The Goose Is Cooked
I love news from England.
It is never dull.
In fact, the more dull you think
it might be, it seems like the
opposite proves true. Things
are never exactly as you
imagine the might be.
London personality Gordon Ramsey
has fires going off in every kitchen
these days, and the term Hell’s Kitchen
seems especially apt. When he’s not
being reported to have financial difficulties,
the questions come up about having affairs
and betrayal of his wife.
Gordon Ramsay is refusing comment.
Wouldn’t you?
Mr. Ramsay (Mr. £60million) is portrayed
as a loving dad with high devotion to his wife.
His wife Tana and he live is a £3.5million
London residence.
According to The News of the World
the report goes ‘They had sex.’
And they are not talking about the
G-man and his wife.
He and Ms. Tana married some
12 years ago. It should be noted
that they now have 4 kids all under
the age of 9.
Their names are Megan, Jack,
Holly, and Tilly. Holly and Jack
are twins.
In 2006 and in 2007 he (G ) was
voted Celebrity Father of the Year,
and also they have been named
Celebrity Family of the Year.
Isn’t that ironic.
His London flagship hospitality
establishment is named Foxtrot
Oscar. Now it is closed 2 days
a week.
Other London establishments of
his are for sale.
$14 million and the Royal Bank
of Scotland add spice to the story,
a reported loan according to
sources close to the matter.
Then there’s the issue of two
years of back taxes reportedly
also owed. Wonder if that is
true.
Flying about London these days
are many a rumor to the effect
that some restaurants owned
by the star are now asking for
extended payment plans to
suppliers. Of course, rumors
fly around alot.
All this is in start contrast when
viewed in the context of his
startling success, such as his
most recent Michelin star in Tokyo,
and his career total of an enormous
14 stars awarded.
The restaurant stars it seems have
the tendency to come and go, and
two went away in the pocket of his
protege Marcus Waring who also
took key employees when he departed.
It is really not our place to be throwing
stones. Not me, anyway.
I am only pointing out that this is a
very interesting story, and it is indeed
very interesting the messes that high
energy, big personality celebrity
persons sometimes find themselves
in from time to time.
I do not know whether this is a case
of mania gone wild, or of drugs
being abused as many have alluded
to the use of sexual stimulants, but
it does cause one to ponder such
issues, and to be thankful for ones
own slow and boring life free of
such entanglements and dramas.
