We usually freak out when someone tells us there's a beatle crawling around. But, this weekend, we're going to make an exception.

Paul McCartney -- of The Beatles -- just checked into the Four Seasons in Georgetown, looking as hot as ever.

The superstar will be honored at the Kennedy Center Honors, which takes place this Sunday. We also hear the State Department has a special honor for him as well. That event takes place Saturday afternoon.

Now, this is one "Beatle" we wouldn't kick out of bed.
