Pre-nup anyone?
So, say you are Sir Paul ... and worth some $1.6 Billion US dollars (about 800 million quid) ... you decide to hook up with some bird ... IF YOU ARE SANE YOU GET A PRENUP. Since Sir Paul is obviously out of his frikkin mind, he does not. So Heather Mills Mc Cartney is in line to get a hefty payout. Something unreal like $2 million for every week that she was married to him.
To be fair, a prenup in the UK does not exactly bind the court, it is more in the vein of a "letter of instruction" to a trustee. But still, for someone almost 30 years your junior, you would have been better off getting that right.
And Sir Paul's children did not like her from the get-go. Stella certainly disliked her and wanted nothing to do with her. Only at her father's bidding did she put up with her step-mom -- only a few years her senior.
So what we have here is an ambitious catalogue model who had a bad accident, had some courage ... and ambition ... who "fell in love" with an ex-Beatle. Who knows what is the real cause for a break-up? The cynical could say that at a certain point she knew that she would be set for life, so why keep up the charade? Or, Sir Paul, who likes his downtime and doobers, finally tired of making the social scene with Missus -- who by all reports loves the socially active life, "look at me!" The UK Daily Mail reported that she disliked the lack of style on the part of Sir Paul and was constantly nagging him to update himself and be more proactively modern. But Sir Paul likes a bit of shabby chic, and loves to kick back and get wasted, not things that appeal to Heather. Did she think that she could change him once married (boy, is that an old mistake)?
Heather now has her publicists working overtime to portray her as devastated, back in her wheelchair (as a result of an amputation revision -- yikes! -- and stress), having hardly slept in the past weeks due to pain and woe from the break-up. For his part, Sir Paul has not been to visit her, although is reported to have called her frequently. Not exactly the epitome of caring, but that cuts two ways: he could be heartbroken and unable to see her, or pissed off and not wanting to see her. Actually a third way of looking at it could be that he simply doesn't care at this point. Enough is enough. Given his record of marriage to Linda, I am inclined to give the nod to his caring.
