WANTED: SWF.....$50 MILLION DIVORCEES WELCOME!

Paul McCartney was ordered today to pay Heather Mills $48.6 million to settle their divorce.

A document released by the Family Court said the judge awarded Mills a lump sum of $33 million plus the assets she currently holds worth $15.6 million.

"I'm so, so happy with this," Mills told reporters following the closed hearing.

The court also ruled that the couple's 4-year-old daughter Beatrice should receive a "periodical payments order" of $70,000 per annum. On top of that, McCartney will pay for the child's nanny and school fees.

"I'm so glad it's over," Mills said at her impromptu news conference.

"It was an incredible result in the end to secure mine and my daughter's future and that of all the charities that I obviously plan on helping and making a difference with — because you know it has been my life for 20 years," she said.

While pleased with the financial settlement, Mills intends to appeal to prevent publication of the details of the settlement for the couple's daughter.

McCartney, 65, and Mills, 40, went to court last month to decide on Mills' share of his fortune. Mills was seeking in the neighborhood of $250 million, while McCartney proposed she should receive $31.6 million, including her own assets.

Still, the hefty payout shouldn't affect McCartney's bottom line overmuch, as the artist's vast fortune is estimated at $800 million.

McCartney left the court without making any statement.

HALLE BERRY BECOMES A MILF!

Halle Berry has become a mother for the first time at the age of 41, after giving birth to a 7 lb. 4 oz. girl.

The Oscar winner who only recently said, "I want to stay pregnant forever" reportedly delivered the baby at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles on Sunday morning.

The father is 32-year-old Canadian model Gabriel Aubry, Berry’s partner of two years. The pair met while shooting a Versace advertisement in Los Angeles in 2005.

After announcing her pregnancy last September, Berry told Oprah Winfrey that she and Aubry tried for a baby unsuccessfully for some time, but one negative pregnancy test followed another, "and finally, after about 35 tests, we finally got a positive test."

What a lucky.........Canuck!

Notable New MILF Mention: Jennifer Lopez.

YOU WOULDN'T LIKE ME WHEN I'M ANGRY....

If you recall last summer having Toronto streets blocked off to accommodate big movie trucks, trailers and their film crews, it was due to the filming for The Incredible Hulk. Shooting began in the summer and took place for about 4 months around the city in such places like on Ossington Street, University of Toronto where tanks and soldiers marched along College Street to invade the Koffler Centre and Knox College's courtyard that saw soldiers firing live ammunition.

Yonge Street was closed, from College to Dundas, for 3 days to film what was said to be the final fight scene between The Abomination and The Hulk. Yonge street was dressed to look like New York City's Harlem with the remodeling of The Cannon Theatre to look like the Apollo but, as you'll see in the trailer below, there's no way a Torontonian will miss or not recognize these beasts running by Zanzibar!

This version of The Incredible Hulk, produced by Marvel Studios and directed by Louis Leterrie, stars Edward Norton as Dr. Bruce Banner, a.k.a The Hulk, Liv Tyler as Banner’s longtime love interest, scientist Betty Ross, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky, a KGB agent who becomes The Abomination and Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Starks aka Iron Man which is schedule for its own release on May 2nd, 2008.

The Incredible Hulk opens in theatres June 13.

A CLEAN SHAVEN MAN

Men have been shaving forever. Cavemen probably shaved with stone knives, and there’s some suggestion that they may even have trimmed their hair with fire! (Ouch!)

Among the many reasons men began shaving in Stone Age times were:

  • To reduce the breeding grounds for lice, fleas and small rodents
  • To avoid having their beard grabbed during battle
  • To make it easier to eat
  • Superstition associated a heavily bearded man with old age and death, in addition to the superstitious belief of spirits which entered the body through hairs on the head

Men have always wondered "should I shave or let it grow"? Majority of the time it boils down to being lazy.

Some ponder "Do women find me more attractive with a beard or a clean shave"? Hmmmmmmmm.

Well, in a recent survey, 70% of women prefer clean shaven men. 20% prefer a goatee, stubble or well trimmed mustache. 7% prefer a full beard and 3% do not care about facial hair and chances are if she doesn't care about your hair, she's hoping you have the same understanding for her.

Most women love a clean look and when you shave and dress nice you will be the guy that has everything going on. Now as the survey has indicated, some women do prefer guys with mustaches like Tom Selleck's Magnum P.I. bush. However, unless you are an older man I would stay away from that mustache. Mustaches conjure images of porn stars. (Atleast for me it does) Also some women prefer the rugged look of stubble or a big beard. The number of women that prefer the rugged look is far less than the number of women you will get with a clean shave. When you have a lot of facial hair it's much harder to clean your skin and it looks like you are hiding your face, which can be a good thing if you are not attractive. It will also save your lady from having to deal with "beard rash"



For the fellas who refused to shave and are confident and content sporting their "I am man, hear me roar" stubble/beard, do not fear fore you will not be shunned away. All we ask is you keep it clean and look out for our "Ode to Men with Facial Hair" post in the near future. For now, here's a tip you can pass onto your lady, from make- up artist Donna Fitzpatrick, on treating "beard rash.

"Beard rash occurs when the rough bristles aggravate the soft delicate skin around the mouth. Get your man to shave well. Should you get a rash there are a number of things you can do to your skin to treat it. I love to use Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream to bathe the area in moisture. It has anti- septic properties to help soothe the area. Apply a thick mask to the area and allow to penetrate. After a half an hour or so get a stiff towel and using small, gentle circular motions rub the area to detach any dry skin or flakes. Blot area using a tissue, leaving a residue of product. The area will be red, but settle in a few hours. Apply the cream to the area that night, avoiding perfumed products and make- up if at all possible. If you have to wear make up go for a yellow based foundation which will counteract the ruddiness of the skin. The skin should be back to normal the following morning. Alternatively, buy him a present of a professional wet shave set for his Birthday, Father's Day, Christmas or Valentine's Day Present."

LOOK WHO GOT CLEANED UP

After getting released from federal prison on Monday, TMZ reported Joe Francis had an important stop to make before facing a judge.

Before heading to the Sunshine State, Joe paid a visit to the Mind & Body Day Spa in on Tuesday. It is reported he got a brow wax and a quick tan, telling the staff he needed to "clean up."

Hey, we can’t be mad at anyone for trying to get cleaned up!
