Crazy amputee and former porn model Heather Mills gets some more publicity in the UK tonight as a Channel 4 documentary special, “Heather Mills: What Really Happened,” sorts through the stories, lies, legends, accusations and escapades of and about a self-made public figure who, though not loved, is definitely one of the most colorful characters in pop culture. Sounds like good stuff, if only because Channel 4 docos turn out to be a lot more sordid and straightforward than the bowdlerized judgmental tabloid churned out by the 20/20 and Dateline pieces we get here (the syndicated tabloid shows simply agree to let the subject call the shots in exchange for exclusivity). And we do like how they have the balls to not put a question mark at the end of the title because we can only attempt to sort out the “truth” among all the stories that’ve come out about the one-legged fantasist since she hooked with poor old mourning Paul McCartney and fleeced him for £24 million.

“We have a naughty background. We went into high-class prostitution behind closed doors.
There were 10 of us. We are select girls from Newcastle and we kept it close-knit with three of the most powerful men in the world. (A tip of the Tabloid Baby hat to the late Kerry Packer for making that list).
They were the big fish. We also had others who were classed as sugar daddies.
We used to get a lot of jewellery as gifts – rings, watches, Bulgari bracelets, cars. The world was our oyster. We enjoyed it.
“We would have full-on sex with a guy. We’d do girlie-girlie scenes. Always girlie-girlie scenes. I mean 99.9% of men like a girlie- girlie scene. It’s a play act. You need to be an actress. Whatever you want out of life, you’ve got to act for.
“No-one knew what we did and we didn’t expect it would come out. I don’t look on it as sleazy. It was experiencing something we couldn’t have experienced if we hadn’t done this. I mean working-class women wouldn’t get £10,000 a night. People go out in Newcastle and do it for free, then can’t remember the next day who they have been with.”
