"paul did not have a pre-nup.........sounds to me, like a man who married for love.....not a prize....."
Are the two mutually exclusive? I think not. And "trophy wife" is a much easier-to-define term, than "love", as he's finding out, sadly.
If we take off the admiration goggles, it seems like he went through the same inner struggle that a lot of older, rich guys do when a life mate passes on all too soon.
His "solution" to that struggle was, unfortunately, the path of least resistance, and was (in perfect 20-20 hindsight) ill-advised. But the signs were there right from the beginning to those close enough to him to see the real relationship, gloves off. He was being used, and now he's being taken for a fortune. His worst nightmare--having his personal life exposed for all to see--warts and all--is taking place. His consolation is that everything blows over, given time.

I agree. It's very sad to see this at his age....or any age for that matter. I believe she did marry him for his money, and he married her on the rebound after Linda's tragic death. And this is the result of it all. Even sadder, there's a young child caught up in all this too.
I recently went back to playing a Rickenbacker bass. Its like meeting an old friend again

I don't think he looks worn out. He's 64. Plus, anyone can have a bad photo taken of them, even if they're 20.
I think it's actually refreshing to see someone who is famous and over 30 that hasn't been ridiculously retouched in a shot. There are some photos in a poster in the subway in NYC at the moment of Bo Derek and Morgan Fairchild and the photos are laughable. They look 18 and Bo looks like she's had 7 face lifts.

This is off the record

This is getting uglier by the minute. Those tapes, IF they are as "explosive" as described, are played in court, might be even more embarassing for Paul. If those tapes portray Paul positively, which I hope is the case, they would really help to trash Heather's claims.

I went a few days without checking on any of this. Then I read a few articles and just get so damned mad! Love him or hate him this is a bad situation.
