Won't go into any more detail but I reckon he's lucky to have so much money that he can buy everybody off including the ex-wives. Like I say, I'd be interested to see the pre-nup if this marriage goes ahead. One thing is for sure, imo, I doubt the children and the ex-wives will be welcoming Gerrt into the bosom of the extended Murdoch clan with any enthusiasm. I strongly suspect that might be (one) of the reasons L'Wren came a cropper. I suspect she was a bit gullible to quite honestly as Jagger is quite a creep if you can get past his millions. His face alone these days is enough to curdle milk....and in fact you could say the same for old Rupes.

I've got several degrees and often make simple errors such as the one you've drawn attention to. Rosalinda isn't writing an academic essay here; it's her blog. Your comment is about your own insecurities and nasty desire to deride others. Truly educated people don't need to bang on about spelling on a blog! I take it you're not someone Rosalinda has designated to act as some kind of university professor; here to point out her spelling errors? Your kind of one-upmanship is sickening. It's an easy error to make. In fact, Shakespeare came up with the term "bated breath", when he wrote "The Merchant of Venice". Prior to that, the term did not exist. Someone like you would no doubt have shouted "Hey Will - there's no such thing as a bated breath. And you, a grammar school boy, eh?" People who use the internet as the spelling police are simply pathetic.

Especially on his side. Murdoch is in dire need of some good PR and having a statuesque blond at his side is good for his reputation management. I'd be interested to see the pre-nups if they ever do get married! <br /><br />Mick Jagger is notoriously stingy - wonder how Rupert measures up in that department?<br /><br />I find both these men odious in the extreme. When young, Jagger undoubtedly had sex appeal however since middle-age I would say his sex appeal is purely down to his fame and wealth. Neither of these men are attractive in any way APART from having power and money. I've met Jagger on many occasions and I worked for Murdoch. Both cold fish. Jerry is sweet but not the brightest and I think her taste in men reflects this. I think she should run like crazy - Murdoch has a lot of dirt attached to him. Jerry is a PR stunt for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-65901785455162623722016-01-21T00:10:39.410+00:002016-01-21T00:10:39.410+00:00Anon 14.40 - You ask Rosalinda if she is jealous o...Anon 14.40 - You ask Rosalinda if she is jealous of Tony Bennett's intelligence. I've read Tony Bennett's "stuff" and I don't see any great "intellect". <br /><br />Bennett is ruled by a number of religious principles, to which he has a perfect "right" in his personal life, but he applies them to his so called "analysis" of the Madeleine McCann case, which leads to nothing other than the speculations of man obsessed with certain ideals. He doesn't appear to have grasped many of the principles of Law 101. His personal view of the world leads to an inordinate amount of speculation, and pure fantasy.<br /><br />I read a letter he received from Carter Ruck, and whatever one thinks of them, in this particular instance, I had to sympathise. The lawyer at Carter Ruck wrote (in part), something very close to "I really don't know what point it is that you are trying to make". <br /><br />Bennett's writing is ponderous and convoluted. Simply because someone can string a lot of words together, does not make them especially intelligent. He does not actually possess the necessary analytical skills to be a successful lawyer, which is probably why he is a "failed" one. <br /><br />I have done a legitimate mensa test, and, having passed its "requirements", I've been invited to join its "club". I've chosen not to. It doesn't make me better than anyone else, but it does put my own "intellect" in the upper 2 percent of the general population. It is my observation that Tony Bennett's "intellect" is well above average, but decidedly lacking in many of the necessary attributes that make for a valid contribution to the discussion about what happened to Madeleine McCann.<br /><br />Rosalinda is a far better writer than Tony Bennett, and I would wager that her IQ is actually higher than that of Mr. Bennett. I wouldn't suggest they enter such a competition because "intelligence", as defined in the West, is a concept that was developed by English men at a certain time in history, and although they are valid in assessing certain aspects of intelligence, they don't include emotional intelligence, which I consider of equal importance. Although there is no official "EQ" (emotional intelligence) "test" that I know of, I believe that Rosalinda's "EQ" is far superior to that of Tony Bennett.<br /><br />I would far rather read Rosalinda's writings than those of Mr. Bennett. She is entertaining. He is not. Okay, so analysing the Madeleine McCann case is not meant to be a night of comedy, but her points about the case are also far more insightful than those of Mr. Bennett. <br /><br />Since we are not in court, adding a dash of caustic humour to the discussion (as Rosalinda does) is far more likely to make people want to tune into the discussion. Therefore, adding humour to the discourse, is an "intelligent" way to get people engaged.<br /><br />Tony Bennett's boring, ponderous, pompous writing about the case, is nothing other than attempt to appear "intelligent" - to a small band of followers who don't have the "intelligence" to see what he is actually doing. His well above average "intelligence" impresses those of average intelligence, and sends a large number of morons into rapture.<br /><br />If the welfare of children were really Mr. Bennett's motive (as he claims), he would be spending his time focussing on the welfare of the many disadvantaged, living children who are not famous. Instead, he elects a famous, "missing" child that he believes is dead, and devotes what appears to be the vast majority of his life to writing about what happened to her. I don't believe his "motive" for one second.<br /><br />His motive is to gain the adoration he gets from people such as yourself, who compliment him on his "intelligence". <br /><br />So, my question to you is this: Why would Rosalinda be jealous of Tony Bennett? <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-56619588438541148842016-01-17T16:13:22.529+00:002016-01-17T16:13:22.529+00:00How sweet - havern has photoshopped a "birthd...How sweet - havern has photoshopped a "birthday cake" for cmomm facebook birthday!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-64713963284212681792016-01-17T11:20:11.590+00:002016-01-17T11:20:11.590+00:00Hello Whiskers (love the name), I suspect that was...Hello Whiskers (love the name), I suspect that was tigger, for some reason she thinks MI5 (or is MI6?) and every National newspaper are after her, lol.

Quite good at attack and contradiction yourself.<br /><br />Your snide comment about 'far more attractive women' is beyond contempt. I have never found Ms Hall to be anything special in the looks department and credit her modelling success with her being abnormally tall and willowy.

I was quite happy to wear the French maid's outfit - though not quite so happy when one of my ex's wore it! It was a wtf moment, I only stepped out of the room for 5 minutes! I really should save these lurid tales for somewhere (anywhere) else, lol, but I'm in a giggly mood, and they just slip out. <br /><br />I did once charge a guy £30. I hasten to add, he was my boyfriend and it was all part of sex/role playing game, lol. He 'picked me up' in a sleazy bar then off we went to a hotel, 5* of course, I have standards, ha ha. If I was going to give up my fillet mignon, I was going to have a pair a shoes! <br /><br />Sadly for me, love or should I say lust, has never lasted longer than 2 years, tops. And in some cases the urge to kill after mating, surpasses my need for a cigarette and a cup of tea. (I may have been a black widow spider in a previous life). <br /><br />I jest of course, one of the happiest (craziest)times of my life, were the 'married' years, I loved someone who was the opposite to me in every way and foolishly believed I could change him, the 'love' I couldn't do anything about, it was beyond my control. <br /><br />Anyway, good on you 19:31 sounds like you have a 'good 'un'. I'm really not anti marriage or people finding their soul mates.

I find his need to punish and ostracise people quite chilling.<br /><br />I don't actually feel jealousy 14:40, its an emotion I have never had, not even when I was passionately in love. Life is tough enough without worrying about what others have or haven't got, lol. <br /><br />If I were to be jealous of others' writing ability, where do you think Bennett would be on a list that includes Harper Lee, PG Wodehouse, Edgar Allen Poe, Christopher Hitchens and the fabulous Sue Townsend? lol. And I am not jealous of them btw, I admire them, they inspire me. <br /><br />As for Mr. Bennett's intellect? Sadly for him, it is stunted. It became very firmly fixed at a very young age and it has shut out everything else since. <br /><br />I find people with one track minds curious 14:40, and in my lifelong quest to discover what it is that makes people evil, I am drawn towards studying them. At the moment, I lean towards nurture. <br /><br />As a convent child sitting with the nuns on the left hand side of the cold, stone church, before the sun even rose, I would look over at the 'normal' families on the right, the kids especially because they were 'free'. But do you know what, the children of those fine, upstanding citizens looked more miserable than we did. <br /><br />I have the one thing I have always wanted for myself 14:40, 'A Room of One's Own' and the time and freedom to write. <br /><br />Admittedly, it would be nice if that room overlooked a Brighton beach or better still, the Agatha Christie suite in Egypt - a travelogue is on my wish list too, but ce la vie. <br /><br />Please note, nothing Bennett is or has, is on my wish list, a key factor in jealousy I would have thought. On the contrary, Anthony Bennett's wiki entry makes chilling reading. It is a CV filled with racism and homophobia, and reads like the life of a very angry, bitter man. <br /><br />And while I am being philosophical, all we really have to leave to our descendants is our legacy. For myself, if they can say, 'she was a good egg', I will be happy :) <br /><br />Rosalinda Huttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01497239700092619580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-34848311611122958242016-01-16T09:47:45.629+00:002016-01-16T09:47:45.629+00:00Quite Brilliant Thomas!
