Paul McCartney Files For Divorce

Paul McCartney Files For Divorce

Paul McCartney has finally filed for divorce from his estranged wife Heather Mills McCartney, according to British news reports. The former Beatle is allegedly citing unreasonable behavior, but his wife of four years is vowing to fight the case vigorously in both Britain and America. 

“Heather’s going to be filing her own counterclaims about matters both in this country and America,” her U.K. rep said. Because there is no pre-nuptial agreement, at stake is a share of the 64-year-old musician’s fortune – estimated to top $1.5 billion – along with the custody of their 2-year-old daughter, Beatrice.

Mel Gibson Arrested for DUI

Mel Gibson Arrested for DUI

Mel Gibson was arrested for a driving under the influence early Friday morning in Malibu, according to the booking report. 

Gibson, 50, was pulled over on the Pacific Coast Highway, sheriff’s spokesperson Steve Whitmore tells CNN. Officers on patrol said Gibson was driving at an “excessively fast speed,” according to Whitmore.

“The investigation is ongoing,” Whitmore told the Associated Press. “As we would do with anyone, we don’t want to release any more since the information is fragmentary.”

Idols Hang Out with the President

American Idol Hang out with President

American Idol winner Taylor Hicks and his fellow finalists, including runner-up Katherine McPhee, visited the White House Friday – but President Bush provided the entertainment. 

“We gave him some presents,” Idol’s Ace Young says. “On behalf of Taylor winning, we gave him a harmonica that said American Idol on it that he attempted to play. He didn’t sound bad! And Taylor gave him a Soul Patrol T-shirt and he said it’ll be his new jogging shirt. And I gave him an Ace beanie. He said it’s a little too hot for the beanie, but he’ll save it for winter.”
