Palaver

Even though many people gushed with praise for star singer Whitney Houston when she died, we know they only referred to her drug habit while she lived. Of course they all blamed her decline on Bad Boy Bobby Brown to whom she was married. She divorced the chap in life and in death, she has again left him nothing in her will.

Everything goes to the daughter they shared, Bobbi Kristina, now aged 19. She left all of her assets to daughter Bobbi Kristina, from her marriage to Brown, who gets nothing. Bobbi, who is now 19, will receive proceeds from all the money, furniture, clothing, personal effects, jewelry, and cars. The inheritance will be in a trust until Bobbi is 21. Interestingly, Whitney wrote the will when still married to Mr Brown. Ouch!!

Poor Mitt Romney, even with a growing delegates pledge list, his Republican opponents refuse to quit. In fact, Rick Santorum says that "If the governor now thinks he’s now ordained by God to win, then let’s just have it out." Then Sarah Palin comes out of the woodwork like a broken record and pledges support for former Speaker Newt Gingrich. Democracy in action, eh?

French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s campaign for re-election is struggling as pollsters currently place Socialist Party’s Francois Hollande at about 30 per cent to Sarkozy’s 25 per cent. Meanwhile, the Greeks are threatening to default on some French and German bailout loan and he is fighting off hostility from Jews and Muslim leaders over halal or kosher meat. The he goes and complains there are too many foreigners in France! Really Nick? Thought you are yourself the child of a Hungarian immigrant ? Strange folks these politicians when an electoral seat is at stake.

And finally...

Okay, so Prince Harry is on a goodwill tour of Central America and the Caribbean and really living it up, you would think? The British royal may not be hulking like Usain Bolt (who he met) or as lanky as Peter Crouch, but you must give it to him. The prince is looking to date newly-divorced singer Katy Perry, who we hope he shall bring to a certain Mt Kenya retreat, real soon. His brother’s wife is also a Kate. What is it with these Diana boys and Kates? Only time will tell.
