I'm not a big fan of Sir Paul McCartney's more recent music (Band on the Run onward) -- a little too insipid for my tastes, but I have the greatest love for his earlier work in the Beatles and for his social philanthropy.
His divorce from Heather Mills is turning very very nasty and I would not wish that on anyone.
From The Sun:
Lady Mucca's war of liesA bit more -- and since Heather is Mucca, Paul is being dubbed Macca:
The McCartney divorce is going to be the most bitter high-profile split since Charles and Diana�s ten years ago.
Heather Mills, dubbed Lady Mucca after The Sun exposed her porno past, has hired the same lawyers used by the late Princess as she battles Macca for his millions.
Although she once claimed she had no interest in the former Beatle�s �800million fortune, ex-hooker Heather went to see top divorce firm Mishcon de Reya this week.
The Monday meeting she had with six of their top legal eagles went on for five hours.
A source close to the 38-year-old ex-model said: "They wanted to go through every minute detail about the marriage and forthcoming divorce."
"Heather now has a month to get her defence in before the divorce takes place."
She has ordered the London-based legal team to fight Sir Paul for an incredible �200million.
Heather now insists she is poverty-stricken, being forced to drive around in battered cars while crashing at her sister�s modest home in Hove, East Sussex, all as a result of Macca�s supposedly heartless actions.The article closes with this thought and these two photographs:
The truth is she owns a �2million beachside mansion in Hove and a �550,000 barn in East Sussex, both courtesy of Sir Paul.
She also drives around in a top-of-the-range Porsche or a flash BMW X5 when she thinks the cameras are not on her.
Over the past two weeks Heather has stepped up her media campaign and has gone into publicity overdrive.
Sources close to her say she has been tipped over the edge because she has realised it will all soon come to an end � she will no longer be Lady McCartney and she fears disappearing into oblivion.
The Sun told on Monday how Macca had frozen their joint account because Heather had been taking out �obscene� amounts of cash.
She bought the barn with Macca�s money �on a whim� and is now telling friends she wants another house in Brighton.
Her team of advisors are known to tip off certain friendly photographers and newspapers about her every move in a bid to ensure positive and sympathetic coverage towards her.
Heather should remember one thing.
She may aspire to be the Queen of Hearts � but all she will ever be is the Queen of Tarts.
