Some gold diggers are subtle, and some have no shame at all! Here’s Hollycoop’s list for the top ten money-grubbing gold diggers in tinsel town.

McCartney admits that marrying Heather Mills was the biggest mistake he had made in the last decade and we don't blame him! He ended up paying her $100 million dollars for 6 horrible years of marriage.
He said in an interview with Q magazine: “I suppose the marriage has to be a prime contender for mistake of the decade. But I don’t want to down anyone.
“These things happen you know? But I tend to look at the positive side, which is that I have another beautiful daughter out of it.”
His daughter really is the only good thing that came out of that marriage. Let's hope Paul gets a great attorney and an iron clad prenup before he decides to get hitched again.

Mel Gibson is reportedly worth almost $950 million dollars, and since the couple never signed a prenup, Robyn could be entitled to half his fortune, which would potentially lead to the biggest divorce settlement in history!
Madonna's split from Guy Ritchie was the last celebrity divorce to raise eyebrows, as he was reportedly granted $76 million, but that's chump change compared to what Mel may have to cough up in his settlement.
While Madonna’s split with her hubby of eight years was a costly one, there are a number of stars that paid a whole lot more in their settlements:
10. Michael Douglas’s marriage to Diandra Douglas ended in 2000 after 23 years in marriage when Diandra walked away with $45 million.
9. In 2008 Phil Collins’ had to pay Orianne Cevey, a Swiss-born woman 22 years his junior $46.76 million. The couple was married for six years and has two children.
8. Paul McCartney dropped his gold digger ex wife Heather Mills in 2006 after four years of marriage. That drop cost him $48.6 million.
7. “Titanic” director James Cameron, had to pay his wife of two years Linda Hamilton, $50 million for their divorce settlement. $25 million for each year of marriage? Sounds like Linda got a boat load of money for nothing.
6. Madonna’s split with Guy Ritchie cost her $76 million dollars, which only puts her in the number six position on this list, but at the time her rep called it "one of the largest payouts ever in a divorce settlement.”
5. After 16 years of marriage Kevin Coster and Cindy Silva split leaving Silva with $80 million.
4. Harrison Ford spent the 1980s and 1990s with wife Melissa Mathison, but the couple decided to call it quit after 21 years together in 2004. Mathison walked away with $85 million, plus future royalties on two Star Wars films and three Indiana Jones movies.
3. Although Steven Spielberg had a prenup with his wife of four years Amy Irving, she still walked away with a cool $100 million. Now that's a good lawyer!
2. Neil Diamond spent 27 years with his wife Marcia Murphey before handing her $150 million dollars for their divorce. That's roughly $5.5 million for each year they were together.
1. According to both USA Today and Forbes, Michael Jordan made the largest payout ever in a celebrity divorce when he handed his wife of 18 years, Juanita, $168 million dollars back in 2007.

But for some reason, Burger King has signed her to a lucrative deal to promote their vegetarian options on their menu.
She’s reportedly earning $4.3 million to be the spokesperson for BK’s new meat-free burger that will be sold at 11,350 stores around the world.
"Heather is ecstatic. She believes she can change the eating habits of millions. She's also being paid a lot of money and the deal will help boost her standing."
This comes right on the heels of news that Heather just purchased the popular Fish Café last week, and decided to take their main staple, fish, off the menu.
Burger King decided Heather was perfect for the role after she gave $1 million worth of free veggie burgers to poor kids in New York last year.
Of course they picked her! No one else would sign up for that Debbie Downer job of taking all the fun out of eating fast food!
Heather has a way of ruining every situation she gets herself into, so we don’t have high hopes for this joint venture.

Sara Trumble quit working for Heather back in September, and now all the dirt is coming out. According to the Sunday Mirror, Sara says Heather made her work until midnight, and do ridiculous tasks like give her naked spray tans, and blow dry Heather's hair at 7:30 in the morning.
A source tells the publication, "Sara and Heather started out as friends but it all went wrong after Heather's divorce. Heather is concerned what Sara will say - she was in the heart of the family during the last days of her marriage to Sir Paul right up until after the divorce was finalized."
Heather is reportedly "devastated." Her rep says, "Heather is devastated that Sara, who Heather considered a part of her family, should choose to level these accusations at her. This claim will be vigorously defended."
Heather isn't exactly publicly regarded as a saint, so this might be a harder lawsuit to fight than she thinks! You would think the woman would learn her lesson after her divorce from Paul McCartney that left everyone calling her a gold digger. But maybe the nanny is just after some of the $35 million Heather won!

We just have one thing to say to Paul: RUN!!!!

A source says, "She is a vociferous supporter of and has worked closely with countless animal charities including PETA and Viva!
"She is willing to do whatever it takes to get people to listen and stop abusing the rights of animals. She says she would love to pose for one of PETA's campaigns."
We're not too keen on seeing Mills naked, but if it's for the sake of charity, we'll just have to close our eyes.

And while we can't talk smack about donating to such a great cause, we can't help but think she's trying to buy her way into the good graces of New Yorkers. She's a new resident of NYC, and it's not fun being the odd girl out, especially when you have a reputation of being a gold digger!
Over the weekend, Heather helped cook a vegan barbeque lunch for the low-income families. She is now set to receive honors from Congressman Josi Serrano and Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrisn.
Mills says, "I wanted to help make sure they have as many nutritional advantages as anyone else."
A spokesperson for the charity adds: "The reaction in the community to this donation is, 'Wow!' It enables us to provide over 2,800 children living in some of the poorest neighborhoods in NYC with good, healthy food."
What do you think of Heather's donation? Good hearted? Or all for show?

Mills is seeking $500K in damages for "breach of confidence and falsehood." The case is expected to go to court within the next eight weeks. Should be interesting!

Mills' ex-publicist Michele Elyzabeth said she had set up a "little cameo" for her on the show, but it fell through because stars of the show, especially Eva, said they were "totally against it."
"I reckon they saw the chance to get some headlines for the show. But when the stars discussed it, [Longoria Parker] demanded Heather be dropped from consideration," Elyzabeth said.
Elyzabeth is the same publicist that branded Mills a "gold digging witch" last month. So the question remains, does anyone like this woman?!?
