When she's not fuming at Paul McCartney or the media these days, Heather Mills is fuming at . . . fumes.
From cows.
In London yesterday, Mills focused on the environmental impact of deforestation and livestock on global warming, citing figures from animal-rights group Vegetarians International Voice for Animals (Viva!).
"When [Viva!] told me it was 18 percent - that's more than all global transport - I was in shock. Airplanes only bring 3 percent, while they are being picked on with taxes," she said yesterday.

"We are the only species that drinks another person's milk, so why aren't we drinking rat's milk, or dog's milk, or cat's milk? That's how crazy it is," Mills said.
Rat's milk?

Tattle's favorite guitarist, Queen's Brian May - that's Dr. Brian May to you - has been named chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University.
May, who completed his doctorate in astrophysics earlier this year, will be installed as the university's figurehead leader early next year. He said the appointment was "a great honor and a great new challenge."
"In this age of celebrity culture, it is rare to find someone who has fame, fortune and universal acclaim and yet who remains true to his core values of learning and enlightenment," said the university's vice chancellor, Michael Brown, in a statement.
But what's really cool is that May, drummer Roger Taylor and singer Paul Rodgers are working on an album.
