Kerry Packer 'was Heather Mills' sugar daddy', Ledger 'conman' won't apologise

12:38PM Wednesday April 23, 2008

Shady lady Heather Mills reportedly gave Sir Paul McCartney a "marry me or it's over" ultimatum during their tempestuous relationship.

Some very interesting new details have been revealed by Denise Hewitt, who claims she worked with Mills as an escort in the eighties, in a new television interview.

Hewitt claims scheming Mills allegedly demanded that Macca marry her within eight months, or face abandonment.

"She said 'I'll give him an ultimatum and if he doesn't marry me within say eight months, ten months, I'm going to leave him'."

She also says they pulled up to £10,000-a-night as prostitutes.

In the sensational interview to be broadcast on Britain's Channel 4 this week, Hewitt reveals, "We went into high class prostitution behind closed doors and nobody knew about it...[Adnan] Kashoggi, Kerry Packer and one of the Royal princes of Saudi, they were the big fish and there were a couple of others that were classed as Heather's sugar daddies.

"We used to get a lot of jewellery as gifts - rings, watches, Bulgari bracelets, cars. The world was our oyster. We enjoyed it."

 Hewitt also claims Mills often made disparaging remarks about Macca, saying: "Well look at me, I'm marrying an old man with bigger t*ts than me."

She added: "Heather knows how to play people, she's very clever, she's got an X factor with men for some reason.

"They just fall madly in love with her and I take my hat off to her because she manipulates people and they're besotted, like enchanted, you know - like she throws fairy dust all over them."

Fairy dust? Dumb dust, more like.

It was only a matter of time before Mills' scabby skeletons started marching out of the cupboard.

And seriously, it couldn't happen to a nicer person.

 Ledger 'conman' won't apologise

A con-artist who pretended to be the grieving father of dead actor Heath Ledger in callous calls to Tom Cruise and other celebrities has refused to apologise for his actions.

Wayne Scott , 35, is the sad little man who reportedly made a series of fake phone calls to numerous Hollywood A-listers following Ledger's death in January.

Scott allegedly targeted luminaries Tom Cruise and Halle Berry with his elaborate con, and also asked Grease star John Travolta to pay for an air fare to New York so he could be with his 'son'.

He also persuaded the funeral home taking care of Ledger's body to book him a room in a luxury hotel.

Even worse, he also managed to speak to the doctor who carried out the autopsy on Ledger's body.

New York police conducted an investigation to trace the crank caller after he gave out two UK numbers for the celebrities to contact him on.

Their enquiries reportedly led them directly to Scott.

No remorse

But despite being busted by the cops, Scott has shown no remorse for his actions - claiming that he has no recollection of the incident.

He says, "I can't talk about the Heath Ledger thing. I don't remember doing it. It may not have been me. I'm not apologising for something I can't remember doing."

Scott, who according to news reports has had more than 40 convictions for deception, made the comments after he pleaded guilty to posing as US wrestler The Rock to bum free tickets from football clubs Everton and Manchester United.

The serial liar is currently on bail and has been ordered by a judge to see a shrink.

Lohan's face time

Is it real or is it fake?

Who cares.

Website Gawker.com has just published screen grabs of what appears to be Lindsay Lohan's Facebook page.

Working undercover and using the name Lindsay Rohan (after her DJ mate Samantha Ronson perhaps?), the page is tagged with the comment: "don't believe the hype. im taking my sobriety seriously, and day by day. it was 430am!!"

What rouses my suspicion is the fact that the page isn't set to private.

Regardless, it's a thrilling piece of entertainment.

Cancer stinks

British actor Ewan McGregor has had a cancer scare.

McGregor, 37, says he had a brush with skin cancer recently, bus says that he is "fine" now.

The Moulin Rogue star revealed the news while promoting new flick Deception, saying he had a procedure to remove a suspicious-looking mole under his right eye.

"You have to be careful if you're pale-skinned and spend any time in the sun," McGregor said.

"I went to see a specialist who thought they were better to be removed, and indeed he was correct."

But even the dreaded C hasn't managed to dampen McGregor's humour.

"It was great fun having skin cancer, it was great. I really enjoyed it."

Nice day for it

Poor Natalie Portman.

It really comes to something when a passing pooch can't spot the difference between you and a lamp post.

The Leon actress was recently the unwitting victim of a dousing by an incontinent dog.

See here.

Woof!

He might be back

Don't rule out muscle Mary Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising his role as monotone time-shifter, the Terminator.

The actor-cum-governor says he'd be up for a return to the franchise.

He says, "I've never had a dialogue with anyone about it. But if they shoot the movie in California, I would (be a part of it), yes."

To date Schwarzenegger isn't involved in the upcoming Terminator 4 flick, starring Christian Bale, so whether we'll see the big guy on the big screen again remains to be seen.

Dumb and dumber

Honestly, if Paris Hilton had a brain she'd be a lethal weapon.

News reports say she now wants to have a double wedding with her mate Nicole Richie - to boost the value of photographs of the occasion.

Hilton, currently dating Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden, is under the delusion that if she pairs up with Richie, she'll be raking in the dough when it comes to selling wedding snaps to the media.

A snitch tells the NY Post: "She's doing it all for attention, as usual.

"It's a publicity stunt, just like everything else."

However, Hilton's rep says the allegations are "Not true whatsoever."

That figures. I mean, she's not even engaged yet.

Freak or unique?

Ever wondered what a pint-sized version of Britney Spears would look like?

Imagine no longer.

Introducing Mini-Britney (aka Texan-born Terra Jole).

This pint-sized tribute performer is a class act and knocks the socks off the real McCoy.

 And I'm not joking. Music producers in the U.S. think so too - she's about to release a single later this year.

Nip-slip for Madge?

Pop fossil Madonna is really scraping the bottom of the barrel to think of new ‘shock tactics'.

For reasons known only to her narcissistic self, Madge will reportedly be re-creating Janet Jackson's infamous Super Bowl 'wardrobe malfunction' at a New York gig later this month.

Madge, 49, is due to showcase her new album by performing with Justin Timberlake on April 30.

A snitch tells the Sunday Mirror:

"There's a dance where Justin whips off her corset.

"She'll have a tiny vest on - but she'll appear to be nude."

WTF? Put it away, love.

Jackson, 41, famously exposed her udder while performing at the Super Bowl in 2004, after Timberlake yanked her top down during their performance.

They blamed the nip-slip on a "wardrobe malfunction".

Video of Jackson's wardrobe malfunction here.

Evil as

Is Oprah Winfrey a merchant of evil?

The producers of this ridiculous video would have you believe it.

Looks like the old adage is true: "When you make your mark in the world, watch out for the guys with big erasers."

This is sick

Incarcerated dreamboat Pete Doherty has been turfed out of his house after spraying blood on the walls, according to news reports.

The druggie jailbird is penniless and has now been evicted from his nine-bedroom mansion after reportedly trashing the place over the past year.

British tabloid The Mirror reports how his landlord paid a visit the country pad and was horrified with what he saw.

The place was a shizhole.

The newspaper reports that the walls, floor and some windows had been sprayed with human blood.

Not only that, but the singer had also allegedly abandoned his nine cats in the house.

The landlord swiftly cancelled Doherty's tenancy.

A source says: "Pete is homeless, broke and owes thousands to dealers. He destroyed the place by scribbling on the walls, the floor, anywhere he felt like it.

"The beautiful heavy curtains were ripped down and the cats are just running around abandoned. It's a really pathetic state of affairs.

"No one in their right mind is going to rent him a property after what he did."

Quote of the day

"I wish I looked more feminine - I get ripped apart in the tabloids for looking masculine... There's nothing more beautiful than that feminine, curvy shape with the pouch in the middle. But that's not how I am." - Butch-looking bird Pink

Free things

Heard that Perez Hilton's been handed tickets to Madonna's upcoming NYC gig to give away. How about spreading some of that love in this direction, Warner Bros?

We're worthy; open to giftage, and not above begging.

Hey, a boy's gotta have some perks. I'll have you know I've not received one solitary free thing since I started writing this blog...how's that for a labour of love?

But, as one of my readers pointed out the other day, as if the voices out there in the dark will be listening anyway...

Actually, is there anybody out there, or am I sat here rambling to myself and slipping into a melodramatic monologue?

Hi Kees,
That story about Madonna supposedly appearing nude during her NYC gig was obviously nonsense written by the Sunday Mirror. And yes, they should have checked their facts. Hurrah for inaccuracy!

Regarding your blog about Madonna and the small vest in which she appears nude - have you seen the video to her and jt's song? NB the outfit she wears on there and that JT pulls her top off to reveal such a "vest" You should check that out and know your facts before blogging.
