Stella McCartney Welcomes Baby Girl

England's hot designer and rock royal has a baby girl and is planning a skincare line.

The McCartney clan has a new reason to "Twist and Shout" -- Stella McCartney had a baby girl last Friday. Bailey Linda Olwyn Willis is Sir Paul McCartney's fourth grandchild and the fashion designer's second child with hubby Alasdhair Willis.

Stella, who is a strict vegetarian and whose mother was photographer and animal rights activist Linda McCartney, hasn't been idle since becoming pregnant.

The versatile designer, who created the costumes for Madonna's 2004 "Re-Invention" Tour and also designed a sportswear line for Adidas, opened a 500-square-foot boutique two months ago in London's posh Harvey Nichols department store, and is working on an organic, animal-friendly skincare line called "Care by Stella McCartney," to launch in the spring of 2007.

The skincare line will debut in the U.S. at Sephora stores and online, and will include all-natural moisturizing creams, cleansers and toners and floral waters.

Stella brings Macca joy with baby Linda

Stella McCartney, the daughter of former Beatle Sir Paul, has given birth to a baby girl. And the fashion designer has named her second child after her mother. The 35-year-old fashion designer gave birth to Bailey Linda Olwyn Willis.

The baby's arrival is welcome news for Sir Paul, but will be seen as a slap in the face for his second wife Heather Mills, whom he is divorcing and Stella is said to loathe.

He married Heather only four years after his first wife Linda died from breast cancer in 1998 and his children were said to have been furious about the relationship. Stella and her husband of three years, former magazine publisher Alasdhair Willis, 36, already have a son, Miller, who will be two in February.

Bailey weighed in at 7lb 14oz on Friday. He is the fourth grandchild for Sir Paul.

His 37-year-old photographer daughter Mary has two sons, Arthur, seven, and four-year-old Elliot. They are both older than the former Beatle's youngest child, three-year-old Beatrice Milly, his daughter with Heather.

The latest addition to the McCartney clan was born in the same week Ms Mills represented herself in court in applications to keep Sir Paul out of her home and to gain access to his. She is said to want to reduce her mounting legal bills.

But she is thought to have retained the services of London law firm Mishcon de Reya in the main divorce battle over money and custody of Beatrice.

Ms Mills's final legal bill could be as high as £1 million ($1.9 million), but she is likely to receive at least £20million ($39 million) - and as much as £100 million ($197 million) - in the battle for Sir Paul's estimated fortune of £825 million.

Sir Paul McCartney has become a grandfather for the fourth time, after his daughter Stella gave birth to a baby girl.

Bailey Linda Olwyn Willis is the fashion designer's second child with husband Alasdhair Willis, 36, a former magazine publisher.

Stella McCartney, 35, is an acclaimed designer who received the VH1/Vogue Designer of the Year award in 2000. She is close to her father, and Sir Paul was in the front row at her fashion show in Paris in October.

She is currently working on launching an organic skincare line after winning the Organic Style Woman of the Year Award in New York last year.

Heather Mills constantly carries a spare false leg in her car.

The former model lost her left leg after being run over by a police motorbike in 1993 and has never hid the fact she has to wear a prosthetic limb.

It has now been revealed that Heather - who is currently going through a bitter divorce from estranged husband Sir Paul McCartney - carries a spare leg at all times after her car was photographed with a prosthesis on the back seat.

Heather was recently spotted exercising on a beach without her fake leg, which was placed on the sand next to her.

The 38-year-old blonde has always been happy to speak openly about her amputation, and once even let US talk show host Larry King touch it while being interviewed by him in 2002.

She was once caught without a spare when she lost her false leg during an anti-fur protest at the fashion headquarters of Jennifer Lopez in 2005.

Heather was left limping in agony after her prosthesis came loose when she was ejected from the New York offices of Sweetface by security guards.

The ardent animal rights campaigner had been attempting to show Lopez a video of racoons being skinned alive in China.

The scandalous story with the divorce of world-famous legendary musician, Sir Paul McCartney, seems to be drawing to its end. The 64-year-old former Beatle and his wife, Heather Mills, have come to an extrajudicial agreement. The former spouses agreed that Mills (38-year-old), a former porn star as it recently turned out, would receive 120 million pounds sterling ($235 million) from her former husband. A simple calculation shows that each hour, which McCartney spent with Mills cost the musician $7,000.

When the media reported about McCartney's divorce, the news produced a global sensation. No one wanted to believe in the end of the happy marriage which the kind-hearted English gentleman McCartney was having. The legendary musician had the reputation of a truly faithful man. He spent 30 years living with his first wife Linda who died of cancer. His second marriage with Heather seemed to be a happy family union too: the two had a daughter, were always together, participating in world tours and Greenpeace actions.

As soon as happiness went up in smoke, newspapers started publishing shocking details of Heather Mills's true feelings towards her husband. Sky News quoted Heather who said that Paul McCartney was supposedly drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana and beating her during four years of their marriage. The Sun wrote that Mills was constantly insulting McCartney. To crown it all, reporters found a magazine with explicit photographs of Heather Mills.

The scandal eventually damaged Paul McCartney's health. His daughters - Stella and Mary - convinced the father to end the divorce battle quickly and pay a considerable compensation to his wife.

It has been reported that Heather will be publicly awarded $13 million, most of which she will donate to charity. However, Paul will privately give Heather $158 million, which includes $4 million a year for the divorce settlement and $3 million a year in maintenance for their three-year-old daughter Beatrice. The staggering fee also includes $4 million for their English homes, a $10 million fund for homes in the U.S. and Europe and $3 million towards staff fees and general expenses. McCartney says he has seen a psychiatrist since his marriage broke apart in May.

The former Beatle tells Britain's Radio Times magazine that the process of writing music is therapeutic, but he has also been helped by professional counseling.

Mills McCartney has threatened to sue at least three British newspapers that published disparaging claims about her husband, alleged to have been contained in divorce court papers drawn up on her behalf, the AP reports.

Heather Mills is threatening to sue her former sister-in-law for libel.

Lawyers have sent a warning letter to the sister of Ms Mills's first husband over allegations she made in two newspaper interviews.

Ms Mills's legal firm Mishcon de Reya threatened to proceed with an action for defamation should Dianna Karmal repeat the claims.

But Ms Karmal, sister of Ms Mills's first husband Alfie Karmal, will visit her own lawyers today and may threaten to counter-sue.

Ms Mills, 38, has embarked on a series of legal battles that are costing her a small fortune in the run-up to her divorce from her second husband, Sir Paul McCartney, 64.

The lawyers' bill for the divorce alone is predicted to top £1 million, while she is also suing or threatening to sue several newspapers, including the Evening Standard, for libel.

Last week, the Standard revealed that, in what appears to be a cost-cutting measure, Ms Mills had dispensed with barristers, at up to £15,000 ($29,000) a day, to represent herself in the High Court in a secondary action against Sir Paul.

Ms Karmal received her warning following two interviews in which she accused Ms Mills of being a liar and a fantasist as well as making other accusations - all of which Ms Mills denies.

Sir Paul is accused by Ms Mills of being violent towards her, a claim he denies. If he can show his estranged wife is a liar his hand will be strengthened.

A source close to Ms Karmal told the Standard: "Dianna had the most weird letter. Heather didn't like what she was saying about her.

"But Dianna isn't worried. The letter from Mishcons definitely contains a threat. But Dianna is furious because she is effectively being called a liar. She won't be gagged."

Ms Mills married Mr Karmal in 1989. She left him in 1991 for a ski instructor.

Accounts for Apple Corps, the company that looks after the Fab Four's business activities, have just been filed and they show that the four shareholders Macca, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono, John Lennon's widow, and Olivia Harrison, George's widow - received less money in the year to January 2006 than in the previous 12 months.

The four each received £672,475 ($1.3 million) in fees for their promotional services, compared with £1.2 million ($2.3 million) the year before.

And they each collected "name and likeness payments" of £210,625 ($410,508), up from £98,500 ($191,976) in 2005. By my reckoning, that's nearly half a million pounds each less this year.

The profit-and-loss account also shows a dip in form for the 1960s super group, who are enjoying success this winter with their Love album, a reworking of many of their best-loved hits. Apple had losses of £1.3 million ($2.5 millon), up from a £774,000 ($1.5 million) loss last year. Not their best day, sunshine.

Paul and Linda McCartney's 29-year marriage was one of the strongest in showbiz history.

The couple had three children together, including fashion designer Stella, 35, before Linda died of breast cancer in 1998 aged 56.

Just one year later Paul met ex-glamour model Heather Mills, 38. The couple married in 2002.

Although Linda apparently urged Paul to marry after her death, his children ­ particularly Stella ­ were not thrilled at the prospect of a stepmum.

Paul's children have reportedly berated him for not listening to their warnings about marrying Heather, with whom he is now negotiating a bad-tempered and costly divorce.

McCARTNEY TO GIVE MILLS 'A $235 MILLION DIVORCE PACKAGE'

Sir Paul McCartney will give his estranged wife Heather Mills a $235 million (£120 million) divorce package to safeguard his health, according to a British newspaper.

The News Of The World reports the former Beatle was urged to agree the deal by his daughters Stella and Mary because they are concerned the bitter divorce battle is affecting his well being. The siblings reportedly told their father, "If this goes on, it could kill you. Being happy is more important than money."

The newspaper claims McCartney will publicly give his estranged wife a mere $19.5 million (£10 million), most of which she'll donate to charity. But she'll actually secure an enormous secret package including $5.9 million (£3 million) a year as a divorce settlement, $15.7 million (£8 million) to buy homes in America and Europe, $5.9 million (£3 million) for English accommodation and more than $3.9 million (£2 million) a year for staff and general expenses for the next 15 years.

One of McCartney's aides tells the newspaper, "It's a done deal and Paul is relieved."

Mud-splattered and elegant, one of Britain's Royals takes out an ad

She's already considered the Royal Rebel, with a pierced navel and colorful past. Now Zara Phillips -- granddaughter of the Queen and world-champion equestrian -- is raising eyebrows by appearing in an advertisement.

Phillips, the 25-year-old daughter of Princess Anne, posed for automaker Land Rover -- which is one of her sponsors -- in a white evening gown with a mud-spattered hem. The photograph for the ad was taken by Mary McCartney, daughter of former Beatle Paul McCartney.

The Mail on Sunday, a British newspaper which keeps particularly close tabs on the aristocracy, said in an editorial that "it is hard to get stuffy" about Phillips' choice to appear in an advertisement -- something the Royal Family generally does not do.

"She will get away with it because of who she is, and because she has already shown that if you break the rules with panache, your admirers will outnumber your critics," the Mail said. "As she shows in her new pose, she can even manage to look good splattered with off-road mud."

Aboard her horse Toytown, Phillips took the individual title in the three-day eventing at the World Equestrian Games this summer in Germany. She also helped Britain win a team silver medal in the competition. Phillips, who is 11th in line to the throne, was nominated for the prestigious British Broadcasting Corp. Sports Personality of the Year award, which was to be presented Sunday evening.

The couple, who parted in May after four years of marriage, met in a Central London courtroom last week for the opening exchanges of their bitter divorce battle. A source revealed: "It was a huge moment for them. So many people didn't think it would come to this when they first split, but now they were squaring up to each other in court."

The former Beatle, 64, looked on as Heather represented herself in court.

The one-time model, who lost a leg in 1993 when she was hit by a police motorbike, did not use her legal team from Mishcon de Reya, one of the country's most exclusive law firms.

Her aides claim she represented herself on Wednesday to save up to £15,000 ($30,000) a day in legal fees. But the claim raised eyebrows as Heather is likely to get at least £20million, and possibly as much as £100 million ($197 million), as a pay-off after her split from the music legend, who has a £1billion fortune.

In court she applied to keep Sir Paul, represented by Prince Charles' divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton, out of her home in Hove, East Sussex, and to gain access to his farm nearby.

A source said Heather, 38, was being careful about her legal bills, but Mishcon lawyers were ready to fight her battle for money and custody of the couple's daughter Beatrice, three.

Stella McCartney might be one of the coolest names in fashion but even she can't resist a fun approach to the festive season. The stylish designer has decorated her smart Beverly Hills boutique front with an array of brightly coloured Christmas lights complete with a lit-up Santa and reindeer on the roof.

Shooting stars, candy canes, snowmen and jingle bells also feature in the display which was switched on in a star-studded ceremony on Tuesday night. Rapper Kanye West hosted the event in aid of his charitable foundation's Loop Dreams programme - which provides at-risk kids with musical opportunities.

Clueless actress Alicia Silverstone was among the Tinseltown set getting in the holiday spirit when she met up with some excited youngsters in Santa hats, as was style queen Lindsay Lohan.

McCartney: 2008 to take city beyond The Beatles

Sir Paul McCartney spoke of the impact Capital of Culture status will have on his home city.

The former Beatle said Liverpool always had a lively tradition of culture, but from the 1960s it became known as "the home of The Beatles".

The coveted title will remind people that the city does have a history, Sir Paul said in an interview on Classic FM.

Sir Paul spoke frankly about his thoughts on Liverpool in an interview.

"Liverpool is my town. It's where I was born; it's where I grew up; it's where all my formative memories are," he said.

"Culturally speaking, I suppose you've got to be looking at its history and its architecture. There was quite a good theatrical tradition there. The Philharmonic Hall had a lot of good music.

"You had entertainers coming through at the Empire Theatre and there'd be good classical plays at the Playhouse.

"There was a lively tradition of cultural events. But I think now you know after The Beatles, it's become known really as the home of The Beatles.

"So it's interesting now it's going to be Capital of Culture in 08 because I think that's what that award does for cities - it reminds you that there was a history there.

"I remember thinking 'Glasgow ' capital of culture? - but then you think 'ah wait a minute, there's this, there's this, there's this.' So it reawakens that side of it.

"I love Liverpool, that's all there is to it really. I think at one point because it was a great port, Liverpool people thought they were the coolest people in the UK.

"And I think a lot of them still do."

Naked Heather pics left on tip

Hundreds of family photos of Sir Paul McCartney and estranged wife Heather Mills were found dumped yesterday.

The intimate pictures - taken during happier times before their bitter divorce battle erupted - were discovered in bin bags on waste ground.

One shows Heather, 38, in bed barely covered by a white sheet - with her artificial leg standing on a black stiletto shoe beside the divan. Others show her posing nude and showing off her bump while heavily pregnant.

She is also seen wearing diamond earrings in a bath - and in a pink swimsuit while playing in a whirlpool bath with their three-year-old daughter Beatrice.

Sir Paul was shocked when The Sun revealed the find last night.

He said: "I'm very grateful to the Sun for getting these pictures back to me."

The collection appears to be a McCartney family album taken by the ex-Beatle and his loved ones dating back 30 years. Sir Paul was said to be particularly distressed to learn that touching pictures of his late wife Linda were among those found dumped.

Linda, who died from breast cancer in 1998, is in snaps of a family holiday to Australia and on a cabin cruiser.

The haul also includes one of the last pictures of Paul and Linda out together. Tragic photographer Linda looks pale and frail beside him.

The photographs - packed into cardboard boxes - were found among thousands dumped in bin liners on a patch of London wasteground yesterday.

We immediately alerted Sir Paul and arranged to hand the colour prints to him. The private shots show naked Heather leaning out of a Victorian-style bath wearing only diamond stud-earrings.

She gazes over her shoulder while around seven months' pregnant in a series of snaps.

More than 30 other private pictures show pouting Heather poolside in swimsuit. Four of the dumped pictures are cheeky close-ups of her bum as she sports a skimpy striped thong-style swimsuit.

More pictures show Macca and Heather sitting on a bench in front of India's Taj Mahal.

Other romantic moments include snaps of trips to Venice, America's Grand Canyon and on safari in Africa. Private moments showing Sir Paul's love for little daughter Beatrice were also caught on film.

One set shows the doting dad feeding her with a silver spoon. In another he is bare-chested as he cuddles Bea, who is wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the words: "My Daddy Rocks."

Sir Paul is also pictured astride a grey pony at a riding school with Bea giggling on his lap. Neither are wearing helmets.

Pictures of Bea in the bath and trying on sunglasses as she gets dressed with her mum were also dumped.

The discovery is the latest twist for the warring couple - locked in one of the messiest divorces in showbiz history.

Heather - who is demanding an £80 million ($156 million) divorce - has been accused of leaking papers alleging Sir Paul beat her and his first wife Linda.

He furiously denies the claims. Heather further turned the screw by suggesting she will demand Peasmarsh - Sir Paul's £4 million ($7.8 million), 160-acre estate.

I'm exposing celebs who give miserly tips - so come on down Lady "I'm not a Golddigger" Mucca.

An eagle-eyed Bizarre reader rang to reveal that Heather Mills McCartney once left a tip of just two measly pence.

She turned up for lunch at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant in central London with two pals.

The bill was around £100 ($197) and I'm told the tight-arsed scrounger (oops, I mean generous charity worker) enjoyed star treatment.

A highly placed source at Fifteen told me: "She paid on her credit card, then got some coins out of her handbag.

"Then she started juggling them in her hand as a waitress started to clear the table. She was seated at table 12.

"When the waitress returned, Heather was leaving and a two pence coin had been placed in the middle of the table.

"It appeared to have been put there deliberately."

It's such a negligible amount staff would have been less insulted had she left without tipping at all!

Earlier, hospitable staff even offered free tasters to the ex-porn model who had arrived with a man and a woman.

The incident happened while she was still with Sir Paul McCartney who looks set to lose a sizeable chunk of his huge fortune in their divorce battle.

Staff at Fifteen come from disadvantaged families and are trying to make a better future for themselves. Many have lived on the breadline and come from broken homes.

The source added: "The service Heather received at Fifteen was excellent. Bigger names than her go there but she had no grace at all. She was very cool when approached by staff.

"And I can't believe someone with her wealth could be so mean. A cash tip bonus would have been shared out to the kids working in the kitchen."

Keep your emails and texts coming and I'll expose other mean celebs.

And Mucca, stop mucking about when it comes to tips!

Heather Mills McCartney's kinky boots fetched just £215 ($421) in a charity shoe auction.

The pair of brown stiletto boots once owned by Sir Paul's estranged wife trailed in behind 14 other pairs of star footwear.

David Bowie's white leather ankle boots went for £1,320 ($2,585) while Phil Collins's black and white Puma boots fetched £642 ($1,257).

Stars parted with their shoes to back the fundraising drive by landmine charity Mines Advisory Group.

The auction on eBay raised £9255 ($18,129).

Sir Paul to reveal his love for city

Sir Paul McCartney will tonight pour his heart out about his love for Liverpool, the city where the people are still "cool".

The former Beatle is taking over the airwaves in Classic FM for 24-hours today, and giving listeners his own views of Liverpool in an interview at 6-30pm.

He has enjoyed success as a classical composer most recently with the release of his latest album Ecce Cor Meum.

From midnight, the station will be featuring McCartney's classical works in all of its programmes, with the star guesting alongside other presenters throughout the day.

Between 11am and 1pm, Sir Paul will take over solo presenter duties, giving listeners a selection of his classical favourites in McCartney's Most Wanted between 11am and 1pm.

Sir Paul said: "I'm fulfilling one of my ambitions to present on radio."

A spokeswoman for Classic FM said: "Paul will be giving an insight into the man behind the music. He also exclusively reveals his latest project ­ a guitar concerto which takes him back to his guitar-playing roots."

On Classic Newsnight at 6.30pm, Sir Paul tells John Brunning about his affection for Liverpool, with a special report about the impact of his musical legacy on his home city.

Heather Mills is a 'liar', says Sir Paul McCartney's cousin

The former model, the estranged wife of the ex-Beatle, has lost her grip on reality and is a compulsive liar according to Kate Robbins.

Kate told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "I've known her to tell huge whoppers. Her trousers must be permanently alight." Paul's cousin also dismissed claims that the 64-year-old musician was physically violent towards Heather during their four-year marriage.

Kate said: "You couldn't meet a less violent person." She also insists that Paul and Heather were in love when they married in 2002 and says their family did everything they could to make the former model feel welcome.

Kate explained: "I was at their wedding and they were in love. I am not calling her a gold-digger. I am saying she is economical with the truth.

"All our family bent over backwards for Heather and did our best to make her feel included when she married Paul. I stood up for her against claims she was a gold-digger.

"But I've come to see, when it comes to being a human, she's not the nicest person. She is the worm that turned." Last week, Heather accused British Airways of "humiliating her".

The 38-year-old lost her temper when staff used a wheelchair rather than a buggy to take her to her flight at London's Gatwick airport.

Heather was overheard telling staff: "Have you got it in for me? 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's spokesman confirmed she had refused the wheelchair, but denies there was a dispute.

Sir Paul McCartney is among more than 4,000 musicians who have taken out a full-page newspaper advert expressing their discontent with the law over copyright.

The eclectic group of signatories demanding "fair play for musicians" also includes Sir Cliff Richard, The Who, Dire Straits and U2.

The artists, from more than 3,500 record companies, are calling for an extension of copyright on sound recordings from 50 years to 95 years.

Their petition follows the publication of the Government commissioned Gowers Report, which recommended the protection should not be extended.

The British Phonographic Industry is campaigning for Britain to be brought into line with the US, which has a 95-year limit.

A song's composer is entitled to the exclusive rights to their music and appropriate royalty payments for life and a further 70 years after their death.

But a song's performer in the UK will cease receiving royalty cheques 50 years after the song comes out.

Singers who have enjoyed success with just one or two songs such as Chesney Hawkes and Timmy Mallett have also lent their name to the campaign.

Sir Cliff will soon cease to receive royalty payments on his earliest hits and has been the most outspoken campaigner, arguing that singers are as crucial to the success of a piece of music as its composers.

He said recently: "We are as important to a song as the writer is because we give it life."

Heather Mills has taken the extraordinary step of representing herself in court to reduce mounting legal bills in her divorce from Sir Paul McCartney.

Ms Mills has dispensed with barristers charging as much as £15,000 a day in her latest legal action against McCartney.

The decision to go it alone in one aspect of the divorce has raised eyebrows among the legal profession.

Although her final legal bill could be as high as £1 million ($1.9 million), Mills is likely to receive at least £20 million ($39 million) - and as much as £100 million ($197 million) - in the battle for the former Beatle's estimated £825 million ($1.6 billion) fortune.

Mills, 38, represented herself in the High Court last week and in applications to keep Sir Paul out of her home and to gain access to his.

The case is being heard by Mrs Justice Baron, one of the most eminent family law judges in the country.

A source close to Mills said: "She has to be careful about the size of the legal bills and by representing herself she is able to cut down on the costs."

The source said Mills has retained the services of London law firm Mishcon de Reya in the main divorce battle over money and custody of three-year-old daughter Beatrice.

But in the ancillary action, she appeared as a litigant in person without professional help.

The source said: "She is an intelligent woman and felt she was capable of handling this."

Mills is still being advised on the financial aspects of the case by Anthony Julius, who handled Princess Diana's divorce, and by Nicola Fletcher, a partner at Mishcons who is expert in family law.

When Mills brought her own action in the High Court she was photographed clutching an A4 pad containing scribbled notes about the divorce.

The notes formed the basis of her speech and were headed: "I'm seeking an order for occupation of the matrimonial home," and were followed by three bullet points.

The decision on her court application to have McCartney, 64, kept out of her home in Hove, East Sussex, is expected imminently.

James Stewart, a leading divorce lawyer with Manches, said: "I would find it very peculiar if one of my bigmoney clients went off on a frolic in relation to other aspects of the divorce case."

A friend of McCartney's said: "You couldn't make it up."

Anthony Julius was pleased to act for Heather Mills McCartney in her divorce battle with Sir Paul.

No mere figurehead for his firm's matrimonial department, he is very much involved in Lady McCartney's case. "I work on it and direct it," Julius says. He also does some of the advocacy that might otherwise be handled by a barrister.

"I'm happy to represent her. I like her and I have a great deal of admiration for her. She's intrepid and stalwart. She has encountered - and triumphed over - adversity. She has considerable character and strength of purpose. She also has a great deal of natural intelligence."

And yet she gave an interview to a US television show last month, in which she denied being a gold-digger. Surely every divorce lawyer would prefer to reach an out-of-court settlement, dealing with sad family matters as discreetly as possible - even if the parties are in the public eye?

"Those are commonplaces which are also true," he replies.

And that is all he is prepared to say about his famous client. Quoting Oscar Wilde's solicitor, he says that lawyers have to be boring - not because they have nothing to say but because they should refuse to disclose the things they know.

The music legend ­ who is currently going through an ugly divorce battle with Heather Mills -- says he is often left shocked when he listens back to the band's old records because they are so impressive.

He told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "I look back on Beatles songs and wonder how we did it.

"One of the joys of touring is revisiting songs we never performed on stage. I'll sing them for the first time in 40 years and think, 'These are young composers, a nice song.' Then I'll hear a line or chord change and think, 'Bloody hell, that's good.'"

The 64-year-old musician along with the late John Lennon penned the majority of the Fab Four's biggest hits and both are regarded as two of the greatest songwriters of all time.

Sir Paul is currently in the process of divorcing second wife Heather who he has a three-year-old daughter, Beatrice, with.

The former model, who has an artificial leg, asked her helper: "Have you got it in for me?"

Heather, 38, was overhead telling 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, involved in a bitter divorce battle with her ex-husband Sir Paul McCartney, checked in at Gatwick airport at 7am for her flight to Brussels.

She had requested a wheelchair when she booked her economy flight but apparently expected to get a ride to the departure gate in an electric buggy.

A source near the BA desk, whose staff were handling her flight with SN Brussels, said: "Heather's face fell when she saw the wheelchair.

"She was mortified. She asked for an electric buggy but there was not one available. Eventually, after getting a few things off her chest, she decided to walk to the plane.

"Heather was clearly worried about how she would look being pushed in a wheelchair. She was very jumpy.

"She thought everyone had it in for her. It was very embarrassing for her. She thought she shouldn't have been put in such an embarrassing position.

"It created a bit of a fuss which a fair few people witnessed."

Heather was travelling to Brussels with her sister Fiona and newsreader Fiona Bruce last Thursday. She was due to present a petition to the European Parliament calling for dog and cat fur imports into the EU to be banned.

But she was furious to find a wheelchair and assistant from OCS Transport Services ready to push her to departure gate 45. After complaining, she made the five-minute journey to catch flight 2122 on foot.

Newsreader Fiona was booked in club class and it is understood that she did not see the incident.

Another witness said: "The check-in staff were conscious of Heather's disability and respectful of it and politely did all they could.

"But the situation was beyond their control. A wheelchair was requested and provided. The fact that she chose not to use it was up to her."

British Airways confirmed the incident. A spokesman would only say: "We are unable to access the relevant booking details for Miss Mills' flight. We've not received a complaint."

A spokesman for Heather confirmed that she had been offered a wheelchair, which she declined, but said there was no altercation.

Heather lost her leg after being hit by a police motorcyclist 13 years ago.

Heather has revealed how she received death threats since her split from Sir Paul, 64.

She has accused him of stabbing her in the arm with a broken wine glass, pushing her over a table and into a bath while she was pregnant. Sir Paul denies the allegations.

The couple, who married four years ago, face a bitter custody battle over their three-year-old daughter Beatrice. Heather reportedly wants a £80 million ($157 million) divorce settlement but says she will give most of it to charity.

Sir Paul McCartney could fall out of Britain's top 100 rich list because of his impending divorce from Lady Heather Mills.

That is one of the key predictions from the compiler of a new book charting the fortunes and misfortunes of the UK's top movers and losers.

The Sunday Times Rich List, 2006-2007, lists the 5,000 wealthiest people in the country.

Dr Philip Beresford, compiler of the list, predicts that Sir Paul McCartney looks set to slip further, with his £825 million ($1.6 billion) fortune reduced by up to £200 million ($393 million) when his divorce from Heather Mills is settled. That would knock him out of the top 100 for first time.

Sir Paul McCartney is to be given six months to pull down a £1 million ($1.9 million) lakeside cabin.

The two-bedroom log cabin was built without planning permission on his 933-acre estate near Peasmarsh, East Sussex, about three years ago.

The building and a nearby pavilion, with a platform overlooking a lake turned into a wildlife sanctuary by Sir Paul and his late wife Linda, have been the subject of a year-long planning dispute.

Tomorrow, Rother District Council's planning committee is due to approve an enforcement notice, requiring the ex-Beatle to demolish the cabin by June 30.

Sir Paul, 64, had argued that the cabin, in an area of outstanding natural beauty, was essential to the "privacy and security" of his family.

What newly separated celebrity wives choose to wear speaks volumes about divorce plans...

Separation Chic - it's a comparatively new addition to the contemporary wardrobe lexicon, but with lifestyles of the splits and famous now a constant in the press, the bizarre choices of the newly single, female plaintives have become a reliable, buttock-clenching, watch-through-your-fingers, what-were-you-thinking, source of entertainment.

There are no strict rules here. Women can adapt the broad parameters of separation chic in a number of inventive, bespoke ways to suit their emotional state.

First there's the "I'm totally devastated" tactic where the distraught female party approaches every day as if it were a slob-out Sunday (or, for that matter, a Kerry Katona any day).

With this discipline outfits are chosen for their baggy, photogenic pathos (in case the paps are around), comfort, food stain-concealing patterns and whether they have elastic waistbands or not.

Make up is non-existent, hair is bundled up into a trucker cap. It's a look that says, "I am hurting."

The alternative is to power up your clobber, dress like you mean business and ape the aggressive style of your female divorce laywer with smart skirt suits, Gekko-esque pinstripes, mannish shirts and austere court shoes.

It's a look that says, "I'm going to get everything!"

Then there's the third way; the sartorial equivalent of flicking the Vs at your husband ­ you start dressing like a hooker.

Heather Mills McCartney, a difficult character who has never had an easy relationship with her wardrobe, is handling separation chic rather differently.

This is a woman who, from the day she hit celebrity pay dirt and became international pap fodder, perpetuated the disappointingly dull and parochial, cost-conscious dress sense of someone who only shopped where there were park and ride facilities.

That was fine while Heather was married and professionally militant because her rather cheap-looking, carefree ensembles ­ uneventful, shift dresses and mumsy coat dresses, mostly - dovetailed perfectly with Sir Paul's everyman image and, even better, suggested she had more important things on her mind.

Like her vociferous campaign against evil, carcinogenic cow's milk, for example.

But as soon as divorce papers were served Heather went on a style offensive. That is to say, her style became even more offensive than before.

First Heather had a hair make over. The demure, mousy, subtly highlighted shags of her married, right on Barnet made way for a harsh bottle blonde do with long extensions and a severe, blunt cut fringe.

The fringe, in particular, hardened up her face and gave her a hairstyle to match her abrasive, Cilit Bang personality.

With those few unflattering snips her hairdresser rendered her image even less likely than ever to engender public sympathy.

Heather's mouth, her most overused and abused facial feature, changed too. Where there was once an almost endearing, Madonna-esque, gappy-toothed grin - trotted out for photo calls and red carpets, mostly - she now wears the dour, unchanging expression of a someone chewing an unripe lime, her petulant, sticky glossy lips pursed in the permanently forthright and rather scary pout of a bitter, six Barcardi Breezer divorcee on a night out in Newcastle's Bigg Market.

At this point it would probably be appropriate to name check Heather's defective image consultant. But it rather appears that she hasn't got one.

No one with any sense of style or appropriateness would advise their client to attend a meeting with her divorce lawyers (Mischon de Reya of Holborn, London) dressed like a Primark Bianca Jagger in a white trouser suit and dodgy black platforms as Heather did back in August.

Perhaps she thought it pure and innocent looking; the virginal mufti of the wounded plaintive. If she did, she was wrong. It was an outfit that might look acceptable worn by one of Girls Aloud at the Cartier Polo it is too rock chick for something as sombre and life-changing as divorce proceedings.

But the white suit proved to be just exhibit A in a litany of ugly, separation chic disasters. Soon Lady Mucca was emerging from an LA wearing a pair of over faded supermarket jeans and a nasty, tattoo design t-shirt bearing the legend "Love Kills Slowly". Ooooh, get you Miss Sharp.

Other bits of break up couture have included a truly bizarre fluoro-yellow duvet coat, as thick as boiler lagging (and about as flattering) with lapels as wide as 747 wings that Heather deemed correct attire for riding a bike (hope she was wearing a good quality antiperspirant) and a rotten, black wraparound satin dress which, as she walked through yet another airport lobby, made her look like a coffee-breaking masseuse from a Hong Kong business hotel.

More recently there was the all black, Emma Peel outfit ­ black leggings, black sweater, black beret and, oh, the irony - black Stella McCartney thigh boots. A detail that proved especially shocking for the staff at Grazia.

Apology for Sir Paul's lawyer

Fiona Shackleton, the lawyer for Sir Paul McCartney, won an apology and undisclosed damages from Associated Newspapers over suggestions that she would indulge in smear tactics.

Shackleton, who shuns publicity, lodged rare legal proceedings, along with her law firm Payne Hicks Beach, over an article in the London Evening Standard. The piece, by A. N. Wilson, published on October 20, carried the headline: "So, Macca, where's Mr Nice Guy now?"

The article referred to Shackleton's role as the Prince of Wales's lawyer in his divorce from Diana, Princess of Wales. The late Princess's lawyer, Anthony Julius, is representing Lady McCartney.

Shackleton, whose judgment in the professional directory, The Legal 500, is described as "second to none", prides herself on refusing to indulge in smear tactics or publicity campaigns.

It looks like one of the featured items in the auction of Dick Clark's celebrated memorabilia collection may be a fake.

One of the featured items in the Dick Clark Auction scheduled today at Guernsey's Auction House was Paul McCartney's autographed Beatles' era, left-handed Hofner bass guitar.

It was estimated to sell for $25,000 to $100,000; however, the makers of the Hofner have told "Good Morning America" that the model wasn't made until 1978, years after the Beatles disbanded.

Guernsey's Auction House has agreed to remove the guitar, for now.

"In as much as time does not permit us to properly investigate the matter, the lot will be removed from the event. Depending on the outcome of our research, the bass guitar may be offered at a future date," Arlan Ettinger, president of Guernsey's Auction House, said in a statement.

The Dick Clark Auction has been called possibly the largest in rock 'n' roll history, with items from Michael Jackson's glove to Madonna's bustier up for bids.

In October, the alleged McCartney Hofner bass was promoted on a number of media outlets, including "GMA."

Shortly after it was shown on "GMA," questions about the authenticity of the guitar were raised.

Shaky Signature, Doubts About Ownership

Beatles aficionado Frank Caiazzo has spent 20 years studying Beatles signatures. Caiazzo inspected the bass while it was on display prior to the auction.

"Very shaky signature," he said. "You can see that it is slowly executed."

"When I saw the Hofner bass, in my opinion, the signatures on the bass were not authentic. Both signatures," he said. "They stood out to me as being very shaky forgeries, done by somebody with limited skill."

Andy Babiuk, author of the book "Beatles Gear," has studied the history of the Beatles instruments.

He doubts whether the guitar belonged to McCartney at all.

"Paul only really had two Hofners while he was with the Beatles. The first one was stolen in 1969, unfortunately. And the second one was the one he used primarily throughout the Beatles, and he still owns it to this day," Babiuk said.

The Problem With Memorabilia

The controversy over the alleged McCartney bass is indicative of a growing problem in the market for rock 'n' roll keepsakes.

Rock 'n' roll memorabilia is a booming $250 million business.

Mark Zakarin, a specialist in rock 'n' roll memorabilia, says with such high demand, forgeries abound.

"You'll see a lot of forged material out there. An amazing amount," Zakarin said.

He explained that the Internet was ripe with forgeries.

As the case of the alleged McCartney guitar might prove, buyers who want a piece of rock 'n' roll history had better be sure they don't get a rock 'n' roll fantasy.

Yahoo! Search has revealed that Heather Mills was the most popular search topic in 2006, in its annual survey of internet users.

Heather Mills's divorce saga with Paul McCartney ensured she came top of Yahoo! Search's 'Top Searches of 2006', ahead of topics like Iraq and England's performance in the World Cup.

Seven out of the top ten overall searches on Yahoo! Search were celebrity related, with Pete Burns, The Ordinary Boys, Steve Irwin and Kate Moss all featuring.

The backshot: Mills had retained top Brit lawyer Anthony Julius, who represented Princess Diana in her split from Prince Charles, but can no longer afford his services, a source familiar with the proceedings told Sneed.

"She's run out of resources," the source said.

McCartney is represented by Fiona Shackleton, who handled Prince Charles' side of the royal divorce.

Mills has reportedly made numerous offers to share joint custody of Beatrice, but McCartney has rebuffed them all and is requesting sole custody of the young girl. A judge is expected to rule today.

"It's the battle of her tumultuous life," said the source.

Classic FM announced today that Thursday (November 7) is to be Paul McCartney Day, when the former Beatle will become a guest DJ and the station will play his classical works.

Between 11am and 1pm (6 am ET- 8am ET) , Sir Paul will take over solo presenter duties on the GCap station, playing a selection of his classical favourites in McCartney's Most Wanted.

Although best known for his pop career, Sir Paul has more recently embarked on a new path as a classical composer, releasing the album Ecce Cor Meum.

On Thursday, Sir Paul will also reveal details of his new guitar concerto project and discuss the impact of his musical legacy on Liverpool.

"I'm fulfilling one of my ambitions to present on radio," he said.

The auction at Christie's in New York will cover more than five decades of music history, with lots ranging from Miles Davis's trumpet to a handwritten page from Britney Spears's schoolbook, featuring her teenage analysis of the play Antigone, up for grabs.

Love letters by Bob Dylan and a previously unheard interview of John Lennon are also among the lots.

The item that is expected to fetch the highest price is a page of draft lyrics for the Beatles song Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Christie's expects it to fetch up to $300,000 (£151,000).

"McCartney lyrics rarely appear on the market and have not appeared for about six years," said Helen Hall, of Christie's.

The lot also includes two copies of the song that a member of the Beatles' staff wrote out for use by other members of the band. They are the only trio of Beatles lyrics to have appeared on the market.

Maxwell's Silver Hammer, which appears on the Abbey Road album, took three days to record and overdub, and caused considerable arguments between the band members as they hurtled towards their break-up.

McCartney insisted that the song was a possible single but Lennon disagreed, later calling it "a typical McCartney single, or whatever".

Lennon was not even present in the studio when it was recorded because he was recovering from an accident. "We spent more money on that song than any of them on the whole album, I think," he said.

UPDATE

December 4, 2006 -- Reuters

They love him, yeah, yeah, yeah

A Texas bookstore owner bought a rare page of working lyrics for Beatle Paul McCartney's song "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" for $192,000 at an auction of rock and pop memorabilia at Christie's on Monday.

Bill Butler also won the bidding for one of rock legend Jimi Hendrix's electric guitars -- a 1968 Fender Stratocaster -- for $168,000, the guitar's strap for $10,800 and a photograph of Hendrix and band members Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell framed by two topless blondes for $5,400.

"I'm worried about getting it all home," Butler, wearing a tan baseball cap emblazoned with the Texas state flag and the words "Vote Kinky Friedman," joked with reporters after the auction.

Butler retired from the telecommunications industry before opening his rare and used book shop in Rosenberg, Texas, just outside Houston. He said he would display the guitar at his bookstore but would store the 1968 McCartney lyrics in a fireproof file cabinet.

Christie's fall New York auction of 147 lots of guitars, clothing, handwritten lyrics and other memorabilia took in a total of $1,117,920 from people who placed bids in person, by phone and over the Internet. That total was at the upper end of the auction house's estimate of $800,000 to $1.1 million.

A previously unheard and undocumented interview with John Lennon for Crawdaddy music magazine was sold for $38,400 and an acoustic guitar Dylan played during camping trips went for $24,000. A handwritten 1972 letter by John Lennon to a music magazine about the political situation in Northern Ireland fetched $24,000.

Before she continues with any divorce proceedings, sources say Heather Mills wants to make sure she has gathered as much evidence to use against her legendary Beatle husband in court.

Heather has reportedly been filming inside the London home she shared with estranged husband Paul McCartney.

The former model headed to the $6.6 million Swiss Cottage mansion and spent two hours there, after meeting her divorce lawyers.

The 38-year-old video taped the contents of every room with her handheld camera before leaving with two suitcases filled with clothes.

A source told Britain's News of the World newspaper, "It was weird. All the lights were on and she could clearly be seen videoing everything."

The footage is rumored to be for use during the upcoming divorce battle, but a spokesperson for Heather says the former model was filming the paparazzi following her.

Back in August, Heather arrived at the North London mansion to find all the locks had been changed. It was reported last week that Heather is seeking occupancy of the matrimonial home in the divorce settlement.

Lawyers have said Heather could force Paul out of the property if she can prove her claims of domestic violence.

Paul, 64, filed for divorce in July after four years of marriage, citing Heather's "unreasonable behavior."

Meanwhile, Heather is reportedly hoping to appear on Oprah to reveal all about her marriage to the Beatles legend.

A source revealed, "Heather loves Oprah and she thinks she would allow her to tell her side of the story. She doesn't want to be seen as the villain in this divorce and believes Oprah will be sympathetic."

Paul McCartney says that he understands that the new soundtrack to The Beatles LOVE will both appeal to and turn off some longtime fans. The album, which debuted last week at Number Four on the charts, was complied by the group's legendary producer George Martin and his son Giles, using elements from dozens of Beatles songs.

McCartney says that he knows that there will be a percentage of fans that consider it almost sacrilegious to remix the Beatles'catalogue: "I think there will be people who are purists and want to hear it as it was. And you know what? It exists as it was. So you know, play your vinyl. You know, that is how it was, but obviously by allowing it to happen, we don't have a problem in cleaning (the masters) up. So for the purists, you stick to the pure sound and let other people hear it clean."

The "score," which creates a new musical mosaic using elements from the group's catalogue, is featured in the hit Las Vegas Beatles-Cirque du Soleil show of the same name, now running at The Mirage.

In other McCartney news:

McCartney, whose visits to a psychiatrist were first revealed in his estranged wife Heather Mills' divorce petition, spoke about therapy in a recent interview with Britain's Radio Times.

McCartney said that, "You can be in an argument, or feeling down, and if you're lucky enough to be able to write you go into a corner and work your way through the emotions. Instead of sitting down with a psychiatrist, you sing 'I've been feeling bad'... I've seen psychiatrists in my time, so songwriting hasn't always worked. It's not a bad idea to have someone to talk to. It's normally over family matters."

McCartney is currently one of three British celebrities in the final running for the title of Britain's Greatest Living Icon. The award, for which McCartney is currently running against '80s pop legend Morrissey and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, will be decided by viewers of the BBC TV's Culture Show. The winner will be announced on December 16th.

Also:

Fresh off the heels of Heather Mills allegedly trying to get her hands on tapes of McCartney's first wife, the late Linda McCartney, revealing abuse stories to an author, Mills has reportedly shown interest in audio tapes made by McCartney's step-sister, Ruth McCartney.

The tapes were made by Beatles author Geoffrey Giulliano in the mid-90's, while working on a project with Ruth which never got off the ground. Ruth has broken her silence after hearing that Giulliano has offered to sell the tapes to Mills.

The tapes reportedly show that McCartney had a violent side. Ruth spoke about one of the incidents described on the tapes, telling Britain's Daily Mail that after performing with McCartney's brother Mike on British TV in the mid-'70s and expressing an interest in going into show business, McCartney "... pinned her to a wall and, shaking with rage, screamed at her: 'You're fat, you're spotty, you don't have a life, you're not interesting, most guys only take you out so they can meet me.'"

Among the other revelations on the tapes include the first mention that the Liverpool-based McCartney clan weren't particularly fond of Linda: "When she joined the family, everyone hated her because she was rich and Jewish. Our Aunty Milly said it was 'practically like Paul marrying someone black.'That was a wicked, racist thing to say, but that was the background we came from, a sort of World War Two Britain."

Ruth also said that, "Paul wanted to smoke marijuana in (his father's) house. Dad gave him a hard time, but he still did it. In Paul's mind, it was his house and if he wanted to smoke, he could. But Dad disapproved. Paul would blow hot and cold when he did drugs. He could be lovely one moment and nasty the next."

Ruth was adopted by McCartney's father Jim McCartney in 1964, when he married her mother Angie.

Jim McCartney died on March 18th, 1976, on the eve of McCartney's European tour with Wings. McCartney, who was unable to attend the funeral, reportedly immediately cut Ruth and Angie off financially, and has had no contact with them over the past 30 years.

The strain of his divorce battle with Heather Mills is taking such a toll on Sir Paul McCartney that it's making him "physically sick".

The 64-year-old singer made the confession during a heartfelt chat with his actor pal Alec Baldwin, who refers to himself as the "king of bitter divorces" after his poisonous split from ex-wife Kim Basinger.

Sir Paul popped up as a recent surprise guest on Saturday Night Live in New York, which was guest-hosted by his old mate Alec, 48.

The pair had an emotional man-to-man chat after the show where they discussed their bitter divorce battles.

The Eye's source says Alec, who is still fighting for custody of his 11-year-old daughter, Ireland, with Kim, 52, sympathises with the former Beatle and tried to give him some advice.

"Alec really feels terrible about Paul's current situation with Heather," we're told.

"His own custody fights with Kim have been nasty and vicious. He knows what it's like to fight for his child. He just wanted to offer him some hardlearned tips."

Alec told Paul: "I'm the king of bitter divorce, so make sure everything is written down.

"And I mean everything! Otherwise you're f*****!" Our source tells us Sir Paul then revealed the awful toll the battle with 38-year-old Heather Mills' for custody of their three-year-old daughter Beatrice was taking.

The insider said: "He never imagined things would become so horrible with Heather, and the war over custody of little Bea is making him physically sick."

The former model has reportedly been approached by film production company Working Title about the possibility of bringing her story to life on the big screen.

The proposed project will focus on Heather's marriage to Sir Paul McCartney, subsequent break-up and bitter divorce battle.

The 38-year-old blonde, who lost her left leg after being run over by a police motorbike in 1993, is keen on Sienna portraying her because she believes they both share similar traits.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Heather has been approached by someone at Working Title about a movie based on her life. It will cover her version of being married to Paul and focus on her charity work. Heather sees herself in Sienna Miller. She thinks Sienna is great and gutsy."

Meanwhile, Heather is said to have contacted the producers of 'Desperate Housewives' asking for a part.

The anti-landmine campaigner is considering moving into acting and has asked bosses if there is the possibility of her landing a role on the hit show.

A source said: "'Desperate Housewives' is her favourite programme and she really believes she would be ideal in the show. She has emailed the producer and is waiting for a response."

Sir Paul McCartney's estranged wife Heather Mills spent nearly two hours at his north London house on Wednesday filming with a camcorder.

Mills was locked out of the residence in August when the former Beatle changed the locks but a source close to Mills claims she had permission to visit last week.

The footage is rumoured to be in preparation for the couple's upcoming divorce battle but a spokesperson for Mills says she was merely recording the movements of paparazzi from the window.

McCartney and Mills split up in May after four years of marriage and began divorce proceedings in July.

Heather Mills is desperate to land a part in her favourite TV show... Desperate Housewives.

The estranged wife of Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney has contacted the producer of the series pleading for a part. She is also touting herself to other TV and movie producers in a bid to crack Hollywood. Last night a Tinseltown insider told the Sunday Mirror: "She seems to really fancy herself as an actress and genuinely thinks she has a gift for TV drama.

"Desperate Housewives is her favourite programme and she really believes she would be ideal in the show. She has emailed the producer and is waiting for a response." It is believed that Heather would prefer to play a fictional character - rather than herself - in the show, which stars Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Nicollette Sheridan, Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman.

She recently joked that her life sometimes mirrored the show, saying: "When I'm stressed, I just go and watch their characters. I think I'm very like Lynette (a harassed mum-of-four, played by Huffman, who longs to be a high-powered executive)."

Heather has already appeared in US drama Days Of Our Lives as herself. But a TV source said: "Her performance was wooden."

She is still waiting to hear back from Marc Cherry, whose company makes Desperate Housewives. A source there said: "Marc is very busy at the moment."

She has viewed the secluded six-bedroom property twice because it offers the perfect location once the custody battle over daughter Beatrice has been settled.

The Grade II listed farmhouse includes an indoor swimming pool and stands in an acre ­ and Heather would be protected from prying eyes by a line of oak trees.

But the biggest selling point for Heather is the convenience of being so close to Sir Paul's estate at Peasmarsh in East Sussex.

So whoever wins the custody dispute, Heather, 38, will be a five-minute drive from the former Beatle.

The house, built in 1722, has a triple garage and exposed beams and timbers. The garden features a summerhouse and ornamental pond and also has a high hedge on its perimeter for added privacy.

The heated swimming pool has a sauna alongside and the home has been recently modernised inside.

Heather and Sir Paul, who is worth an estimated £850million, ($1.6 billion) are locked in a bitter divorce battle involving his fortune and the various properties they own. She is thought to be seeking an £80 million ($157 million) settlement.

Last week Heather was seen in London clutching a notebook with a scribbled reference suggesting she may seek an order for occupation of the marital home, where Paul has lived for nearly 40 years.

Heather Mills needs to make up her mind whether the public want to hug her or hang her.

Two weeks ago she was regaling us with tales about how wonderful people were and how, far from hating her, they were actually hugging her in the street.

This week it's a different story (par for the course with Ms Mills) and now she's whining she's living in fear from death threats.

Handwriting expert Ruth Myers, who analysed a bunch of scribbled notes Heather was carrying last week and which showed her intention to take Macca's family home as part of the divorce settlement, says: "She's a fantasist who lives in an unreal world of her own and has lost all sense of truthfulness."

What she hasn't lost, however, is her lust for money and power... which Macca is about to find out.

The former Beatle will go up against singer Morrissey and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough in the BBC poll.

The three were ranked ahead of David Bowie, Sir Michael Caine and five other famous faces in the survey, conducted by BBC Two's Culture Show programme.

The eventual winner, decided by public vote, will be announced on 16 December.

Before that, Sir Paul will be a guest presenter on Classic FM next Thursday as part of a day of programming dedicated to his life and work.

The 64-year-old is currently promoting his latest classical album, Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart).

'Insecure'

However, it is his personal life rather than his music that has dominated headlines of late.

In an interview with the Radio Times, McCartney - currently embroiled in an acrimonious divorce dispute with estranged wife Heather Mills - confirms he has sought psychiatric help in the past.

"I've seen psychiatrists in my time," he is quoted as saying. "It's not a bad idea to have someone to talk to.

"It's normally over family matters," he continues.

The singer also admits to being "occasionally insecure" but says he has no plans to retire.

"I don't anticipate ever giving up. They'll have to wheel me on to the stage."

December 2, 2006 -- Daily Mail

New Macca tapes (and Heather wants them)

Heather Mills has been in talks to buy a set of tapes recorded by Paul McCartney's stepsister that feature potentially explosive accusations that he subjected her to violent rages.

In the tapes, Ruth McCartney claims that he pinned her to a wall and, shaking with rage, screamed at her: 'You're fat, you're spotty, you don't have a life, you're not interesting, most guys only take you out so they can meet me.'

She also claims that he refused to give her a penny of his vast fortune and advised her to improve her prospects by going out to 'meet a rich Arab' and 'do what women do'.

The tapes are being sold by Beatles writer Geoffrey Giuliano who interviewed Ruth McCartney with a view to writing her autobiography. He got in touch with Ms Mills' lawyers when news broke of her acrimonious split from Sir Paul.

The Mail on Sunday has contacted Ruth to discover the truth about the tapes. She has never before spoken out publicly about her stepbrother but broke her silence after learning that Mr Giuliano was trying to sell the tapes. She said she wanted to 'protect' her brother's image, but much of what she revealed during an hour-long conversation paints the former Beatle in a less than flattering light.

Ruth, 46, who runs an internet fan club site from her home in Los Angeles, California, told The Mail on Sunday: 'I don't know the specifics of their marriage. All I would say is that Paul can be mercurial. He's like the weather, if you wait long enough, it will change from sunny to stormy.

'He is a man with a huge ego who has been used to having his own way for decades. I can only speak from my first-hand experience of him and I know that he can explode in rage and then be a gentle soul the next moment. That is just who he is. I wouldn't say he was a split personality but he can be explosive because he is used to having his own way.

'Paul is a legend. He's been a Beatle, a Knight, a father, a widow and a husband but he is still human. Even gods have feet of clay.'

Ruth's mother Angie married McCartney's father Jim in 1964. Ruth was just four, a child from Angie's previous marriage, but she grew up living with Paul as the Beatles reached the pinnacle of their fame. They lived in a house in Liverpool that Paul bought for his dad, who died in 1978 (Webmaster's note: Jim McCartney died March 18, 1976 at the age of 73).

She said her earliest memories were happy ones - of McCartney returning from America to take her shopping for her first pair of patent-leather shoes and of bouncing her on his knee.

'Jim adopted me when he married mum and I grew up idolising Paul,' Ruth said, from her office in Los Angeles where she runs fan sites for stars including John Cleese. 'To me, he wasn't Paul McCartney the big superstar, he was just Paul, my big brother.

'We all lived together at a house called Rembrandt, which Paul bought for his dad for £17,000 ($33,450). It was nothing fancy by today's standards but it was a five-bedroomed place on three-quarters of an acre of land in the Wirral which Paul bought as an investment and then signed over to his dad.

'My earliest memory is of Paul driving up from London and sitting me on his knee. I was wearing Mickey Mouse pyjamas. I told him, 'I know you from my cousin's wallpaper.' She had the Beatles all over the walls of her Wendy House. He started laughing. From that moment on, I was his favourite.'

Paul used Rembrandt as a respite from the constant pressure of fame. He took girlfriend Jane Asher there and, later, his girlfriend and future wife, Linda Eastman.

Ruth recalled: 'Linda went through my mum's diary. Mum kept it in a kitchen drawer. Linda would snoop, she was a nosey cow. The diary didn't say much, but Linda kept Paul on a tight rein.

'When she joined the family, everyone hated her because she was rich and Jewish. Our Aunty Milly said it was 'practically like Paul marrying someone black'. That was a wicked, racist thing to say, but that was the background we came from, a sort of World War Two Britain.

'Paul wanted to smoke marijuana in the house. Dad gave him a hard time, but he still did it. In Paul's mind, it was his house and if he wanted to smoke, he could. But dad disapproved. Paul would blow hot and cold when he did drugs. He could be lovely one moment and nasty the next.'

Ruth said it seemed natural that she would go into showbusiness. 'I grew up with Paul and his brother Mike, who was in a group called the Scaffold, so I never really had much choice than to be drawn into their world.

'I started as a model and dancer when I was 15. Mike was about to release a song called Dance The Do and I went and auditioned for Granada Television in London as a back-up dancer in the group and was given 50 quid. I was so pleased with myself that I went straight to Paul and Linda's house and blurted out how proud I was.

'Paul's face clouded with rage. We were in the kitchen and he pinned me up against the wall, with his left hand above me and his right finger wagging in my face. Then he went nuts.

'He told me people only wanted to know me because I was his sister; that guys only wanted to date me because they thought they would end up hanging out with a Beatle playing the guitar.

'He told me I was a spotty teenager, that I was worthless. He ranted for ten minutes. At the time, I was in shock but I now understand it was his version of tough love. I was 15, he was 33. He'd been in the public eye for years. He meant it well, to toughen me up. He yelled and told me all sorts of cruel things, but he meant it for the best. It was a shock to me at the time. I was intimidated and frightened, but I know now he was trying to protect me. I felt emotionally battered.'

Ruth said Paul repeatedly lectured her on the rigours of the showbusiness world. 'He told me that showbusiness was a hard life and that I should get married, have a couple of kids and bottle fruit.

'It was the days when rich Saudis were taking over London and he said, 'You should get yourself a nice, rich, Arab husband.'

'Back then, it was the thing to do for pretty girls from the sticks to get on the train, head to London and bag a rich man.

'When he first told me, I thought he was virtually telling me to go and be a prostitute. What he really meant was that his life was hard and it would be even harder on a woman and I should go out and marry a rich old man.

'You have to understand Paul was born in 1942 Britain. His mum was working as a nurse. She died of breast cancer when he was 14 and from that point on he always felt alone. His whole mindset has always been to take care of money and be frugal.

'Paul was raised the old-fashioned way. Men were the breadwinners; women stayed at home, had babies and tea on the table. He's still an old-fashioned guy, very careful with money.'

Ruth, who has been estranged from Paul for 20 years, said they fell out when Jim was dying. She said: 'Jim was the only dad I knew. He got rheumatoid arthritis. Paul came over one day and flung open all the windows even though Dad was so frail by then he needed to sit by the fire to ease his pain. He told Dad, 'Don't be a cripple, get out of that chair and walk.'

'Poor old dad had tears plopping down his face, and he said, 'Back off son, leave me alone.' It sounds cruel, but I don't think he meant it to be. Dad got into debt towards the end and Paul bought back the house to allow him to pay his bills. He bought that house twice and, as far as I know, he still owns it.'

McCartney, who had been paying his father £7,000-a-year, cut off all links with Ruth and her mother after Jim's death. Ruth recalled: 'Mum and I struggled. At one point I was holding down five jobs, including working as a barmaid and as an office cleaner. Looking back, I think he cut us off because we were part of his dad's world and when he died, that was the natural break for Paul. Of course, I was resentful at the time. People assumed because my brother was a Beatle, he would take care of us. But he didn't.

'He and I never had any major row, he is just someone who, when he cuts you out of his life, makes a clean cut.'

However, Ruth admitted she and her mother had tried to sell Jim's Beatles memorabilia, including Paul's original birth certificate, and this had caused some resentment.

Ruth and her mother met Mr Giuliano in 1994, and they made the tapes at a recording studio near his home in Buffalo, New York, in the hope that he would be able to write their biographies. Nothing came of the plan and Ruth now regrets making the recordings, which lay in Mr Giuliano's vaults until he contacted Ms Mills' lawyers.

They expressed an interest in the tapes and a representative sent Mr Giuliano an email saying: 'The tapes could be very useful. Can you tell us what is in them? A judge will only listen to what can be deemed 'relevant' to the divorce case and we would need to have some idea to make a call on this situation.'

Last night a spokesman for Ms Mills refused to comment, although The Mail on Sunday understands that the negotiations have stalled.

Ruth said: 'My only regret is that we were once a happy family and then it all evaporated.

'I still remember Paul standing at the fireplace at Rembrandt in his tartan slippers and grilling potential boyfriends. He would give them such a hard time, saying, 'Now, what are your intentions towards my kid sister?'

'He is someone who has a very clear sense of right and wrong. He's made mistakes, but he's not Saint Paul. He's a normal guy, with flaws. He did some mean things to me, but he meant them for the best. To me, he'll always be my brother.

'Paul's someone who earned every penny he has. I look at the situation with Heather now and I think it's not about the money with him; it's about the injustice of it.

'I'm not speaking now for any other reason except I want him to know mum and I still love him.'

If the most hated person in Britain wanted to talk to you, what would you do? Say yes, of course. You'd push aside all doubts that you were about to become a pawn in the unseemly PR battle she is waging on her estranged husband. You might even emit a small shudder in anticipation of the sullied feeling you will get when it's all over. But you play along. Why? Because when the devil says she fancies a chat, she's irresistible. It's human nature. I have to confess my heart is positively soaring with excitement when I first encounter 2006's very own Beelzebub, aka Heather Mills McCartney.

A child is squeaking. It is Beatrice, her three-year-old daughter with Paul McCartney, the madly wealthy former Beatle and national treasure whom she is in the sticky throws of divorcing. "Hello?" says Heather, 38, in that curiously flat Geordie accent as more piercing toddler shrieks fill the air.

"Sorry about this . . . It's okay, Beatrice, come here . . . come here. Do you want to sit on my knee?" Beatrice does. By way of thanks she offers mum a bite of her breakfast. "Yes I know, sweetie," coos Heather as Bea asks if she can have a lollipop as well. "No. Not at this time of the morning. Do you want some more nut milk? Okay? Good girl. Now lets see if we can have five minutes to concentrate . . .

"Sorry about that," laughs Heather eventually, warm and mumsy. "I get soooo distracted."

Given the touching normality of this mother/daughter exchange it's depressing that my mind instantly runs to suspicion. What is Mucca up to? Has she roped the kid in to make her seem motherly? Is this a ploy to make women like her more? Or some new tactic to help her win the custody battle? Possibly. At this point, collective national loathing is so strong that no skulduggery seems beyond Mill's ken. It's too bad really because despite her hideously naff dress sense and ghastly gold-digging I've always kind of liked her. She may be crafty and ridiculously self-aggrandising, but she's weathered a lot in her life; rough childhood, running away from home at 13, poverty, losing her left leg while crossing Kensington High Street, listening to old Wings albums with her aging hubbie. Also people forget that the same craftiness that has won Heather, 38, rich husbands and book deals is also deployed to raise millions for charity.

Of course her (admittedly meagre) popularity fell off a cliff in May when news came she and McCartney were to split. First there were whispers about exactly what sort of "party girl" she was back in the 1980s (she hotly disputes allegations that she slept with men for money). Then there were the did-she-didn't-she leaked papers that suggested McCartney had hit her (she says she didn't leak them). She also denies rumours she is now dating her fitness trainer Ben Amigoni, 22, and a report she was offered and refused £30m of Macca's £850m fortune.

But even the devil himself would blench at having her cuttings file. "Heather Mills McCartney - what a f****** liar. I wouldn't be surprised if we found out she's actually got two legs," said Jonathan Ross, while Max Clifford, no stranger to scum himself, said: "I wouldn't represent Heather Mills for all the tea in China."

Yet these are tame asides compared with the vitriol posted on her website. "Heather, you are nothing but a bloody gold-digging disgrace . . . go to your bloody minefields, preferably without a detector." "Shame on you . . . you should have stayed in porno," and "One-legged bitch! How dare you do this to Paul!"

Can anyone really be that bad? So evil that I'm wondering if she is even exploiting her own little girl as an image prop? Bea squeals happily and shoots off into the other room. They are obviously just hanging out.

So back to business. She tells me that she's been getting "death threats" on top of the constant harassment by the paparazzi. For that reason I can only say that she is "in England". But far from feeling spooked, Heather is in rude spirits. She has just returned from Brussels where the draft directive she helped bring about to prevent the trade of dog and cat fur in and out of Europe looks like it will become law next year. "I'm in such a good mood," she enthuses. "Every time I look at my dog I don't feel guilty any more."

She took up this cause two years ago when Dennis Erdman, one of the directors on Sex and the City, saw her speaking on landmines and sent her a video about the cat and dog fur trade.

"I had nightmares for months," she says. "Then I thought of ways I could raise awareness. I did a whole show on Larry King Live earlier this year, then I did an appeal on my website. We got over 240,000 signatories. I took the petition with me to Brussels."

As ever, Heather sees her role as the Educator - a sort of amalgam of Miss Jean Brodie and the Terminator. "Most people who love fur also love animals. But they don't join the dots and think that an animal was skinned alive for it. That's where I come in - to make people think about what's going on."

It's soon clear that bossiness comes easily to Heather. In this instance she got on the phone and started hustling. She is, by all accounts, expert at this. Men in particular respond well to her pitches.

"Do you know Burberry were using raccoon dogs all over their Paris collection last year, and I called up the head guy and sent him a film showing how the racoon dog's head was smashed on the ground before its skin was ripped off, and I managed to get them to pull [the fur] from their entire collection," she says, delightedly. "I did that behind the scenes without any extreme marching or picketing or boycotting."

She claims that the bill will mean that 2m Chinese cats and dogs won't now be skinned alive and shipped to Europe. I can't help wondering though whether animal rights are more McCartney's territory than hers. As is veganism, her other new passion. "My dream," she announces, "is to start a chain of vegan fast food restaurants and I've been developing food products for a few years. Dairy-free milkshakes, fake chicken burgers, vegan mayonnaise . . . yum!" To me this smacks spookily of cashing in on Linda territory, but Heather is having none of it.

"Nobody in the family is vegan. They're all vegetarian. It's a completely different area."

Whatever, Heather.

But surprisingly, in conversation, she is much less irritating than you might expect. To her credit, her tone is entirely without self pity even when describing the death threats.

I even find myself feeling sorry for her when she starts talking about her annus horribilis. "I have been carrying on working, I just haven't let any cameras near me because they've done so much damage to the charity [Adopt-a-Minefield]. It's so sad. By losing this huge funding, this year thousands of people around the world are suffering because we don't have the money. That's the reality of it. It's devastating.

"This year the gala concert was cancelled because Paul couldn't do it and we haven't found anyone to replace him." She says this evenly and not like she's having a dig. "We've had no donations, no nothing. We're desperately trying to create as many small events as possible to make up for that $3m loss. On top of that, other events that we wanted to do were turned into a negative because we couldn't sell any tickets because of the bad publicity. Every time I try to do anything it gets personal and becomes detrimental to the charity. It's a very difficult balance because I need to put my head above the parapet but I seem to be shot down every time."

Go figure. But there is no stopping her now.

"I work like crazy. I counsel people by telephone. I'm always doing five or six things at once." Maybe that was what drove Macca mad. "But trying to get outside when there's press everywhere is impossible. You get caged in. It's been going on for the past few months, and to prove it I've got a camera constantly filming them [for legal reasons]; the crashes they create, the people they try and knock over, the pavements they mount where there are mothers and babies in buggies - the danger, the intensity of it all."

In a rare pause I chip in, does she hate the press? "I don't hate anybody. They're not my favourite people in the world but I just consider them as the people who bullied us in the playground at school. I don't read any press at all. All I know is when I walk down the street I'm hugged and I'm kissed and I'm congratulated and they shake my hand. I have nothing but a positive reaction. We do get death threats and extreme Beatles fans and things, but we're talking half a per cent."

Is she scared? "Do you know what? The only thing that upsets me is the risk to my daughter. I've worked in war zones so I can deal with whatever comes at me. And as long as I'm in a healthy condition I have my martial arts. I just believe everything happens for a reason, like losing my leg . . ."

I'm sorry, did you just say martial arts? You mean in case things turn nasty? "Yeah. After George Harrison was stabbed I needed to be able to protect myself and my family. I do jujitsu and a lot of kick boxing."

I bet she's pretty scary. "Well you're trained only to use it if it's absolutely necessary and I can only use it to a degree if my leg's in a good state - which it is at the moment." I have a terrible vision of Heather coming at me, metal leg out for the kill . . .

Her mobile rings and she announces (with not inconsiderable pride): "I've got an emergency counselling call to do." She trills off her farewells politely, says she's "happy", has a "great life plan" and "no regrets", not even about having met McCartney at that charity lunch all the way back in 1999. No reason she should, really, since she stands to gain up to £50m out of it. And then she is gone.

Poor old Macca. He didn't stand a chance.

Fresh off her split from Paul McCartney, is Heather Mills broke?

A source close to Mills and McCartney tells Access Hollywood that Heather has "got no money."

In fact, although Heather and Paul hired the same attorneys used by Prince Charles and Princess Diana, our source says Heather couldn't afford to use them. As a result, Heather has had to head to court on two occasions to argue for herself.

Surprisingly, in one appearance, she prevailed over McCartney's lawyers, allowing her to remain living on his Surrey property.

In another divorce development, Paul is seeking full custody of their 3-year-old daughter Beatrice, our source confirmed.

Mills has reportedly maintained that it isn't in Beatrice's best interest for McCartney to have full custody because she doesn't want the child constantly on the road touring with her father.

Although it is unusual for father's to receive full custody, Heather is afraid Paul will get preferential treatment from the British courts because of his superstar status.

Calls by Access Hollywood to Paul and Heather's reps have yet to be returned.

Sir Paul admits psychiatrist visits

The singer, 64, embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with Heather Mills, said it was over "family matters".

He tells the Radio Times magazine that writing music was "great therapy" but sometimes he has resorted to the psychiatrist's couch.

"You can be in an argument, or feeling down, and if you're lucky enough to be able to write you go into a corner and work your way through the emotions," he says.

"Instead of sitting down with a psychiatrist, you sing 'I've been feeling bad'."

But he adds: "I've seen psychiatrists in my time, so songwriting hasn't always worked.

"It's not a bad idea to have someone to talk to. It's normally over family matters."

Sir Paul also tells the magazine that "occasionally I'm insecure".

He says of the Beatles classic Yesterday: "I haven't stopped trying to better it.

"I doubt I will, but you never know. I don't anticipate ever giving up, They'll have to wheel me on to the stage."

December 1, 2006 -- Dotmusic/PA News

Music 'great therapy' says Sir Paul

Sir Paul McCartney says he can get so emotional that he needs someone to hold his hand.

The ex-Beatle makes the comment on Classic FM, where he is making his debut as a guest presenter.

Sir Paul, 64, who is hosting his own morning show next Thursday and guesting throughout the day, tells listeners that music has been a "great therapy".

The star, going through a bitter divorce battle with Heather Mills McCartney, says: "Inevitably moods and feelings and emotions find their way into your music, whether you like it or not.

"You can't help it. It's the nature of the beast. When I first started composing, one of the great things was if you were feeling a bit down or if you were angry or something you could go off into a corner with your guitar and just start playing something.

"It was almost like a therapy. You'd work through this feeling. You'd put it in the music, you'd start caressing the guitar, there was this soothing aspect and in the end you'd come out with an answer and you'd feel better."

"That again is one of the great things for me and I know a lot of composers who find it. It's a great therapy."

Sir Paul began composing his newly-released classical work Ecce Cor Meum before his first wife Linda died but stopped work on it for two years because of his grief.

He finished the lyrics around six years ago and the album, which translates as Behold My Heart, is dedicated to Linda, who died from breast cancer in 1998.

The singer says: "I'm a family man so that is the root of it all for me. And in Ecce Cor Meum there are some bits in it that are very emotional for me, that have memories of certain moments.

"So to have your family and friends around when I'm going through these sort of emotional moments, memories of certain things that happened during the making of Ecce, is very valuable, and just to have someone next to you to hold your hand because they know this is going to get you."

"It's good to have someone there who knows (that) you're going to need a little bit of emotional support during this."

Classic FM is clearing its schedule to feature the ex-Beatle's classical works on its Paul McCartney Day.

The musician will be playing a selection of his classical favourites, including his own work, for two hours from 11am.

Sir Paul says: "I'm fulfilling one of my ambitions to present on radio."

Classic FM station manager Darren Henley said: "Sir Paul is one of the very few pop superstars to have successfully re-invented himself as a credible classical composer.

"He's a musical legend and we're delighted to have him as one of the team on Classic FM."

Heather, 38, revealed her divorce plans when a photographer snapped her scribbled notes earlier this week.

In bold writing she told of a scheme to seize Macca's beloved £4 million ($7.8 million) home in Peasmarsh, East Sussex - which he bought for late wife Linda.

Handwriting consultant Ruth Myers, who helps Scotland Yard in crime cases, told The Sun: "Her writing shows she is a fantasist who lives in her own manufactured world.

"This woman has a tendency to live in a world of deception and has lost all sense of truthfulness."

Paul will be OK, Beatle's widow says

Olivia Harrison, the widow of George, says Paul McCartney will come out the other end of his nasty divorce in one piece.

"I haven't spoken to him in a while, but I did see him maybe a little over a month ago - and you know it's been a tough time for him," Harrison told the Sun.

"But he's a resilient person and he has a lot of dignity and he's been through a lot in the past, he can take it. This is just unfortunate."

Harrison was referring to McCartney losing the love of his life, Linda, to cancer in 1998.

So is it a matter of the old saying - what doesn't kill him makes him stronger?

"Absolutely," said Harrison, who lost George five years ago to cancer.

"That's right, what doesn't kill you makes your stronger. I can verify that. So I think he'll be fine."

Mills, 38, who is divorcing the former Beatle after four years of marriage, was pictured carrying a writing pad.

"I am seeking an order for occupation of the matrimonial home," could be clearly seen written on one page.

Fur petition

She is currently at the European Parliament in Brussels delivering a 250,000-name petition demanding a ban on the import of cat and dog fur into the EU.

"It's a strange person who does not love a dog or a cat. There are so many items using cat and dog fur that people are unaware of. It's just so inhumane," she said.

She denied that by campaigning for animal rights she was just following the lead set by Sir Paul's first wife Linda.

"It was definitely because I married my husband - nothing to do with Linda - I was sent this video of dogs and cats being skinned alive," she told BBC News.

"I purposely didn't get involved with animals so I would not step on anyone's toes," she said.

"But then I wasn't allowed to get involved with fashion, I wasn't allowed to get involved with photography, I wasn't allowed to get involved in music."

She would not say who stopped her, but added: "Now I'm free, I can do whatever I wish."

Lady McCartney has also announced plans to sue two newspapers over "false, damaging and immensely upsetting" claims surrounding the divorce.

The couple first announced plans to split in May.
