...MCMILLAN FINALLY EXHALES...
This sounds like a great idea for a book, or even a movie! TERRY MCMILLAN, 46, just married JONATHAN PLUMMER, 24, a student she met while on holiday in Jamaica about three years ago. Attending were her son from her first marriage and her sister Crystal. If this all sounds a tad familiar, it's probably because it's currently playing at a multiplex near you. In McMillan's book How Stella Got Her Groove Back, now a movie, the lead character, 40, meets a 20-year-old student in Jamaica whom she eventually marries. And, why yes, Stella does...

Despite valiant efforts by her handlers to keep the decision quiet until an orchestrated press conference Thursday -- even garrulous spokeswoman Susan Carpenter McMillan has been wearing the muzzle of late -- the news has leaked out. Which is all that can be expected in a case where leaks to the press have become as common as filings to the judge...
