I love Paul McCartney and feel very sorry for him. He only wanted someone to love him after losing his wife Linda. Unfortunately, Heather didn't know how to treat him. She had a man who treated her so special, and she threw it all away. I find it hard to feel sorry for Heather, who used Paul for her own ambitions and took advantage of a vulnerable man. Shame on you, Heather. Paul deserved so much better.

Paul's "Lovely Linda," his devoted wife of 29 years, died in 1998. I don't think anyone ever believed Heather Mills (or anyone else) could fill the huge hole Linda's passing left in Paul's life. The announcement of impending divorce is sad nonetheless, and I wish both of them peace and goodwill.

I hope that Paul and Heather can take a breather, clear their heads and get back together. Heather quite obviously isn't with Paul for his money. After all, he admittedly initiated the relationship. Heather is very involved in a lot of good causes, which speaks volumes. She could just sit on her rear and do nothing but shop. Of course she uses the McCartney name; it's her name too. As I recall, Linda used that name to her benefit as well, but it's so much easier to bash the "new" woman. Be strong, Heather and Paul. You can work it out.

MYSPACE NATION
Regarding your story about MySpace attracting sexual predators, I am a mother of five, with three in their late teens and early twenties, who have MySpace Web sites. I made a MySpace site of my own so that I could view all the postings and pictures and read comments and bulletins. I found that the best way to know what's going on in my children's lives is to jump in. They know I have my own site and even post things to me on it. They also know that I view their sites and their friends' sites. So, my advice to parents is to make your own MySpace site. It's free and gives you access to [your kid's] site. It may not tell you everything, but it gets you closer to the loop.

SPERM DONOR
My immediate reaction to your article on the sperm donor was that I hope the follow-up story isn't that the donor, Dr. Matthew Niedner, is hit with paternity suits and ends up having to support the children he generously helped create.

MADONNA CRUCIFIED
In your Star Tracks section Madonna is shown posing as if being crucified, complete with the crown of thorns. Obviously Kaballah hasn't improved her decision-making capabilities. She is still as starved for attention as she was during her "Like a Virgin" phase, except this time you would think that she's old enough to know better.

BEYONCE'S NEW BODY
When I saw Beyoncé on the cover after having lost 20 lbs., I couldn't help but wonder, "What is she gonna do with her 'old' hot body?" It would be great if she could pass it on to me!

PETERSON PEN PAL
After seeing her story, many readers were critical of Richelle Nice, the juror from the Scott Peterson murder trial who struck up a correspondence with the convicted murderer. "Richelle Nice needs to get a grip," writes Torri Arthur of Florence, Colo. "She shouldn't be writing to a murderer and telling the world about it. Is she looking for publicity?" Others were more fearful of Peterson's motivations. "Richelle needs to stop corresponding with Peterson," writes Jill Liberto of Sewickley, Penn. "It's one more attempt by him to lure another woman into his evil web."
