Not being a perusor of tabloid tittle tattle I must say I find it quite alarming when I accidentally come across (in print, on TV or radio) a spike of vitriol directed at Heather Mills-McCartney, not because I object to random attacks on those in the pubic eye but because I have no way of knowing whether she deserves it. She never entered my consciousness other than the fact she's an ex model who lost a leg in a car accident and married Paul McCartney... I seem to have missed the part where she turns to camera, twirls her moustache and laughs evilly.
Seriously though, did I miss anything? Is there evidence that Ms Mills was nothing more than a scheming gold digger? As far as I remember she was a minor celebrity with something of a burgeoning career, someone who created a public profile for herself not by going on a reality TV show but campaigning for charities. I'm also pretty sure that all of this was not without financial reward. So am I being very naieve here, or is this more to do with saint Macca who can do no wrong?
Paul McCartney was a twat in The Beatles (witness the 'Let It Be' film to see some royal twattishness) and has been a twat ever since. So the rich pensioner married an attractive young woman... did he get nothing out of this arrangement? To be honest, to put up with his smug little face and irritating 'thumbs up' signs for more than ten minutes I reckon she deserves to be richly compensated.
