Jerry Hall is marrying Rupert Murdoch.

I thought this was on Onion article type joke,it's not:


After a four-month romance, the pair announced their engagement on the Births, Marriages and Deaths page of Murdoch's newspaper, The Times on Monday.

"Mr Rupert Murdoch, father of Prudence, Elisabeth, Lachlan, James, Grace and Chloe Murdoch, and Miss Jerry Hall, mother of Elizabeth, James, Georgia and Gabriel Jagger are delighted to announce their engagement," the classified ad read.

The 84-year-old billionaire businessman is the chairman of News Corporation which owns The Times.

Murdoch and Hall, 59, made a rare appearance at the Golden Globes together on Sunday, after "getting engaged over the weekend in Los Angeles," according to the announcement.

Maybe not in the same vein as Murdoch, but he (and his son) are involved with Britain's Countryside Alliance. And of course, there were those comments about Nazi style that should cause pause.

Countryside Alliance promotes an image of traditional rural England that does find common ground between left and right in Britain. However, underneath the support for such things as small farming is the maintenance of the current land structure dominated by the aristocracy. Moreover, it attempts to bookend concern for small farming with such things as hunting. So, yes, conservative, but not like Murdoch.

I keep seeing mental images of Jerry Hall in the Batman movie. You know where the Joker "fixes" her.
