Shalini — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 17:16:40 +0000

The pop star has been seen around her Cheshire home minus her wedding ring. It’s been a hard time for Kerry recently, with the split from her husband, Mark Croft. He said she was cheating on him and she threw him out of her mansion. They’ve been married three years and they have two children.

However, Kerry is looking much trimmer after the split – she has lost three stone. Like the true reality star she is, she seems to have tied up with the media to track events in her life - so the cameras started rolling ever since she left the UK after her split with Mark. She had headed off to Tenerife for a bit but she’s back now.

Before he got married, he says he cheated on his wife, Emma and he’s really sorry. The Take That singer has said that he had ten affairs before he slipped on that wedding ring. The couple have two children and the star says that the turning point was his wedding day in November 2009 – he’s never cheated since.So why now, one might ask? Apparently he had been living with the guilt and he wanted to come out with it so that’s why he’s spilled the stories of his many affairs and many women. In the same breath, he has asked the media to be sensitive where his wife and children are concerned. Looks like the public outpouring was supposed to be an apology for actions that no one knew about till now.

He wasn’t ready to confess to the public that he really was engaged to the make-up artist on his show, not even when she was seen sporting a huge rock of a ring on her left hand. However, at on the Jay Leno show two days ago, Simon Cowell finally came out and told the world that he was engaged to Mezhgan Hussainy. Even though speculation is rife that he actually proposed on Valentine’s Day, he refused to get drawn into making any confessions of how, where and when.

Of course, a bit of his acerbic wit came to his aid and he said that it would be a shame if what he was wasn’t carried on – so he’s obviously looking forward to little Simons coming along. Famous for his caustic wit and quick comebacks, maybe this was one time that Simon did look a bit embarrassed but it’s obvious he’s very much in love.

Diamond Rings And Diamond Shares On The Road To Recovery

Shalini — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:34:10 +0000

Last year, there was a sharp drop in diamond shares because people weren’t buying as many diamond rings or diamond jewellery as before. The common man tightened his belt with the onset of the recession and the first thing to be hit was the luxury items, seeing a drop in diamond stock rates. Now suddenly, all that looks set for change and people are going out and buying diamond rings and jewellery again with the market recovery. So diamond stocks are expected to reflect that and start going up soon too.

Right now might be a good time to invest in diamond stocks as a lot of diamond mining companies are being traded at much less than their actual value – something that won’t happen for too long. With demand of diamonds slated to go up in the months to come, the stocks will too. According to the experts, investing in companies that are already producing diamonds rather than ones in the exploration stage might be a good idea.
