I'll buy you a diamond ring, my friend, if it makes you feel all right.


Yesterday I read about Heather Mills's $48.7 million winnings from her divorce battle with Paul McCartney, representing herself in court since the lawyer she fired couldn't quite get her the amount she wanted. That's about $34,000 per day of their 4-year marriage, if you wondered. Coincidentally (or was it . . . ), later that afternoon in the car, "When I'm 64" came on. I'm not the first person to point out Paul most likely didn't have a messy and public divorce in mind when he wrote that song. He seemed to be focusing more on Vera, Chuck and Dave bouncing on their grandmother's knee. Maybe I'm totally off and he was going for irony all along, but I doubt it. It probably isn't much consolation to either Heather or Paul that they could easily rent separate summer cottages in the Isle of Wight. Okay, maybe to Heather.

I know, I'm such a gossip. I wonder if it would have been as public if it weren't the British press involved. I ain't sayin' she a gold-digger, and for all I know, Paul is a big, big jerk. I guess only they know what went on between them. But I feel bad for the guy. Well for both of them. I mean if I were divorcing a gazillionaire and planned to raise his child I would want a decent paycheck from him. Most of all I feel bad for their daughter. And for Paul and Linda's kids and grandkids. What a life, right? You would think money could at least buy one of them happiness. At any rate it is making me sad.

Well I think she's a golddigger. I feel bad for Paul also. But really, no prenup? I feel bad for their daughter too.

I read online yesterday that Heather said she revived Paul's career. Huh? He is a Beatle he doesn't need reviving.

I would like to know what really transpires - not just in the actions, but in the minds of these people.

This can't be the way they really wanted to live.

Or maybe they just don't know any better.

What I'd like to know is EVERYTHING, I want to know!! The relationship between those two fascinates me, like what really happened?

Get down girl, go 'head, get down.

Why is it that I automatically think that Paul is in the right? Maybe my gut is telling me something? Because I am sure that my opinion on this is cruical.
