Yes it was just months ago when we were all being dragged through the financial settlement of Paul McCartney’s divorce to Heather Mills. The whole affair was meant to be top-secret but as all-things-celebrity, word got out and fans and bloggers alike knew a lot of things that were happening in the court room. Now, there’s one more step the two must take before they are officially divorcees of each other. From People,

“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.

Justice Hugh Bennett ended the couple’s marriage on grounds that they have been separated for two years. Neither McCartney, 65, nor Mills, 40, appeared in court.

The decree paves the way for Mills to receive her $48.6 million divorce settlement, which was granted in March. “

I’m sure that Heather Mills is happy about this. Not only because she will be arms-length at best to Sir Paul but also because she’s got her name into the media once again. That’s all this woman is about. Splashing herself across every page of the paper and soaking that man of his money is all she knows how to do. God bless this divorce! Please let it happen quickly!

It’s true, mention the word “celebrity” and automatically people think of someone that is rich, famous, spoiled and more often than not, stupid. These may be generalizations but there are lots of celebrities out there that prove this to be very true. Here are the top stories of stupid celebrities this week.

Jamie Lynn Spears attended a teen party this week with her fiance Casey Aldridge when he got into a physical fight with some of the other boys after they had had a few too many drinks. Spears, trying to break the fight up, got caught in the middle and was injured in her mouth when it was met with an elbow. I don’t begrudge her for trying to break up a fight but should a pregnant mom-to-be attend such a party? It’s different if you’re an adult but she’s 17 for heaven’s sakes! Those kinds of things generally tend to happen at those parties, which makes this just plain stupid.

And speaking of young celebs acting their age, Ashton Kutcher has come out saying that he doesn’t watch his wife’s Demi Moore’s sex scenes in movies claiming that he doesn’t want to believe that she’s into someone else. Is he not an actor himself? Does he not know that that’s her work? Oh right, he’s like 12. And stupid.

And speaking of immature, Gerard Butler has had some disgusting analogies when he denies dating Cameron Diaz. Read the story for full details but let’s suffice it to say that it involves him doing rude things with a dog.
Heather Mills has been trying hard to get herself into the papers lately with her recent divorce settlement from Paul McCartney. She’s not speaking out about him but she does make comments about how she’s happy he has other girlfriends now and that she’s happy to not be with him. I think that feeling’s mutual Heather. Not only are these comments stupid but her desperate attempt to stay in the limelight is pathetic.

Rob Lowe’s chef has been fired for among other things, having sex in his boss’ bed. When you’re working for a huge actor and getting paid major bucks, would you really want to risk it with something like this? And how gross is that?!? Stupid!

Although we may have all known that Heather Mills has always been feeding off her former husband’s, Paul McCartney’s fame and fortune, it’s now coming out that she tried to do this even more so when they were married. Apparently, Ms. Mills had high hopes of becoming a rapper. I’ll give you a minute to stop bowling over in laughter. Yes, it’s true. According to Digital Spy,

“Heather Mills and Paul McCartney reportedly made a rap record together when they were married.

According to the News of the World, the divorced couple teamed up on a track called ‘Disability Rap’, but decided not to release it because McCartney wasn’t happy with it.

A source commented: “Talk about being blinded by love. Macca hated the idea of the record but at the time he was so crazy about Heather he agreed to help her out.

“She was determined to grab all the glory by doing the rap, so the best that he could do was backing vocals and helping with the arrangements.

“Heather really wanted to release it but Macca eventually persuaded her to see sense and it stayed secret.”

The song allegedly includes Mills singing the lines: “It’s been hard, other children can be cruel. Teasing and tormenting - freak, weirdo, retard. What do they know?”

Well, if those lyrics aren’t enough to foretell a hit, then I don’t know what is. Thank God that Paul really does know what he’s doing and never let this be released. Although I think now just for curiosity sake, we would all like to have a little listen.

Heather Mills is just as crazy as she looks. Her recent divorce settlement with Paul McCartney gave her fifty million dollars but she is after more. In court, Sir Paul claimed that his total assets were worth 800 million. With this number, the court decided to grant Heather the 50 mil. But now she wants to appeal that decision after her forensic investigation team that she hired finds out that he’s worth more. From Celebrity Dirty Laundry,

“She has told friends she is employing a team of forensic accountants to examine her former husband’s finances. Such information, she hopes, will lead to the divorce ruling being overturned.

In her impromptu press conference after the divorce hearing at the High Court, Miss Mills said: “We all know he’s worth over 1 Billion. He’s been worth 1 Billion for the last 15 years.”

My heart goes out to poor Paul because she really never will go away. What in God’s name could she need more than 50 million dollars for? I think that she’s forgetting the fact that Paul actually earned that money and she did not. And although she may be keeping herself in the papers and in the spotlight, it won’t last long and she is doing nothing good for her own reputation by acting as a money grubber.

With her magic wand! Poof! Okay, maybe not with her magic wand, but with a little bit of help from her friends over at Kat Von D’s L.A. Ink tattoo parlour, and their magic wands… The little Charlie tattoo on Denise Richards‘ ankle is gone, baby, gone! From TMZ:

“When celeb couples break up, there are usually two things that happen: a ton of money changes hands, and tattoos have to be covered up!

The former Mrs. Charlie Sheen (and her reality TV crew) made her way to Kat Von D’s L.A. Ink tattoo parlor Saturday. Sources tell us she covered up her “Charlie” ankle ink with a fairy.

Nice choice.”

Too true. I wonder if Paul McCartney or Heather Mills will have any interesting things that need to be tattooed over? It’d be killer if each of them had a full portrait of one another on their ass cheeks. On the other hand, more than a ton of money did change hands; hopefully no tattoos took place. What will Charlie Sheen have to get removed? Tell us you didn’t put his name on your body, Denise, without Charlie first putting your name on his?!

Paul McCartney has always written songs that seem to strike right at the heart. When with The Beatles, he wrote Hey Jude for Julian, the son of John Lennon, to comfort him while going through his parent’s divorce and just about any other song ever written by the singer just seems to have a way to make one stop and think.

Well, McCartney has our wheels turning again with the song Mister Bellamy on his new album Memory Almost Full. Let’s stop for a minute to think about what a great album title that is….Okay, so back to the song. Although Mr. Bellamy doesn’t seem to be anybody that McCartney has close personal contact with, there are rumours floating around that the title is actually an anagram for “Mills betray me.” From Contactmusic,

“…and fans have claimed the lyrics “I’m not coming down, no matter what you do” and “No-one to tell me what to do, no-one to hold my hand” are indicative of Sir Paul’s feelings towards his former wife.

One fan said on an internet forum: “Macca [Sir Paul] wouldn’t be so blunt as to write a song specifically about someone, or a situation, and then say so, but you’d have to be a fool not to understand that he does write these songs.”

And another added: “Paul writes metaphorically.

“He can write a song about his relationship with Heather without actually saying the words Heather, wife, divorce or mistrust.”

In a video for the Memory Almost Full website, Sir Paul said: “Who is Mr Bellamy? Well, I never know who these people are.”

He went on: “Who is Chuck and Dave from When I’m 64? Who is Eleanor Rigby? Who is Desmond and Molly from Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da? I don’t know, I just make them up.

“I like giving characters names and just making them up and trying to make them fit.”

No matter how you look at it, it would be entirely appropriate. Maybe McCartney didn’t actually mean the anagram and he’s just so brilliant that these things come to him without even he being able to realize it. Or maybe he just has too much class to come out and say, “Yes, it is an anagram. I hate that money-grubbing whore.”

Paul McCartney and Heather Mills are both finally done with their divorce settlement. The pair agreed to Mills receiving fifty million dollars. That’s a lot of dough just for being married to someone. From The Pop Crunch Show,

“Both sides see this figure as fair and it would be extremely unlikely Heather would appeal and try to get more,” the Daily Mail reports. “This makes her a rich woman and she will want for nothing for as long as she lives.”

“It also means he is rid of her for a fraction of his fortune. They will both now just want to look forward.”

This news has come out after the divorce settlement hearings were super secret and ultra-private with both sides keeping mum on the subject. I’m sure they are both happy with that figure. She because a cool fifty mill is never a bad thing and he because he finally has that gold digger out of his life.

Lots of break-ups and messy divorces going on in Hollywood these days. Okay, that can be said for any day. Some divorces just won’t die and those directly involved need to come to some decisions and agreements so the rest of us can stop choking on the whole thing. One such case is the divorce between Ryan Phillipe and Reese Witherspoon…you know, the one that happened two years ago.

Paul McCartney’s divorce from Heather Mills continues to haunt us as well since they cannot come to a decision in court. Come on, Heather, I don’t think anybody’s on your side!

Then we have the recent and sad breakup of Pink and Carey Hart. Truly a sad story, let’s just hope it doesn’t make us sick for years to come.

Jennifer Esposito and Bradley Cooper have been separated for some time and are now actually getting divorced. Well, maybe the news of this split will only last as long as their marriage…A total of four months.

And lastly, there’s the barely famous duo Travis Barker, former Blink 182 drummer and Shanna Moakler, who was once a beauty queen. They’ve gotten divorced as well but I don’t think anyone noticed so talk probably won’t be around for long.

Not a surprise, since this has been going on for roughly, oh, I don’t know… FOREVER! This divorce settlement, according to People, will be one of the most, if not the most, costly in the world’s history. I wonder why they don’t just get it over with; it’s beginning to look nonsensical. From People:

“It’s said to be one of the most expensive divorce settlements in the world – and it may turn out to be one of the longest-running.

Heather Mills and the legal team acting for Paul McCartney left the gothic battlements of London’s Royal Courts of Justice Monday as far from settlement as when they first entered the building seven days before.

Despite reports that Mills had settled for a $100 million-share of the former Beatle’s estimated $1.7-billion fortune, both sides remain deadlocked.

It now remains for the judge in the case to arrive at the fairest settlement to end the couple’s five-year marriage.

McCartney was not in court. According to the British Press Association, he likely was rehearsing for his upcoming live performance at Wednesday’s BRIT Awards, the U.K. equivalent of the Grammys.”

Pht, so Paul was busy trying to look like a washed up star, while court was being held for his divorce? Also not surprising. Can’t they just settle this like they did in the days of yester-year, and burn his ex-wife at the stake? The creepy thing, is that Heather is starting to really look like Paul these days too. Better watch that Botox, girl.

Paul McCartney and his wife, Linda Mills, from whom he’s separated, returned to court today to reach a financial settlement. Rumours have it that McCartney could have as much as $1.6 billion dollars in assets while others say that it is closer to $390 million. But really, who’s counting after the first hundred million? Or the second for that matter?

OMG Yahoo says,

“Current estimates suggest that Heather is likely to receive anything from 50 million to 100 million pounds. That sum is equivalent to $100 million to $200 million.”

And all of this will come from representing herself as Mills fired her team of lawyers last year. OMG Yahoo also said,

“Press reports have also suggested that McCartney has offered Mills around $50 million, and that she is seeking at least double that amount.”

Both McCartney and Mills arrived at the courthouse but neither of them were talking. A polite “Good morning,” was all that McCartney said to a group of reporters. And despite the cameras, the helicopters, the reporters, and anything else a circus might need, no one knows exactly what went on behind those doors. The session was held in Court 34, which had a sign posted that stated,

“No Admittance - Strictly Private,”

as reported by OMG Yahoo.

McCartney and Mills were married in June 2002, four years after McCartney lost his first wife, Linda, to breast cancer. Beatrice McCartney, Paul and Heather’s daughter was born in October 2003. 2006 saw the couple split up with a seperation and when McCartney filed for divorce, his reasoning was, “unreasonable behaviour” on the part of Mills.

The legal battle between Heather Mills and ex Beatle Sir Paul MCCartney. Heather and Paul faced each other in the court the day before yesterday (28 Feb). Heather Mills claims that McCartney abused her while they were together. To be more specific, Mills says that he damaged her verbally and physically during their 4 years marriage. For example he pushed her on a coffee table while she was pregnant.

This unpleasant situation is getting worse, while the two stars have a 3 years-old daughter called Beatrice. Hope that they will find a peaceful solution to their conflict! The next round took place yesterday.. stay tuned for more

Paul McCartney reportedly has paid $380,000 for his late wife Linda’s “audio diary” — and has revealed that second wife Heather Mills wants a $150 million divorce payoff, the New York Daily News reported yesterday, citing a story published Sunday in a London newspaper.
The ex-Beatle was handed an envelope stuffed with audiotapes — which may contain damaging reflections on his first marriage — in a meeting with Peter Cox, who co-authored a vegetarian cookbook with Linda McCartney in the late 1980s, the Daily Mail reported in its Sunday edition. Mr. Cox said last week that Linda, who died of breast cancer in 1998, felt trapped in her marriage and sometimes thought about leaving. A confidentiality agreement barred him from playing or copying tapes he made of Linda McCartney, but they potentially could be used as evidence if the McCartney-Mills divorce is fought out in court.

It’s no secret that Heather Mills stands to gain a ton of money from her divorce to Sir Paul McCartney. The couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement prior to tying the knot. Which, as we all know, was the stupidest mistake ever, means Heather is entitled to 1/2 of McCartney’s fortune. Estimates of the settlement are somewhere around 300 million dollars.

But what fun would it be for the rest of us, if Heather was the only one to benefit from this split?

BetED.com is an online gambling site which is offering odds on the McCartney/Mills divorce settlement amount. According to Gambling911.com, the most popular bets are:

he ugly divorce battle between Paul McCartney and Heather Mills McCartney was put on hold this weekend at their daughter Beatrice’s third birthday party, according to published reports.The two even spoke to one another during the 90-minute event, which was held at a children’s play center in East Sussex, England on Saturday, Britain’s Hello! magazine reported Monday. About 15 guests attended, the magazine said.

McCartney reportedly took off in a car with Beatrice 10 minutes before Mills McCartney departed with leftover birthday cake in tow.

McCartney, 64, and Mills, 38, announced they were separating in May after four years of marriage. McCartney filed for divorce in July.

Their marital breakup has stirred a sensation not seen in Britain since Prince Charles and Princess Diana parted ways a decade ago, sparking immense rivalry in the British press for the best scoop.

Two weeks ago, the Daily Mail splashed its front page with what appeared to be legal papers drafted by Mills McCartney’s lawyers against the former Beatle that alleged drug use, drunkenness, callousness about his wife’s amputated leg, indifference to her pain, and even an assault with a broken wine glass.

Her lawyers said last week she is suing two newspapers over “false, damaging and immensely upsetting” stories surrounding her divorce from McCartney. She had been vilified in the media and was now being stalked by photographers, the firm said.

Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mail and London’s Evening Standard, said the stories about Mills McCartney in both papers “were obtained by proper methods and in accordance with good journalistic practice.”

Heather Mills McCartney’s lawyers said Tuesday she is suing two newspapers over “false, damaging and immensely upsetting” stories surrounding her divorce from
