That Al Gore. Such a busy guy. Apparently, in between getting nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, stealing the show at the Oscars, and testifying before Congress, he’s found time to heal a former Beatle’s tender heart.

While Heather Mills dances with the stars, soon-to-be-ex hubby Paul McCartney is getting hot and heavy with a new squeeze. The beleaguered Beatle has been spotted a lot lately with Sabrina Guinness, of, yes, the Guinness Stout beer empire. Guinness, 52, was spotted recently with McCartney, his daughter Stella and her husband Alasdhair Willis. McCartney told Brit rag the Daily Mail that “I realize everyone wants to see me with a new bird right now and that’s very flattering. We enjoy each other’s company.” The politically progressive McCartney then added that he and Guinness woo each other by talking about “stuff like the environment and Al Gore, things like that.”

Ah, green love.
