It seems Heather Mills may not be satisfied with the $50 million pay-out from her divorce settlement. Why are we not surprised?

The former model is trying to prove her ex-hubby, Paul McCartney, is worth more than the $800 million he claimed during their divorce case, sources told the Daily Mail.

Mills reportedly told pals that she has hired forensic accountants to look into her ex¹s finances. The goal of this alleged investigation? To have last week¹s divorce ruling overturned in order to seek more money for their 4-year-old daughter, Beatrice.

Although Mills said she was "very, very happy" with the ruling last week, she also made sure to mention to the press that "we all know" McCartney is worth $1.5 billion.

Even celebrities aren¹t comfortable seeing their exes with someone else.

Ryan Phillippe told Usa Today that he avoids looking at magazines that feature photos of his ex-wife, Reese Witherspoon, and her beau, Jake Gyllenhaal.

"It's bizarre," the ³Stop-Loss² star told USA Today. "There¹s plenty of times when I say, 'What a strange situation I¹ve found myself in.' But at a certain point you know it¹s going to happen, so you are prepared in some fashion."

(hed) After 19 years of marriage, Robin Williams¹ wife is seeking a divorce. Marsha Garces Williams filed a divorce petition in San Francisco last Friday, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Her reason? The good ol¹ celeb favorite, ³irreconcilable differences.² Marsha, a one-time nanny for Robin¹s son with his first wife, and the comedian have two children together.

Richie Sambora has fallen off the wagon -- hard.

The Bon Jovi guitarist¹s 10-year-old daughter Ava was in the car with him when he was arrested for DUI Tuesday night, TMZ.com reports.

Sambora was pulled over for driving erratically in Laguna Beach, Calif., and failed several field sobriety tests.

Sambora had two stints in rehab last year. He was released yesterday morning.
