When your marriage hits splitsville, it’s perfectly understandable to need a friendly shoulder to cry on.
For Michael Douglas, who recently announced his split with actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, that shoulder belongs to 83-year-old billionaire George Soros.
Douglas and Zeta-Jones, together since 1999, announced in August that they were — to quote “Friends” — “on a break.” Since then, no papers have been filed and Jones is reportedly still sporting her wedding ring.
In any case, you gotta love a bromance. But according to the Huffington Post, Soros is getting married soon, so Douglas may have to find a new partner-in-crime to get him through his post-breakup ice cream binge.
"Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief"
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
