Paul McCartney & Heather Mills Granted Preliminary Divorce
Originally posted 05/12/2008 07:45AM
A London High Court judge granted Paul McCartney and Heather Mills a "decree nisi" Monday, bringing their marriage one step closer to a formal end, a court spokesman confirms to PEOPLE.
Under British divorce law, the decree nisi is essentially a preliminary divorce. The McCartneys now must wait six weeks and one day to receive a decree absolute, which ends the marriage completely.

Heather Mills Booed, but Parties On in Vegas
Originally posted 04/12/2008 12:25PM
Never mind the boos: Heather Mills is just out to have a good time.
After the Miss USA audience booed the judge's introduction Friday night in Las Vegas, the former Mrs. Paul McCartney let loose at a pageant afterparty at hot spot Prive.
Mills hit the dancefloor for a couple of hours and showed off some of her Dancing with the Stars moves shortly after midnight (and after a long conversation with Penthouse exec Marc Bell). At one point, Mills – who settled her $50 million divorce deal last month – grooved to the Donna Summer classic "She Works Hard for the Money."

Heather Mills on Paul McCartney's Gal Pals: 'Better Them Than Me'
Originally posted 04/11/2008 08:00AM
It'll take more than a gag order to silence Heather Mills.
Under the terms of her recent divorce deal – valued at around $50 million – she's forbidden to discuss ex-husband Paul McCartney. But that didn't stop Mills from weighing in on the new women in his life.
"I think he's got three different girlfriends," she told Britain's GMTV morning show on Friday. "So I wish all the girls the best of luck."

Yoko Ono Advises Heather Mills: 'Try to Survive'
Originally posted 04/04/2008 09:15AM
Though Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono have long been said to have a frosty relationship, John Lennon's widow has some warm words for McCartney's recent ex, Heather Mills.
"All I can say is, it's not very easy for a woman to be associated with The Beatles," Ono, 75, tells Britain's Sky News. "I think all the wives did suffer, and I think quietly suffer. Suffer but endured, I would actually say."
Moving forward, Ono advises Mills, 40, to "do her very best and try to survive".

Heather's Big Budget: Housekeeping & Helicopters
Originally posted 03/18/2008 08:15PM
Heather Mills sought money for horses she doesn't ride and wine she doesn't drink, says a judge who found her divorce-settlement demands "unreasonable, indeed exorbitant."
In court documents in her case against Paul McCartney, Mills estimated her living expenses, including millions of dollars yearly for housekeepers, helicopter pilots, clothes, chauffeur and security guards.

Judge Rips Heather Mills, Praises Paul in Divorce Ruling
Originally posted 03/18/2008 02:00PM
The judge gave Heather Mills hundreds of millions of dollars less than she wanted after finding her "inconsistent" and "less than candid," according to a scathing judgment made public Tuesday.
"She was a less than impressive witness," says the judge, Justice Bennett. "The wife for her part must have felt rather swept off her feet by a man as famous as the husband. I think this may well have warped her perception leading her to indulge in make-belief."

Reports: Heather Soaks Paul's Divorce Attorney
Originally posted 03/18/2008 09:15AM
Heather Mills had more than just cash to splash Monday as she allegedly threw water at Paul McCartney's lawyer during the $50-million divorce proceedings.
Mills claimed she was "so, so happy," with the decision, but events inside the courtroom seem to tell a different story.
According to various accounts in the British press, Mills allegedly lashed out at McCartney's high-powered attorney, Fiona Shackleton, pouring a glass of water over the solicitor's head.
The U.K.'s Daily Mirror declared "Wet It Be" on its front page, breathlessly recounting the splash-and-dash. "[Heather] was so angry, she tipped a glass of water over Fiona Shackleton's head, leaving her with soaking wet hair," one insider told the paper. "Everyone was stunned. That kind of behavior is just not acceptable."
Indeed, pictures from the courthouse show Shackleton arriving Monday morning with a bouncy blonde bouffant and leaving at around 2 p.m. with damp locks slicked back behind her ears.

Richest Celeb Divorces: How Heather's $50 Mil Measures Up
Originally posted 03/17/2008 12:10PM
Yes, the nearly $50 million Paul McCartney is paying ex-wife Heather Mills is a lot of money, but it's no record-breaker as far as celebrity divorce settlements are concerned.
That crown still gets shared among basketball great Michael Jordan, musician Neil Diamond and box-office champ Steven Spielberg and their exes.
After nearly 18 years together, Juanita Jordan walked away from her marriage to the hoop star in 2006 with a $150 million parting gift, just like onetime TV production assistant Marcia Murphey received from Diamond – to whom she was married from 1969 (before he hit it big) to 1996.
