Paul and Linda marriage claims 'rubbish', says Carla


Writer and vegetarian campaigner Carla Lane has spoken out about Paul McCartney's first marriage - saying there were no problems.She made the comments after it was suggested that Linda McCartney discussed the relationship in tapes with her friend Peter Cox.Lane, 69, who was one of Linda's best friends, said: "It's just a load of rubbish."All I say is, if Paul did anything that was not nice, Linda would have told me, and she never did."She told Radio 4's Woman's Hour: "Linda told me all things. I mean, if he had a little mood she would say 'oh, he's in a mood', you know."But she never did say anything that gave me the impression that she didn't care about him."The former Beatle's marriage to Linda, who died in 1998 from cancer, was believed to be one of the strongest in showbusiness.This weekend McCartney and estranged wife Heather Mills put aside their differences to attend their daughter Beatrice's third birthday party.McCartney, 64, recently spoke of his increasingly bitter divorce, saying it was a "very difficult" time for him.Speaking before the storm caused by the anonymous leaking of legal papers containing allegations that he mistreated Heather, he said he was hoping for a "happy resolution".
