Heather Mills' spending spree

Heather Mills has reportedly spent almost half of the £24.3 million divorce settlement she received from Sir Paul McCartney in just seven months.

Heather Mills has spent almost half of her £24.3 million divorce settlement in just seven months.

The 40-year-old former model received the enormous amount after her split from Sir Paul McCartney was finalised in March, and has reportedly since splashed out £10 million on properties and holidays and forked out £500,000 on staff wages.

Heather is so worried about her finances she has even asked Paul to buy her £4 million East Sussex home as she claims she cannot afford to renovate it.

A source said: "Heather has been moaning her money isn't going as far as she thought, but she's just burning her way through it. She reckons she has spent £10 million since the divorce and still doesn't have a finished house to live in."

Heather has reportedly already spent £1 million improving the luxury estate and has even had an outdoor swimming pool installed.

In July, she bought a £2.5 million New York apartment and has spent a further £6 million on other properties.

Heather has also had to settle large bills from her former publicist Michele Elyzabeth - who recently branded her "a calculating, pathological liar and the biggest b***h on the planet" - and divorce lawyers.

The former model has also donated £600,000 of vegetarian food to homeless children in the Bronx.

Heather Mills Breast Milk Ice Cream

Heather Mills believes ice cream should be made from human breast milk.

The 40-year-old former model is backing a campaign by PETA to make dessert company Ben and Jerry’s replace cows’ milk with the controversial substitute to lessen the suffering of animals on factory farms and improve people’s health. Tracy Reiman, PETA executive vice president, explained: “PETA’s request comes after reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting it for 75 per cent of the cows’ milk in the food that he serves. “The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn’t make sense. “So Ben and Jerry’s could do consumers and cows a big favour by making the switch to breast milk.”

Heather has previously urged people to drink rats’ milk to save the planet. The outspoken vegan campaigner said: "Why don't we drink rats' milk, cats' milk or dogs' milk? The startling truth is that animals farmed for meat and dairy are now one of the greatest threats to the planet. "The United Nations issued a shocking report on the environmental damage being done by livestock. I became a vegetarian for health reasons. Then I found out about the awful animal abuse in factory farms and dairy herds and became a vegan. The easiest and most effective way of cutting our contribution is to change our diet and go vegan.”

Meanwhile, Heather is reportedly in trouble with her local council after allegedly starting work on a swimming pool without permission. Planners had visited her £3 million property in Brightling Road, Sussex, to check she had taken down a marquee which had been erected without permission when they noticed the alleged “unauthorised development”. A Rother District Council spokesman said: "The marquee appears to have been dismantled. "Apparently there is a swimming pool and we have invited a planning application for it. This will then be considered in accordance with the normal planning process.

"If an application is not received within the next month then a report will be prepared for the council's planning committee at which time consideration will be given to taking appropriate enforcement action against any unauthorised development."

'Peaceful' Heather Mills

Heather Mills says she is "at peace" following her bitter divorce battle from Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney.

Heather Mills is "at peace" following her bitter divorce battle from Sir Paul McCartney.

The 40-year-old charity campaigner - who received a £24.3 million settlement from the Beatles legend - is attempting to put her troubled year behind her and is concentrating on her charity work.

She said: "I'm in a really good place at the moment. I'm really at peace. I've spent a lot of time healing. It's been a very, very difficult time, the hardest ever, but I now want the chance to focus on charity and continue my work with the causes I really care about.

"It's a new start for me. Everyone has chapters - and some people are lucky enough to have chapters that last for many, many years. You have to appreciate what you have had, learn from it and move on. We've all got our own books, we've all got our own stories."

Heather also revealed her and Paul's four-year-old daughter Beatrice has helped her get through the difficult period.

She added to Britain's Hello magazine: "Beatrice is the light of my life, an absolute joy. I think when you have a child later in life, you appreciate it even more. I think on top of having lost so many - I had six miscarriages and two ectopic pregnancies - you really, really appreciate it.

"I was considering adoption, all sorts of things, nine years ago before I met her father."

Heather Mills' island escape

Heather Mills has begged Sir Richard Branson to let her move to his private Caribbean island so she can "escape the hate" she has experiences since her divorce from Sir Paul McCartney.

Heather Mills has begged Sir Richard Branson to let her move to his private Caribbean island.

The 40-year-old former model claims her life has been made hell since her divorce from Sir Paul McCartney, 66, earlier this year and has pleaded with the business tycoon to be allowed to move to Necker Island, his 74-acre paradise in the British Virgin Islands, in order to "escape the hate".

A source said: "She wants to spend a year there to rest and rebuild her life.

"She has been in touch with Sir Richard and she is confident he will allow her to live there for a while.

"Heather believes she has been subjected to unprecedented levels of hate since her split with Paul. Heather sees Necker as the ideal place to get away."

The island accommodates 28 people and its properties - which cost £25,000 a day to rent - have two private beaches, swimming pools, tennis courts, a personal chef and access to water sports.

It would normally cost a guest £2.2 million to stay on the luxury isle for one year, but Heather - who received a £24.3 million divorce settlement from the former Beatles star - has reportedly boasted the price of the visit is of little importance as she has "double the cash flow" of Paul.

The source added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Heather made a big deal about the money she got from her divorce. She now reckons she has double the cash flow of Paul. She's convinced that his career has stalled while her earnings have rocketed.

"Heather seems quite proud of the fact she's managed to make money off the back of the divorce."

Heather is currently embroiled in a row with charity Adopt-A-Minefield, who claim she has failed to hand over any money to them after she promised to donate "a large majority" of her divorce settlement.

She has also come under fire from her former publicist Michele Elyzabeth, who branded her a "pathological liar".

Michele says she was duped into spreading false stories about Paul and claims Heather bugged his conversations with his daughter Stella.

Heather Mills' charity row

Heather Mills has failed to hand over a multi-million pound charity donation, according to Adopt-A-Minefield sources.

Heather Mills has failed to hand over a multi-million pound charity donation.

The former model vowed to give "a large majority" of her £24.3 million divorce payment from Sir Paul McCartney to the Adopt-A-Minefield organisation, of which she is a patron, but charity sources claim they haven't received anything.

A source said: "They have waited in vain for their millions. She's had plenty of time, but sadly it's yet another untruth by the queen of lies."

Heather made the donation pledge in 2006 during divorce proceedings from the former Beatles star.

She also added in an interview last year: "Around 80 per cent of my money goes to charity."

Meanwhile, Heather's former publicist has branded her a "pathological liar".

Michele Elyzabeth says she was duped into spreading false stories about Paul and claims Heather bugged his conversations with his daughter Stella.

Michele, who quit after working for Heather for four years, told Britain's News of the World newspaper: "She is a calculating pathological liar and the biggest b***h on the planet.

"At one stage we were so close I viewed her as the daughter I never had. Today I think of her as the witch I wish I never met.

"I was foolish and saw her simply as the devoted humanitarian, charity campaigner and protective mother she wanted the world to see. Now I want the public to know who the real Heather Mills is."

The publicist also alleged that Heather only married Paul for his money.

She added: "I have asked myself many times what was Heather's motivation, but it all points to one thing - money.

"She is a gold-digger. I'm certain her marriage to Paul was all about the money. She lied to me about Paul giving her money and experienced how she dodges bills - including my own fees."

Heather and Paul split up in 2006 after four years of marriage. Their divorce was finalised earlier this year.

Heather Mills nags Paul McCartney about daughter's diet

What's left to say about Heather Mills? The former model (yeah, right!) and activist just can't stay out of the limelight. If she's not turning heads (and maybe a few stomachs) with her new red hairstyle, she's bullying Sir Paul McCartney. Isn't this 2008? Didn't he already ditch the deadwood? You might ask and you would be right to. Yes, he might have coughed up £24million to see the back of her, but she's stumbled upon (no pun intended, but if you’re feeling cruel – enjoy) a new way to irritate the hell out of him and it involves their four-year-old daughter Beatrice.

Turns out Heather is so dedicated to being a top mum that she struggles to hand over responsibility of the girl to her ex. Paul has taken his youngest sprog on a special holiday to a five-star hotel Morocco and even on another continent Heather is managing to bust his balls, this time with eight pages of instructions on Beau's dietary needs.

A source told the Mirror: "Paul booked the break for some quality time with Bea. Now he's found out that Heather has been driving the hotel staff mad, faxing both the head chef and manager instructions and recipe suggestions for Bea. Paul is furious. He is perfectly capable of looking after his own daughter - especially after successfully bringing up his other children on vegetarian diets."

Maybe she should go on GMTV and whinge about it, as that really helped the public sympathise with her 'plight'.

Police unimpressed with Heather Mills' 999 addiction

Professional irritant Heather Mills (she doesn't deserve the -McCartney) is in touble with the police. Slapped wrist trouble, though, not cells and gruel trouble. The poor dear is apparently having such a hard time of life as a single mother, trying to make ends meet in a hostile world Dancing With The Stars and whatnot, that she finds herself on the phone to the police at all hours of the day and night.

Having picked up the 999 phone to find Ms Mills on the end one time too many, Police Chief Superintendent Kevin Moore said: "We are duty-bound to respond, but clearly people who make lots of calls to the police run the risk of being treated as the little boy who cried wolf. Officers who have attended previously to find there have been no grounds might not take any claims seriously, and that's the danger we face. We are having to spend a disproportionate amount of time on one particular person."

Heather Mills loves pigs

Apparently Heather MIlls has been filmed breaking into an industrial pig farm as part of her campaign to highlight animal cruelty. It's reported that two weeks ago, Mills lead Viva! (Vegetarian International Voice For Animals!) in a raid of a farm in Somerset. She was filmed saying that the use of farrowing crates was "cages" and "prisons".

Mills is campaigning for the government to put an end to the use of these "prisons", despite them being legally and widely used. Apparently the owner of the pig farm is threatening to take her to court for trespassing and claims that Mills and her team of activists may have brought disease on to his bacon/pork farm. I can totally see Heather's point. I mean, I too, believe that animals should have the most comfortable lives possible ...ya know, right up until we eat them.

Heather Mills needs £10k a day to survive

Whoever said that Heather Mills is a gold-digger is dead wrong. In fact, Heather isn't really even asking for that much money! It's reported that the Heather is simply asking for a reasonable £10k a day, just so the poor, suffering, selfless, woman can "get by". £10k a day just to get by doesn't sound like too much to me. I mean, the girl need to eat, for Pete's sake, and how else is she supposed to be able to afford designer clothing and not work?

After filing a claim and a counter-claim, the estranged couple have appeared in person three times at the High Court in London in the past week. Heather claims that she is willing to settle for a "high-speed" settlement with a minimum cash pay-off of £40million. Again, Heather's asking for a tiny bit of money here, folks. And why shouldn't she get paid as much as Rooney per day? What is she supposed to do? Work for her own money?

Heather Mills can dance, and it makes people mad

Heather Mills has apparently outraged the physically disabled community by dancing on television. Since Heather has joined the US version of Strictly Come Dancing, people claim that if she can dance with such ease, then she should stop using her blue disabled badge to park her Mercedes in designated disabled parking spaces. Kathy Goddon, of the Brighton and Hove Federation of Disabled People, says: "She has mobility and, morally, should refrain from using her blue badge when she doesn't really need to."

Considering that Heather is regularly photographed kicking photographers, and cycling, I can see how Kathy would be a bit upset. But at the same time, sometimes people should really just shut up. Who CARES if Heather gets a better parking space? Really! And considering Heather has ONE LEG perhaps Kathy could use her as a positive example for the community! An example that even if you're a gold digging chick with one leg, you can still ski! You can still dance! You can still ride a bike! But no, just be overly sensitive and touchy instead of looking at the positive. Awesome.

Heather Mills' sister, Fiona Mills, has posted a rather lengthy message to the public on Heather's official website. (Yes, my initial reaction was "Heather Mills has a website?!?", too.) It's a wee bit long, but still worth reading, as it's interesting to hear the Mills speak up.

"Heather does not deserve the hatred that the tabloid press have thrown at her. She is just one of many women getting a divorce. She has committed no crime and has been silent throughout but what good has it done? Heather's not a gold digger, liar or self-publicist for people to tear apart - she's a human being and a mother who has feelings and cares what her daughter will read in the future..."

Heather Mills in "vile" wheelchair farrago

It's not easy being Heather Mills. If it wasn't enough facing media vilification and copping abuse from the Scissor Sisters, now she's having to put up with blatant disrespec' from lowly airport staff.

Today's Mirror reports on Heather's annoyance when the wheelchair she'd booked at Gatwick Airport turned out to be... a wheelchair, rather than a swish electric buggy.

"Have you got it in for me?" she reportedly told staff. "This is vile! Why are you doing this to me? Don't you know I have only one leg? Why are you treating me like this?"

Heather eventually made the journey on foot to her departure gate, although her spokesperson has denied that there was a bust-up over the wheelchair. Heaven knows what would have happened if she'd flown Ryanair, who infamously introduced a charge for wheelchairs...

Heather Mills: Media vilification worse than "having all your limbs chopped off"

Good to see she's got it all in perspective then. Yes, Heather Mills gave her first TV interview yesterday in the US, and took the opportunity to explain just how bad it's been copping several months of media abuse.

"I would rather someone come up and chop all my limbs than go through what I went through," she told an interviewer. "It's a fact because if your limbs are chopped off you get another limb and theres' light at the end of the tunnel. When you're vilified for doing nothing but falling in love with an icon... I'd rather have all of my limbs cut off. That's the God's honest truth."

I think she made her point. Heather also declined to set the record straight on those 1980s escort rumours, and says she's getting nothing but support from the general public. "People want to come up and give me a hug," she says.

Heather Mills is "stuck up" says Scissor Sisters star

All this blathering about the McCartney divorce is all very well, you're probably thinking, but what does the lead singer of the Scissor Sisters think of it? Well, FRET NO MORE, for Jake Shears has passed his verdict in today's Mirror. And he's in Team Macca's corner.

"I found Heather to have her nose really stuck up in the air," he tells the paper. "I met her once with Sir Paul and, honestly, she didn't give me the time of day. You'd expect someone to be a little gracious or just pleasant when you meet them for the first time, but Heather was nothing like that. Then someone must have told her who I was and suddenly it was a completely different situation. She couldn't have been more charming. But by then my mind was made up."

In other words, she may be filthy, but she's not gorgeous.

Kate Moss in Heather Mills hopping-gazelle storm

The Sun is wheeling out the big guns in response to Heather Mills' threat to sue the paper over recent stories. Today it quotes Kate Moss putting the boot in to the erstwhile Lady McCartney, saying that the model is prepared to testify in court refuting Heather's claims that she had to crawl to the toilet at night after Paul objected to her using a bedpan in the bedroom.

"Kate reassured Stella that she knew Heather was a liar because she had seen her hopping around," a 'friend of Kate's' tells the paper. "She said she was ‘jumping around like a f****** gazelle’ and is prepared to swear to it, in court if necessary."

Meanwhile, The Sun is also hot on the tail of how Heather's court documents were leaked to the Press Association last week. The documents were apparently faxed from a newsagent on Drury Lane in London, "a 15-minute walk" from Heather's lawyers' office. That said, it's probably a similar distance form just about every big law firm, media company and PR firm in central London, so that doesn't prove much.

The paper's headline - "Lady Mucca is a bloody LIAR" - should give you some idea of its stance. Those tabloids, they do like to sit on the fence...

Only two million for Heather Mills in McCartney divorce?

Heather Mills is worried she'll only walk away with £2 million from her divorce settlement with Paul McCartney, claims today's Sun. "Heather has demanded £100 million from Paul, but he has not made her any financial offer," a source tells the paper. "She is worried he wants to give her as little as £2million even though Paul is worth close to £1billion. Heather also thinks Macca wants to go to court instead of settling because he believes he will walk away a winner."

However, the paper quotes legal experts as estimating that £20 million is a more realistic settlement, although this doesn't include child maintenance for the couple's daughter Beatrice, if Heather is awarded custody of her.

Paul McCartney / Heather Mills wrangles continue in public

Hmm, I can't help thinking that the only people who stand to win from the increasingly bitter McCartney/Mills divorce are the lawyers, and the tabloids. This week has seen claim and counter-claim splashed on the front pages, including lurid allegations of physical abuse on the part of Sir Paul.

Today's latest 'revelation' is that he's turned to a psychiatrist and his family to cope with the strain of the divorce battle, while Heather's lawyers have launched an inquiry into how their legal documents, which haven't even been submitted to the court yet, ended up on the front pages of tabloid newspapers showing their client in a good light and rubbishing her husband. Funny, that.

Sir Paul Gets Support From Richard & Judy

When Heather Mills realised that her marriage to Sir Paul McCartney was over, she probably expected a custody battle - but not over Richard & Judy. The TV power couple have come down hard on Paul's side and completely cut Heather - who they've had on their teatime TV show countless times - out of their life. And good for them!

Richard has been scathing of Heather in his newspaper column - where he finished with the words "a happy man is a good husband. Linda [Paul's first wife] knew that instinctively. Perhaps Heather should learn it - and Judy is said to have been a shoulder for Paul to cry on, says Closer magazine.

This all makes me think... does Heather Mills have any friends? Anyone at all?

Rag Roundup: Lindsay Lohan's tattoo parlour, Nicole Kidman for Playboy, Diddy and James Blunt get pally, and more!

The McCartneys have unaccountably been pushed off the front pages by proper news this morning, but don't worry, there's still a bunch of celebrity gossip in the inside pages. Lindsay Lohan wants to open a tattoo parlour, Charlize Theron gets a rollicking from her bloke, Playboy want Nicole Kidman to pose nude, and back here in England, the WAGs are still fighting like steely-eyed-blonde-tinted ferrets in a bag to get on TV. No change there then.

I can kinda see why Lindsay Lohan would want to open a tattoo parlour. After all, she's got one herself, she has a bunch of privacy-craving celebrity mates, and perhaps most importantly, it'll give her something to fall back on when the movie career goes south. Sorry, if. I meant if. Really.

Also in Hollywood, the Mirror claims Charlize Theron was reduced to tears in a restaurant before going to see a Radiohead gig with boyfriend Stuart Townsend. No, not because someone told her they wouldn't be playing 'Creep'. The couple allegedly had a huge bust-up because Charlize arrived 45 minutes late for the pre-concert meal. Given the choice between missing pudding or missing the start of Radiohead, I know what I'd do.

The Sun reckons Hugh Hefner is going all-out to convince Nicole Kidman to pose for Playboy magazine. "The vision of her with a cigarette in one hand and her knickers in the other as a delicious French au pair haunts my fantasies," says the randy old goat. "I'd better add that she's a terrific actress."

Today's McCartney divorce story in the Mirror needs no words from me - the introduction speaks for itself. "The sister of Heather Mills' first husband Alfie Karmal last night branded her a scheming manipulator who lures men by twisting the truth about her personality." Is this a pro or anti Heather story? I just can't tell.

In other news, Diddy and James Blunt have formed an unlikely friendship, which appears to revolve around chasing posh English women and arguing over whose music is worse. Former Atomic Kitten singer Liz McClarnon says she's not ready to join the WAGs, despite dating Swansea City striker Lee Trundle. The implication being that she'll only be a proper WAG when she trades up to a Premiership star, or at least someone with a less silly haircut.

Meanwhile, it's getting devious in the race to star in upcoming reality show Footballers' Wives Boutique. Apparently Jermaine Defoe's girlfriend Charlotte Meares is "shelling out a fortune on hair extensions" in an effort to take centre stage. Tsk, hasn't she heard that Victoria Beckham has chopped hers off?

And finally, reality shows may be scraping the bottom of the celebrity bucket, but at least the celebs are honest about it. Channel Five's 'Trust Me, I'm a Holiday Rep' will star chef Nancy Lam ("I need the money") and ex Hearsay singer Noel Sullivan ("I want to prove that I'm a survivor"), as well as teary royal butler Paul Burrell, mentalist DJ Brandon Block, comic Rowland Rivron, "socialite" Emma Jones (i.e. she couldn't bag a footballer in time to get on the Boutique), and "wannabe model" Samantha Rowley.

Heather Mills McCartney Made To Look Stupid ... And Locked Out As Well

We mentioned recently that Heather Mills McCartney was left "glowering with rage" after an unfortunate miscommunication left her locked out of her estranged husband's home yesterday, according to the Mirror.  It seems that Paul, co-writer of such classics as "Yesterday", and such legacy-staining travesties as "Free As A Bird", had changed the locks on the mansion's outer gates, and FORGOTTEN to tell Heather.  There's no other explanation, is there?

A source claimed: "She was horrified to find the gate lock changed. It was a huge mix-up."  Well, indeed.  No doubt Paul was left ashen-faced when he realised his "mistake".  Heather, who had turned up for an arranged visit, sent her security guard over the fence to open the gate from the inside, whereupon Macca's security men called the police, fearing a break-in.  She then requested her chauffeur to drive daughter Beatrice around the block so she wouldn't be upset by the sight of police officers.  Look, somebody's left this stable door open, I'll close it.  Oh NO!  Where's the horse?

Rag Roundup: McCartney divorce rages on, Kate Moss back with Pete Doherty, Pamela Anderson fuels pregnant rumours and more!

No earth-shattering stories in today's UK tabloids, but plenty of gossip on who's seeing who, who's looking rough, and who's stuck outside their millionaire rock husband's mansion raging at the fact that he's changed the locks. The usual stuff, in other words. There's also news that Kate Moss is back with Pete Doherty, Mischa Barton's phone-pest pet, and the shocking news that Survivor haven't been asked to reprise The Eye Of The Tiger for the new Rocky film. So who's got the gig?

It's safe to say that Heather Mills wasn't very happy yesterday. Both the Mirror and the Sun report that she arrived at Paul McCartney's London home for the weekly handover of daughter Bea, only to find that the locks had been changed. When her security guard tried to leap over the wall, the police turned up - cue red faces all round. It's all a big misunderstanding, but the fact that it's splashed all over the papers today will hardly lighten the increasingly public divorce wrangles between the pair.

Meanwhile, the Mirror reports that another high-profile couple are back together (without scaling any walls). Yes, Kate Moss is back with Pete Doherty, and the couple weren't scared who saw it backstage at this weekend's Rhythm Festival in Bedfordshire. ""You've never seen a couple so tactile," an observer tells the paper. "They were kissing passionately and didn't leave each other's side all night."

Some good California goss today in the Sun. Britney Spears cops some criticism for her dodgy shorts'n'top combo while shopping in Malibu, while Pamela Anderson has apparently fuelled rumours that she's up the duff during a radio interview. And finally, Paris Hilton has cleared up those nasty stories that she made a fat profit from the DVD 'One Night In Paris'. "I never received a dime from it, it's just dirty money and he should give it all to some charity for the sexually abused or something."

Back in Blighty, TV presenter Paul O'Grady has been telling all to the Mirror about his most recent heart attack, which is keeping him off the screen. Meanwhile, ex-Boyzone star Shane Lynch has quit Love Island after reading the Bible ('Thou shalt not risk your career by appearing on sinking reality shows'), while Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding is apparently simultaneously dating footballer Paolo Vernazza and TV presenter Steve Jones. Presumably not after reading the Bible.

And finally... Natasha Bedingfield has scooped the hot potato that is the theme tune for the new Rocky movie at the invitation of Sly Stallone himself... Eva Longoria says the second series of Desperate Housewives was amazing (while launching the DVD of the second series of Desperate Housewives)... and Mischa Barton's cat likes to call her friends on the phone: "He hits the redial button and they just hear purring at the other end," she says. "So I have to grab the phone and tell them it's my pussy."

Sunday Rag Roundup: McCartney divorce gets nasty, Big Brother Mikey has plans for Grace, Mischa Barton's new rugby love and more!

A bumper crop of tabloid goodness yesterday, including the first real indications that the Paul McCartney / Heather Mills divorce is going to turn nasty. Meanwhile, Big Brother evictees Mikey and Susie had their 15 pages of fame - Mikey wants to get Grace into bed, and Susie wasn't ever an escort.

Elsewhere, celebs are eagerly diving into new romances, whether it's Mischa Barton with a rugby player, Lily Allen with an indie drummer, or Noel Edmonds with a mystery woman (who doesn't drum or play rugby as far as I'm aware).

Colin Farrell and Bianca Gascoigne are the victims of kiss'n'tells, while there's also news of Jordan's country pile, the England WAGs' World Cup bill, and which former S Club 7 star is hotly tipped to be appearing in the next series of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. Read on for more details.

Sunday's front pages were dominated by Paul McCartney and Heather Mills, with the usual 'sources close to...' telling all about the couple's divorce battle. The News Of The World was firmly in Macca's corner, claiming that he feels betrayed. "As Paul says, all he ever did was love her and now she's playing the victim," said the source. "Heather thinks we're all stupid and she can pull the wool over our eyes."

Meanwhile, the Sunday Mirror wasn't quite rooting for Heather, but its source was in her camp, claiming she was hit by a stern legal letter after her nanny took three half-used bottles of cleaning fluid from his Peasmarsh Estate. "They will stop at nothing to irritate each other, no matter how petty," said the Mirror's source. "Heather was speechless when she got the letter." Readers, this one will run and run.

Happier in love is Big Brother's Mikey Dalton, who was evicted on Friday and is already planning the obligatory 'romps' with fellow ex-housemate Grace Adams-Short. "I definitely want to get her into bed," he told the News Of The World, while the Sunday Mirror reports that Mikey took constant cold showers to cope with his sexual frustration. Nice.

Meanwhile, leathery model Susie Verrico was also evicted on Friday, and was promptly quizzed by the Sunday People on whether she'd ever been an escort, following recent tabloid claims. ""I loved being a stripper but I was NEVER a hooker," she said. Glad that's cleared up then. She also denies that it was a fix when she entered the Big Brother house as the 'Golden Ticket' winner.

Best Kiss'n'Tell of the weekend is movie bad-boy Colin Farrell, who met Woody Allen's au-pair at breakfast, and bedded her three times before lunch. I'm not making this up, really. Unfortunately, she wasn't impressed. "Between the sheets, he is a let-down with only half a baguette in his lunchbox," says 24-year-old Angelique Jerome. "Once he'd got what he fancied - in about 10 seconds flat - he just wanted to go to sleep." Ouch!

Meanwhile, Love Island star Bianca Gascoigne is the victim of a notably un-chivalrous ex-boyfriend, who told the News Of The World about, yes, more romps. There's also a story about a bloke from military TV reality show Bad Lads Army that's notable mainly for heroic punning: 'phwoar hero', 'always has his weapon ready', 'on kinky active service', and even 'thrust deep into enemy territory'. Give that journalist a cold shower medal.

More romantically, The OC star Mischa Barton is apparently scrumming down with an English rugby player, Lily Allen has snared the drummer out of The Rakes, and Noel Edmonds is bouncing back from splitting with his girlfriend by dating an English teacher in Monaco.

Paris Hilton Is Anti-Fur...

If you can whack on your bifocals or enlarge the photo on the left, you'll see that Ms. Paris Hilton is sporting a jacket saying 'Club Sandwiches Not Seals.' Could it be, that the 'winner' of Peta's Worst Dressed 'Sleb list has changed her fur-loving ways? True. Apparently she popped 'round Heather Mills' house one night, where Heather stopped snivelling about Paul long enough to show her videos of dogs being skinned alive for their fur. Paris reportedly vowed on the spot never to wear fur or artificial fur again, as the 'fake fur route wasn't foolproof, because some high-end department stores labeled certain garments "artificial fur" when in fact they were the real deal.' We presume that after their anti-fur discussion Paris gave Heather some useful motherly girly tips on being a single gal in 2006 and how to promote saucy videos and pics to the best of their advantage.

Best Thing Since Sliced Bread: Sir Paul McCartney Joke Courtesy Of Popbitch

Now, I must point out here that I'm not too sure if this is true, or a joke, but whatever it is, damn, it's made me giggle the whole day through. If any of you receive Popbitch's weekly mail-out, you'll surely remember this morning's delightful Paul McCartney joke - 'A journalist interviews Sir Paul McCartney: 'So, Sir Paul, do you think that you will ever go down on one knee again?' Sir Paul: 'I'd prefer it if you called her Heather'.

Crack-tastic! Certainly beats my latest jab at Her One-Leggedness. [Katherine Hannaford]

Heather Mills Late-Night Dash To Assure Paul She Wasn't A Hooker.

Heather Mills is reported to have made a late-night visit to soon-to-be-ex husband Paul McCartney to assure him she was never a (well you know). Following allegations in the NOTW Heather first denied the story to Paul by phone and then visited their London home around midnight.

Sir Paul was said to be "deeply shocked" at the rumours. A friend of Heather's said: "Heather was very distressed but she told him with absolute certainty the allegations are not true."

So, who's telling the truth - Mills or the newspapers? I think a court may soon be deciding that one... [Toni Kelly]

Porn Meltdown for Heather Mills McCartney

Oh dear. If Heather Mills McCartney thought last week's tabloid revelations of her mucky German sex manual were out of the way, this weekend brought even worse. The News of The World splashed with allegations that Heather... (err check it for yourself as we wouldn't dream of writing it) although if you ask me that's still less embarrassing than having written and sung The Frog Chorus.

Meanwhile, the Sunday Mirror tracked down the male model who romped with Heather in 'Die Freuder Der Liebe' (which incidentally our sister blog Bayraider has found for sale on eBay). His view: "She may be a vegetarian now, but she certainly liked her meat and two veg back then..." Ouch!

But the most distressing revelation - also in the Sunday Mirror - is that ITV reality show 'Love Island' has apparently offered Heather £150,000 to appear in its next series. I'm not sure if that's with or without whipped cream though. [Stuart Dredge]

And Still More Heather Mills-McCartney Tabloid Inferno

The Sun have got the bit between their teeth this week when it comes to Heather (or 'Lady Mucca' as they've christened her). Today's transparent attempt to take the story forward involves digging the creator of the Lovers' Guide out of cold-storage to give his condemnation of the 'Die Freuden Der Liebe' book that's had reporters frothing at the mouth. "Maybe they do things differently in Germany," says Robert Page. Yeah, like not stuffing their sexual-advice videos full of ugly beardy men, presumably. Still, The Sun's story features a welcome return for the phrase 'erect manhood', which hasn't been used to describe a penis since the Razzle letters page circa 1985. [Stuart Dredge]

More Heather Mills-McCartney Filth

The FemaleFirst story linked to earlier is a bit coy, given the startling nature of today's tabloid revelations about Lady Macca. Praise be to The Sun then, which as ever is eager to give us the full monty (and body oil, whips, edible underwear...) when it comes to "depraved pornographic clinches". Click on this link for a taster, if you have time in between scouring the shelves of your local secondhand-German-sex-books emporium for copies of 'Die Freuden Der Liebe' . [Stuart Dredge]

Heather Mills in German sex book shocker

Not happy with my news last week that Heather Mills is a one-legged trollop? Well here's some more fuel to light your fire. Allegedly she made a German sex-book back in the days of 1988, titled 'Die Freuden Der Liebe'. And no, that doesn't translate to 'Die evil wench who stole Paul McCartney from me, I could've had a chance with him, you trike', (as I orginally thought), it apparently means 'The Joys of Love.' The explicit photos apparently show her having sex with a German 'musclebound hunk'; rubbing baby oil into him; and her being handcuffed as he undresses her. Yes, you can go have a cold shower now, I've finished. [Katherine Hannaford]

Heather Mills Set To Hobble Down The Catwalk Again

In order to move on from her break-up with Sir Paul McCartney, Heather Mills is returning to the catwalk, albeit one leg less this time 'round. The couple split earlier this month, apparently due to her 'boredom' with the wrinkly crooner. Heather has reportedly been snapped up by the prestigious modelling company Zone, as 'she's guaranteed to attract huge media interest,' a source told the Daily Star. She barely needs the money however, as it is believed Heather could gain anything between £20 million to £200 million in the divorce settlement with McCartney, leading many critics to label her a 'gold digger,' but I'm sure they're not worried - she can hardly chase after them with only one leg. Snap! [Katherine Hannaford]

Sir Paul & Heather McCartney Deny Marriage Crisis.

We told you on Sunday that Sir Paul and Heather McCartney are reported to be going through marriage difficulties. The story appeared in the News of The World and claimed that they were spending a lot of time apart after a series of arguments.

Au contraire, say the McCartneys. Heather has publicly stated: "Paul and I are still very much together", reports new magazine. The reason for the separation - the couple were living 50 miles apart - is supposedly to protect Heather from paps, as she has recently undergone an operation on her amputated leg. "Some people have been trying to get pictures of me in a wheelchair," Heather said. "It's sick." Somehow, I don't think we've heard the last of this one. [Toni Kelly]

Paul McCartney & Heather Mills marriage in trouble.

Paul McCartney and Heather Mills' marriage is said to be on the rocks after a string of huge arguments. The story broke in today's News of the World. The couple, who have been married for four years, are living apart and not even meeting when daughter Beatrice is taken from one house to the other.

There are no divorce rumours, but the vultures are bound to start circuling if the couple don't sort it out soon-ish. NOTW deemed the story big enough to splash with it on their front page. Sadly for Paul, if the couple do divorce, he's set to lose millions; he and Heather never signed a pre-nuptial agreement. Ooops. [Toni Kelly]
