Orwellingly Yurz Sez:
There's a rumor going 'round that---much in the same vein as "Can't Buy Me Love"---Heather Mills and Paul McCartney are showing everyone they're letting bygones-be-bygones by writing a new tune they'll record and distribute soon.
The working song title is, "The Fooking You Get for the Fooking You Got."
OY!

Paul and Heather could not agree on a settlement amount. Heather wanted about $251 million, Paul offered about $31.6 million. The judge gave her almost $50 million, much closer to Paul's offer. I bet that could have been settled out of court.
I have no problem with her getting whatever she can, but I'd have a lot more respect for Heather Mills if she hadn't been going around whining and slandering everyone from Paul to the whole British judiciary system as conspiring against her. Including her most recent statements:The judgment included £35,000 ($70,000) a year for the couple's 4-year-old daughter, Beatrice. Mills said she was unhappy with that amount because it isn't enough for school tuition, private security, or first-class airfare.
"He likes her to fly five times a year on holiday," Mills said of McCartney. "It's £17,000 for two people return (round-trip) first class, so that's obviously not meant to happen for her anymore. It's very sad."
According to the court's release, the award includes £600,000 ($1.2 million) a year for Mills and £2.5 million ($5 million) for her to purchase property in London.
. . .
Mills said that as a "litigant in person," or a litigant representing herself, the system worked against her at every turn.
"These people are in a club," she said. "It's like they want to stay together and they don't want to see a litigant in person doing well."
She said the judge did not agree with her on important details, including how long the couple lived together or even McCartney's personal wealth, which she estimated at £800 million ($1.6 billion). She said the judge estimated it to be half of that. |
Yeah, it must be tough to make do on such a pittance.

1) Not going on 5 trips a year is not "very sad." Dying of cancer is sad. Give me a fucking break. 2) It's £17,000 for two round-trip first class tickets... to where, the moon? What the hell costs nearly $30,000 in just travel expenses? Maybe you should skip the champagne and caviar and not fly first class then, Heather. Just a thought. 3) It costs that much for two people. Far from indicating that McCartney doesn't want his child to go on trips, maybe it just means that he wants Mills to pay her own way if she expects to tag along.
This woman is the very definition of a gold digger. She should shut her trap and be happy with more wealth than most of the people who ever lived in the history of the world ever saw or will ever see in their entire lifetimes. It is clear from her comments that she is utterly detached from reality.
