Paul McCartney's Ex Approached for Bionic Commando; Said to Demand More Money, Starring Role

 
I swear, video game news doesn't get any crazier than this. UK website The Sun is reporting that Heather Mills, Sir Paul McCartney's ex, was approached by Capcom to help promote Bionic Commando, given her charity work with amputees and due to the fact that the star of the game, Nathan Spencer, has had his missing arm replaced with the Bionic Arm. However, she reportedly demanded at least ten times their offer. What's more, she apparently insisted that she be the star of the project, so naturally, Capcom told her to forget it. (link)
