Only a few days ago Sir Paul McCartney was signing autographs for hundreds of fans during a rare public appearance in London. Today it was the turn of his estranged wife Heather Mills to step into the limelight. Unfortunately, nobody else bothered to turn up. Mills, who is fighting a bitter divorce with the former Beatle, was at Finsbury Circus to launch an auction of celebrity shoes on eBay to raise funds for the Mines Advisory Group charity. Few people were present for the launch, in stark contrast to Sir Paul’s appearance at Virgin Megastore for a record signing last week. In fact the only members of the public who paid any attention were a couple of office workers eating their sandwiches in the square. Several celebrities have donated shoes for the auction, including signed white leather ankle boots from David Bowie, signed Adidas trainers from Coldplay’s Chris Martin and silver strappy Jimmy Choo’s owned by Hollywood star Susan Sarandon. Pamela Anderson has, ironically, donated a pair of Stella McCartney white PVC stilettos signed by the designer. Given the loathing alleged to have been felt by Sir Paul’s daughter for 38-year-old Mills, this last item is of particular interest for collectors of celebrity oddities. Mills, whose claims that 64-year-old Sir Paul who is said to be worth £850 million, abused her during their marriage have been strenuously denied, left without taking any questions from journalists.
