Everyone is still talking about that jaw-dropping moment when Rupert Murdoch's wife leapt to her husband's defense.

Robin Roberts said on Good Morning America, "A lot of husbands are asking their wives, 'Would you do this for me?' "
Wendi is Rupert Murdoch's third wife. He's 80 and she's 42. She graduated from Yale with an MBA and they live in Manhattan. They have two little girls.
Wendi is 6 feet tall, but in stilettos like the ones she was wearing at the hearings yesterday, she's a towering 6 feet 4 inches tall.

Within seconds of Wendi leaping to her husband's defense, the stock price in Murdoch's media company Newscorp shot up 18 cents a share, adding a staggering $330 million in shareholder value.
The late night comedians are having a field day with the story. David Letterman even made it the subject of his Top Ten List.
