One more reader down the drain
Heather Mills McCartney says she’s feeling better after venting her rage against estranged husband Paul McCartney and the media in a series of TV interviews.
But the 39-year-old activist is not upset that McCartney was photographed kissing another woman last weekend.
“It’s none of anybody’s business what happens in Paul’s love life,” she says
She and McCartney, 65, separated last year and are negotiating terms for their divorce.
In interviews last week, Mills McCartney accused the ex-Beatle of failing to protect her and their 3-year-old daughter Beatrice from death threats, railed against press coverage and announced a campaign to curb the news media.
“It’s been unbelievably cathartic,” she told a British TV interviewer. “I’ve had 18 months of the worst press ever and I got the chance to protect myself and my daughter.
“A little girl came up to me and said, ‘You made me cry last week,’ and I felt bad,” Mills McCartney added.
“I said, ‘I didn’t want to make you cry,’ and she said, ‘I hate those bullying newspapers, I’m never going to buy a newspaper.’ “

Now he’s really collared
A priest accused of stalking late-night talk host Conan O’Brien was found fit to stand trial Friday, although his lawyer acknowledged he has been treated for psychological problems.
The Rev. David Ajemian was arrested last week while trying to enter a taping of O’Brien’s show despite being warned to stay away.
His seminary mentor says Ajemian can still be a good priest if he receives psychiatric help.
“He was a good seminarian,” the Rev. John Mark Hannon says. “He was kind and generous and affable and concerned how people were.”
