Phil Collins, who recently split from his third wife, has to pay her FORTY SIX MILLION dollars as stated by their divorce settlement. This is after paying his second wife THIRTY TWO million in that divorce. I’m not an expert on family law or anything, but seriously - how dumb is Phil Collins? How do you not get an air-tight pre-nup after shelling out 32 million dollars to wife number two? Just how much money does Phil Collins HAVE anyway? Holy crap.
You guys, total confession time. I was like, fanatically in love with Phil Collins when I was in junior high. I mean, FANATICAL. I even saved up my allowance to buy a Phil Collins CONCERT JACKET - a concert my parents didn’t even allow me to GO TO, mind you, because it was in Chicago and because they were highly overprotective. This jacket was like $80, so it took me MONTHS to save for it. I also had posters of Phil all over my room. While other girls were hanging up posters of attractive men who were on the covers of all the magazines, I was all googly eyed over Phil. And not because I thought he was hot - but because he was so adorably normal looking. I loved him SO MUCH. Whenever my parents were mad at me, I would imagine that Phil Collins was my dad, and that instead of making me go to school, he would just take me on the road with him and I would sing back-up.
Happily, I grew out of my Phil-Phase well before high school started, and impossible as it may be to believe, I was actually quite popular in high school. I know - totally amazing. I do still count “In The Air Tonight” as one of my all-time favorite songs, even though doing so automatically makes me a huge dork.
I feel closer to all of you for having shared that.
Wow! Phil Collins is straight? Maybe I confused him with Elton John or it could be that I find most Brits and Scots carry themselves in a particularly unmasculine fashion. I had a boss once who was Scottish and, seriously, I could SO picture this guy skipping down the hall. He never did it in the office, but I’m SURE he was a skipper.
My confession - as a kid, I had a giant poster of Kenny Rogers in a blue velour v-neck on my wall. God, I loved that poster. I feel I should note: this was before I hit puberty.
I broke my mother’s Genesis tape many years ago. Not out of some adolescent rage, but because I played it until it fell apart. Phil Collins is still on my playlists to this day.
And that just reminds me of how I drove my friends crazy in college making them listen to The Eagles and Don Henley’s solo work. It’s only fair, they made me listen to Sisqo (he who gave us the Thong Song. Yeah. Klassy.)
Just how much money does Phil Collins HAVE anyway?
Now I would say not much.
I was TOTALLY in love with Richard Marx. Yes, the “Right Here Waiting” guy. I remember imagining him singing that song to me.
Oh, how embarrassing that confession is.
Men, divorce should be considered as a last resort to fix a relationship problem. This type of procedure is very serious and it has to be a decision that is well thought out before attempting to start the process. When you are filing for divorce, you will want to notify the court that you are going to proceed with the dissolution of your marriage. You will file a summons and petition the court in your county. Before you decide to file for divorce, you will want to choose the proper state and county to file your papers. You must make sure that you are ready for the long haul in a divorce. There are going to be many different alternatives in a divorce proceeding. You will probably find it to be necessary to hire and attorney to take care of the proceedings in your divorce.
