If I was working this week, I probably would have written my column on Heather V Paul. But I'm not. But I've still been talking a good bit about it with Tiger and watching the verdict of their divorce on TV.
No doubt, Heather Mills is probably a bit of a cow. The judge seems to think so, and any journalist I've ever spoken to who has had dealings with her has said she's a pain (to say the least). And of course, everyone else in the world seems to have a strong - negative - opinion of Millsy. "Bitch, whore, weapon, total psycho, nutjob, fucking cow, geebag," are just some of the insults used to describe her. And that's only coming from Tiger in the last five minutes.
BUT. Right, BUT. If she is so awful, then isn't Paul McCartney the biggest dumbass in the world for hooking up with her? Joke's on you dude; no pre-nup, marrying the woman whose name seems to have become shorthand for the devil incarnate. IDIOT.
However awful Mills is, surely the stupidity of McCartney outweighs her deviousness?
But you can't say this, because there's McCartney's can-do-no-wrong-national-treasure status. And of course, we shall not even go into the fact that Mills is the woman here, who always gets a rawer public deal; the 'bitch', the evil stepmother, 'haha, she's only got one leg' and the assorted jokes that surround that. And, I guess, that she came after Saint Linda McCartney, and set out to ruin and plunder poor innocent Paul. But if she was such a cow, then WHY DID YOU MARRY HER? Thicko. You reap what you sow, homie.
So I guess now we can add McCartney's union with Mills to stupid things he has done:
1. Letting Michael Jackson buy the rights to Beatles songs
2. Marry Heather Mills
3. Wings
4. ?

The frog chorus........bom bom bom bom bom bom bom etc.
BUT!!
So bad it could actually be good.
Una, really, I expected more from you.
Have you never been hoodwinked by someone pouring on the charm until they got what they want/you where they want you? I think it's quite clear that Macca was missing Linda and reckon Heather knew it too...she bears more than a passing resemblance and it wasn't difficult for her to use her charitable activities to further that impression of a good soul. Having one leg is the least of it... I don't hear the papers going about that too much, more her conduct and total instability. Even the judge said she was lying and manipulative.
She went looking for *£125M* after FOUR years??...that's blatant goldigging.
She ain't nuthin' but a knack.
I have no sympathy for him. He made many stupid decisions out of what, vanity? He can stop pulling the long face and acting the victim. He has plenty more in the bank.
This is hilarious. Paul should have listened to his kids in the first place. I didn't have much respect for him in regards to your brilliant list, but then a thrilling New Yorker profile on him this summer just totally changed the face of Mr. McCarthy.
He's had some serious bluders, Wings and Mills alike. But the man is a genius, composing symphonies despite not ever learning to read music, still composing tunes on his pop's original piano--all overshadowed by his serious GAFFES in Silly Love Songs (puke tune!) and Heather Mills. Durseys.
There's no doubt that the media has actively sought a way to attack Mills since they broke up and it's probably because the British treat McCarthy like he's royalty.
Me, I think he's an annoying prick and I have no sympathy for him... especially considering how obscenely rich he is meaning £25m or £125m is spare change to him.
All that said I don't think his mistake should be used as an reason to refrain from pointing out just how insane, demented and downright money grabbing Mills is.
I don't think there's a victim or hero in this story, I just think there's a twat and a gold-digging psycho. It's just as bias/ignorant/dangerous to pretend there's the former and not the latter, though.
yeah great logic there, why if I married someone and they battered me around it'd be my fault for marrying them.
What a terrible shame you're on holidays. It sounds like just what the world needed... one more pointless column written about a celebrity. And to think that Vincent Browne used to edit the Sunday Tribune. It wouldn't have happened in his day!
I never liked Paul. Really. What cemented him in my mind as a flurting fool was that Freedom song after 9/11. Good jehovah, that was baaaaad.
I think it can be explained by grief over the loss of his life partner and all that goes with it. HE must have been incredibly lonely after her death, considering the life they lived together. It sounds like he convinced himself she was another Linda - and I bet she helped.
I don't think there's any need to feel sorry for him about money, more the fact that on top of his wife's death, this whole travesty seems like an incredibly painful experience that will have turned his remaining years to miserable shit. When I think about the fact that they had a daughter too - !
So like him or not, I don't think there's anything to revel in at all here. It's just a distasteful story with a certain element of tragedy.
Maybe she was super, super nice and normal until she got a ring on her finger?
And Wings were the band that the Beatles *could* have been.
