Celebrity marriages are one thing that I will never understand.

Larry King is possibly calling it quits with wife number 4,957,999. OK, in reality the CNN Talk Show host has not actually been married that many times, but it seems like it. Eight marriages should be more than enough for one man, but not for that talk show host. Now, in what has to the be ultimate humiliation for Larry King, his wife Shawn Southwick has admitted to an affair with their son’s little league baseball coach.

WTF? Having an affair with your tennis pro is one thing, but having an affair with a little league coach puts Shawn Southwick in another league entirely.

An interview with Hector Penate, who is the fortunate the baseball coach, will air tomorrow on Entertainment Tonight. Although I am not usually a fan of either little league baseball, Larry King or Entertainment Tonight, I may just have to tune in to see exactly how Hector got a home run with Larry King’s wife. Granted, Larry King is much, much older than his hot wife, and is probably not nearly as good looking as the little league coach, but how did the coach get the chance to be alone with the wife without Larry King or their son present? Did she make an appointment to speak to the coach privately about her son’s performance as a first-baseman for the team?

I guess we’ll have to wait and see to find out.


As for the divorce, the couple filed for divorce after arguing publicly in a restaurant, but are maybe trying to work it out according to Larry King’s attorney.

 Classy, Larry. Really, classy- arguing in a restaurant. That’s almost as bad as having your car beaten with golf clubs. Of course, how classy can a man really be who is allegedly having an affair with his wife’s sister?

Ouch. That has to hurt Shawn Southwick’s vanity if nothing else.

The strangest thing to me about the whole situation is the fact that Larry King and Shawn Southwick don’t have a pre-nuptual agreement. How can someone who has been married eight times and reportedly earns over 14 million dollars a year be so stupid as to marry a woman who is significantly hotter than he is without the protections afforded by a pre-nuptual agreement?

What on earth was Larry King thinking? As a rule of thumb, if you are rich and have been married more than two times, sign a pre-nup before you get married to number three.
