Heather Mills is one of the internet’s favorite people to despise. And she makes it so damn easy. She’s made some minor efforts to improve her reputation since moving to New York City, and has worked with some local food banks to get healthier products out to needy communities. But ultimately, Heather is still Heather, which means she’s got a huge, undeserved ego and doesn’t mind prattling on about it. Including how she has to beat men off with a stick.

HEATHER Mills, who lives in the West Village, says Manhattan men are always chasing her. “I’ve got so many stunning girlfriends who can’t get a boyfriend,” the one-legged ex-wife of Paul McCartney tells Page Six Magazine in this Sunday’s Post. “But when I go out here, I get asked out all the time, and my girlfriends – who are better looking than me – say, ‘How the hell does that happen?!’ Maybe it’s because I’m comfortable with myself.” Her $50 million divorce settlement probably doesn’t hurt, either.

I love how many articles manage to mention Heather’s one-leggedness. If it were anyone else, that’d be considered absolutely inappropriate (because they always say it as a snide insult), but with Heather, she’s so despised that it’s sort of a no-holds barred situation.

I’m sure she does manage to get a lot of guys to hit on her, even if they don’t know who she is. Actually, I’d say especially if they don’t know who she is. Just to look at Heather, she’s not the most unattractive creature in the world. Especially if you don’t know about her personality, because that certainly makes her unappealing. But if you were just to look at her in a vacuum, I guess she’s alright. I doubt a whole lot of guys call her for a second date (unless they really are itching for the cash), but Heather has to cling to whatever little bits of attention she can, and this is probably enough for her.
