Death threats in McCartney divorce
LONDON - Heather Mills McCartney accused Paul McCartney of failing to protect her and their 3-year-old daughter from abuse, which she says ranges from lies and slander to death threats.
“Do you fear for your life?” she was asked in a BBC television interview Wednesday.
“Yes I do, yes I do,” she said.
“And you are saying that Paul McCartney does not protect you and your child?”
“I’m afraid not,” Mills McCartney said.
She also appeared earlier in the day on an ITV television morning show, saying she had taken precautions because of death threats.
“I have a box of evidence that’s going to a certain person, should anything happen to me, so if you top me off it’s still going to that person, and the truth will come out,” she said.
On the BBC, she was asked if the tabloids were at fault.
“It’s the tabloids and a certain party, but it is so extreme and so abusive … I mean, I’ve been called monster, whore, gold digger, fantasist, liar.”
“When you say certain party, do you mean someone from Paul McCartney’s camp?” BBC reporter Maxine Mawhinney asked.
“I’m not allowed to talk about Paul and the court case and all that kind of stuff, because we are in court,” Mills McCartney said.
Paul McCartney, 65, declined to respond.
If Lopez is a mom, she’s keeping mum
NEW YORK - Roberto Cavalli has confirmed, perhaps inadvertently, that Jennifer Lopez is pregnant.
Asked what types of clothing he designs for celebrities, the fashion guru told People magazine: “Well Jennifer Lopez, at this moment, she requests something very special because she is waiting for the baby.”
“It is so complicated because every week she is getting bigger,” Cavalli said Tuesday on the magazine’s Web site.
Lopez, 39, has declined to comment.
Britain’s PM nixes “Simpsons” cameo
LONDON - He’s gone to great lengths to shake off his once dour image, but a trip to Springfield is a step too far for British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Brown says he has no plans to follow predecessor Tony Blair’s 2003 cameo appearance on Fox’s “The Simpsons.”
“I think Tony Blair did that; I don’t think that is for me,” Brown said Wednesday.
