CORPORATE MERGER: Oracle CEO Larry Ellison announced this week that he has married his longtime girlfriend, novelist Melanie Craft.
This has got to come as news to the New York Post, which three years ago speculated that Craft was merely a figment of Ellison's imagination, and that he had made up the "fictional" fiance so that he could date other women without marrying them. That Post gossip even suggested that Craft's novel had been ghostwritten by the Oracle boss.
Assuming that Craft does in fact exist, the marriage is Ellison's fourth.
