It's all over for Jamelia and Darren

More bad news on the Brit-islandista front.

After four years together, singer Jamelia and her footballer husband Darren Byfield are divorcing.

Her rep announced it in a statement this week which read:

It is with regret that Jamelia and Darren Byfield today confirm they are splitting up and getting a divorce.
"No one else is involved. Their priority is naturally their two children."

Very short and to the point. Wonder if more will come out later on.

Interestingly enough, just two weeks ago, Jamelia was posing on the red carpet with 50 Cent at a movie premiere. (check pic at right)

We didn't think anything of it then... but now... well, clearly she was sending out a signal.

Political relationship commess in GT and TCI

Ok, so for some reason, baaaaare dirt has been spilt in the last two weeks on some high-profile political relationships- the former or soon to be former 'First Ladies' of Guyana and Turks and Caicos have been talking out a lot in the last two weeks about their estranged husbands and their relationships.

The most fascinating commess has been with Varshnie Singh, estranged wife of Guyanese President Bharrat Jagdeo who went public in a press conference last week accusing her husband of "high-tech domestic violence".

The two announced their seperation in 2007 and have been working out a settlement since then, which seems to be part of the problem. In the meantime, Varshnie was still in an apartment in the Presidential complex... until Bharrat allegedly put her out with only the clothes on her back. Cha.

A likkle dancehall suss

So hear this now... Beenie Man is set to be a grandfather - at the ripe 'ole' age of 35! 

According to one876entertainment.com, his 16 year old daughter is about 6 months preggers and expecting a girl.

No comment yet from Beenie's people but rumours have been flying around JA for days and an unnamed 'industry insider' confirmed it, telling one876:

"She is not here, she is in Florida. The rumors were getting out of hand, Beenie Man is going through a lot right now, my heart goes out to him at this time because of all his other troubles. It’s tough for this to happen, but I guess it is also another life coming into the world."

A so it go. Damn shame but it does happen. Apparently the girl's mother lives in Canada but she lives in JA. Hm. I have my own views about Jamaican women and their penchant for emigrating and leaving their children back a yaad but that is a whole other post.

People have been susu-ing about who is the baby father. Some say it is a teenaged boy she was going out with a few months back, others say it is a fairly prominent DJ... awoaah! You know this isn't the last you will hear of this...

Anyways, onward islandistas!

Vybz Kartel is now a bachelor. 

*silence*

What, not appealing to you? Not me either, but it is news. I don't know how these dancehall DJs don't seem able to keep a wife. First Beenie and D'Angel didn't last longer than a sno-cone in hell and now Vybz and the woman he just married not two years ago done. Apparently she live 'a farrin' and stopped visiting him after his US visa was revoked. In two twos (well maybe more than two) she was pregnant and not for him. So that kind of done up them marriage.

Passa passa in abundance...mi seh!
