Judge Awards Heather Mills Writing Credit On 'Eleanor Rigby'
April 10, 2008 | Issue 44•15

LONDON—In addition to the $48.6 million in child support recently awarded Sir Paul McCartney's estranged wife, Heather Mills, the 40-year-old activist announced Tuesday that she has successfully sued the legendary former Beatle for a writing credit on the classic 1966 song "Eleanor Rigby." "After being married to Paul for six long years, I have as much of a claim to that song as he does," Mills said of the pop masterpiece penned two years before her birth, which will henceforth be credited to "Mills-McCartney-Lennon." "But I'm not going to back down until I get everything I deserve, and that includes recognition for the guitar solo on 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps.'" A spokesperson for Mills said that the former glamour model will seek further damages in the form of having herself Photoshopped into all existing images of the iconic 1969 Abbey Road album cover.

I knew the whole Eric-Clapton-played-the-lead-guitar-on-"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" thing was a hoax! :ohyes:

I may or may not have played air guitar to Stairway to Heaven in 1981- where's my money?

I have relatives that may have worked with Beethoven.lol Should I get a song writing credit. Mills is just a gold digger. She should be glad of what she got. No wonder so many men don't want to get married these days.

I ain't saying she's a gold digger
