maybe its that he's just had his heart broken and also lost a small amount of his fortune to heather mills and the public all sympathized with him, then they see him with another young woman just after the settlement.

There probably like "when will he ever learn " and maybe slightly irritated by it ?

Ooh, I like your theory, Fendertele.

Of course, my opinion is worthless, as I can't even tell a valid source of annoyance from an important clue!

My guess is that people are just sick of hearing about Paul's divorce and Heather's carrying on.

It's lazy celebrity journalism that pleases bored writers and readers, but it'll be forgotten as soon as the crowd moves on to the next big rage of the moment. In the long run of Paul's career, I think the whole Heather business will be relegated to the status of minor post-Linda embarrassment. By that I mean I can imagine biographers taking a lot of interest in Jane and Linda, but not so much in Heather.  :)

Oh, how disgusting! That last thing I want to hear is two people moaning about each other. We all have better things to do.

but on the bright side bad publicity is still publicity, and probs worked out in favor for his album sales as before the whole divorce thing with heather he wasn't in the papers or public eye for a good while, so maybe it brought him to attention of a lot of youngsters.

Perhaps but... can youngsters relate to divorce? Isn't that an icky thing old people do?

Still, you're probably right. It's hard to see publicity is bad, if you rely on an audience to purchase your work.

lol i never meant them relating to his divorce just that with him being in the paper all the time, kids would see him as a big deal in the same way that if jordan and peter andre constantly talk about themselves to the sun if they release a crappy single it would probably go to number one.

Harihead, I find your attitude towards divorce very condescending. My parents got a divorce when I was thirteen and it f***ing ripped me apart, especially since I was old enough to know exactly what was going on. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about divorce since I was caught right in the middle of one, and I'm very insulted by your comment. Adults aren't the only ones who suffer during a divorce, you know. You're an intelligent woman and I expect better from you.

You're right, Mairi. That was terribly insensitive of me. Of course children are the big losers in a divorce situation.

I just wasn't thinking-- or was rather thinking as an adult who's been through it (and yeah, it's ugly enough even then). Please accept my deepest apologies. Please don't hesitate to speak out again if I commit such an offensive blunder.

Best wishes.

i too grew up in a single parent family and went through the whole divorce thing, but what you typed harihead was not insensitive at all, i knew what you meant and you weren't implying that kids don't experience the pain of parents getting divorced just that they dont relate with the feeling of actually getting divorced.

What I was thinking was "would young people be annoyed enough about Paul's divorce to vote for him as most irritating pop star"? Perhaps they would. I don't think I was necessarily being fair to young people, either! Certainly the ones hurt by divorce would not be likely to find Paul "irritating" because he's going through one.

However, I perfectly understand Mairi being quite surprised if she came her to relax and found this inadvertent hot button pushed in her face. So I'm glad she said something.

Back to the topic, I think your theory "just that with him being in the paper all the time" is probably sound. I don't like pop stars or celebrities who seem to be trying to be in the news all the time, so I can see someone being irritated on that basis (even though I'm sure Paul is not trying to capitalize on his divorce trauma). Cheers.

no sorry i think you've misread my first post hari i wasn't saying that i thought the kids would be annoyed by his divorce, in my first post i mentioned that due to his heart being broken that a lot of folks, felt a great deal of sympathy for him but then when they seen him with another young woman so soon afterwards that they maybe got slightly irritated by him as if to say not again.

i mentioned the children in the next post about how even though his divorce was not very good that any publicity when you're famous is good even if it is about something bad and that it probably brought to the attention of a lot of children who maybe hadn't heard of him, and as you know if something or someone is always on the tv ( like a big brother contestant for example) they could realise a fitness dvd and it will sell just because of there famous face.

It's okay, harihead. I was probably overreacting, but as you said it is a bit of a "hot button" for me. Thanks for clarifying what you meant.

All the fabs have irritated me at some time or other

Paul - Marrying Heather, general control freakery ie the idea that being in charge of everything would make Give My Regards To Broad Street a good film
George - General God-bothering
John - His parent of the century stuff with Sean whilst ignoring Julian for years on end
Ringo - Playing the Pope in Liztomania

But then they do make up for it with stuff like

Paul - Not sending his kids to a snotty school and calling David Blane a dick
George - Handmade Films
John - Calling Liverpool's premiere songbird "Cyril Black"
Ringo - Hating drum solos
