(User Submitted) – When you marry the founder of a company that made its money off drunk women, did you really think it was going to end happily? CBS reporter Christina McLarty apparently did, but she hasn't been living at husband Joe Francis' Bel Air home for close to a month. A source tells Radar they're considering divorce after less than 2 months of marriage. Francis was reportedly talking openly about their split at the Kardashian family Christmas party.

"I'm not sure if she is still driving the S500 Mercedes he let her use or if she still has her $500K engagement ring, but she definitely moved out of his Bel Air home," says the insider. The two had dated four years before the marriage. Click here for more.
