VAIN Heather
Mills arrived at court for her divorce war with Sir Paul McCartney yesterday — flanked by a posse of sidekicks, including her personal trainer and MAKE-UP artist.
The ex-model, dubbed Mucca over her porn past, also brought her sister Fiona, a female pal, a minder, a chauffeur — and a lone solicitor to advise on legal protocol as she represents herself in court.
Heather, pleading her own case after she was dumped by her lawyers, aims to wring up to £100million out of former Beatle Macca, who is said to have an £825million fortune. As the hearing kicked off behind closed doors at London’s High Court, she showed the judge cosy home videos of herself and Sir Paul together in a bid to prove she was the star’s “rock” and deserved a huge cut of his money.
It is understood she also screened a video likening herself to Princess Diana — claiming she was hounded by paparazzi and needed 24-hour security to avoid the same fate.

The Death of DAB?
Millions of people who have invested in new digital radios were yesterday wonderi
ng whether they would be left with little more than expensive ornaments after Britain's biggest commercial radio group all but abandoned the medium.
The owner of Capital Radio, Classic FM and Xfm was an enthusiastic champion of digital audio broadcasting (DAB) under its previous management, spending an estimated £80m on new transmitters and stations.
But GCap's new chief executive, Fru Hazlitt, yesterday axed digital-only stations theJazz and Planet Rock as well as selling its majority stake in Digital One, the owner of the national DAB network.
Claiming the medium was "not economically viable", GCap will concentrate instead on its existing FM services and innovations in online listening such as technology allowing iPhone users to hear its stations. It hopes the moves will save £8.8m a year and help fend off a takeover approach from a rival group, Global Radio.

Owners of digital radios will still be able to receive a range of stations, including "simulcasts" of all the BBC and commercial networks they are used to hearing on the FM dial and a handful of digital-only stations such as BBC 6Music and Asian Network which are also available online and through digital TV.
But some analysts believe GCap's decision could lead other commercial operators to pull their investment in DAB, leaving the original promise of a whole range of new stations catering for all kinds of niche tastes unfulfilled.
The future of digital radio, once hailed as a bright new dawn vital to challenge the dominance of the BBC for commercial players, has split the industry. Some have called it the equivalent of Betamax but others point to soaring sales figures as evidence it remains the future of radio listening.
TheJazz, which had 364,000 listeners, and Planet Rock, one of the more popular digital services with 563,000, will cease broadcasting on March 31.
