Piers Morgan regrets introducing Sir Paul to Heather Mills

Former tabloid editor and current judge of 'America's Got Talent' Piers Morgan appeared on the Howard Stern radio show yesterday. Among his many topics of conversation was the fact that Morgan is the man responsible for introducing Sir Paul McCartney to the now-infamous Heather Mills. The rest, as they say, was history- in the form of one of the highest divorce settlement payments in U.K. history. Way to go, Piers!

Piers Morgan publicly apologized for introducing Paul McCartney to Heather Mills at a charity event. 'Paul asked who she was after seeing her give a speech. I introduced them. I'm not sure if Paul knew that she was missing a leg at the time. I never thought in my wildest of dreams that Mills would turn out to be a grasping, gold-digging little bimbo.'

'I was fooled into thinking that she was a good person. She ended up costing Paul 50 million dollars,' he said, laughing. He added that Heather was so daft,' she couldn't even understand why people liked Paul more than her: I told her, ‘Well, on one hand, you've got the guy who wrote ‘Yesterday' and ‘Hey Jude.' On the other, there's you, a gold-digging…'

Piers also added that he has repeatedly apologized to Paul, who told him there was 'nothing to apologize for.' Paul's daughter Stella, according to Piers, went up to him later and asked him, 'Why? Why our family?' He said that Britain was glad to be rid of Mills and called her 'The most hated woman in Britain. Now you can have her, New York!'

Piers Morgan is shown below at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards on 6/3/08. Heather Mills and Paul McCartney are shown in the header on 4/19/01, thanks to WENN.
