Orlando calls itself "the City Beautiful." It's not. Yes, there are palm trees and blue skies and sparkling swimming pools and the best A/C on earth. But "beautiful" is the kind of generic word you use when your identity is so vague that you can't come up with anything better—or so multi-faceted that you give up trying. So which one is Orlando? Who is Orlando? It's the city Walt Disney built, sprinkling swampland with pixie dust and transforming it into a magic kingdom. It's got Cinderella's Castle and gay nightclubs and alligators and office parks and cockroaches the size of babies' feet.

Singer Sarah McLachlan is splitting from her husband of 11 years Ashwin Sood - who is also the drummer in her band.

The Canadian star had no intention of announcing the split, but realised she couldn't hide their separation - as two songs on her upcoming album detail her heartbreak.

She says, "I'm separating from my husband, so these are the songs about that.

"I wasn't planning on saying anything but it's gonna come out at some point. I haven't said anything about it because I've been terrified to, but I figure... there's no good time to say it, so I just said it."

U Want Me 2 and Don't Give Up On Us will feature on her forthcoming greatest hits LP Closer: The Best of Sarah McLachlan.

The couple - who have two daughters, Ann Sushil, six, and Taja Summer, 14 months - have not elaborated on reasons for their separation.
