Given the bad blood flowing through such a high-profile domestic it was quite a restrained gesture, really. There could have been shouting or even fisticuffs.
But Heather Mills restricted herself to throwing a glass of water over the immaculately coiffed hair of Sir Paul McCartney’s lawyer before emerging from the High Court yesterday to profess herself profoundly satisfied with the result. The £24.3 million divorce award, that is, not the wrecking of a tidy legal hairdo.
Fiona Shackleton, solicitor for the former Beatle, walked from court looking a little damp but not unduly discomfited. She had, after all, just saved her client a shade over £100 million.
Ms Mills, the former model who tunnelled her way into a massive seam of gold, will receive just one fifth of the £125 million that she had claimed from Sir Paul. In an impassioned speech on the steps of the Royal Courts of Justice, Ms Mills insisted that she was “very, very happy with the decision”. Well, who wouldn’t be?
Yet she was not entirely at peace with the world, launching a direct personal attack on Ms Shackleton, saying that she had “handled this case in the worst manner you could imagine”. One warring cat could not have miaowed louder to another. According to Ms Mills, her husband’s solicitor had called her “many, many names before even meeting me when I was in a wheelchair”.
Sir Paul and his legal team, undoubtedly grateful for what they can only see as a victory snatched from the jaws of an ill-conceived four-year marriage, emerged at least 15 minutes after Ms Mills. They made no ranting speeches but the normally composed Ms Shackleton looked flushed. Top lawyers do not usually expect a showering in Her Majesty’s higher courts.

Heather Mills is such a b*tch.
can the lawyer sue Mills???????????????????
Heather Mills did us all a favor, by exposing herself as a lieing, despicable, gold digger, who tried to use and abuse the legal system and media to steal money from an international icon and hero.
My favorite part of the opinion was not the numerous parts where the Judge dissed Heather Mills, but where he pointed out Paul’s love for Linda.
Mills must have been a really good lay. How else do think McCartney “fell in love with her”? His kids noticed that she had more than a couple of screws loose. Why didn’t he? Must have been the good sex.
It’s simple assault and battery. When will Heather be charged?
I think it’s GREAT that she did that! Lawyers are crude and heartless. I’m SURE This laywer deserved ALOT more than that!! BRAVO TO LINDA on this one.
I feel so sorry for Paul. He sincerely believed he had found another Linda and would have that same love and close relationship for the rest of his life.
Damn! What is it with this woman? She’s been married 4 years and had a baby. McCartney took care of the child. If she’s wise and not stupid as she seems, she’s got more money than she had before she married him. She didn’t have to split her assets she had before she married him ($15 million). Plus, she’s already got a job. This woman makes other gold diggers look nice.
Yeah...I’m sure she held a gun to his head to marry her and have a baby. He acted like a typical guy.....and he got what he deserved.
Lawyer looks a little like Paul. In fact, all of his girl friends through the years look like him.
So being in a wheel chair, even temporarily, should mean you can be a be*octh unchallenged?
She was married to him for 4 years out of his life - out of the decades it took him and his talents to make his money and she thinks she's entitled to much more? Poor dear will now have to struggle along on a mere 48,094,678.32, American. How will she ever manage?
That’s news? News woulda been if she had taken her wooden leg off and pounded the lawyer in the head with it!
It wasn’t Linda that poured the water ..it was Yoko!!!
Got what he deserved? Shoot, not even Elliot Spitzer things getting laid is worth that much.
If I was the lawyer, I would have pulled off Heather’s leg and smacked Ms Mills on the noggin with it, then set the leg on fire with my Bic.
Please....he found a young vegetarian chic and went for it. No gun was held to his head. He didn’t have to get married and have a kid. Mistakes have consequences. He has no sympathy from me. She was how old???
I think I married that woman once
Heather Mills has shown herself to be worthy of being called "many, many names" in her pursuit of Sir Paul's fortune. I can only hope for the sake of their daughter that she's a better mom than she is a wife or example, though it doesn't look like it. Whatever Sir Paul had to spend to rid himself of her was money well spent. Two words for future reference: Prenuptial agreement.
Instead he got another Yoko, except 3/4s of one.
LOL, that was too funny. One Knee Mills.
Mills is a good example of what happens when you try to get a leg up on a Beatle.
Hey, if you haven't done it Pirate Style, you just haven't done it.
Men don’t think with their brains.....they’re loss. Too bad what they think after it’s all over. Doesn’t matter......hopefully they grow up afterwards. Most don’t though.
Technically it’s assault.
She should join WWE or TNA..she is a great heel.
Zing.
can the lawyer sue Mills???????????????????
I sincerely hope so. This was certainly a classless act from a classless woman who really got a lot more than she deserved from this divorce. At least Paul M had one wife who truly loved him for a long time. Not every one has that opportunity. Four years = 24.3 million to a classless ingrate.
Under US law it could be considered an assault.
Rawr! Hiss-hiss! Don't be too overly-broad, there! People will start to get the impression you were dumped for a younger gal!
” She didn’t have to split her assets she had before she married him ($15 million). “
I thought I read a later article where the judge stated he found no proof of those assets. That she had claimed she gave millions to charity, but there was abdo-lutely no documentation, none, to support her claims. The judge blasted her sincerity!
I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.
Heather Mills is just what she is. A piece of dirty scum. What goes around comes around. She will probably lose all of the money and come begging to her ex for more.
Hero? Oh yea, I remember the time Paul saved all those people from drowning. And the time the terrorists were taking over the plane and Paul killed them with his bare hands and landed the plane. Or when Paul was in the war and he took out that machine gun nest. Or the time Paul disarmed the nuke ONE SECOND before it was going to explode and destroy all of NYC.
Hero? Give me a break.....
She did that long before she ever met Paul.
But he was too starry eyed over his new found Linda clone to believe it until:
Heather Mills' Porn Photos Unearthed
12/02/07 - Explicit photographs of Paul McCartney's estranged wife Heather Mills have been unearthed, contradicting her claims that she was never a porn star. The full-frontal snaps show Mills posing on a bed in lacy red corset and stockings with her breasts exposed and her legs spread open to display her private parts.
In the article accompanying the provocative shots, which featured in an X-rated magazine, Mills boasts: "I'm gonna drive you crazy with my body..."
The images, taken before Mills lost her leg in road accident in 1993, will come as a blow to the animal rights campaigner, having recently hit out at the press for describing her glamor modeling past as a career in porn.
She ranted, "They (the media) eliminate the whole 20 years of my life campaigning and put in things like hardcore porn queen."
But the latest expose will come as an embarrassment to Mills, as she has continually insisted she was just a topless model and did not participate an any porn photoshoots.
What do you call sex with a one-legged woman?
I don't. He's a grown man -- well past grown -- and he made a lousy choice. Or maybe Heather made the lousy choice. It's hard to say.
“Mills must have been a really good lay. How else do think McCartney ‘fell in love with her’”?
I think the word “professional” comes to mind when thinking about Heather’s skills in that area.
That's an insult to b*tches.
I never understood what he saw in her; now he’s probably wondering what he saw too. Paul seemed to go kinda whacky after he hooked up with her.
The really interesting story is linked on the same page. It seems that lawyers may replaced in the future.

And that probably only lasted up through the wedding night.
Read the comments left. Everyone comments on how the sleeker “wet” look makes Ms. Shackleton (Sir Paul’s lawyer) looke younger and prettier and she should change her hair style.
Too funny. Heather Mills does something rude and all it does is beautify her enemy. God is an iron.
"$24 mil and she thinks she's got it rough?"
I think the lawyer looked better with the wet hair personally.
It would be a hoot if the lawyer sued her for the amount she “stole” from Paul-the $24 million! If it would have been me she poured water over I think I would have ripped that wood leg off and tossed it as far as I could throw it!!
Sir Paul should use that £100 million to start a trust to fund research into psychosis in “blond” amputees.
I remember one story where she was so mad at Paul because he was mad that she wanted to use a bedpan at night.
She didn't want to bother putting her leg on and didn't want to use crutches.
So she would make the staff get a bedpan for her. What a bitch.
It’s 24 million POUNDS! The ex-Mrs. McCartney received about 50 million dollars.
