WE DON'T THINK THIS CONSTITUTES AN OFFER IN THE LEGAL SENSE

Although we're sure there really is a "close insider" of Paul McCartney who really did talk to the News of the World saying that Macca would whip out the chequebook to rid of Heather, we don't think it's a genuine offer:

"If it was up to Paul he'd settle this matter now. If Heather turned around and said, ‘I'd accept £50million and go away quietly' then Paul would go, ‘Yeah, I'll write the cheque out now to get it all over and done with.'

"This divorce has now turned into World War III and it's hit Paul really hard. He really doesn't want the hassle of a court battle."

McCartney is, of course, well known for wanting to avoid court at all costs - it's not like he and the other Beatles/estates are always parading into lawyers offices because Apple Computers have done something musical, is it?
