The ex-model, now a fighter for animal rights, is again with all eyes on her after the sudden emergence of a 1988 pornographic book published in Germany.

'Die Freuden Der Liebe' (or, simply, 'The Joys of Love') is a manual for love, a 'guide', says Heather, but, ironically, no texts accompany the absolutely outrageous explicit pictures.

Furthermore, the man that appears with (and under, and above) Mills claims that they actually had real sex, it wasn't just a simulation for the cameras, and that he intends to give a full statement with all the gory details very soon. Even if he doesn't keep his word, others will: a famous adult-magazine announced that it will do everything humanly possible to obtain some of the pictures and publish them.

Heather (38) married Sir Paul McCartney in 2002; they separated this year in May, but the divorce is not yet pronounced. They have a daughter aged 2, whose custody Heather won at the beginning of June. Useless to say that the former Beatle is appalled by his wife's past and is intent on making sure that baby Beatrice doesn't get hurt by the media frenzy.

Mills fights press attacks by stating that 'the photo shoot was not pornographic or for the purposes of gratification of the viewer'. All she accomplished with this is to get ridiculed by all that have seen the infamous book.
