Another divorce hits the waves. In this case, the divorce is Larry King’s. Yes, Larry King is getting a divorce again. Is it not his fifth, sixth or 14th divorce he has had in his lifetime? Well considering he is old enough to patent pollen, eight or so divorces seem fair. Larry King wanted to end his 13-year marriage to Shawn Southwick on grounds that are not open to the public. The announcement of the divorce happened after what people call a nuclear argument in their Beverly Hills home.
Okay, let’s be real; no one can call any argument a “nuclear argument” after the night fight with Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren. Now that fight was nuclear: there was Tiger alledgedly getting beat up with golf clubs, a car crashing into lawns and more Tiger getting beat up by his wife, alledgedly. The Larry King versus Shawn Southwick cannot even compare because all the action came from cars screeching away. Boring. The legendary radio talk show host did mention that his major concern is for the welfare of his children. King wants to have joint custody of the children but also request that Shawn would not have to pay finances to the children at all. What a great father Larry King has become, letting himself pay for Child support alone. Friends have said that Larry King “loves his children very much and will be an integral part of their lives”. It is unsure whether the children will choose which place to reside in but the couple does hope that the joint-custody will work out.
Speaking about Larry King’s children, their names are Cannon and Chance and they are both boys. Interesting. Were Larry and Shawn perhaps playing Monopoly when naming their children? The first child’s name comes from using the Canon piece while moving around the board, and the second child comes from landing on Chance repeatedly. I am glad the monopoly piece didn’t land on “Community Chest” because having a boy named that would be too embarrassing. But then again, Hollywood children have weird names.
Right now, Hollywood is wondering why this “golden couple” split. Lets be real, marriage lasting over 10 years in Hollywood is out of the norm. I am sorry Brangelina; your time is ticking away. Some people believe Larry King was cheating on Shawn with her sister, Shannon. There have been rumors of these sister-sister incidents starting about three years ago. Larry King would buy Shannon expensive gifts for her birthday and Christmas, which left Shawn questioning why. When confronted about Larry’s extramarital affairs, Larry gave Shawn the property rights to their Beverly Hills mansions and two houses in Utah because Larry felt guilty and wanted to “show her he was committed to the marriage.” Now all this past drama is reviving because of the “unexpected” trip to divorce lane. Shannon denies the affair and is becoming furious with her sister Shawn. Shannon told reporters that Shawn has left “threatening messages” and said “I’m tired for taking the rap for things. I did not have an affair with Larry. He has been like a father to me.”
Yes Shannon, we call that a sugar daddy. Shawn is convinced Larry is cheating on her with her sister, and her sister is convinced that she is really concerned for Shawn when she makes remarks like this: “I have a date tonight, and I’m not going to worry about it. I love my sister. What’s happening is not my fault.” Sure, Shannon, sure. What is more important: being there for your sister when her marriage crumbles or picking out a nice cocktail evening dress to go out with the girls?
