Jerry Hall will never be anyone’s Beast of Burden. The mother of four of Mick Jagger’s children has asked a Los Angeles court to dismiss the divorce petition she filed five weeks ago against aged right wing publisher Rupert Murdoch.

Hall has evidently reached a settlement out of court with Murdoch. If he hadn’t caved to her demands, Murdoch’s finances would have been splashed all over the place in open court.

There would have been a lot of press attention except in publications he owns, like the New York Post. They have yet to report that Hall and Murdoch even separated.

It does seem like Murdoch’s adult children pushed ol dad to dump Hall before they would have to deal with her in his estate. They were married six years. Now Hall presumably will be set for life without having to ask Mick Jagger for help. So it all worked out. Murdoch has so much money he won’t miss a few mil, not to mention a house or two.

Murdoch has been married a few times. He’s 91, so he could fit in a few more tries, at least one. His kids may miss Jerry since she was at least taking care of him, something none of them want to do.

EXCLUSIVE I told you about the weird coincidence of Anne Heche and the actress who succeeded her on the soap, “Another World.” Jensen Buchanan went to jail for nearly killing a man while driving drunk. It’s a miserable, sad story.

Now it turns out that Heche, who is in a coma and fighting for her life after her terrible car accident, was taken to the very special Grossman Burn Unit in suburban Los Angeles. Heche has never had a history of doing anything harmful to anyone, this was an accident, she deserves everyone’s prayers and sympathy. She never intended for this to happen.

Maybe the same can be said for Roberta Grossman. She’s the wife of Dr. Peter Grossman, who inherited the famous Burn Unit from his father. Two years ago, Roberta Grossman sped through Triunfo Canyon Road in Hidden Hills, Los Angeles and struck 11-year-old Mark Iskander and his 8-year-old brother, Jacob, as they were crossing the street with their parents in a marked crosswalk.

The two little boys died. According to reports, Grossman allegedly continued driving after striking the boys, eventually stopping about a quarter-mile away from the scene when her car engine stopped running.

Grossman was ordered this past June to stand trial for two felony counts each of murder and vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, along with one felony count of hit-and-run driving resulting in death.. She could face a maximum of 34 years to life in prison if convicted as charged, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

Neither Heche nor Grossman set out to cause the destruction that occurred with their accidents. But Grossman’s situation is a tragic coincidence, especially for the wife of a man who’s trying to save lives every day.
