CNN Founder Ted Turner 'Spends One Week Each Month With A Different Girlfriend' Ted Turner, the 73-year-old billionaire founder of CNN, has revealed that he has four girlfriends each of whom he spends one week with a month.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter the media mogul and philanthropist, who owns 28 homes including 14 ranches, said a week per month for each girlfriend was "pretty much the general rule." By Nick Allen 29 Feb 2012

Turner and his third wife Jane Fonda divorced in 2001, after 10 years of marriage, and the Oscar-winning actress has been replaced in his personal life by a complicated arrangement involving a quartet of other women. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter the media mogul and philanthropist, who owns 28 homes including 14 ranches, said a week per month for each girlfriend was "pretty much the general rule." He only named one of the women, the novelist Elizabeth Dewberry, who was with him at the time in New York. Until five years ago Miss Dewberry was married to the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert Olen Butler.

When they separated Butler wrote an email to friends, which was leaked to the media, in which he said: "She will not be Ted's only girlfriend.

Ted is permanently and avowedly non-monogamous. But though he has several girlfriends, it is a very small number, and he does not take them up lightly."

Asked if the other three unnamed women in his life were happy to share him, Turner replied: "Sort of." He still speaks to Fonda about once a month and, according to one friend, is "still in love with her."

Oscar Wilde pegged it, “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”

One of the legal pundits on FNC today told S.S., "Don't hate the player, hate the game."

I hate that the foolish player makes up rules on his own and I pity the people that the sad fool has any association with.

Don’t feel sad about Turner — he gets his ashes hauled.

In his state of mind, that’s all he aspires to.

Heck, I’m surprised he doesn’t have 28
One for every HOUSE.

What an irrelevant loser. No one cares about this Commie Pinko and what Upper East Side elitist whore he is sleeping with that day. I hope all the players in this mess get a bad case of the clap.

I understand that he’s been pretty nuts (paranoia being one of his conditions) for a long time.

Yeah but his biggest bitch/whore is the one named AOL who ripped him to shreds and in his place. People like him and Al Gore need to vanish from Earth as soon as possible...ditto Soros. Just evil deranged people.

And they still don’t think legalizing gay marriage would lead to a call from the liberal elite to legalize polygamy? Or incest? Or bestiality. Actually there was an article on one of those U.K. newspaper sites a while back about an incestuous couple trying to claim it was a healthy relationship, and a good portion of the comments started to mimic all the pro-gay marriage arguments...they’re not hurting anyone, should have the freedom to love who they want to love, etc. Whenever I argue with people who are for gay marriage, I’m able to eventually get them to say they’d be okay with legalizing incestuous marriage if it meant gay marriage would be legal too.

Maybe someday you'll grow up and start acting like an adult.
