Bill Gates

TURNS OUT BILL GATES WAS A PLAYBOY NERD

Until Jennifer Lopez spent the weekend with Ben Affleck, Bill Gates divorcing his wife Melinda was the most startling “couples” story. Rumors of infidelity surfaced and we were surprised to learn that Bill Gates did a lot of carousing in his youth. Biographies written about Gates revealed that he was not just a computer nerd – he was also a playboy bachelor. Bill liked to have nude swimming parties in the indoor pool he had in his home. To liven things up, Bill would also hire strippers from Seattle to join his friends in the pool. Gates’ early womanizing also put a strain on his budding relationship with his wife-to-be Melinda. When he was out of town he was known to hit on female journalists who covered Microsoft for the industry. Bill and Melinda actually broke up for a year early in their relationship when he avoided making a commitment. After 7 years of dating, they finally wed in 1994. Now their kids are grown up, and Bill and Melinda seem happy to be going their separate ways.

Kim Kardashian’s media-shy boyfriend Kris Humphries,26, used to run from the paparazzi (it took a long time to get a photo of the couple together) but now he’s hired his own publicist! We’re guessing Kris Jenner has schooled him in the art of cashing in. NBA star Kris has had the best year of his career and strangely, some credit this to his association with Kim “Midas” Kardashian. Kris’s new publicist is touting him as more than a great basketball player – he’s an “entrepreneur” and a “philanthropist.” Our esteemed colleague CJ at the Star Tribune in Minneapolis where Kris hails from, could barely contain her laughter – she pointed out that Kris is taking himself FAR too seriously if he considers himself in the league of philanthropists Bill Gates or Richard Branson.
