Wednesday Weirdness-90 Year Old Mogul’s Girlfriend Adopts
Welcome to Wednesday Weirdness, a recurring theme where we post something truly weird and wacky in adoption or child welfare.
I’m sure she really loves me and isn’t trying to get into my will 
with this new baby!
“It’s Sumner love at the tender age of 90 for a media mogul.
Confidenti@l has exclusively learned that Sumner Redstone may soon be changing diapers.
Redstone’s girlfriend Sydney Holland, who turns 42 this month, confirmed to us Thursday, “I recently adopted a baby on my own, and I am very excited to experience both the joys and challenges of motherhood.”
Viacom spokesman Carl Folta also assures us that “Mr. Redstone doesn’t have any involvement with this child,” though a source close to the May-December pair, who were born nearly half a century apart, says the little girl is named Alexandra Red, which was shortened from Redstone.
“They cut the last name on purpose so the media doesn’t find out,” says a source close to the pair. “They are not telling anyone.”
Redstone, a hardballer known for trying to control his image, celebrated the big Nine-O on May 27 with a lavish L.A. bash where Tony Bennett performed for a crowd including Mark Wahlberg, Danny DeVito and Tom Cruise.
Just last week, Redstone and Holland were spotted grabbing lunch with Cruise and Redstone’s former flame Manuela Herzer, whom he used to date back when he was a fun-loving octogenarian.
Now a nonagenarian, he’s reportedly worth $4.7 billion, making him Forbes’ 91st richest person in the world.
Redstone and Holland have been dating for about three years. The media mogul has been married twice before, first to Phyllis Gloria for 50 years and then to Paula Fortunato for seven years.
The baby would make three for the entertainment industry tycoon, whose family claims majority shares in Viacom, MTV, CBS and Paramount Pictures.
Redstone has two children, a daughter Shari, 59, and son, Brent, 62, both of whom he reared with his first wife, Phyllis.
Before starting Rich Hippie Productions (a boutique TV and media company based in Beverly Hills) in 2011, Holland had worked in the L.A. fashion industry. But our source says despite being self-employed, she recently expressed concerns to pals that she might not make it into the Redstone will.
“Looks like this baby 
is her guarantee,” our insider suggests. But only if Redstone gets attached.”
