1. Finally, someone has stepped in and belled the cat. His connections have long been whispered to be the source of his wealth. This, however, was largely ignored because he was a good party-man! His recent attempts to manipulate the political process by rented crowds, demonstrations and other such antics, did not sit well with the party's top brass. Now the talk is he is threatening to 'kick up rumpus'.
Hummer in new homeland
2. Well, when he was down and out and up and coming, he sought everybody out, especially the rich and powerful. Not only did he cultivate them, he practically became friends with them all overnight. Well, since then, his fortunes have changed and he is supposedly quite wealthy. Well, what do you know; he has upped and moved to another country, vowing never to return. And for all those who considered him a close friend - they have not heard a peep out of him since. He was spotted in his adopted homeland driving a spiffy new Hummer! Meanwhile, the bills here continue to mount.
Self-styled metrosexual
3. He dresses quite well. Is equally well spoken and says of himself, he is a metrosexual. Those who know him, however, say he is the terror of middle-class gays across the island. He targets them, befriends them, and then exchanges sexual favours in return for cash.
Fashion faux pas
4. Apparently, backstage was the place to be at the recent fashion event. The story is that at least two models got really down and dirty in a little dust up that became a major catfight - scratching paws and all - with one model suffering facial scratches. The mother was not having any of it. On the final night of the event, she was there to defend her daughter. The offending model, realising her match was in the house, took flight over flight of stairs!
Unsupervised trip
5. How to tell when your wife or girlfriend has lost interest in you? She sends you or facilitates an all-expense paid and unsupervised trip to Cuba.
Stop it!
6. Some are asking why some in the media always manage to make themselves the news by inserting snapshots of themselves and some famous personality and/or acquaintance in their stories.
The suggestion is - avoid the temptation of making yourself the news!
Come on ... do the makeover!
7. The husband apparently has no complaints, but friends of the high-profile couple do, and they are voicing it everywhere they go. And, their complaint is gathering steam as it seems their attempts at getting the wife to do a makeover have failed. Everyone is now up in arms as they say: The wife has no business looking like his grandmother!
You should make it public
8. If, as is being claimed in some quarters, there is a list containing the 'who's who' of Jamaican drug traffickers, and that list includes a number of political personalities, why won't the authorities make the list public?
Is it on?
9. Is it true that there will be no Sunsplash this year; and did Digicel pull its sponsorship of the Montego Bay Jazz Festival based on the paucity of the last line-up?
Foreign property
10. Not only do a number of our politicians and aspirants have residency status in other lands, the talk is any journalist worth his or her salt, by merely conducting simple enquiries, would reveal a vast real estate portfolio registered in the name of one politician
