12 celebrities who are the subjects of famous songs

Who better to inspire celebrity musicians than other celebrities' Thanks to high-profile love affairs, or mere cultural fascination, musicians have a knack for weaving stories and tidbits about their fellow performersbe it other musicians, movie stars, models, or politiciansinto their lyrical odes. Sometimes the songs are complementary, sometimes cruel they're cruel. And sometimes the true identity has never been confirmed, but only guessed at by rabidly curious fans. Here's a collection of 12 beloved songs that were (or reportedly were) inspired by celebrities."Hearts and Bones" by Paul Simon / Carrie FisherIn her autobiography "Wishful Drinking," the late, great Carrie Fisher said of former husband Paul Simon, "If you can get Paul Simon to write a song about you, do it. Because he is so brilliant at it." Fisher and Simon married a few months before the release of the song, and the album of the same name it appeared on. Lines like "the bride was contagious" certainly bring to mind the famously eccentric Fisher, and "one and a half wandering Jews" is also a direct reference (Simon is fully Jewish, Fisher is half). "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel / Rosanna ArquetteIt's been long-suspected that Gabriel's famous romance track "In Your Eyes" was written about his former girlfriend,Rosanna Arquette, who he lived with for many years."In Your Eyes" is probably best-known as the song that plays in "Say Anything"when John Cusack holds his boombox above his head for Ione Skye. The director, Cameron Crowe, has said that Arquette convinced Gabriel to let him use it in the film. "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon / Warren BeattyFor decades, the identity of the man in Simon's famously bitter tune was only speculated about. Many thought Mick Jagger was the vanity-obsessed culprit, though Simon has vehemently denied this. Over the years, the singer has revealed that the song is in fact about three men, and in 2015 confirmed that at least one of the verses is about Warren Beatty, whom she had a brief relationship with in the '70s. The identity of the other two is still unknown. See the rest of the story at Business Insider
