The Scotsman's gee-whiz account on how much money ghostwriters make is hardly new. Because such writers have to endure working with the celebrity of the publishers' choice, so why shouldn't there be ample compensation?

Now, there's no official ghostwriter attached to Heather Mills McCartney, but considering how much mud is being dragged in her divorce from Paul McCartney, that's not out of the question. The latest twist? that a self-help book, LIFE BALANCE, she wrote may contradict allegations contained in leaked divorce papers that her husband abused her. Ooops. Gotta get your story straight, Heather - or maybe she needs more "me time" than we thought...
