Okay, the McCartney divorce trial is going to be the show of the century, looks like. Check this latest bit:

Allegations McCartney Brutalized Wife
Posted Oct 18th 2006 11:44AM by TMZ Staff
A London newspaper claims a divorce document filed by Heather Mills, Paul McCartney’s estranged wife, alleges that the former Beatle attacked her during their marriage. The legal papers also allegedly say McCartney was often drunk or high on drugs during the four-year union.

The Evening Standard reports Mills filed a 13-page petition with the court in London, alleging, among other things, that McCartney “would not let her have an antique bedpan under their bed to save her crawling to the bathroom at night.” The newspaper reports Mills also alleges that Sir Paul forced her to cook dinner for him every night, even when she was “on crutches with a broken pelvic plate.”

The Evening Standard cites an allegation that McCartney “stabbed her with a wine bottle.” (Story.)

None of us were there, and hey, sometimes people act really differently when nobody is looking. So the charges could be true, I guess. Although based on what those who have spent time around Lady Mac have to say, it seems more likely that she was the stabber.

In any case, do these charges ring true? Can you actually believe that Paul slapped Heather around and made her crawl to the loo?

There’s more:

The Daily Mail reports that Mills claims in the documents that McCartney attacked her four times during their four-year marriage. The Daily Mail cites an allegation that McCartney allegedly choked Mills, “forbade her from having an operation because it clashed with his holiday plans and called her an ‘ungrateful bitch’.”

Well, okay. I can maybe believe that last bit.

These are wonderful times for the tabloids, no?
