News Corporation's boss Rupert Murdoch has filed for divorce from his wife Wendi Deng, the company confirms.

The couple, who were married in 1999, have two children together.

According to a Hollywood gossip website, the couple filed their divorce papers at the New York state supreme court on Thursday morning.

In 2011, Ms Deng famously leapt to her husband's defence to slap a protester who threw a pie at him as British MPs quizzed him over phone-hacking.

3. The beginning of the end for Murdoch?

4. Oh hardly. How many wives has Trump, Gingrich & Limbaugh had ?

Doesn't stop their fans, or their investors.

5. LOL.

So true.

6. Isn't she over 40 now?

Yeah, time to get a new one. That's how men like Murdoch and Trump operate.

[Nye Bevan]

10. Or her pre-nup vested and she decided to get rid of him?

(Not that I would blame her).

12. He's the one that filed, not her

Not that she's going to have a rough time of it. I'm sure she's seeking out her next bank account right now.

16. That might be just for economic purposes. He has the money.

9. Something is not quite right here.

11. Man, I just couldn't get into bed with an ugly dude like that

I just don't love money enough. I'd rather take up residence under an overpass.

I often wonder how the 4th Mrs. Limbaugh does it.

[adieu]

14. It helps to be female to marry for money

you can just close your eyes and lie there. As a guy, trying to schtupp someone as ugly as Rupert, I'd never get it up for the endeavor.

13. Mark 10:12

Jesus himself said:

"Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her; and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery."

So I'm sure conservative right wing Christians won't turn against him as long as he never remarries for the rest of his miserable life. However, if he eventually enters into a state of serial adultery, sinning against god on a daily basis, I fully expect them to shun him.

15. “I am totally blindsided by this,” Satan told reporters. “He and I talk every day.”

HELL (The Borowitz Report)—Word that the News Corporation chief executive Rupert Murdoch has filed for divorce from his wife, Wendi Deng, came as a “total surprise” to longtime Murdoch confidant Satan, the Lord of the Underworld said today.

A frequent dining companion of the Murdochs, Satan said he “didn’t have a clue that they were having problems.”

“I’ve had dozens of dinners with them in the Hamptons,” he said. “Did they bicker? No more than other couples. But they seemed to be on the same page about all the important things, like creating corrupt media monopolies and buying politicians. I thought they were for keeps.”
