(Newser) – Sorry, ladies. Should you have been in the market for a pudgy world leader with a love of Jean-Claude Van Damme movies and Michael Jordan, you are officially out of luck. According to Voice of America correspondent Steve Herman, North Korean state TV reports that Kim Jong Un has married, naming his wife as Ri Sol Ju. While that's not the name of the pop star Kim was linked to earlier this month, Herman dug up a video that apparently shows that Kim ended up with a singer all the same.

Symbolic marriage ?  Probably will still lay the short, fat one to the other singer.
