CITY JOB LOSS SEES TROPHY WIVES SEEKING DIVORCE

The prospect of widespread City job losses has seen a surge of bankers’ trophy wives heading for the divorce courts, say lawyers…With thousands of job losses announced and more rumoured to be on the way, divorce specialists say that some wives want to secure good divorce deals before their husbands lose their jobs.

…There has been a 300 per cent rise in the number of inquiries about claiming partners’ assets since rumours of redundancies in the City began, research by the law firm Pannone reveals. [Source: Telegraph].

Boooooi!

Peace, Love & It’s all about Prenup’s!

I haven’t yet read the feature in Entertainment Weekly, but have managed to read a few little extacts. Here’s what Usher had to say about his former playboy lifestyle…

”I was going out night to night, having a different woman in my bed every time I chose, and I began to wonder: Am I really being a playa or am I a whore?”

”I was exposed to the lifestyle of a young, fly A&R who was the man in New York. He took me to clubs. I was around women. It was like swagger camp. I said, So this is what I do when I finally make it…. But you have to be very careful about what you allow your kids to be around or see. I’m a product of the environment.”

‘I was just looking for good times. In the club. Not living right. This woman. That woman. Uncertain. Unsure…. But there does come a time when you start thinking, Who’s gonna love me and take care of me when I’m down? Who’s gonna care about making sure that I’m okay? I need a companion. Damn.

Peace, Love & Usher

I found this track in my inbox and pretty much fell in love with it, instantly.

Jennie Laws is the newest find from Prince’s manager and has already had some pretty major artists backing her…

“I hear a delicate sensuality with every heartfelt melodic choice Jennie Laws makes in her vocal performances. I love this girls voice. The song writing/production is honest and unpretentious. A homage to the glory days of soul music. I look forward to watching the world embrace this amazing artist!” [Eric Benet]

“With distinctive and dynamic vocal artistry, unique and original songwriting skills and wide range of influences and inspirations, Jennie Laws has emerged as a beautiful and brilliantly talented new arrival on the cutting edge of today’s music”.

Her soulful voice, folk-flavoured lyrics and jazz-tinged flourishes enable Laws to stand out from the rest of modern counterparts. And with the release of her brand new EP “Introducting Jennie Laws”, the buzz around her has begun to grow and we’re sure it will continue to do so as more and more people hear her music. With influences spanning from world music, classical, jazz, pop, R&B and hip hop, her sound is refreshing, pure and most certainly well-needed right now.

“Heavenly” [download below], is what I call a ’Sunday Morning’ tune - You know the kind?. It’s that track you pop on when you’re feeling good, or just chilling, that track you reach to when you’re trying to figure out how to spend (or waste) your day, it’s that song you play when you just want to feel happy! We all need those tunes in our life!

…Once you hear this joint, you won’t be satisfied with just one play. Trust Us. It’s evident that Jennie Laws’ voice is something special. Her undiluted and understated vocals are exactly what makes this track so beautiful.

Jennie Laws – “Heavenly”

We’re pretty excited about hearing more from Jennie Laws and checking out her debut EP. If “Heavenly” is anything to go by, we’re pretty sure it won’t disappoint our expectations. “Through it all, Jennie Laws had maintained her belief that music can bring wholeness and healing to the world. “My goal is simple,” she concludes: “To make the best music I can.” It’s a goal she’s reached and exceeds on her debut EP”

“Introducting Jennie Laws” is available now via iTunes, Amazon.com and other digital music retailers. Also, go show your love by checking out her Myspace and Official Site

Peace, Love & Jennie Laws
