Mills 'Booted As Video Game Star'

Sir Paul MCCartney's ex-wife was approached by the makers of Capcom's Bionic Commando, about a character with a prosthetic arm, because of her own experiences as an amputee, according to British newspaper The Sun.

But Mills, who lost her lower left leg in a traffic accident, is said to have told company heads she would only participate if she could be the game's star - and if she was given a hefty six-figure sum.

A source tells the tabloid, "She was insistent she wouldn't do it for a smaller fee and said the producers should make her the star.

"The request was way, way over budget and they certainly weren't keen on basing the game on her."
