The Flatulent, Miserly Cannabis Smoker And His Control Freak, Grudge-Bearing Daughter Headed For Primetime?

According to The Sunday Mirror, Heather Mills is planning for her revenge upon Paul and his progeny to take the form of an animated cartoon. She has reportedly set up a production company, Raspberry Fields (Do you see what she did there?) in order to bring the oh-so-wittly-titled cartoon sitcom The McFartneys to the world.

They say "the former Beatle would be portrayed as a flatulent and miserly cannabis-smoker and his daughter Stella as a control-freak with a grudge against Heather - while Heather herself is made out to be a homemaker struggling to juggle family life with her career." Of course, the proposed series is compared to both The Simpsons and South Park.

The newspaper also mentions that Mills registered a number of McFartney related websites - and indeed, on the 28th June last year, somebody called Enom, Inc. did do just that thing. If you fancy a bit of cybersquatting, however, note that .us, .ws, .cc and .tv addresses are still available at the time of writing.

Darren Starr and Denis Erdman are named as Mills' advisors on the project.

Football Wives

Football Wives is to be the US version of Footballer's Wives. I'm assuming the name change means some of the wives will be married to managers and so on, because there's no other reason for it, surely?

A few months ago, it was revealed that Bryan Singer was going to be producing the show and that he might even direct the pilot episode. At the moment, there's still been no clarification on this, but casting news is starting to leak out. Casting news of dubious veracity, but casting news nonetheless.

Some tabloid scamps in the UK are reporting that Heather Mills is negotiating a lead role in the series. Doesn't seem like the sort of casting Singer would normally go for...

The articles also imply that show is still about soccer and this is the real red flag for me. No American show about Soccer would be called Football Wives, surely? Wouldn't that be Soccer Wives?
