Heather Mills McCartney

[sunflower68]

Why oh why does she court such controversy wherever she goes. Is she quite simply brainless or does she think it is the way to get the money from Paul?
Last night she was on US tv saying she woud 'rather have all her limbs cut off than go through what she has gone through'.
That woman makes me sick.

Honestly, just turn it off, if you dislike seeing her. Don't read about it. Don't listen to it on the radio.

It is an entirely trivial matter that affects no one other than the two involved and their families.

Avoid all tabloids...maybe the Mail too. Does the trick.

[sunflower68]

eww the Mail is the worst. It was on tv this morning so I couldn't really avoid it as I wanted to catch the weather.

She certainly isn't brainless although she could be described as legless

[brachiopod]

It's one of those "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situations.
If she refused all media "invitations", interviews etc. etc., then the media would get p****d off that they can't fill their column inches (or mindless airtime minutes in-between adverts).
In which case, they'd really turn on her and make it up regardless (dig out out imaginary friends, ex-lovers etc etc)

Don't get me wrong - I have no sympathy for her, him, nor interest in the story as a whole. And all I know is what I have seen on the front pages in the newsagents while I am reaching for my Liberal Yoghurt-Knitter's Daily.

There is a two-way relationship between celebs and the media - neither party wants to upset the other - yet none of them will admit it.

Do you think that the press found out about Ms. Mills' past "all of a sudden"?

No, they've been sitting on that story for years, barely able to avoid pi**ing themselves in anticipation, waiting for the time they could use it.

But, prior to the split, they would never have dared incur the wrath of Macca - (he's an ex-Beatle don't-you-know, and everyone loves the Beatles) - he's almost Royalty, so upset him, and in turn, you upset your own readership (and, more importantly, your circulation).

(Speaking of Royalty, there's a good example in a certain dead parasite that knew how to play the press - and still invokes strong public feeling and saturation headlines to this day)

The only people hard-done by are us. They patronise us with their "exclusives" and "latests" almost as if they believe we actually give a t*ss.

[sunflower68]

Yes Brachiopod a fine few points very well made; you certainly made me think. x

[chitchat]

I was reading an old magazine today where she said that the split was going to amicable and that she was putting her daughter first. So going to the press with all these allegations and doing a US tv show is in the childs best interests is it? She is the lowest of the low and she really believes that the Britsh Public is behind her. Get a grip you dumb blonde - you are pathetic and Paul is well rid of you. All we need now is for you to stop washing your dirty laundry in the press and go back the rock you crawled out of!

Whichever way you look at it, she does'nt have a leg to stand on
