Larry King and Shawn Southwick at a St. Jude's fundraiser in Washington, DC (3/6)

Hey, here's an idea Larry: DON'T GET MARRIED AGAIN YOU IDIOT. Both Larry and his wife Shawn Southwick filed for divorce yesterday, citing "irreconcilable differences" -- in Larry's case, because there was no box to check that said "Bitch fucked the little league coach." And in Shawn's case, because there was no box to check that read "Asshole fucked my sister." From AP:

Larry King filed for divorce on Wednesday shortly before his seventh wife also sought to end the couple's nearly 13-year-old marriage (ed. note: he divorced his 3rd wife Alene Akins twice). The 76-year-old host of CNN's "Larry King Live" filed hours before Shawn King filed her own petition. Both cited "irreconcilable differences."

The couple were married in a hospital room in 1997 three days before Larry King underwent surgery to clear a clogged blood vessel. They have two sons, ages 11 and 9. The petitions differ in that Larry King is seeking joint custody, while his 50-year-old wife wants physical custody.

Larry King is also asking a judge not to award his wife any spousal support and to invalidate an agreement in which he transferred property to her, court records show. Shawn King's petition seeks spousal support from her husband, along with ownership of the couple's home in Beverly Hills, Calif., and two properties in Utah.

I can't help but think this is a mistake by Shawn. I mean, Larry's got it all: looks, personality, . . . great stories about what life was like before the invention of the horseless carriage.
