2009-present: Later Events
By April 2009 Cosima De Vito was a sponsor for Girls with a Purpose, a program by charity organisation, Lifehouse Project, to address issues of concern for 13 to 18 year-old girls: "body image, family conflict and coping with stress". In May De Vito lost her long running legal battle with former managers, Nellis and Gardner, and was ordered to pay Nellis $30,000, plus $7,000 legal fees. Supreme Court of New South Wales Justice Nigel Rein, ruled in the case, CN Presents Pty Ltd v De Vito NSWSC 388, that De Vito should pay Nellis and stated, "t does seem his work was minimal but it was his idea and he prepared a budget or proposal". The claim of $500,000 for breach of management contract or lost royalties was denied. In June De Vito told New Idea's Jenny Brown, "It's been a huge challenge, emotionally and financially... I was very green. I had no idea how to put an album together, so I relied on my managers. I should have trusted my own instincts". During late 2009 to early 2010 she undertook a solo Tribute to the Divas show featuring work by Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Shirley Bassey, Whitney Houston and Celine Dion. De Vito has performed songs in Italian at festivals. On 10 October 2012 Cosima released her latest single "Right Here Right Now" A radio version & dance remix, a fresh new sound created by male & female dj duo "Tho$e Deejayz"

Famous quotes containing the word events:
““The ideal reasoner,” he remarked, “would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it but also all the results which would follow from it.””
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
