So Close To Death 'Til They Part

Recently filed court documents show that entertainment mogul Sumner Redstone has filed for divorce from his wife of five years. And you can bet that's far less than their age difference.

The 85-year-old executive chairman of CBS and Viacom petitioned for divorce last week. The papers say Redstone and his (ex) wife, Paula Fortunato Redstone (46), already have a settlement agreement. The couple married in April 2003 and have no children. Redstone's declaration cited "irreconcilable differences" but provided no further details. I'm also certain irreconcilable bowel trouble is something he's been contending with lately as well.

By the way, Forbes magazine calculated Redstone's wealth at $7.6 billion in 2007. Nice.
