It's no secret that her split from Paul McCartney has been ugly and riddled with money battles, but her interview yesterday shed some light on the woman behind the curtain. It's so easy to be labeled a "psycho emotional" ex-wife, and it's frustrating to see someone in such a high-profile marriage confirm the stereotype.

The obviously emotionally-charged interview slew began on the British morning show "GMTV" where she compared her experience and anguish to that of Princess Diana. From there, she spooled into a visibly angry attack on the media — complete with yelling and crying — and admitted to considering suicide because of the havoc she feels her reputation has gone through. "If I'm dead, she's safe," she said, referring to her three-year-old daughter, Beatrice.

She made a mysterious reference to a "box of evidence" that will go to an undisclosed person should something horrible befall her. Despite the death threats she's received, she claims she's forced to remain in the U.K. to keep Beatrice close to her father.

The public still waits for the details of her train-wreck divorce which she can't discuss extensively thanks to a well-placed gag order.

(©2006) At last. You’re finally divorced. Finally single. Ready to date. And scared to death. How long has it been? Five ten, maybe over twenty years? You don’t even know where to begin or what or who to look for. We know. We know. Just the thought of spending one minute with a “waste of time guy” is stressing you out. Who needs it? Right? But then again, if you have a sense of wonder AND humor, oh the fun you can have!

So, here are some suggestions on what to look for now that you’ll be out and about. Young or old, the choice is yours! Be smart. Be brave. But, most importantly, be open, ‘cause you just never know. You go, girl!

THE ARTIST ~

This one probably practices holistic medicine but the basic characteristics remain the same as days gone by: no money, a diet of bean sprouts, natural peanut butter and unsalted almonds, and a group of stimulating, esoteric friends who sit around in the lotus position discussing the Dali Lama’s most recent book. You won't have to invest in the latest fashion, because you'll always be properly dressed in anything you’ve ever owned and are even thinking about giving to Goodwill! CAUTION: DO NOT become a benefactor - unless you have a trust fund!

THE YOUNG PROFESSIONAL ~
Alas. He owns a three-piece suit. So, just like your backpack, he can go anywhere. McDonalds is no longer his hang out as he now frequents a restaurant where the maitre d' recognizes him, and even knows his name! You’ll make quite a hit at his corporate parties because the guest list includes his senior partners whose wives have been trying to get him in the sack for months! His habitat is usually a large urban area, so while he's at the office you can have your pick of any beauty treatment available!

THE BLUE COLLAR MAN ~

Of course, Saturday Night Live has a unique take on every circumstance, and they've spared none with Britney. Divorce can certainly be costly, but sometimes not as much as the cost of fame...

Free time, chocolate calcium supplements and Helen Reddy’s greatest hits are just three of the empowered woman’s top 10 gifts.

The trend has shifted. More women are leaving men, and more women have become the bread-winners. So more women are finding themselves paying alimony to their ex-husbands. An Axe to Grind, by Jane Heller, explains the evolving role-reversal.
