Amagansett

WHICH TABLOID reported a false rental price for an ex-Beatle's ex?

Today's Page Six reports:

Heather Mills can thank her ultra-rich Hollywood pals for her quality time in the Hamptons this past weekend--she had the use of a stunning oceanfront home in Amagansett and didn't pay a dime for it, Page Six has learned. Earlier this week, it was reported that Mills was shelling out close to $80,000 for a weeklong Hamptons rental so she could be near Beatrice, her 2-year-old daughter with Paul McCartney.

It was reported, was it? And where might it have been reported?

Mills, who usually calls Britain home, is shelling out $80,000 a week to rent a posh East Hampton pad located near estranged hubby Paul McCartney's retreat, where he has been vacationing with their 2-year-old daughter, Beatrice.

Also, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are staying in the city after all, reportedly signing a contract for a $7 million Tribeca pad.
