Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi is in making headlines today after his wife of 19 years announced she's filing for divorce.

Veronica Lario says she wants to end her marriage with the 72-year-old billionaire media mogul because he won't stop flirting with younger women.

She became particularly incensed after Berlusconi attended the 18th birthday party last week of Noemi Letizia, daughter of one of his business partners.

Berlusconi didn't attend the 18th birthday celebrations of his own children, Lario says.

Corriere is quoting Berlusconi as saying "I don't believe so. I don't know if I want to this time," when asked whether he has any interest in saving his marriage.
