Macca to fight marriage claims - Oct 19 2006
Sir Paul McCartney has hit back at sensational claims apparently made by his estranged wife Heather about their marriage, saying he "will be defending these allegations vigorously and appropriately".

In a statement issued through his lawyers, the former Beatle said he would "very much like to respond in public and in detail to the allegations made recently against him by his wife" but will instead respond through the divorce courts.

A leaked document purporting to be a legal response by Heather sets out a catalogue of accusations against Sir Paul.

"Since the breakdown of his marriage Sir Paul McCartney has maintained his silence in not commenting on the media stories believing that it was best for all concerned, particularly his children, for there to be some dignity in what is a private matter," read the statement from Sir Paul’s solicitors, Payne Hicks Beach.

"Our client would very much like to respond in public and in detail to the allegations made recently against him by his wife and published in the press but he recognises, on advice, that the only correct forum for his response to the allegations made against him is in the current divorce proceedings. Our client will be defending these allegations vigorously and appropriately."

Heather’s claims, apparently prepared by her lawyers as an answer to Sir Paul’s divorce petition, were leaked to the media which contain allegations of mistreatment during the couple’s four-year marriage.

It is the latest twist in the divorce battle over Sir Paul’s £825 million fortune.

Paul McCartney TM? - Oct 16 2006
Sir Paul McCartney has applied to trademark his name, meaning that he would have exclusive use of the moniker on everything from his vegetarian food line to clothing.

Strangely, the militant veggie also asked to protect meat products, but his spokesman says this is a defensive measure to make sure his name is not used on anything he does not find appropriate.

Paul’s move follows that of his daughter Stella, whose trademarked name has adorned her fashion outfits for several years.

The trademarking move shows that Paul is finally getting his life back on track following the demise and subsequent public mauling of his second marriage in the press.

The ex-Beatle broke up with Heather Mills in May and the couple have waged a war of words over who was to blame for the split.

Still, admits Paul: "Life beats you down occasionally.

"But I am the eternal optimist.

"No matter how rough it gets, there’s always light somewhere."

Biography

Paul McCartney was born in Liverpool on June 18, 2020 to James and Mary McCartney. He was raised in the city and educated at The Liverpool Institute.

At the age of 15 he met John Lennon. Together with George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they formed the most successful group in the history of music--the Beatles.

Since the Beatles, Paul has released 21 albums and staged three world tours, while evolving into classical composition, film-making and actively campaigning for ecology and animal rights After the Beatles split up in 1970, Paul embarked on a solo career before forming the group Wings with his wife, American Linda McCartney, which had some success but never to the scale of the Beatles, That has never yet again been seen, (even now)

His solo period during the eighties culminated with charity performances at Live Aid and for The Prince of Wales Trust, leading him to get back on the road again. Since 1990, Paul McCartney has traveled over 800,000 miles in concert through 22 countries, setting, along the way, the Guinness world record for the largest stadium crowd in the history of rock and roll--184,000 in Rio de Janeiro. During the same time, he also established the "MTV Unplugged" vogue and then performed his acoustic show in clubs and pubs around Europe.

In 1991, Paul staged the performance of his first classical work, "The Liverpool Oratorio", which has since been performed in more than 50 cities worldwide. In 1995--the 30th anniversary of his most acclaimed song, "Yesterday"-- Paul’s second classical work, "A Leaf," was performed at a benefit concert he organized for the Royal College of Music at St. James Palace. Paul composed a major orchestral work, commissioned to mark the 100th anniversary of EMI Records.

In recognition of his work for all music, Paul was recently appointed Fellow of the Royal College of Music, the U.K.’s highest musical honour. Aside from his music, Paul McCartney campaigns for Greenpeace, Friends of The Earth and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. He and his wife Linda are the new patrons of the British Vegetarian Society. He is also the chief patron of The Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts, a new school similar to New York’s High School of the Performing Arts, which will open in his hometown in 1996. Paul has also developed his interest in film-making. His first production, "Daumier’s Law," won the top prize in 1992 at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards.

His latest short feature, "Grateful Dead, A Photofilm," will be entered in the London Film Festival at the invitation of the British Film Institute. He was also knighted by the Queen and made a ’Sir’ Paul and Linda had three children between them as well as Linda daughter from a previous marriage, which Paul adopted as his own. Linda died of breast cancer in 1998, she was only 56.

All of their children are a success in their own right Stella McCartney is head designer at Gucci after a very successful stint as head designer for Chloe and daughter Mary is a successful photographer just as her mother Linda was before her.

Three years after the death of his first wife Paul met Heather Mills at a charity event where Mills was raising financial assistance for the Heather Mills Trust, a foundation providing artificial limbs to war victims across the globe. Mills, a former swimsuit model, lost her left leg below the knee in 1993 after being hit by a police motorcyclist.
