BLINDSIDED JERRY HAULED TO THE TRASH!
FOX News mogul, 91, is done with marriage
ROCKER Mick Jagger’s baby mom Jerry Hall says she’s “devastated” after current hubby and moneybags media mogul Rupert Murdoch ended their six-year marriage via a coldhearted email.
“I still love him,” the 66-year-old former Texas model sobbed to pals after filing for divorce in L.A. on June 30. But Murdoch instigated the split, spies tattle.
Notes a source: “Jerry is truly devastated and insists it was all a bolt from the blue. One day they were making plans to be together for the summer in London, then there was this message instructing her to only contact him via lawyers.”
Sources believe the 91-yearold tycoon, whose $17 billion News Corp empire includes the New York Post and FOX News, was “soured” on the
marriage by his six children, who believe Jerry is a gold digger.
Hall, who has four grown kids with Rolling Stone Jagger, has a prenup. But Murdoch also showered her with wealth including a $13 million English manor and a $275 million, 340,000-acre Montana ranch.
His $1.8 billion divorce from second wife Anna in 1999 is the second-largest in history.
But a source says: “She has been hurt by suggestions she was only in it for the money, or that Rupert didn’t like her smoking or drinking … she thinks that his children have been briefing against her. She was in love with him.”
UNDER pressure by fans and sinking ratings, The View’s embattled queen bee Whoopi Goldberg is ready to walk — but only if she’s paid the mega-millions she’s owed, say sources.
The bigmouth, 66-year-old co-host is determined to collect on the four-year deal she inked in September 2021 — worth an estimated $8 million a year — whether she’s sitting in the hot seat or not, say sources.
“Even with her giant-size ego, she can’t hold off her enemies forever,” tattles an insider. “She wants a hefty payoff to leave or else she’ll stay and make everyone miserable.”
Incredibly, the word behind the scenes is her “bosses are actually considering it,” the insider continues. “Whoopi has three years left on her contract, but after her embarrassing blunders the feeling is it might be prudent to replace her.”
As GLOBE previously reported, Whoopi’s committed a series of on-air gaffes recently.
She misread the teleprompter while introducing actress Kristen Bell, referring to her as, “Half of a beloved celeb cup … Couple! Sorry.”
Whoopi also mispronounced France’s world-famous museum the Louvre when fans thought she said, “LOO-va.”
While taping the show live in The Bahamas, she screwed up Las Culturistas, the podcast of guests Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers. And when guest host Ana Navarro gently corrected her, Whoopi snipped back: “Well, I was hoping you would say it. Gracias.”
Add these to her shocking comment that the Holocaust was not about race, which resulted in a two-week suspension in February.
“Whoopi’s attitude is they can put her out to pasture, but they’re going to have to cough up some serious cash,” adds the insider.
“She’s laying down the law — treat her fair and she’ll leave quietly. If not, they’ll have a mad hornet in their hands!”
