Mills at five

This is the extraordinary moment where the world discovered Heather Mills is dating Flavor Flav.

Actually, it's not - it's a bizarre illustration from the Sun's coverage of yesterday's McCartney v Mills court hearing. We're a little at a loss to explain why the paper thought it so significant she left the court building at five that they felt the need to superimpose a giant clock on the picture - was there a 3AM Girl hanging about who needed to be taken out the shot? Is it part of an new educational remit - "telling the time with Heather Mills"? There was also a shot of Macca leaving at 5.20 with, yes, a giant clock to illustrate the point.

The paper insists:

Lady Mucca, 39, later stormed from the building after a judge threw out many of her lurid claims against the pop legend

but doesn't actually bother with any of the details of these "lurid claims" being "thrown out" - you'd have thought a judge throwing out details in a divorce petition would have been worth some deeper coverage, but instead the court report actually consists entirely of a few words:
Inside, both Macca and Mucca occasionally leaned over to whisper to their solicitors.

Neither of the warring couple was called to give evidence in the witness box.

And the first half of that sounds like a guess. Suggesting that the judge had taken such decisive action and not being able to stack it up seems curious.

Still, at least Sun readers are better informed than Entertainmentwise.com users, who were told at the start of the week:
Paul McCartney has opted to avoid a potentially messy court case in his already resentful divorce battle with Heather Mills, by paying her a one-off lump sum.
