It only took 43 years, but Carly Simon has said that her infamous 1972 song You're So Vain is, in fact, about Warren Beatty. Well, partially.
The 70-year-old singer told People magazine that she's "confirmed that the second verse is Warren," one of her ex-lovers in the 1970s.
She added that Beatty "thinks the whole thing is about him" – though after years of speculation linking him to the song, that is perhaps not much of a surprise.
