Last month, we learned that Rupert Murdoch, 84, has started dating Jerry Hall, 59. While there is a 25-year age difference and that ordinarily would make me roll my eyes, I kind of enjoy the idea of Rupert and Jerry, or “Jupert” as the British tabloids are calling them now. Jupert have already been out and about before now, but on Friday, they were photographed out on a date night in London. Ah, crusty love. Ever since Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp split, I’ve been waiting for a new Crusty Love situation to happen, and it has. Jupert may even be the best Crusty Love situation of all time.
There’s so much to love in these photos, isn’t there? I love that she’s wearing sparkly flats on her Friday date-night. I love the fact that she’s is trying to dress the part of a woman dating Rupert Murdoch – she looks like she’s wearing an ensemble from The Republican First Ladies’ Collection. Considering Rupert’s last wife was trying to be a fashion plate, he probably appreciates the fact that Jerry isn’t trying to wear the latest designers and the most eye-catching styles. I also love the fact that in some of these photos, it looks like Rupert is already mad at her and he’s bitching her out in front of the cameras. Crusty Love means never needing to play to the cameras!
What else is there to say? I hope they last forever. I hope he marries her. I hope – and this is a very sincere hope – that Jerry is getting some jewelry out of this. Cranky octogenarian media titans may come and go, but marquis-cut canary diamonds are forever.

I lack the enzyme that let’s me digest the words “crusty love” first thing on a Monday morning.
Yeah, I won’t even tell you the images that sprang to mind while taking my first sip of coffee. I surprised myself. Not in a good way.
I can not imagine him on top.
Dying!! I love you
Big pharma is working on producing a synthetic enzyme that you can take with your caffeinated morning beverage of choice.
LOL!
Honestly Kaiser, your purple prose is priceless. Indeed, canary diamonds are forever. However, I don’t envy her the way she may have to earn them. Shudder!
If Rupert Murdoch looked like John Forsythe and was just as charming I could understand. But Rupert just looks crusty and grouchy
Remember that episode of Sex and the City where Samantha’s dating the much-older guy, but she can’t “go all the way” with him because his butt is all wrinkly? That’s what this reminds me of. *shudder*
At 84 years of age, is he even still capable of, uh, performing? Never mind, I don’t want to think too critically about that.
And I wish Jerry would drop the damn Proper English Lady act already. Does she still speak with that horrible affected accent? Does she think if she keeps it up long enough, eventually everyone will forget she’s from Texas?
Unfortunately Viagra means everyone is capable of “performing” up until they die of their heart attack induced by the sudden diversion of blood flow away from the heart and brain and into the junk instead, to put it scientifically. There is a reason for age-related ED. Sigh, the things you have to witness and therefore know too much about working for the medical industry. If I have to hear one more old man announce he’s here to have his free Viagra voucher filled out today I’m going home early.
This is the exact same thing that came to my mind, the wrinkly butt man! I’m sorry but I hope for her sake he’s impotent D:
I imagine his billions are better than Pepto Bismol in soothing the queasiness any woman would feel in his presence.
Nope. My stomach is still rocking n rolling. I couldn’t do it. Not even to pay off my student loans.
“Nope. My stomach is still rocking n rolling. I couldn’t do it. Not even to pay off my student loans.” LOL. I was speaking of a certain type of woman, namely the ones who would get together with him, with Trump, with any disgusting man. There’s a common denominator-money. I don’t think anyone posting here would want to get within five miles of him.
Yeah, I could never go near that despicable, conservative old f***.
Jerry, WHY?????
Yes, “why?” is what I thought, too. Why doesn’t she seem to be able to get that rictus-like smile off her face? Plus, yuck. He’s pretty much yuck on his inside and out.
Well, we know for sure it’s not about his money.
Said no one ever.
I don’t think so either. Or the fact that if they get married, he might not live much longer because of his age.
No. No, no, no, NO, NO!
Nothing against crusty love but, y’know. This is RUPERT MURDOCH. Even I can’t summon up a humour gene to deal with this. They should be called Pukepert.
Hahaha
Ewwpert!
Poopert!
ok very immature of me I know, but I still love it 😛
Hahah!
To me they’ll be Jeperty.
Whatever works, but she is dressing and styling from the era of her glory days and no amount of money would get that guy in my bed. I’m not very nice to say that, but I felt like it needed to be said.
Amen
+1000.
Repulsive. Awful old man. She’s a courtesan. I hope appearing on his arm and accepting baubles is all she does.
She’s probably just with him for the hot AF sex.
Catwoman. Stop. Just please stop. I can’t take it.
Hahahaha
Perhaps she can convince him not to destroy national geographic. What a vile man
OH Gawd, how did I miss the news about that!?! I feel sick. Countdown until the magazine stops printing articles about global warming and instead has articles showing how oil drilling is ever so helpful to the African people and their environment.
They have already fired most of their fact checkers … it makes me sick to my stomach 🙁
I missed that too. How the hell did he get his hands on NG? Does his money get everything? Is NO never an option? I really don’t give a rat’s a$$ who he’s banging, but this hurts!
Some interesting articles on the acquisition:

Right? Completely vile individual. She can have him.
I don’t know how long it will stay separate, but Murdoch bought the media rights (the magazine and the channel), but not the actual National Geographic Society. Fox and NatGeo have been partners for almost 20 years (they already ran the cable channel). Nat Geo Society says it will use the profit from selling their media arm to reinvest in research.
For a model she photographs so bad
hope – that Jerry is getting some jewelry out of this.
yes, because at 60, after an adult life earning big bucks as a model, spending time in money sphere, her drawers are probably empty and she’s never owned a gem. Poor thing.
Hmmm…Is that piece of advice inspired by Amber Rose?
Isn’t this the supermodel retirement plan? Hook up with gazillionaire?
This *is* the supermodel retirement plan.
See all the other supermodels that are retired with their Crusty (age not an issue) ATMs.
He is such a vile individual. I never thought Jerry was all that attractive in her glory days- striking yes, and a great print model, but no beauty. And funny how that length hair looks good on Christie Brinkley, but she could benefit from a good hair cut. At the least, hope she is getting major gems out of this.
This.
Random, thy name is Jupert.
How sad? So this is what attractive women in their late 50s (she’s 59) have to look forward to? She’s dated several men since she and Mick broke up,. The Australian millionaire she dated was age appropriate and dated for several years.
The last one was younger than her by about eight years or so, 50, and a scientist. Her coupling with Rupert Murdoch just depresses me, to see her that desperate.
Jerry with the scientist, Armand Leroi.

Aging supermodels and pop stars are now targeting billionaires now it seems. Linda Evangelista, Elle McPherson, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Salma Hayek – the list goes on.
Good for them if that makes them happy. For aspiring starlets, here is your shopping list: http://www.forbes.com/billionaires/list/
Viagra really is a game changer.
Not all the Viagra in the world would tempt me. He’s an evil, horrible human being and I think Jerry must have taken complete leave of her senses – either that or the smell of lots of money is an aphrodisiac to her.
He’s just…gross. I guess Jerry’s done with “in love” and going for the real big bucks now. (She’s overshot the mark if that’s the case. Surely there’s a happy medium?)
But since he is a Millionaire we finna celebrate this, this is super not like Amber, right? right? *sips tea with Kermit*
Whoosh! Right over their heads.
Huh? Kinda gibberishy.
I’ll break it down for you: If Amber Rose bagged Rupert, would we be celebrating marquis diamonds?
Would never happen. Amber has way too much self respect to ever take up with a fossil of this caliber.
Not to mention creepy sneaky lying racist nasty ass cretin. This literally is the man who inspires every single one of my “do you eat babies for breakfast?” posts on CB.
I bet he makes her feel young again. That and $$$$$£££££.
You know the saying; Better an old man’s darling than a young man’s slave.
lol!
Dear Celebitchy Posters, I’ve shown up here just a few times to comment on how Madonna has morphed into Faye Dunaway. But I read here all the time and am always impressed by the humor and wit that is displayed by many of you.
My husband just had back surgery so I’m going to be his nursemaid and off work for a good long while. Waking up here on the west coast to this crusty love story just made me laugh. I know you’ll lift my spirits when I need it.
But please Jerry, not Rupert Murdoch. Just no. Don’t go over to the dark side.
Thanks all.
Good luck with the nursemaiding voyeur, and hope your hubs heals quickly! Let’s hope there are more crusty love moments to keep the CB rivers of sarcasm flowing 🙂
Thanks jaded!
this story makes me so grateful my husband isn’t an Orc like Rupert. Hope your husband heals well and quickly.
She might as well just get “Gold Digger” tattooed on her forehead
She looks so much like my crazy mother in law. Actually my MIL was prettier in her day but the resemblance is uncanny.
And she looks so proud and enjoying the lime light. Where is her pride? Gross!!!
Hmmm, guess Mick really is THAT cheap and she has not much to show $$$ wise from their years together. With her dating Murdoch it’s obvious that she listened to Sympathy for the Devil one a few times too many…*shudders*
I am fond of Jerry Hall and wish her well. I have no respect for Rupert due to his character. Age diff aside, he is evil and powermad. He acquires good things and ruins them. But who Jerry dates is up to her not me, so, I sigh. Don’t know how this will end up, but I think that the premise of her getting jewelry is tacky and disrespectful of women. So is calling it “crusty love”. Ageism is very uncool. People of a certain age are allowed to date and have romance and not be harshly judged on the basis of age. Even if those people includes icky Rupert Murdoch.
Yeah, I can imagine the way the candlelight diffuses all of his liver spots and the sparkly bauble he has to give her every time he wants a little loving, ah true love.
Rupert is an evil old c*nt. He uses his media empire to fan the flames of Islamophobia, to demonise job seekers and is a climate change denier. Freaking evil.
Ms Hall has signed a Faustian contract fraternizing with the likes of him.
Another fan of Jerry here. She paid her dues, putting up with Mick all those years, having his kids, being great to his older kids (she included them in everything) while turning cheek to his wanderings only to be humiliated by his illegitimate child and his public denial that their marriage was ever legit. Bastard x10.
Hope she’s getting lots of everything. And rather than jewels, I hope Murdoch puts some dosh towards buying out Mick’s half of her Richmond home, where she’s lived for years and he has steadfastly refused to give to her entirely. She loves that house and is supposed to have to purchase the other half when her youngest turns 18 or move out and sell.
I wouldn’t care if he gives her The Hope diamond, this is Amber Rose on steroids. This is a vile human being. Jerry you are better than this!
Please somebody bleach my eyeballs. FTLOG!
Crusty love just invoked all these bad images in my head. I need a drink and a lie down.
