I greet this story with some skepticism, because it comes from Britain’s most popular tabloid dishragThe Sun(which I won’t be linking to), and if you follow UK “journalism” at all, you’ll know that the British tabloids absolutelyhateHeather Mills with a passion and will doanythingto disrepute the woman they affectionately call “Lady Mucca.”
According toThe Sun, Heather Mills has recently been dropped from working with Capcom’sBionic Commandoafter demanding a six-figure compensation for her work and also declaring that she should be the star of the game. A “source” toldThe Sunthat Mills was approached due to her having a prosthetic limb, which gives her some vague connection toBionic Commando‘s main character and his own fake arm.
“She was insistent she wouldn’t do it for a smaller fee and said the producers should make her the star,” confirms The Sun’s (possibly invented) source. “The request was way, way over budget and they certainly weren’t keen on basing the game on her.”
Naturally,The Sunis celebrating the fact that Mills was dropped from the game, because she is apparently such a whore. To be honest though, this sounds like either completely invented horsesh*t or a grossly embellished overstatement, either of which is standard tabloid practice. We’ve approached Capcom for a comment, so hopefully we can do whatThe Sundoesn’t want to do and get to the bottom of this nonsense.
[Update: When reached for comment, Capcom said it “could not comment on this story.”]
