Surely not?

I don’t normally go down this road and quite frankly don’t really want to get into this but I do feel compelled to make a short comment regarding Paul’s ex wife’s plan to write a book! Sky News and other sources report that she is planning to write a book about a famous model who marries “the biggest rock star in the world” with insiders claiming that it will be released as a work of fiction – for which incidentally, I believe she has qualification in abundance.
I mean, come on here!
According to Sky, commentators have said it could help her “side step the court order banning her from discussing her marriage to Paul”. It simply beggars belief that she would want to do anything else but disappear with the divorce booty and live on a very small and tiny island, close the door behind her and hope that the world would forget her. But no! Instead, a good idea would be to write a thinly veiled story about her short and lucrative time with the Beatles bass player! I don’t mean to sound unkind but my hope is that if such a book is planned and subsequently published that it sinks without trace. Unfortunately, in the world we live in, such a book will fly off the shelves at speeds hitherto unmeasured. I was never a fan of the lady from the moment I clapped eyes on her and thought I’d seen it ALL when I watched her live TV appearance on GMTV couch just before the divorce proceedings started in earnest, but this takes it to a new and even frightening level. Paul must be beside himself. She appears to be a loose cannon and worse, a loose cannon with huge funds intent on revenge.
I pretty sure that Paul (like everyone else) is no saint but I’m also pretty sure he just doesn’t deserve the kind of outcome and publicity that his ex wife helped him achieve though I do have faith that most people will see such a publication for it's true value.

I expect Paul's lawyers are already on the case ! I don't expect it to see the light of day.

Everyone knows she's a few French Fries short of a Happy Meal

:-D

Greeting from rain-sodden Wales my old friend!

She is obviously barking mad! Rather than threaten her with the old legals though, Paul should beat her to the punch with his own book! A totally fictional novel about a world famous, left-handed bassist who marries a fourth-rate model cum self-styled charity worker, only to later discover her secret history as the Shiek Of Araby's own personal call girl, along with the revelation that she is to marriage what Glenn Close was to fidelity & rabbit hugging.

Actually, now I'm think about it, Macca could make the book into a film! A long awaited sequel!! Anyone for "Give My Regards To Fraud Street"? No?!? Oh, come on!! As long as he doesn't re-work "Heather" from "Driving Rain" with a pick up band featuring ex-members of Toto or Rockpile I'll watch it! 8-)

(To be clear, Rockpile are cool & I have no real issue with Toto either! I'm just in a strange mood...)

Seriously though, someone should whisper in her ear that it's time to crawl under a rock & stay there...

On a brighter note, glad to see that Macca can dodge the traffic when he really needs to:

All the best mate, speak soon! 8-)
