Heather Mills McCartney, right, is a control freak, a scheming manipulator and a meat eater who loves to wear fur, according to the sister of Mills’ first husband, Alfie Karmal. Dianna Karmal, former sister-in-law to Paul McCartney’s estranged wife, told the Daily Mirror that Mills “is like a chameleon. She draws in men making them believe she is their perfect dream woman. … She only became vegetarian after meeting Paul. She loved meat. And her anti-fur stance is laughable.”
McCartney hired Prince Charles’ lawyer and Mills hired Princess Diana’s attorney, Anthony Julius, for their proceeding. Julius won Diana $32 million in her divorce settlement; McCartney’s legal team is headed by Fiona Shackleton, who forced Diana to give up her royal title of “HRH.”

Of his kissing scenes with one of Elizabeth Taylor’s husbands, McShane said: “Richard said to me one night, ‘You know I’m very glad you’re playing this part … You remind me of Elizabeth.’ My hair was long and a little darker in those days.”
Robin Williams reportedly checked into the famed Hazelden rehabilitation center in Oregon on July 11, according to the National Enquirer.

Jim Carrey’s Gulfstream V is available to charter for $8,000 an hour, the New York Daily News’ Lloyd Grove reports. Carrey bought the jet for a reported $41 million in early 2001. Trans-Exec Private Jets in Van Nuys, Calif., confirmed the jet, registered to Carrey, is for rent.
