Brunettes, take note: We've been dissed again by the cute Beatle - or so we would be led to believe by those reliable gossip sources, TMZ.com and Britain's News of the World. TMZ.com posted yesterday a report from the other side of the pond saying that smack dab in the middle of his nasty divorce from
Heather Mills
, his last blond bride,
Paul McCartney
recently had a rendezvous with a woman TMZ opines looks just like her - actress
Rosanna Arquette
.
According to the News of the World, the pair recently took a romantic stroll through London and even shared a tender kiss goodbye, TMZ reports. A witness told the newspaper, "It was all cloak-and-dagger stuff, but Paul couldn't resist a quick cuddle. Rosanna was beaming after that." This despite the fact that Sir Paul has been linked of late to multimillionairess
Nancy Shevell
(she appears to have darker locks, at least in some photos).
Meanwhile, the New York Post's Page Six reported yesterday that Ms. Mills, the recently irate soon-to-be-former Mrs. McCartney, flew to Monaco for an art exhibit's opening with
David Shilling
, a former milliner who is now a big-time British sculptor. "They looked chummy, and he only had eyes for her," a source told the Post, which noted that Shilling introduced Mills to
Prince Albert
. He's blondish, too, like his beloved mother, Philadelphia's own
Grace Kelly
, as we recall.
At the box office

Legal wrangle
A former beverage manager at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas has sued
Dennis Rodman
, claiming the ex-NBA star assaulted her last year by rubbing against her body and slapping her on the buttocks. In a federal lawsuit filed last week,

Shannon Barr
declined to comment, and Hard Rock spokeswoman Dorian Cantrell did not return phone calls Saturday, the AP says.

already, have you?)
Linda Hogan
has filed for divorce from her wrestler husband,
