McCartney baby named before birth

Paul McCartney and his pregnant wife Heather Mills know the sex of their baby and have chosen a name but it is staying a closely-guarded secret, the anti-landmines campaigner said.

Paul McCartney and his pregnant wife Heather Mills know the sex of their baby and have chosen a name but it is staying a closely-guarded secret, the anti-landmines campaigner said.

Mrs Mills-McCartney, speaking on a US chat show, said she did not want to keep calling her bump "it" but the world would have to wait and see whether it was a girl or boy.

And the couple, who wed in 2002, are yet to decide whether a picture of their first child together is released. The baby is due on November 14.

She said she did not want to keep calling the baby "it 2". "It's our one little secret. We both know and we know the name and everything, but we ain't going to tell you."

During her hour-long appearance on CNN's Larry King show Mrs Mills- McCartney also backed up her husband's series of events surrounding an alleged scuffle at the David Blaine stunt last week.

McCartney was said to have been involved in a fracas with a photographer during a night out with friends.

Mrs Mills-McCartney, 35, said her husband was out with friends who went to see Blaine, the magician attempting to survive without food in a glass box suspended over the Thames for 44 days.

"They stood miles away and his press guy stupidly told the press that he was over there. And he (MCartney) saw the press coming towards him," she said.

"So he ran off to the car and the paparazzi were chasing after him. The last thing he wanted on his night out was to have the press around.

"He just said, 'No I don't have anything to say', so the next day it was all 'punch up, drama'.

"His people tried to stop the paparazzi but Paul just got into his car and went."
