Rupert Murdoch Dances With Robot

Finding new companions after a breakup

Rupert Murdoch has found someone new to spend his days with: Cleatus, Fox Sports' robot ambassador.

Preparing for the launch of Fox's new ESPN rival, Fox Sports 1, the media mogul stopped by the channel's New York office. Cleatus was there, and the two apparently hit it off, according to the "Murdoch Here" Tumblr.

In a series of photos that can't be unseen, Murdoch and Cleatus posed next to network logos, appeared to do some kind of choreographed dance move and did the "Heisman" pose — though neither really pulled it off.

Fox Sports 1 launches on Saturday. Murdoch, 82, filed for divorce from his third wife, Wendi Deng, in June.
