McCartney's Estranged Wife Berates Rich

DUBLIN, Ireland (Nov. 21) - Heather Mills McCartney, who is reportedly seeking millions of dollars in her breakup with Paul McCartney , denounced the world's rich as misers and snobs Wednesday.

Mills McCartney delivered the critical comments during her 90-minute speech to the debating society of Trinity College Dublin.

Former model Mills McCartney, 39, married the 65-year-old music legend in 2002 and gave birth to the couple's only child, Beatrice, a year later. But the couple separated last year, and McCartney filed for divorce alleging "unreasonable behavior" by his wife.

Mills McCartney said she was reluctantly obliged to befriend the world's wealthy because that was the only way to maximize her power as an agent for change.

"Sadly, you have to mix at a certain level of people to raise the level of funds you need to bring about the greater good," she said. "Because people are very snobby. These people who have lots of money, they're either snobby or they're stingy. If you have lots of money, you have to be stingy - because why would you want that amount of money?"

I think of all the things Paul McCartney has to be thankful for today, the greatest is not being married to her anymore.

Paul McCartney's personal wealth is estimated at $1.6 billion. British press reports have speculated that McCartney has offered his wife around $50 million, while she is seeking at least double that amount.

I love to be preached to by an unqualified nitwit with a predisposition of self importance.

I take it, then, that the divorce proceedings are not going well...?

It’s sad that their child will have to be raised by, and have her perceptions molded by this bitter, gold-digging bimbo.

It would be nice if McCartney could get full custody.

Sir Paul obviously forgot to abide the most important corollary to Murphy’s Law: “Never go to bed with anyone crazier than yourself.”

Probably worth paying her the $100M just to make her go away and keep her trap shut.

That rat milk commment has to rank right up there with Sheryl Crow’s single square of toilet paper comment in level of ridiculous.

November 21, 2007 — RAT-milk maven Heather Mills and her batty new mouthpiece, Michele Elyzabeth, are on a rampage, swearing to permanently cut off any news media outlet that dares make fun of Mills.

“Heather married Paul McCartney, period. It’s not going away. And during this divorce they [the media] will need access and are not going to get it,” Elyzabeth told Page Six yesterday. “They are [bleep]holes. There are limits and they make fun of her. They’ve crossed the line.”

Elyzabeth - who has taken to videoblogging about McCartney’s peg-legged ex with her flamboyant hairdressing friend, David Paul, and her lapdog, Bijou - said her latest beef is over the way some news organizations covered a statement Mills made Sunday in London’s Hyde Park.

(snip)

Elyzabeth, who has had her own sanity questioned for staunchly defending Mills, said, “I’m so happy doing this, I’ll take what comes my way. They want to take me down? I’ll take them down with me.”

She was a high priced callgirl/model before Paul. She is still whoring... for sympathy and 400 million in a divorce settlement.
