London 2012 Olympics Won't Compete With Beijing Games The 2012 Summer Olympics will take place in London and the city is already admitting their turn to host will not be as extravagant as Beijing. Britain has nothing to feel badly about; this year's Olympics were the most expensive in history, and it's unlikely another city would top that.

UK Equality Minister Harriet Harman has spearheaded proposed laws that would encourage companies to publish figures showing their average gender pay gap.

Prenups Are Legally Binding, But Not Everywhere Charlotte's first Sex and the City husband, Trey McDougall, comes from Scottish blood, but he'd probably be a proponent of the UK Law Commission's discussion to make prenuptial agreements legally binding. Americans are no strangers to the legal contracts that outline the division of assets in case of divorce, while couples in the UK haven't been operating under the same options. Remember when Paul McCartney paid Heather Mills a settlement of $48.6 million as the result of an intense divorce proceeding?
