Heather Mills' dad says she's greedy
Heather Mills' bid to win millions from Sir Paul McCartney in their bitter divorce settlement has been slammed by her own father as 'greedy'.
Mark Mills claims his 40-year-old former porn star daughter has been offered a fortune and he urged her to settle months ago.
"He's offered her multi-millions," said Mark. "She should take that and stop what she's doing. It's plenty."
Meanwhile, Sir Paul, 65, is reportedly set to release the Beatles back catalog online - which is likely to help pay for his multi-million-dollar divorce.
The singles and albums will reportedly be made available on Apple's iTunes in the coming months following the final divorce hearing, due to take place at the High Court in 10 days.
Heather, dubbed Mucca by British tabloids due to her porn past, is expected to receive between $40 million and $60 million in a cash settlement following four years of marriage to the former Beatle.
The sale of Beatles records online will be a huge windfall for Sir Paul, Ringo Starr and the families of John Lennon and George Harrison.
Containing albums such as Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the White Album and Help!, it will be by far the most prized music catalog released via the internet, worth up to $400 million, according to some estimates.
A source close to Paul said today: "I reckon the Beatles catalog will go on this year."
McCartney's solo catalog has been available for download since last May but the Beatles' recordings will be far more valuable. The bitter divorce was played out over six days behind closed doors at London's High Court last month. Sir Paul's legal and professional expenses alone are likely to cost about $10 million.
His legal team - including Fiona Shackleton - the same lawyer who assisted Prince Charles during his divorce from Princess Diana in 1996 - is understood to have argued in court that Paul is worth a lot less than the $1.6bn million that has been widely reported. Ms Mills, a former model who has represented herself in court, argued he was worth much more than that.
Mr Justice Bennett's judgment on 17 March - expected to be made public at least in part - is likely to take into account McCartney's earnings during their four year marriage but also his future income, which will be hugely inflated by the deal with iTunes, owned by Apple Computers.

Paul won't really suffer
Paul won't really suffer money-wise but I hope he can still find some happiness in his life. He, along with John, George and Ringo, made living in the 1960's so much fun with their music, humour, and style. But, please, Paul, if in the future you think you may want to marry again, remember, pre-nup, pre-nup, pre-nup!
Heather Mills can certainly
Heather Mills can certainly retire without any pain, and she can buy any boyfriends time with all Paul McCartney's wealth in a divorce settlement. I wonder if she'll live at St. John's or where? I can see it now, a lady and mansion and her bo friend living togther. I'm wandering what car she'll buy for her lover, a rolce royce would be nice and his time spent taking care of the gardens and speeding around town with her. I'm really anxious to see the future on this lady!
John Lennon fathered two
John Lennon fathered two sons -- one with Cynthia Lennon and one with Yoko Ono. Where did this idea that he had a daughter come from?
Interesting comment above
Interesting comment above about a legitmate heir of lennon's. Now I'd have her also beware of death threats, and all the ego manics out there who are out for fame by shooting a super star like her dad. She could end up like Heather getting death threats and going psycho,too. It would be her best interest to follow Yuko's anti-establishment agenda, be known as a vulgar bitch, and end it all! Fans destroy idols, and each Beatles wife and family developed an agenda to survive.
Very interesting. I didn't
Very interesting. I didn't know John Lennon had a daughter. I don't like the secretive nature of the English Family Court system because enormous injustice occurs and the 'officers of the court' are effectively unaccountable. We all make mistakes, and the best thing we can do is not judge and trust that things will come out in the wash. Having money is no guarantee of happiness. John Lennon's daughter has his genes and her mother's. She can write her own page in history. Of course she should inherit what is her due and I hope she is able to at least tell her story.
Somehow the above comment
Somehow the above comment about Linda McCartney doesn't feel very good. She is and always will be a true love Paul,Mary,Stella,James, and the step daugher Heather. You are not laid to rest, but enter the Pearly Gates of Heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What do you mean in this
What do you mean in this article, that Judge Bennet will award Heather even more money based on a new Beatle catalogue of music on interent? Are you kiddling! With economic problems at ever end of the globe, disasters, murders, population problems, kids in London not going to their chosen schools, and then Heather Mills gets even more money from Sir Paul! Are you crazy or what! Parents should hold out the law when the child requests to marry. Future dowrys must never be less that a billion? Never let a child marry without a billionair's wealth. Guess that leaves the majority of the world's population out ! The only problem now is that we hate Heather Mills! But with all the money she's getting in this divorce, I am certain she will start stacking up friends in no time at all after the divorce. Miss Mills will be a welcome guest in every home in Britain except Stella McCartney's.
From God's lips to your ears
From God's lips to your ears a father doesn't lie about his daughter. Enough said.
Michael "the Total Weirdo Pedophile" Jackson and ViaCom Int'l. are also waiting with bated breath for the Beatles catalog to go to iTunes. Both own the publishing rights to the songs which is a much larger share than the performance royalties the group will share.
The Beatles are anticipating $400 million in initial revenues, plus a few pennies for every 99 cent download until the copyrights expire sometime in the middle of the century.
The perpetual money making machine will thrust Macca further into the stratosphere of the richest individuals on the planet. It is the reason Mucca tried to stall and extort as much money out of him while she could.
Even if she comes out with $100 million, it will still be "bus fare" to Sir Moneybags.
Hi, Thank you for the
Hi,
Thank you for the comment above where you say the daughter of John Lennon should get her inheritance. I must say this is not really about money. This was a devastating thing that happend to her 20 years ago. Can you imagine finding out that the father who raised you all these years is not your father but John Lennon is? This was an upseting shock to this woman. She did alot of crying behing closed doors. Let's face it she was afraid to come out because she would be put in the same spot like the new found Kennedy son. Only a few years ago did she find out Lennon wrote her in his will. She couldn't believe it until she went to surrogate court. She cannot come out until this inheritance date comes due. It looks like sometime this year. Michael Jackson knows what he must do. He is holding her secret inheritance. When you read May Pang statements, she says that she has some surprises coming soon. The surprise is that she helped John Lennon through depression because the mother of this daughter would not let her see him. No amount of money could make up for the torture this poor nice woman went through. The years of secrecy that led to panic attacks and resentment toward her mother. Like the Kennedy guy she looks alot like John Lennon. Of course she will need her DNA test when the inheritance in announced because she wants a corrected birth certificate. She is American. This will be very emotional and she will do some crying on air. Now look at Spitzer's story. No one is immune to their sins. God is very powerful and he makes sure things come out guaranteed. Also, see how Julian Lennon and Sean Lennon are now reunited. They know the daughterr will inherit. He patched up the 8 year seperation because of fighting between them caused by Yoko Ono. Julian wants to know his sister and wants the truth to come out. See pictures of him arm and arm with Sean in June 2007. You know something big is coming.
I will be glad when Paul's
I will be glad when Paul's divorce challenge is "laid to rest" and he can go on without the constant distraction and stress of his relationship with his future Ex.
Linda had her own wealth and was
a great woman in her own right and it's hard to believe that she's been gone 10 years now...
