Oh Heather Mills, perhaps you think a little too highly of yourself? Apparently, at least, according to the gossip-mongers at Page Six, Paul McCartney’s soon-to-be ex-wife Heather Mills is shopping a biopic about her life story around Hollywood and she wants petite southern belle Reese Witherspoon to play her.
Mills apparently flew to L.A. for preliminary meetings last week – the script was apparently shelved when she and Macca were in civil negotiations, but when those divorce proceedings fell apart the script was evidently, “dusted off pretty quickly.”
According to the Post’s gossip, Mills wants McCartney to play her and sees her story as “the tragic and empowering story of a young model who loses her leg, overcomes her difficulties and marries her prince. But the most interesting part of the tale will be the dark goings-on behind closed doors.”
Eeesh, so is Mills gonna dish about all the Beatles’ personal doings? Poor Paul. He might be stinking rich, but the man still has feelings. He recently said going through divorce was like, “going through hell.”
We suppose it’s easy to sympathize with a Beatle, but if Mills is actually going through with this kind of exploitative biopic, it’s easy to side with someone who counters with, “The only solution is to remain dignified. If I don’t keep a silence about it, I lose this idea of being dignified.”
Update: Mills is now denying this report. Maybe she realized it sounded pretty crass.
