Actress Tricia Walsh-Smith felt frustrated over the consequences of the breakup of her marriage, and posted a video on YouTube to vent. I expected to hear a story of mistreatment or infidelity or at least something sad. But it's all about money and property. She signed a prenup that gives her few rights, and she's angry. Instead of gaining sympathy, the video paints an unflattering portrait of the actress. OK, why does a woman marry a wealthy man 25 years older than she is who won't have sex with her? If it were for career enhancement (he owns a group of Broadway theaters) she should've taken advantage of it so she wouldn't be worried about starving now. And why didn't she read the prenup before signing it? If I read a clause about a man's right to throw me out of our home with 30 days notice, it would cause me to question his love and commitment. YouTubers wasted no time responding with their own videos. Meanwhile, lawyers for both sides of the divorce are scrambling to see what they can do with this public stunt.
On a totally unrelated note, the topic today at Miss Cellania is prostitution.

Actress? IMDB says she hasn't been in anything since 1986. Sounds to me like she is just another money grubbing ho!
Another thing that struck me was her use of the word "pension" for her allotment if he were to die. In the US, we would say bequest, trust fund allotment, or inheritance. "Pension" is used for continued income after retiring from a job. Is this a British term used properly here, or am I reading too much into it?
