  Moonves: "I Want To Get On With My Life" - December 1, 2004
DECEMBER 1--CBS boss Leslie Moonves is so anxious to return to the single life that he has asked a California judge to immediately grant him a divorce--despite the fact that he has yet to work out alimony, child support, and property division arrangements with his estranged wife.

In June, Moonves was named co-president of Viacom, where he oversees the entertainment giant's television, radio, and outdoor advertising operations.
