Rod Stewart: Paul must fight Heather

Rod Stewart has urged Sir Paul McCartney to battle it out in court with Heather Mills.The aging rocker, who is twice divorced himself, stood by the former Beatle and said he was sure the allegations of domestic violence could not be true.Rod told Britain's BBC Radio 2: "I am sure that Paul is not a wife beater. He may be a drug taker but he is no wife beater. His name has been slurred and I think he should fight. I don't think he should settle. He should fight it all the way."Sir Paul is currently embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with ex-model Heather Mills, with both parties seeking divorce on the grounds of the other's unreasonable behaviour after their four year marriage, which left them with a daughter, Beatrice, now three.Rod, 61, who has been married to Alana Hamilton and model Rachel Hunter, is now engaged to Penny Lancaster with whom he had a son last year.Meanwhile, Rod revealed Penny is organising everything for their wedding - apart from the alcohol.He said: "Penny is in charge of the invitations; in fact she is doing all of it. But I’m doing the music, the beer and the wine."

Speaking to British TV show GMTV he joked: "Penny really wants me to wear a kilt, but my right knee has been playing up so I might not. We are really looking forward to the wedding."
