1. her resentment? how do you compete with a Beatle?

pretty much the most famous rock band in history.

[MessiahRp]

2. "her resentment at his superior fame"

Um, why marry a former member of the biggest band in the history of music if you can't handle their popularity and fame?

3. And here is how it happened....

Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begings
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her hankerchief
Quietly turing the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free...

(couldn't resist -- and, of course, Paul will be fine)

4. No pre-nup.

And she's got the kid. Can you say "set for life"?

[caledesi]

5. Never liked her. She always seemed like such a "cold" persom

to me.

[tishaLA]

7. She was on Martha Stewart's show one day

and she was so incredibly brittle--she is the first person I have ever seen who made Martha seem like a warm, earth mother type.

20. Wow! That is saying a lot; I went to a Paul McCartney concert

a few years back. What an entertainer! Anyhow, Heather was in the audience and looked as bored as can be and just so distanced from the whole thing.

6. ummmm.... And we care about these peoples' personal lives why? n/t

[DeepModem Mom]

8. I thought their high-profile activism for causes many of us champion...

activism which they did together, made this news here.

9. I sure don't give a fuck

13. Thank you.

Let them move on with their lives as they see fit. This obsession with famous people is just sad.

On the other hand, I did click on this thread so what does that say about me? I guess everyone's a hypocrite in the end. :shrug:

[DeepModem Mom]

15. I think there's a difference in this couple, who were high -profile...

activists together, and, for example, Britney Spears, who endangers her baby in an improper carseat, or Nicole Kidman becoming engaged -- two stories I wouldn't think of posting here. We'll no longer have these two people working together for various causes, and maybe that's news to some here.

[caledesi]

21. Because we are shallow as hell and need a life. nt

[medeak]

10. Poor Olberman is going to be forced to report on this n/t

[cyberswede]

11. he's 63...

...maybe she told him she wouldn't still need and feed him when he's 64...

:)

14. She had to be quick

It's on June 18th.

12. ineresting how the word "uxorious" is defined as "foolishly devoted to

one's wife" as though this were somehow a bad thing.

anybody know if there is an equvalent word for being "foolishly devoted to one's husband", as I could not find one.

[saracat]

16. Wow! Why was this deleted? I thought this was an interesting story!

Paul seems to have a predeliction for golddiggers. Interesting. Anyone remember Jane asher? It is too bad they didn't marry.

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. She married Gerald Scarfe, the artist for Pink Floyd's The Wall

She still acts a bit. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0038870/bio She's almost more famous for running a cake-making business in Britain these days.

19. I self-deleted. I'm ill and grumpy today...

and got in a little snit because so many were so offended that I posted this story about "celebs" they don't care about. I saw this couple not only as celebrities, but as activists for causes many of us believe in. I assume the post was alerted in LBN, and sent to the Lounge -- making it possibly the first story from the Washington Post Foreign Service, running as a major story on the WP, to be relegated to the Lounge.
