The Pre-Nup

January 15, 2013 in Fiction, Humour, Marriage

Reid Blackwell stood on the platform that had been specifically built for the execution of his pre-nuptial agreement. His soon to be ex-wife, Marcella, stood a short distance from him, looking slightly guilty, but not entirely unhappy with the situation. She was standing with her lawyer who was perusing some documentation. His own lawyer stood nervously with Reid, fearful of the sheer-drop at the end of the platform. “Are you sure there’s nothing you can do?” asked Reid. “I’m sorry, mate,” replied his lawyer, “I’ve tried everything. Their case seems pretty water-tight. Are you sure you can’t think of anything else?” Reid shook his head, [...]

Monique’s Top Ten Celeb Wrap Up 2012

December 14, 2012 in Celebrity, Entertainment, Film & TV, Music

As 2012 is drawing to a close, I thought I would lead you on a trip down memory lane of the top ten biggest stories in Hollywood this year. As I’ve only been limited to ten, there are many I have had to leave out (such as Disney buying Star Wars which, lets face it, was HUGE). It’s been absolutely fantastic sharing these Friday afternoons with you all and I hope you have enjoyed them as much as I have. Due to technical difficulties, I haven’t been able to do a top 5 for the week, but I do have [...]

What I Know (Or Don’t Know) About Men

November 26, 2012 in Family, Gender, People, Relationships, Self

The first thing I learnt about men was loss. It was a tough lesson to learn, especially in your first week at Kindergarten. My younger brother, Michael, had passed away from spinabifida. Grief was not an emotion that I recognised. I remember my kindergarten teacher carrying me around the classroom when I went back to school. She had the kindest heart and made me feel safe during a time of uncertainty. I remember Mr O’Brien used to come into our classroom and draw grand pictures on our blackboard and his handwriting was so neat. I wanted to be neat and [...]

Close Call & Monique’s Celeb Top 5

October 12, 2012 in Celebrity, Entertainment, Film & TV

Happy Friday! Not sure about where you are, but this week, it has not felt like Spring at all. It’s been a bit chilly and windy and yesterday (Thursday) was definitely the kind of day where I would have loved to stay snuggled up inside all day watching a movie. Unfortunately, most workplaces don’t understand that need. Weird, right? Anyway, it has been a full on week in Hollywood, there have been so many marriages but unfortunately, I haven’t written about any of them as there has been more pressing news. Enjoy… 1. Tori Spelling nearly died while pregnant Reality [...]

The Last Slice: Need And Forgiveness

September 12, 2012 in Family, Fiction, Friendship, Marriage, Relationships, Sex, Stories

“The Last Slice” is a short fiction serial about the customers and staff of the The Last Slice Cafe. It felt strange for Sandy to be sitting in The Last Slice Cafe again, especially on a Friday night. Thomas had somehow persuaded Cat to let Sandy meet with her. Sitting across the table from Cat made Sandy realise how much she missed her friend, but she could also feel the distance between them. It was as if an invisible barrier lay between them, and all she needed was to find a key, so maybe – just maybe – she could [...]

Time Alone Is Part of Balanced Parenting

August 30, 2012 in Anecdotes, Children, Family, Mothers, Parenting, People, Relationships, Stories

Sometimes being a parent is a weird dichotomy of feelings. And sometimes being apart from your kids is too. I was sitting at a table in my local pub. This was back when my boys were spending weekends at their grandparents, so their father could spend time with them. I had Friday night to myself. This pub, within walking distance from my house, was a regular haunt for dinner on my own. At first I felt incredibly awkward, going there by myself. I felt like everyone was looking at me and pitying me for being alone, or worse. Gradually I [...]

The Nine Lives of Charlie Sheen

August 20, 2012 in Celebrity, Entertainment, Film & TV, Health, Marriage, Relationships, Sex

I am going to tell you something that might shock you. I am a woman that enjoys watching misogynist shows such as Two and a Half Men and Anger Management. There’s no disputing that Charlie Sheen succeeds in comedy, he has over a million viewers to thank for that, but what Charlie sucks at is life. For the past 20 years, Charlie Sheen has allegedly assaulted, threatened, harassed, abused, and – in one incident – shot women. I in no way condone his behaviour, yet by watching his shows I realise I am contributing to the idea that this is [...]

Once A Cheater, Always A Cheater… Right?

August 1, 2012 in Anecdotes, Celebrity, Dating, Entertainment, Film & TV, Marriage, Relationships, Sex, Stories

So Kristen Stewart cheated on Robert Pattinson – I know, my jaw dropped when I found out. For a woman who often appears so sullen in her interaction with the media, I have read interviews where ‘R-Patz’ has defended her ‘shy’ behavior and it would appear he is nothing short of a gentleman when discussing her or making appearances with her. Not only did Kristen cheat, but she cheated with a married father (who is equally complicit). Kristen was busted when photos that were undeniable in their authenticity and physical interaction surfaced. She took to twitter almost immediately, making the [...]
