Heather Mills hopes to strike it rich in her divorce settlement with Sir Paul McCartney after the failed photographer and one-legged hoofer never quite measured up to First Lady status among the Beatles' women.
Mills ranks well down the list, in fact, coming in behind Yoko Ono, who, by comparison, may now be remembered fondly, even though Ono is credited with breaking up the historic band.
"Mills is a cannibal, trying to rake Sir Paul over the coals," one insider noted. "If she wants to be compensated according to the lifestyle she's been accustomed to, maybe Sir Paul should pay for a handsome cardboard box near the tube, which is pretty much how he found m'lady in the first place."
McCartney said he will do right and take financial care of their four-year-old daughter Beatrice, but Mills doesn't have a leg to stand on as she claims to be a devoted 24/7 mom to the tyke. Mills sped off to America for weeks to become a dancing farce on a wretched reality game show. Mills reportedly left the child at the airport with a couple of sandwiches and said, "Don't forget to watch mum on ABC."
Since Mills' return home, the emotionally scarred child has been afraid to come out from behind the couch, fearing that her mother's spinning dance moves in the living room might uncork the artificial leg, send it flying and bonk her on the head. Mills has supposedly told the child to read herself to sleep at night.
Mills said she needs a considerable amount of money to pay for the death threats she's been receiving, although people close to her said it's hard to have sympathy since she flirts with the callers and makes collages of the letters.
"She tries to answer every letter and set up a date," one of Mills' friends said. "She sends them an autographed picture and tells them she'd like to have dinner and go dancing.
"Personally, I think Heather likes the attention."
