Paul McCartney Slogging Through the Mire of Divorce

Poor Sir Paul. He's apparently having "great struggles" with the difficulties of divorce. I can relate. Divorce is difficult on the entire family even under the best of circumstances, and when things are contentious (or when there are millions at stake), it's even worse.

Things seem to be reaching toward settlement, however, and his family has rallied around him for support, bringing them closer together than ever, he says. Now that estranged wife Heather Mills has agreed to stay in the UK with their three-year old daughter Beatrice, instead of finding work abroad (though probably not as a dancer) and taking little Bea with her, Paul is resting more easily. The couple has decided that for Beatrice's sake, battling things out publicly is not the way to go. Good call.

I wish both of them peace and strength as they continue their journey as parents. Laying aside your differences as people for the sake of the children should be much easier than it sometimes is.

Forbes' Top Ten Most Expensive Celeb Divorces

Karen Murphy — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 14:02:00 GMT

As this article says, "The bigger they are, the harder they fall." Certainly that's true in the surreal and convoluted world of celebrities, and adding the weirdness that takes place in divorce, custody, and child support determinations (though I suspect that celebs aren't treated quite like us common folk), it's amazing that these people can even function at all. Or can they? Here's Forbes Magazine's look at the top-ten most expensive celebrity divorces:

1. Michael Jordan, dumping wife of 18 years Juanita Vanoy for half his fortune, or something more than $150M.

2. Neil Diamond (Vegas must have treated him well) to Marcia Murphey, $150M.

3. Steven Spielberg to Amy Irving, $100M.

4. Harrison Ford to Melissa Mathison, $85M.

5. Kevin Costner to Cindy Silva, $80M.

6. Paul McCartney to Heather Mills, $60M (he's got a total of $700M; still, $60M's not bad for a few years' work).

7. James Cameron ("Titanic" director) to Linda Hamilton, $50M.

8. Michael Douglas to Diandra Douglas, $45M.

9. Lionel Ritchie to Diane Ritchie, $20M.

10. Mick Jagger to Jerry Hall for an annulment and not a divorce, $15-25M.

Makes the $200/month child support that I rarely even received for my older daughter look a little light. And what's interesting about this list is that the majority are marriages from early in the celeb's careers, and then after things took off or they reached "that certain age," things fell apart.

And the biggest question on my mind about this is, What about the children??

Paul McCartney Agrees To Make Heather Mills Rich Beyond Her Wildest Dreams-

Alisyn — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 15:14:00 GMT

Sir Paul McCartney, the poor ol' bugger, has agreed to pay his g~~oldbrickin' arch nemesis~~ ex-wife, Heather Mills, a whopping $56 million - that's £29 million - as part of their mutually agreed upon divorce settlement, which also includes real estate property and child support.

Nasty up to the bitter end, sources say Heather used the couple's 3-year-old daughter, Beatrice Milly McCartney, as leverage, to squeeze as much money out of Paul as she possibly could (she was seeking sole custody, which Paul was adamantly against). The settlement amount works out to roughly £696 per hour, for every day that they were married! I bet Paul would pay double that amount just to be able to forget the whole thing ever happened. I mean, it would be one thing if Paul and Heather had been together while he made all his money, but since that's not the case - not by a long shot - it's just kind of sad.

I feel sorry for Paul - after all, it was his idea to forgo the pre-nup, which was a dumb-ass move. Oh, hippies. But he looks like he's on the up and up these days - no more hair dye, or suits worn with "trainers," to pacify his young(ish) wife. And he's got a more important little lady to worry about than "Mucca" - adorable little Bea. I say good luck to the two of them, and good riddance to that other one.
