Celebrity Divorces: Mills/McCartney and Guy/Madonna.
Poor Heather Mills. I'm sure she took the news of Madonna and Guy's divorce personally. How DARE they steal her "Biggest Celebrity Divorce of the Year" crown *stomps foot*...
Despite going on GMTV to talk about her scrapbook and generally act unhinged (I reckon that was the point at which Fiona decided it was time to retire), representing herself in court while sporting split personality suits, and dousing Fiona Shackleton's bouffant with water, Mills STILL managed to get €24 million for herself. It wasn't anywhere near what she was expected to get (well, perhaps she should've turned up to court with a lawyer instead of her "personal trainer and her make-up artist) but she seemed happy enough. She even pledged a wedge of it to charity…
Madonna was marginally better behaved during her divorce with Guy - apart from the odd inappropriate comment made during her concerts. She paid her former husband around £50m as part of their divorce settlement. Her spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg told The Associated Press the figure included the value of the couple's Ashcombe home in England and the Mayfair boozer. Liz said: "I'd assume it's one of the largest payouts ever in a divorce." Guy wasn't thrilled about this (would you blame him considering the kudos he initially received from the press for not taking a penny?) and actually got Madonna to retract the statement later that week.
Sir Paul is happy with his new girlfriend, Nancy Shevell. Heather was last rumoured to be dating some younger holiday rep (that was some time ago, however) and presumed single now. Guy Ritchie was last linked with Hugh Grant's ex, Jemima Khan, while Madonna's reportedly splitting her time between A-Rod and some Brazilian model called Jesus.
