(Newser) – A gag order can't stop enterprising Heather Mills: She’s working on a "novel” about a model whose marriage to the world's most famous rock star sours, the Daily Mail reports. Paul McCartney’s ex-wife is asking for a nearly $2 million advance. "It doesn't take a genius to realize what is really behind this book," a source says.
