Tuesdaytalk - Hottest topics on the cocktail circuit

Another trip down the aisle?

1. Close friends say the former beauty queen is now certain that she has found the one in her tall, accented beau. They insist plans are in the works for their nuptials later this year. Meantime, colleagues say when they think of her, they begin to understand the adage "see me and come live with me". She is known to have a very hard edge.

2. If he had the time, he might have been able to convince his bosses that a corporate jet would have added that extra ounce of star quality needed for him to stamp his mark on corporate Jamaica.

Sharing spoils

3. How is this for a bad life: he loses his job, and soon after, his wife files for divorce? Such is the life of the one-time high flyer who knew how to work the good corporate-itizen angle. Friends say the long-suffering wife has grown tired of his infidelities which have made her the butt of many cruel jokes over nearly three decades.
