Rupert Murdoch set to marry for fifth time at 92

Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch has announced his engagement to his partner Ann Lesley Smith, a former police chaplain. Mr Murdoch, 92, and Ms Smith, 66, met in September at an event at his vineyard in California. The businessman told the New York Post, one of his own publications: "I dreaded falling in love - but I knew this would be my last. It better be. I'm happy." He split with fourth wife Jerry Hall last year. Mr Murdoch added that he proposed to Ms Smith on St Patrick's Day, noting that he was "one fourth Irish" and had been "very nervous". Ms Smith's late husband was Chester Smith, a country singer and radio and TV executive. "For us both it's a gift from God. We met last September," she told the New York Post. "I'm a widow of 14 years. Like Rupert, my husband was a businessman... so I speak Rupert's language. We share the same beliefs." Mr Murdoch, who has six children from his first three marriages, added: "We're both looking forward to spending the second half of our lives together." The wedding will take place in late summer and the couple will spend their time between California, Montana, New York and the UK. Mr Murdoch was previously married to Australian flight attendant Patricia Booker, Scottish-born journalist Anna Mann, and Chinese-born entrepreneur Wendi Deng

And now it’s time for a joke.

A very old and very rich man marries a young starlet. At the wedding reception the man’s doctor takes him aside.

Doctor: Congratulations on your marriage. But I must tell you that I’m concerned about something. At your age, sex could be fatal.

Old man: If she dies, she dies.

I never saw a Purple Pill.

I never hope to see one;

But I can tell you, anyhow,

I'd rather see than be one.

At 92 does it really matter we should all be so lucky, if I make it that long I’ll be drooling on myself and having a nurse wipe my butt

Is it really about love or even about sex?

Maybe he divorces before the wife is entitled to get a bigger chunk of his fortune, and then he’s lonely.

Sort of like getting rid of your car when the warranty expires and buying a new model.

That was the Ronald Perelman/Ellen Barkin story. Now she’s alone with only a truckload of wine, a measly couple of millions, and a cellphone to comfort her.

If Mick doesn’t take Jerry Hall back, get ready for Jerry’s late night tweets.

Maybe he just likes writing out big checks to strange women.

Methinks her second half of life might be a lot longer than his....and with a whole lot of cash to throw around with someone younger than 92.

Two less lonely people in the world
And it’s gonna be fine
Out of all the people in the world
I just can’t believe you’re mine

In my life where everything was wrong
Something finally went right
Now there’s two less lonely people
In the world tonight
