a movie addict, loves 'the look of London,' and tools around town in a spiffy blue Aston Martin DB5.

On Monday night, as the storm raged and power flickered and went out in many wind- and water-ravaged areas, Teams Adam and CeeLo were trimmed down to their fighting weight.

Paul McCartney tells interviewer David Frost in a program set to air in November that Yoko Ono did not break up the Beatles, reinforcing the position that John Lennon often took in the years before his death in 1980. “She certainly didn't break the group up, the group was breaking up,” McCartney told Frost in an interview coinciding roughly with the Beatles' 50th anniversary this year. (Ringo Starr joined the band in August 1962, which cemented the lineup that would soon be the focus of the pop music world, and in October 1962 the Fab Four released its first single, “Love Me Do.”)
