Heather Mills walks away from her marriage to Paul McCartney with $48 million. Not an insignificant sum, but she wanted more. Lots more. She was after $250 million. When McCartney's attorneys offered her $32 million at the start, she balked. So in the end, perhaps taking him to court was worth it, at least to the tune of $16 million. But now she's facing the wrath of the press: Both British and American gossips are on the attack, and she's got little to defend herself with, now that the entire divorce proceeding has been made public, as her ex-husband's request. Which means all of her antics, far beyond tossing a jug of water at opposing counsel yesterday, are now on the record for all to see. And the cost of repairing her public image will cost significantly more than her tidy profit, especially when she's up against a Beatle.

Paul got himself involved with a dangerous woman. Regardless of being a Beatle, she came into the relationship with nothing, got 4-6 years of high living out of it, messed it up, and should leave with what she came with. Unfortunately for her, she didn't have the necessary tools to keep quiet and be dignified, because, quite frankly, she's a psychopathic personality AND a narcissist. The fact that it is a Beatle only serves to have the power to show her real personality and her behavior to the outside world. If he had not been famous, no one would know that there are crazy women out there, just like there are crazy men and that there are unsuspecting people who, probably due to loneliness, get themselves entrapped by them. I think it's a good thing that all this crapola in the courtroom and the judge's observations were made public. Now when she tries to hawk her story on TV, in magazines, such as People, in the newspapers, when she tries to peddle "her side of the horrible Paul McCartney" story, no one will buy into it.
I don't believe Paul is a saint, but he's been around long enough and knows enough people in the entertainment industry; gossip columnists digging, that if he was horrible/terrible it would have come to light.
