Who's So Vain?

One Name Down, Two To Go

MICK JAGGER? JACK NICHOLSON? JAMES TAYLOR? Well, if you had any of those names in the office pool over who CARLY SIMON was singing about in "You're So Vain," -- you were wrong. At least in the 2nd verse of the song.

Confirming years of speculation, SIMON has revealed the song is about WARREN BEATTY -- but only the second verse, where she sings, “You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive/Well you said that we made such a pretty pair/And that you would never leave...”. 

As for verse one (the yacht guy) and three (the LEAR jet man)? SIMON isn’t revealing that yet. 

SIMON is doing a press tour in support of a memoir, "Boys in the Trees," on sale NOV. 24th). Perhaps a second memoir will be needed to reveal the other two men.
