Hutchence's Sister In Custody Bid


LATEST: MICHAEL HUTCHENCE's half-sister will seek custody of HEAVENLY HIRAANI TIGER LILY, the dead star's daughter by the late PAULA YATES, she said yesterday (29OCT00).

Mother-of-two TINA HUTCHENCE, says she would "love" the opportunity to raise the orphaned four-year-old and has instructed solicitors in London. She and the former INXS frontman's mother, PATRICIA GLASSOP, voiced concern over the possibility of Tiger Lily being brought up by Paula's former husband, BOB GELDOF, who has been granted temporary custody.

Patricia says, "It's totally bizarre to think that Bob would want his ex-wife's child by a man he loathed." Tina, who runs her own internet company in Burbank, California, adds, "I have a great deal of respect for Bob. But I wouldn't want Tiger to go to him. "How are we supposed to keep communication going with her and bring her up to know the essence of her father? "She needs constancy in her life, someone to bond with."

Tina plans to raise the child in California and at her mother's home in the Gold Coast of Australia. (RGS/WNBTI/PDD)
