Sometimes I’m a little flummoxed at the antics of rich men. I can’t understand how they can marry women, without any kind of prenup or agreement, and then get divorced just a few short years later, costing them countless millions of pounds.

Do they get off on it?

Paul McCartney paid £24.3 million to the evil Heather Mills, which seems a lot of the former Beatle’s money considering she’s done nothing to help him earn any of that. She just came along, flashed a bit of leg (just the one mind you) and let the old fool make a big mistake.

That’s nothing compared to Phil Collins though. That numpty has just had to pay out a record amount for a British celebrity in a divorce, a whopping £25 million. 35-year-old Orianne Cevey, who had only been married to Phil for 6 years, gets almost £5 million for every year she’s been with the Genesis singer.

The thing is, this Phil’s third divorce! His last divorce cost him £17 million when he split from Jill Tavelman. When will these guys learn?
