For Sir Paul McCartney it was one of the most momentous days of the year – made even more special by the presence of his trusted brother.Headlining the world’s biggest concert, his younger sibling, Mike, was on hand to capture every moment as Live 8’s unofficial photographer.But now, with the exclusive photo diary about to go to press, one prominent backstage guest is conspicuous by her absence – Sir Paul’s estranged wife, Heather Mills.While the 38-year-old former model does appear in some select snaps, she has, intriguingly been cut out of the rest.On the ex-Beatle’s personal website, which promotes Mike McCartney’s Live8 Coolpix book, Miss Mills has been left out of all testimonials – and omitted from the named list of celebrities who do appear. Instead, guests including Sir Bob Geldof, Madonna, Joss Stone, David Walliams and even Jeremy Clarkson are named, while McCartney’s estranged wife – who was a vociferous figure on the day – goes unmentioned.’The book has been put together really well, it’s a very classy affair but the only problem, from the brothers’ point of view, was Heather, because she and Paul are no longer an item.’Given that they’ve had such a public, acrimonious split, any photos of them published now, showing them kissing, cuddling and giggling like teenagers would simply look ridiculous.’Not only that, but such pictures immediately date the book and takes away from what Mike is trying to do with this special project – further the philanthropic work of Bob Geldof, Midge Ure and all the performers, including Paul, who gave up their time for free.

And seriously who is she anyways? The only picture book worth having her in, is her sex book. And I pity the poor fool who bought that book.
