Oh really? Tony Blair insists he didn’t have an affair with Wendi Deng.
Oh really? Rupert Murdoch is divorcing Wendi Deng.
Kids want to figure out why Rupert Murdoch is really divorcing wife Wendi Deng? Don’t bother reading the tabloids, just do what the tabloids do in the first place. Yep, that’s right, let’s all head over to twitter together and get the real gritty why one douchebag has chosen to call it quits with another douchebag (sorry Wendi but you have left a solid blood trail…)
Topping the heap comes ‘Undisclosed reasons for Murdoch divorcing Deng are jaw-dropping,‘ courtesy of BBC financial correspondent Robert Peston where the journalist retweeted a post courtesy of the guardian’s Michael Wolff who happens to be Rupert Murdoch’s biographer.
Wolff goes on to tell about his years of knowing Murdoch and how he sensed that marrying Deng had been a mistake from the start. From opposite spectrums of the personality board (he cold, impersonal, conservative, while she outgoing, mercurial and a social butterfly and of course liberal but like Murdoch ever ambitious) and that what may have killed the relationship was the fact that Murdoch’s children never forgave their father for marrying the woman who in their eyes was not good enough to replace their mother. So let’s chalk that up to family squabbling and doling up the family fortune.

A theory often repeated on twitter:
And then there were these personal favorites I came across too:
