Heather Mills loves the freedom she is now enjoying since her divorce from Paul McCartney.

The former model – who secured a £24.3 million pay out when she legally separated from the former Beatle in March 2008 – says her life has changed for the better since the high-profile split.

When asked how she is feeling, Heather replied: “I’m really having a great time, totally. Great freedom!”

Earlier this year, Heather – who has a five-year-old daughter, Beatrice, with Paul – claims she gets asked out “all the time”.

The 41-year-old blonde – who lost her left leg below the knee when she was hit by a police motorcycle in 1993 – insists her friends are always astonished by the amount of attention she receives from the opposite sex.

Heather, who is reportedly dating her former personal trainer Jamie Walker, said: “I’ve got so many stunning girlfriends who can’t get a boyfriend. But when I go out, I get asked out all the time, and my girlfriends – who are better looking than me – say, ‘How the hell does that happen?!’ Maybe it’s because I’m comfortable with myself.”

Paul McCartney’s ex Heather Mills was responsible for leaking a bogus story about the rocker’s heart problems earlier this year in a bid to discredit the star.

The former Beatle was alleged to have undergone a secret coronary angioplasty operation in December 2007, after doctors warned MCCartney that his reported drink and marijuana habits had contributed to the health scare.

MCCartney subsequently blasted the reports, insisting he never had such an operation.

And now Mills’ former publicist Michele Elyzabeth has confessed to releasing the story to the media herself – on the instruction of the ex-glamour model.

She says, “Heather instructed me to leak news about Paul’s op in a bid to win sympathy. She told me his procedure was the result of drinking too much red wine and smoking too much dope. I don’t know if that was true, but I greatly doubt it now. Heather had first told me about Paul’s heart problem in 2006 when they were still married. She said his doctor had told him to stop smoking pot and drinking because he was going to die. She claimed he didn’t care and refused to stop. But he still went ahead and had the op. Heather never produced any evidence to back it up, but she insisted it was true so she wanted it out there.”

Paul McCartney has taken his relationship with Nancy Shevell to the next level after reportedly beginning his hunt for an apartment nearer to her New York home.

The former Beatle has been dating American heiress Shevell since last year and is now said to have made moves to purchase a property closer to her Upper East Side residence in the city.

McCartney formerly owned a place in midtown Manhattan with ex-wife Heather Mills – who settled into her own apartment in the city’s star-studded downtown West Village earlier this year.

A source tells the New York Post, “He’s been looking at eight-figure apartments. I think he just wants to rid himself of the Heather factor.”

More than 40 years after the Beatles were banned from playing in Israel, Sir Paul McCartney will reportedly take the long and winding road back to Tel Aviv next month.

Israeli media is buzzing that the 66-year-old legend will take the stage Sept. 25 for his first-ever performance in the Holy Land as part of the country’s 60th birthday celebration. Although the gig hasn’t been confirmed, the official announcement is expected in the next few days.

The Fab Four was refused entry in 1965 amid concern their lyrics could corrupt the morals of Israeli youth. Earlier this year, Israel’s ambassador to Britain, Ron Prosor, sent formal letters to McCartney, Ringo Starr, and the families of John Lennon and George Harrison, that said, “There is no doubt that it was a great missed opportunity to prevent people like you, who shaped the minds of the generation, to come to Israel and perform.”

No word yet on whether McCartney’s allowed to jump, shout, hug and kiss on stage.

Paul McCartney has joined the fight against litter on Britain’s beaches – designing his own surfboard to raise funds for the campaign.

The former Beatle is concerned about the state of seaside resorts in his native U.K. and is backing an initiative by Surfers Against Sewage – aiming to clean up beaches around the country.

McCartney has designed an eco-friendly surfboard which will go under the hammer at London auction house Bonhams in October.

Other stars to have joined the campaign include British artists Tracey Emin and Gavin Turk.

Paul McCartney has fuelled rumors he is set to wed American heiress Nancy Shevell after allegedly seeking out their families’ approval of their union.

The couple sparked reports they were set to walk down the aisle in April after McCartney was spotted shopping at top London jewellers S.J. Phillips for an apparent engagement ring.

And the pair have reportedly sought the blessing of their families, reports Britain’s News of the World newspaper.

A source tells the publication, “Paul’s utterly enchanted with Nancy and he’s already rolling the idea of marriage around in his head. He adores everything about her. He thinks she’s ‘The One’ and told (his daughter) Stella as much.

“He said, ‘What would you say if I asked Nancy to be the next Mrs McCartney?’ And she joked back, ‘At least she’s financially independent.’ The whole family thinks Nancy’s great – a vast improvement on Paul’s last love interest.”

Earlier this month the pair embarked on a road trip across America – and are said to have journeyed 1,000 miles from New York to Springfield, Illinois.

The source adds: “They’ve been with each other 24/7 – a perfect way to see if they’re suitable for marriage. Paul’s not about to rush into anything, but he’s happier than he’s been for years. They’ve got so much in common. He knows Heather was a mistake, although he loves their little one (daughter) Bea more than anything, and won’t be put off by a bad divorce experience.”

Meanwhile Shevell, 47, is reportedly rushing to finalize her own divorce to U.S. lawyer Bruce Blakeman.

The source continues, “Nancy and Bruce have been separated a long time but her relationship with Paul has spurred them on to finally dissolve the marriage. They’ve moved on with their lives and Bruce approves of Paul. It’s all amicable.”

McCartney and his second wife, Heather Mills, were divorced last year, resulting in a $46 million settlement being paid to Mills.

Paul McCartney has broken his silence on his relationship with ex-wife Heather Mills in a new song.

The former Beatle finalized his divorce from the former glamour model earlier this year and has consistently refused to talk about his former spouse in public.

But McCartney has now revealed his torment about the breakdown of his second marriage in a new ballad, titled My Soul, taken from his forthcoming album London Undersound.

The lyrics reference the former couple’s struggle with the paparazzi and “secrets” that were kept from him.

He sings; “I want to know all your secrets. How could this steal all these feelings? How could they lie to the world? A picture away from your smile. One heart replaced. Feelings displaced. Invade our space.”

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mail, “What the song shows is that Paul just feels sorry for her. He feels sorry that she was never able to tell him the full truth about her past life. Paul knows Heather is a complex person, and deeply misunderstood, but she has hardly helped herself by being less than transparent about her life.”

McCartney and Mills split in 2006 and have a four-year-old daughter, Beatrice. McCartney’s first wife Linda died of cancer in 1998.
