  • Is our Heather Mills hate misogynistic? The Guardian‘s Kira Cochrane thinks so: “Indeed, over the past few years, since her initial split from Paul McCartney, every nasty, misogynist epithet available has been thrown at Mills; she has somehow become the vessel through which it is acceptable for both pundits and the public to express their very worst feelings about women.”

If she wants my advice, I’d recommend she considers adopting the wet look on a regular basis. She might even try wearing a T-shirt as well.” (BBC)

The Daily Telegraph‘s Andrew Perry says, “[Robert] Smith, like all the aforementioned goth-associated performers, has not been content to sit back and milk his past. It’s as if that negating, black-clad energy which drove them all to begin with, was ferocious enough to propel them right through, artistically, into later life.”
