10 Nastiest Celebrity Divorces

8. Sir Paul McCartney And Heather Mills (2002-2006)

This marriage lasted a fair bit longer than the last entry, but when it fell apart, it fell apart BIG time. McCartney and Mills met at the Dorchester Hotel, during the Pride of Britain Awards event in April 1999 and were married 4 years after the death of his first wife Linda. For a while everything seemed to be going along well. At least, there were no reports of any problems or speculation. Mills gave birth to Milly McCartney in 2003 although she suffered a miscarriage in the first year of their marriage. In 2006 the couple separated and soon Mills was giving interviews that would fan the fires. She stated the breakup of the marriage rested on the shoulders of McCartney's daughter Stella who she described as "jealous" and "evil"." She further accused McCartney of emotional and physical abuse. This lead to damning reports about Mills as well, claiming she had once been a call girl. In the end the presiding judge doubted the veracity of Mills' claims (seriously, this is British 'royalty' she was accusing!) The divorce was finalized in 2008 and Mills was awarded £16.5m, together with assets of £7.8m, which included the properties she owned at the time, and not the £125 million she had asked for. Tough break.

A self professed Stephen King/Star Wars geek and pop culture neophyte, Scott tends to spend much of his time alone pondering life's greatest mysteries.....he also depends heavily on his son Liam, a great sounding board, to set him straight on Star Wars issues and gives him advice on what EXACTLY he's doing wrong.
