  • "Mrs. Wynn will continue her role as director of Wynn Resorts, Ltd. and will work together with Mr. Wynn for the best interest of the company and its staff.

    "Mrs. Wynn will maintain an office on premises and will continue to focus on community outreach and charitable contributions on behalf of Wynn Resorts."

    Divorce papers were filed March 5 and sealed the same day, keeping secret such details as who filed.

    There has been speculation that the divorce settlement could eclipse the $1.7 billion worth of assets media mogul Rupert Murdoch agreed to give wife Anna in their 1999 divorce. That deal included her receiving a reported $110 million in cash.

    The Wynns split after the hotel developer's romance with a British divorcee, Andrea Hissom, went public this year. They met in 2008 on the Riviera, where he has a luxury yacht.

    Steve Wynn, who turns 68 Jan. 27, and Hissom were seen Monday at the "Regis & Kelly Live" taping at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas.

    There have been reports that Steve and Elaine Wynn each own more than 24 million shares in Wynn Resorts. Wynn Resort stocks have been hovering between $60 and $70 a share.

At least one young Elvis actor has been dropped from the cast, I'm told.

    A jaw-dropping celebrity scandal is on the brink of going public and it has ties to a local nightclub and New York City hot spot, the Griffin, now co-owned by former Pure Management Group managing partner Steve Davidivici.
