here are a lists of some celebs who treated marriages as jokes...
1)nicolas cage after every 6 months dumps his wife and marries another girl and then dumps her and this continues forever
2)micheal jackson first wed elvis preslys daughter and divorced her within 2 yrs.the jackson married his nanny and then he had kids with her.later he divorced her too.the latest that have heard about jackson is that he is again aflling in love with one of his nannies...
3)britney spears married jason alexander for 2 days or 55hrs.talk about short marriages.from what i have head her marriage to kevin federlin is on the rocks
4)brad pitt left jennifer aniston for bisexual angelina jolie.
5)tom cruise split with nicole kidman after a strong 10yr marrige.now tom is with katies holmes,his marriage does not seem to be going as planned by tom..lol.even nicole kidman is having prolems with her new man(don't know his name)
6)nick lachey and jessica simpson split after few years of marriage
7)the latest rocking break up is of ryan phillepe and resse witherspoon fater a 7yr marriage
8)rachel hunter recently divorced rod stewart..after a 10yrs or so marriage
9)jim carrey divorced lauren hlly after a brief 6 month marriage...
so why do these hollywood marriages fail misreably... :'(

Probably because they're famous celebrities and thus very impulsive self-obsessed people who live massive highs and massive lows.
They're all the same - actors, rock stars, TV stars and the like - they all have that similar personality trait. All cut from the same cloth.
The only type of famous people who don't follow this pattern are sports stars - they tend to me more disciplined, focused, and driven to attaining goals and are thus more level-headed, hence their relationships last a lot longer. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule, especially when you live in the public eye but in general you tend to find that this is the case.

busy schedules, more opportunities to cheat etc etc
marriages everywhere are getting shorer and many are chosing to not even tie the knot cause its easier and more acceptable now

They say a man is only as loyal as his options.
To some extent, maybe it is true.
I'm sure there is only so long you could work as a cook at Hooters and put up with a wife who doesn't put out before you'd be caving.

Tom and Katie Holmes arnt married yet
Nicole Kidmans new husband (Keith Urban) is currently in rehab
Tehbiz is also a divorcee :D

Money = access to everything and anything, which = boredom with all of it in the end. The longer these people have fame and wealth the wierder they get.

Most are pre-arranged publicity crap... And who wouldn't leave Aniston for Jolie... Good Choice... The only thing that would be hard to deal with is her collection of African babies. I don't like the idea of fighting through a mini zulu nation to get to what is one of the finest babes on earth... Honey... Put down the tribe and come to bed now.... ::)

There aren't that many babies to adopt in North America. ::)

They don't last because they start in the sack and many of them have a broken moral compass.

Hollywood's golden couples
Ryan and Reese may have called it quits, but there are still a few celebrity pairings left to give us hope.
By Deborah Netburn, Times Staff Writer
November 2, 2006
The news that Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe have called it quits comes as a shock of sorts. It's not that we imagined their relationship was perfect, but it seemed possible they might stay together if for no other reason than sheer force of Witherspoon's iron will. It's not too hard to imagine her practicing that wide, dazzling smile while repeating, "We will be a happy family. We will be a happy family," 10 times before leaving the house...

Actors are too self-absorbed to be concerned enough for other people.

but they usually wed their fellow actors only..so i think so those other people that you have mentioned are the actors themselves..

The most creative people in the world are generally considered 'crazy' by regular standards. Cant expect crazy people to live happily ever after.
(tehbiz = creative ;) )

You guys have no idea about the kind of pressures that come with "celebrity marriages".
I'm really sorry to hear about "Reese & Ryan". I was hoping they would make it, ...but apparently not.
btw - BB, it's not about a broken moral compass. Why you insist on being so judgemental about people you do not know, who are experiencing and being subjected to things you do not know, will never experience, and do not understand, ...is beyond me.
From what I've discovered about you, and your mindset, ...you could never even last 2 yrs in a celebrity marriage, ...so stop passing judgement on them please.
If I seem a bit harsh, it's because I'm really upset about Reese & Ryan (and annoyed by your tendency to be judgemental of people you do not know). I suspected it wasn't going to last back in 2001, ...thought they'd split back in 2003, then thought for sure they were doomed in 2005, ...yet nothing happened. I finally began to think they managed to escape the curse... and now it appears they have not. :'(
ps - All things being equal, celebrity marraiges (minus the additional pressures) are no different from those of ordinary people. Everyday people get separated & divorced as well. The only difference is, most people are willing to suffer in silence, or lead separate lives rather than make it official and move on, because they can't afford to go it on their own. Men stick around in unhappy marriages and cheat on the side, cause they don't want to lose half the assets, and/ or have to pay child support. Or wives stick around in loveless marriages because after staying out of the work force for years to have children, their careers were stalled and they don't have the ability to get back into the workforce in a capacity that would prevent their lifestyles from plummeting.
Yes, celebrity marriages can be difficult to sustain, however, there are plenty of them that are doing very very well. How many of you who cast aspersions on the celebrities who have divorced are also divorced yourselves? ...and how many can say their relationships with their ex's are as cordial and as supportive as Bruce Willis' & Demi Moore's.

you really have no idea who I am do you?

One of the reasons i respect Bono so much is that he has been with his wife since before U2 were famous.

Sorry Bigger Business, when I said BB, I meant Beach Bum.
I gotta figure a way to differentiate between the two of you when I make abbreviations.
And no, ...I don't know who you are. Who are you? :)

I'm sorry, but do I know you? Have we met? Had even a single conversation? ::)
Just fyi, I've been married 17 years to the same woman. Tell me again how long you've been married?
Perhaps my comments hit close to home? Are you part of the immoral Hollywood culture? Have you had countless sexual encounters with people you hardly know? Have you married someone you had sex with before you knew anything about them? Those kind of practices permeate Hollywood. I call things as I see them. Stop trying to sugarcoat what goes on in L.A. It is by and large a moral abyss.

If I was part of the "immoral Hollywood culture" I wouldn't have made the choice to be located in Toronto.
Have you had countless sexual encounters with people you hardly know?
No. I'm not promiscuous.
Have you married someone you had sex with before you knew anything about them?
No, I have not.
Those kind of practices permeate Hollywood.
Are you saying those celebrity marriages referenced ended for all the above reasons? (notwithsatnding the Spears abheration)
I call things as I see them.
Then your perspective is skewed.
Stop trying to sugarcoat what goes on in L.A. It is by and large a moral abyss.
Who is trying to sugarcoat anything. I'm simply saying you are unaware of the additional burdens that accompany "celebrity marriages". Why don't you tell me all about Reese & Ryan's immorality? ::)
ps - As for the morality of the town (or rather lack thereof) ...we're talking mainly the players behind the scenes. Most celebrities, when it comes right down to it, ...and when and/or if you actually got to know a few, ...are very normal people. It is the perception, and the maintence of the perception that they lead abnormal existences that makes them such "celebrities".

I have no idea, nor do I care, why Reese Witherspoon is getting a divorce. Try reading the title of this topic. I made a comment about why I believe Hollywood marriages don't last long.
If you cannot see that a plethora of people in Hollywood have multiple sexual partners, jumping from mate to mate, then you are in denial. Charlie Sheen, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, etc., etc. These guys have a warped sense of morality IMO.

Two words: Big Egos!

Well if you have no idea, perhaps it might be a good idea not to offer an opinion as to why.[/quote]

And a plethora of people not in Hollywood, aren't behaving the same way?
Just as there are sluts in Hollywood, ...there are sluts in maintown, USA.
Just as there are virtuous moral upright people in maintown, USA, they exist in Hollywood as well.
You can't paint such broad strokes with your brush, and not expect such a ludicrous premise to go unchallenged.

Brad Pitt is actually a very moral upright guy from middle America. Very average, very normal, hardly eccentric.
As for a "sense of morality", I'd take a guy who likes to visit hookers dressed up as cheerleaders, and not afraid to stand up for himself and his beliefs, and fearlessly speak the truth, over some anally retentive homophobe who would gladly evict a widow with small kids out in the cold, ...anyday of the week. I wouldn't marry him, ...but I'd probably prefer him as a friend.
As for Tom Cruise, ...what can I say, ...before Hollywood beckoned, ...he was on his way to the priesthood.
I also think the two of you have ALOT in common. :P

you got that right. So many greats were mocked by their peers. History won't remember their average, small minded peers, tho.

I offered an opinion about why I think Hollywood marriages don't last long, not about Reese Witherspoon. But I think I said that already.
Yes I will use the broad brush with Hollywood. The shoe fits. We have different opinions. You look at Hollywood and see normalcy. I look at Hollywood and see a morass (no pun intended).
Brad Pitt dumped his beautiful wife and shacked up with a "bisexual" weirdo. There is nothing moral and upright about that.
I have nothing in common with Tom Cruise. He's better looking than me, but I'm much bigger than he is. :) Plus my wife is much prettier than his girlfriend.

Why wouldn't you marry him Jag?

Most of the get-togethers and marriages in Hollywood are instigated because the couple worked together on something. Either in a movie or TV show. When you are togther with someone like that for a month or months something is bound to happen. Most of of the time it is just an infactuation that leads to more. I worked on a few shows where I started to like a few people. On Dangerous Curves I ended up seeing one of the bikini models for about a year or more. It was later on I found out she was married. I also ended up with a make-up girl from a show I worked on. I even went out with a casting directors secretary before. It just seems like you meet someone in the same industry and have the same interests and you hit it off. But it reality it is only a temporary thing. Till the next movie

Eddie Murphy is divorced too, if anything they only hook up for publicity.then when the public is bored of them they call it quits...
