Heather Mills McCartney Sues Newspapers Oct 24 11:13 AM US/Eastern
By TARIQ PANJA Associated Press Writer
Heather Mills McCartney's lawyers said Tuesday she is suing two newspapers over "false, damaging and immensely upsetting" stories surrounding her divorce from Paul McCartney. The law firm Mishcon de Reya named the Daily Mail and London's Evening Standard as the subject of legal proceedings, adding that a suit will also be filed against The Sun.
Associated Newspapers, publishers of the Daily Mail and the Evening Standard, had no immediate response.
Mills McCartney had been vilified in the media and was now being stalked by photographers, the firm said. It alleged that other newspapers had also printed false statements but the three listed would be the focus of the lawsuit.
"She cannot sue _ for now, at least _ every single newspaper that has published false, damaging, and immensely upsetting statements about her. She should not thereby be taken to have accepted that these statements are true," the statement read.
The McCartney divorce has become the most sensational marital breakup since Prince Charles and Princess Diana parted ways a decade ago, sparking immense rivalry in the British press for the best scoop.
Last week, the Daily Mail splashed its front page with what appeared to be legal papers drafted by Mills McCartney's lawyers against the former Beatle that alleged drug use, drunkenness, callousness about his wife's amputated leg, indifference to her pain, and even an assault with a broken wine glass.
Mills McCartney's lawyers said British media claims that she has been offered a $56 million settlement by her husband are false and "the truth is that no settlement offer, in any amount, has been made."
"She is pursued everywhere she goes. She is stalked by press photographers, who congregate outside her home and chase after her in cars _ regardless of her safety or the safety of her daughter," her lawyers said.
Mishcon de Reya issued a copy of a letter, apparently from The Mail on Sunday's investigations editor Dennis Rice, offering Heather's sister Fiona a "substantial sum" for information about the divorce.
It said the letter was hand-delivered and promised anonymity.
"It requires no imagination to conclude what kind of information was being sought from our client's closest confidante, nor why the assurance of confidentiality was believed to be necessary," the statement said. "We ask on behalf of our client for the media, as a matter of common decency, please now to show some restraint."
Give her a dollar and a kick in the pants.
Oh yeah...this is the former model with the drop-dead leg.
keep on digging Heather...very soon, you won't be able to see over your own B.S.

She doesn't have a leg to stand on.
These papers are good. They went back 10-20 years and made her pose for the porn photos.
She's hopping mad.
groan.
Psycho alert.
Is she going to also sue the porn distrubutors and the photographers who took her topless pictures? She should blame them equally for her downfall. We all know it wasn't her intention to be seen in the nude. /sarc
Well, now we'll actually get to see how a "one-legged (wo)man does in an ass-kicking contest".
well good luck and er....break a leg, honey.
LOL!!!
You know, I was waiting for someone with a low sense of humor to post that. I could just see it coming. I says to myself, "Myself, if you don't get it in gear and post that pun, someone will beat you to it."
But noooo, I had to stop and pick my nose ....
That oughtta learn ya! :)
Hey, I'm just making the puns millions of illegals refuse to make. We've got standards to maintain, people!
What has three legs and sleeps in the woods?
The McCartney's on a camping trip!
The lawyers will be the only winners in this. What on earth was Paul thinking with no pre-nup? Payback is brutal.
She was barely tolerated as an obvious golddigger before the breakup.
She will be forever hated in the UK and stalked forever by the UK paparazzi who will stop at nothing to get shots that will embarrass her.
Her only hope is winning a big enough settlement to buy her own island.
