Heather Mills has done a fabulous job of becoming one of the most loathed women in the world. Really, for someone who’s tried so hard to be liked – and seems utterly astonished that she’s so loathed – Heather really couldn’t have done a better job of being hated if she were trying. She threw herself a lavish birthday party, but chose only to invite some of her neighbors, obviously offending the others. And considering they have to put up with living near Heather Mills, the least they should get is a nice gift bag.

Heather Mills snubbed her neighbors when she celebrated her 40th birthday bash last night – so they blasted out Beatles hits as her guests arrived. Heather’s friends were greeted by the sounds of Hey Jude echoing from the house opposite her East Sussex mansion. The ex-wife of Beatle legend Paul McCartney invited some neighbors to the bash, but left others off the guest list.

Claire Patterson, 24, who lives in a bungalow opposite the Mills estate, said: “I’m a Macca fan not a Mucca fan. I can’t believe we didn’t get an invite, but the neighbors opposite did. It’s so rude. When we have a party, we invite everyone. Anyone is welcome. But it seems we weren’t wanted.”

Her mum Gloria, 47, a big Beatles fan, threw a little party of her own and cranked up the volume on her stereo as it blasted out the band’s greatest hits. Gloria said: “We’re fine out here. And anyone is welcome to our party.”

Heaven forbid Heather be nice to regular folks – people might actually start to like her! Just looking at Heather Mills’ face makes me want to throw eggs at her house. I can’t imagine trying to resist that urge while actually being within throwing range of her estate… or her face. It’d be a constant exercise in torment. Now her neighbors at least have a legitimate (in my book) excuse to egg the place. I can’t imagine how excruciating it would be to live within yelling distance of that woman.

The upside to this story is that Paul McCartney made another attempt to make nice with Mills, though I have no idea why he’d bother. Oh, for his daughter. But I can’t imagine any reason beyond that. Maybe to get closer so that he could throw eggs at her too?

Sir Paul McCartney has attempted to mend the rift between himself and estranged wife Heather Mills – by splashing out on thousands of dollars’ worth of gifts for her 40th birthday. Mills, who celebrated her birthday on Saturday, was left shocked after the ex-Beatles’ driver delivered presents including a $4,000 (£2,000) Cartier watch, a $10,000 (£5,000) gift card from luxury British department store Harvey Nichols, and goody bags with products from La Prairie skincare, Kanebo Cosmetics and Charles Worthington haircare.

The presents were accompanied by drawings made by the couple’s four-year-old daughter Beatrice, including a framed picture of the three of them as a family. A hand-written card attached to the gifts read, “Have an amazing day, despite what’s happened. Hope we can be friends. P x.”

I’m guessing the skincare, haircare, and cosmetics weren’t so much a gift as they were a gentle hint from Sir Paul. Heather Mills has always been pretty… severe looking. Motherhood didn’t soften her, and aging certainly won’t help. Though having such a severe personality obviously doesn’t do anything good to her face. Happy birthday Heather!
