Heather vs. J.Lo: A Day In The Strife

It's turning into a street brawl between Heather Mills McCartney, wife of Paul McCartney, and Jennifer Lopez, wife of Marc Anthony.
Yesterday morning, the attention-grabbing Beatle spouse and anti-fur activist staged a press conference with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, at which she slagged Diddy and other fur-loving celebs inside the Fashion Week tents at Bryant Park.

Then McCartney marched across Sixth Ave. with an army of camera crews and stormed the offices of Sweetface, J.Lo's fur-trimmed clothing line, to present the singer-actress with a grisly PETA video showing innocent mammals being skinned alive. Lopez, whose rep declined to comment yesterday, wasn't there.

"PETA has tried for years to educate her about fur - at first gently and quietly, and now like this," McCartney told me immediately after the invasion - which ended in a melee of zealots, reporters and security personnel shouting threats to call the cops in the fifth-floor reception area of J.Lo's headquarters.

"She keeps saying she wants to be educated. So the next stage is I'll find out where she lives and show up there," McCartney vowed. "And I'll get ahold of her at her premieres."

At Sweetface, McCartney brandished the video, denounced J.Lo and posed in front of a couple of huge posters of her. "Get out of here, you're not invited!" the security folks cried, before McCartney and her entourage finally withdrew.

So what if Lopez takes out a restraining order against her?

In response McCartney laughed scornfully.

"She needs to find some warmth inside her and penetrate that warmth in her heart," she advised, adding: "I talked to Paul today and he's very proud."

Meanwhile, I asked McCartney - who spent two years in the war-torn Balkans working against land mines and who lost a leg in a traffic accident - her response to an off-color joke told by Rod Stewart's daughter Kimberly in the latest issue of Stuff magazine: "What has three legs and lives on a farm? Paul McCartney and his wife."

McCartney said: "Rod Stewart is a long-term friend of Paul's, so I doubt she said it."
