Paul McCartney really must be one of the dumbest dumb fucks in the world if new reports are to be believed surrounding his pre-nup to future wife Nancy Shevell.
You might remember that Paul had a huge divorce battle with Heather Mills that turned very ugly and seen him having to pay her $50 million in the final court ruling. Now he is walking in to his next marriage with no pre-nup again. A source spoke to Popeater saying:
“His friends and business advisers think he’s crazy after what happened with his ex, but Paul is insisting Nancy is no Heather, There’s no need to make marriage a business arrangement. are the perfect couple. And have both had a huge impact on each other. She has once again shown him that falling in love doesn’t have to hurt. This one will last forever, she is the opposite of Heather and hates the public spotlight, plus she doesn’t need his money to live a great life.”
Apparently his legal team have drawn up a single-page agreement that states if the marriage goes south then the only thing she won’t go for is the trust fund he has for his kids. Anything else is up for grabs.
Although the thing that’s working in his favor is that if the marriage does fail she is pretty rich herself, she has her own business in New York and her father, Mike Shevell, is a trucking tycoon and his a huge fortune himself so she doesn’t need Paul’s money.
That’s all well and good but we all know that when people do break up it nearly always goes nasty. I guess love does really make some people blind huh?
The Firsky have come up with a list of 10 celebrity couples who stupidly never had a prenup and because of that have lost money to each other.
Kelsey Grammer and Camille, his wife of 13 years, are getting a divorce and, like so many who’ve eschewed Kanye‘s advice, there was no prenuptial agreement. This is kind of a big deal for Grammer, who was the highest paid actor on television during “Frasier”‘s 11-year run, making $1.6 million an episode towards the end. Grammer is requesting that some of his earnings be declared separate property, but that will only cover the first four years of the show, leaving the last seven years up for a 50/50 split. Plus, Camille is Kelsey’s third wife, so with the history and that psychology degree (just kidding), you’d think he would’ve known better!
Screaming mad Mel Gibson and his ex-wife Robyn got divorced last year, after 28 years of marriage, about three of them separated. And since there was no prenup, Robyn was eligible for 50 percent of Mel’s estimated $900 million that he earned by the time of their separation. Which is probably what she deserves for putting up with him.
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe seemed like a dream couple, but when they got divorced in 2005, the lack of a prenup became a problem for Reese. The actress was pulling in $20 million a movie by that point while Ryan was making around $2.5 million. Under California law, their earnings were split 50/50. On the plus side, their kids are super cute.
It’s kind of shocking that Madonna and Guy Ritchie didn’t have a prenup, considering Madonna’s worth an estimated $500 million. She ended up paying Ritchie between $76 and $92 million in the divorce. Who needs jobs when we can just get divorces?
Ellen Degeneresand Portia de Rossi are the only couple in this slideshow who haven’t gotten divorced! They got married in 2008, and though Ellen is worth around $63 million, it’s been said that she thinks prenups are “unromantic.” I hope they’re always married—they’re super cute together and make me feel warm and fuzzy about marriage.
The Dream and Christina Milian were married for about a year when they announced their separation. They’ve got a baby together now and though Milian is a self-made millionaire, The Dream has a small fortune and sans prenup, Christina is entitled to part of it.
Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold were totally in love in 1990, and Roseanne fired her attorney for suggesting a prenup. But four years later, Arnold walked away from their divorce with $50 million … and a Roseanne tattoo on his chest!
Even though it was Larry King‘s eighth marriage this time around, he didn’t get a prenup with Shawn Southwick. So when he allegedly cheated on her with her sister, his estimated $144 million could have been split 50/50. Thank goodness they’ve reunited—for now.
When Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey got married in 2002, it probably seemed like they had equal earning potential. But when they got divorced three years later, Jessica offered Nick $1.5 million, which he rejected, and ended up forking over “far less” than half of her estimated $36 million income during the time they were married, but “significantly” more than her original offer. Who knew 98 Degrees wasn’t going to last forever?
Everyone urged Paul McCartney to get a prenup when he married Heather Mills, but when they got divorced five years in, she made about $35 million. Plus, McCartney has to pay for their daughter’s nanny and education until she’s 18-years-old which costs $70,000 a year. Maybe Mills and Guy Ritchie should get together and make a Scrooge McDuck money swimming pool?

What the hell has happened to Priscilla Presley? Holy deathmask, Batman!
Here are some photos of the former beauty leaving a Paul McCartney concert at the Hollywood Bowl last week. Her bodyguard/handler looks frightened. I would be too, if my job was to escort the living dead to shows while trying to avoid being bitten. She is terrifying.
Kill it! Kill it with fire!

Paul McCartney returned in grand fashion to the theater that launched his career in Manhattan more than 45 years ago.
It was February of 1964 when The Beatles took the stage on The Ed Sullivan Show and sent the nation into a frenzy that would become “Beatlemania.” This time around, however, McCartney passed on the stage for this performance, and instead took the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater with a surprise performance on the marquee for Wednesday’s taping of the Late Show with David Letterman.
Thousands of fans packed the streets outside the theater to see the legend’s spectacular return to his roots, a rare opportunity now with McCartney preparing to kick off what he’s said will be his final tour.”

Paris Hilton approached Paul McCartney backstage at the Grammys (No, she hasn’t given up on the idea yet) and asked him to consider singing a duet with her.
The former Beatle apparently looked bemused at the request, and said he’d have to check his schedule. Hilton also complimented McCartney on his “cute” hair.
According to The Sun Heather Mills is stupid for many reasons, blowing through $20 million over $50 million divorce settlement is one of them.
Mills was awarded the money in her divorce with Paul McCartney back in March but so far she has spent $19 million on her home which includes a $5 million apartment in New York City, $6 million on other homes and $2 million “that her boyfriend Jamie Walker, 36, is building at her request, although he is recovering from a broken leg.”
On top of this she has paid her staff about $500,000 and donated $1 million in vegetarian food to children in the Bronx.
A source said “Heather’s been moaning her money isn’t going as far as she thought, but she’s just burning her way through it. She reckons she has spent £10million since the divorce and still doesn’t have a finished house to live in. She hasn’t changed. In her eyes the whole world is against her.”
What the hell? I can’t even conceive the idea of spending that much money in such a little time and what kids want vegetarian food donated to them?
Sir Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono are furious after a new book they helped with accuses John Lennon of wanting a gay relationship with Macca.

But she and Macca are now distancing themselves from it and Yoko has withdrawn her endorsement. A friend said: “Both Sir Paul and Yoko are extremely angry and upset.”

Fame and fortune doesn’t necessarily always turn celebrities into financial fools. While frugality may not be the biggest Hollywood trend, there are a few celebrities who can pinch a penny with the best of us — and we’re not just talking about getting snapped by the paparazzi stocking up on party munchies at Costco every once in a while.
Eva Longoria
The Frugal Facts: Her wedding in 2007 reportedly cost $1.5 million, but this ‘Desperate Housewives’ star still scored a lot of freebies to give to her 200 guests: Van Cleef & Arpel 18K yellow gold charm bracelets, and L’Oreal, Cole Haan, and Bebe products were a few. She says the frugal gene runs in her family, explaining that her dad would take her and her three siblings camping with no food. “He would tell us that we could live off the land. I can skin a deer, a pig, a snake … ”
Tyra Banks
The Frugal Facts: Despite a fortune estimated at $75 million, this 34-year-old is an avowed penny pincher. “I am frugal,” she said in a June 1 ‘New York Times Magazine’ profile. “I’ve always been this way. When I was young, my mom would give me my allowance, and I’d peel off a little each week and have some to spare. ” Banks’s culinary tastes runs toward Cheesecake Factory, and is known to stock up on hotel soap.
Sarah Jessica Parker
The Frugal Facts: Contrary to Parker’s character in ‘Sex and the City,’ the 43-year-old isn’t such a slave to fashion. In fact, she used to get sick from buyer’s remorse and return items the next day. Explaining that her family went through a time when they were on welfare, Parker says of her son, “Just because mommy and daddy are rich and famous, that doesn’t mean he should ride the gravy train through life … I want [James] to be normal.”
Mick Jagger
The Frugal Facts: Jagger reportedly pulled out of buying a painting by bandmate Ron Wood because the $140,000 price tag “scared him off.” His ex-wife, model Jerry Hall, complained, “He always wanted me to pay for everything to do with the house and the children. He’s generous with gifts and presents, but yeah, he’s pretty tight with the day-to-day stuff.” He explains that he was taught as a child to be frugal: “We don’t like to throw computers away as soon as they don’t work — apart from out of the window in frustration. We like cars to be repaired instead of junked.”
Paul McCartney
The Frugal Facts: Paul McCartney is worth more than $1 billion, but he’s not likely to advertise it. At a birthday party for his ex-wife, he made the guests pay for their drinks. Even his fashion designer daughter, Stella, reportedly called him “a tight bastard” for sending her and her three siblings to local state schools rather than posh private ones. Nor is he resting on his investments.
Tobey Maguire
The Frugal Facts: Even after his price jumped up to $26 million a picture thanks to three ‘Spider Man’ mega-hits, Maguire is usually snapped wearing lived-in t-shirts and jeans. “You know those Lotto winners, who win big and blow through all that money? That would never happen to me,” says Maguire, who credits his poverty-stricken childhood as the impetus for his quest for financial security. “I just never wanted to put myself in the position where my spending was so huge that I had to keep making movie after movie.”
Halle Berry
The Frugal Facts: Halle Berry can make a fashion designer millions simply by wearing a gown on a red carpet. After all, she’s one of the world’s most photographed women. Still, this fashion icon would sooner hit the sales racks than fly to Paris for a couture fitting. Berry, whose mom struggled to raise her and her older sister after their father walked out when she was four, is an unabashed saver. “I am pretty frugal,” say the twice-divorced Oscar winner and new mom. “I save a lot because I’m always worried about when this trip is going to stop. So I’m saving for that day so I can have a life that is secure and comfortable.”
Jay Leno
The Frugal Facts: Despite his huge fortune, the only flashy thing about Leno is his collection of cars and motorcycles. “When I was a kid … I had one job which the money went in the bank and the other job that I lived off of,” he said in 2004. “I still do that to this day. I have yet to touch a dime of my Tonight Show salary. I live off the money I make as a comedian … Maybe it comes from having parents who grew up during the Depression.” Yet, While Conan O’Brien offered to cover the salaries of pink-slipped staffers during the writers’ strike, Leno only did so after being shamed by all the bad press.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
The Frugal Facts: Growing up, money was tight at Sarah Michelle Gellar’s house, especially when her dad walked out she was just six. Now after soap opera and movie fame, the New York native remains careful about her money. “I take my reusable bag to Whole Foods so I get a discount,” Sarah told Self magazine in 2007. “I go to Bloomingdale’s on double reward days. And I always print my dry cleaning coupons before I go. The main thing I want to do is make sure that I can take care of myself and my mother,” she said in 2000.
Leonardo DiCaprio
The Frugal Facts: Other than shelling out $2.5 million for an island near Belize in 2005, the environmental activist tends to live on the cheap. “I don’t pay lavish expenses,” he has said. “I don’t fly private jets. I still have only one car, and that’s a Toyota Prius. I don’t spend money on a lot. Money is very important to me because it allows me the freedom to choose what I want to do as an actor and most importantly because I want to accumulate enough so that one day I can do something really great and beneficial for other people, for the environment or for children.”
Heather Mills walked the red carpet at the 2008 Miss USA Pageant — the crowd booed her. As if that wasn’t embarrassing enough — her boobs were crooked!
The former model’s overzealous attempt to lift and separate turned heads for all the wrong reasons over the weekend.
But the night went from bad to worse for the 39-year-old, was later booed and jeered as she was introduced on the judging panel.
Heather has previously claimed that public opinion of her in the US was “99 per cent positive,” and was left visibly upset when part of the audience at the Planet Hollywood hotel began to heckle as she took to the stage with hosts Donny and Marie Osmond.
The bad news for us? It looks like the rumors are true and Heather plans to move to the United States.
“In England, people don’t like me. But I’m going to move to America, Los Angeles hopefully. I love England but everything that has happened makes me realize I’ll be better off in the States.”
Her appearance at the beauty pageant came just days after she launched an astonishing tirade against Sir Paul McCartney and “his three girlfriends” on GMTV, saying: “I wish all the girls the best of luck. Better them than me.”
I fear for this woman’s life.

Paddling in the azure waters of the Caribbean with a stunning new girlfriend at his side, these are the pictures which show Paul McCartney is well and truly over Heather Mills.
Sir Paul jetted off on a romantic break with wealthy American socialite Nancy Shevell just seven days after his divorce from Heather was finalized.
Shevell is a member of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board, to which she was appointed in 2001 by then-governor George Pataki. She is also a vice president of her family’s business, New England Motor Freight, based in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
This post is dedicated to the sheer pleasure of annoying Heather.

The details of the Heather Mills and Paul McCartney’s divorce trial are spilling into the media with fervor. After the dirty pirate hooker’s gold-digging entrepreneur paid off yesterday, the High Court judge was not shy in his feelings towards Mills. While Judge Bennett made his ruling, he was steadfast in his opinion that Heather and her claim “is and was unreasonable, indeed exorbitant,’ He also called her evidence “not just inconsistent and inaccurate but also less than candid. Overall she was a less than impressive witness.”
To add to her already unlikable and immature character, Heather dumped water over Paul McCartney’s lawyer. Fiona Shackleton saved the former Beatle millions and made a strong case against Mills. In retaliation to Fiona’s defense strategy Heather dumped water over her head in some sort of in-court baptism/revenge. Unless Shackleton is made out of sugar this proved nothing but the fact that Mills is a complete moron and lacks the courage to be the better person. (Now that you have your scratch, please buy some dignity and someone to do your thinking for you. )
England may get a much needed/wanted break from Heather. She has hired Gloria Allred to represent her in America. In what is a hypocritical move for Mills, she plans to utilize the service of the well known legal pariah and cross the pond.
“With at least $33 million burning a hole in her pocket, Heather Mills has hired Gloria Allred to be her advocate in the United States. Gloria, who says she’s honored to represent Heather, tells PageSix.com, “Heather was delighted with the outcome today. It was about justice. Heather was a winner before she met Paul, and she will continue to be a winner. I admire Heather for her charity work.â€
Sweet mother of all that is sacred in this world! Keep her over there. We don’t want her! Although if the U.N is willing to barter…if they take Mariah Carey, Tom Cruise and Paris Hilton….we’ll take Mills.

I would be to if my gold digging investment just paid off. Mills was awarded almost $50 million in her divorce settlement with Paul McCartney.
The trial has been a drawn out process spanning over every dramatically point including phantom limb issues. After the court made is decision Mills happily told reporters that she was giddy.
“I am so glad it’s over. It was an incredible result in the end to secure my and my daughter’s future. And that of all the charities I plan on helping and making a difference with.â€
The two share a daughter, Beatrice, who will be taken care of by Mills. She is pissed that her daughter only gets $70,000 a year and says the income is meager and lower class.
“Beatrice only gets $70,000 a year so she is obviously meant to travel B class while her father travels A class. But obviously I will pay for that.”
Yeah, I am sure Bea will be going to school wearing dirty old pillow cases on that. Because the rest of us all crawl around like vermin on a $70k a year income. Now that you have further insulted everyone, why don’t you go take your millions and buy a new peg-leg you dirty pirate hooker. Money can’t buy class. Just an FYI.
