McCartney, wife split
LONDON -- Former Beatle Paul McCartney and his second wife, Heather Mills McCartney, said Wednesday that they are separating after nearly four years of marriage, blaming intrusion from the media and insisting their split is amicable.
Rumors of a rift between Mills McCartney and the singer's children -- especially Stella McCartney -- have circulated for years. Talk centered around the idea that Mills McCartney -- who is nearly half his age -- wanted to devote more time to campaigning against land mines and fur.
Kidman, Urban engaged
LOS ANGELES -- Actress Nicole Kidman says she and country music star Keith Urban are engaged, according to a report on People magazine's Web site.
"He's actually my fiance," Kidman told People Monday after hosting a weekend gala event in New York. "I wouldn't be bringing my boyfriend."
Calls after business hours Tuesday to publicists for Kidman and Urban seeking more details were not immediately returned.
The report comes just weeks after she told the Ladies' Home Journal that she still had feelings for her ex-husband, Tom Cruise.
