We're watching as 76-year-old Larry King's marriage to Shawn Southwick,50, unravels in what promises to be a nasty divorce .Ever since the dawn of time , older men have been chasing after much younger women. In ancient times a husband would just leave his old wife on top of a mountain top in order to chase down some nubile young homo erectus while the wife shivered in the altitude, and in Hollywood, where there is no shortage of young ladies looking for a successful man with a black AM EX, age difference s of more than twenty years between spounces are run of the mill.Hold on there Nellie, some breaking news just hit the wire:
Are Larry King and Shwan Southwick giving peace a chance in their marriage?
While a small step forward, RadarOnline .com reports that the duo is reconsidering their divorce and that for now the proceeding are on hold.Larry King and Shwan met with a counselor, the talk show host's spokeman Howard Rubenstein said. It was decided there would be no divorce activity for two weeks as several issures need to be discussed and resolved.
It's not exactly Peaches and Herb, but at least it's in the right direction for fans praying that King's seven wife could remain just that. Last Wednesday, King,76, and Southwick, 50, boyh filed divorce paper, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple wed in 1997 and have two sons: Chance and Cannon. The two reunited briefly for chance's baseball game last week in the midst of nasty reports about the two in various internet reports. But it was far, far to early to for this proverbial break-up commerical time out has been called. In her filing, Southwick had asked for primary custody of their kids, plus spousal and child support.
My spin on weirdness of Hollyweird:I don't think its just an age thing - I think it's an old man ego thing too. One can only imagine what these women had to do to keep there old celebrity fellas happy and feeling handsome as thier rating are dropping and their reputations flagging. But I'm sure Larry and mad Mel will soon be off into the arms of another young woman.
In Hollyweird age isn't just a number, it's a branding mechanism. Younger women can gain a brief moment of fame and enormous fortune just by playing ring around the bed pan for a few years with a much older man. How long can a relationship with a gaping generational gap last? As we've told you in the last couple of days, not forever.
So maybe Hollyweird have really run out of "Viagra ! Maybe these women are setting a trend. They could have a trophy wife revolt on their hands. Hopefufully Bravo television cameras will be there to tape it...I bet those guys thought they were getting pushovers. Guess not ! Stay tune : The saga continues, updates as they become available.
Kicking back and keeping it real:
