SHORTEST LIVED CELEBRITY MARRIAGES

1. Britney Spears and Jason Alexander (55 hours)

It was a mere 55 hours before Britney Spears called time on her marriage to childhood friend Jason Alexander, after they impulsively wed in Las Vegas back in 2004. 'We were just looking at each other and said, "Let's do something wild, crazy. Let's go get married, just for the hell of it,' Alexander told Access Hollywood about their nuptials.

2. Dennis Hopper and Michelle Phillips (nine days)

The actor married Mamas and Papas singer Michelle Phillips in 1970. But their marriage only lasted eight days. Apparently, Hopper woke up so stoned the morning after their wedding that he didn't recognise his new bride.

3. Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra (nine days)

The Baywatch star and eccentric basketball player wed in Las Vegas back in November 1998. Just nine days later, Rodman filed for divorce, claiming he was of 'unsound mind' when the couple tried the knot.

4. Ali Landry and Mario Lopez (14 days)

The Extra host dated the model and actress for six years before tying the knot in April 2004. The couple split two weeks later amidst rumours of Lopez's infidelity. Lopez recently told Howard Stern: 'That was a situation where I was not mature and man enough.'

5. Drew Barrymore and Jeremy Thomas (19 days)

Drew Barrymore was just 19-years-old when she tied the knot with bar owner Jeremy Thomas back in 1994 after dating for just six weeks. 'We're trying to figure out (living arrangements) now,' she told People after the nuptials. 'Usually people live together first and then get married. I guess we're doing it the old-fashioned way. Kind of.'

6. Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon (70 days)

The Baywatch star married film producer Salomon in October 2007, in the two and a half hour break between Anderson's magic show in Sin City before Anderson filed for divorce, citing 'irreconcilable differences.'

7. Nicholas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley (121 days)

Cage and Presley filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, less than four months after they wed in 2002 in Hawaii. 'I'm sad about this, but we shouldn't have been married in the first place. It was a big mistake," Presley said in a statement.'

8. Renée Zellweger and Kenny Chesney (121 days)

After a romantic beach side wedding at St. John in the Virgin Islands, the Oscar-winning actress and country singer filed for an annulment. Chesney has since opened up to Oprah Winfrey about the split saying: 'I panicked. She's a sweet soul, no doubt about it, but I just wasn't ready.'

Flor, I agree divorce is a painful process but for some celebrities...which is evident above. Divorce doesn't hurt them as neither they are dependent on their partners for love nor for money.Some celebrities become so high headed because of their status, they don't like to compromise on anything which a marriage may demand at times.

DIVORCE is always a painful process, either to both parties or one party! And the worst part is it also pains the children! And the effect is lasting!

Love swells and ebbs like a tide with time..and if the divorce doesn't hurt elsewhere, it becomes an eventuality..

Some say, familiarity breeds contempt.

what it has to do with idolizing them? it is their private lives, and I believe they can do with their lives whatever they want, as long as it doens't hurt anyone.. not everyone is able to live with the same partner as long as you did.. it is neither normal nor abnormal.. it is their own business, none of anyone else.. as Uk mentioned, in Islam there is so-called "temporary marriage", which allows two to get married for the limited period of time intentionally, knowing in advance that they will divorce in 55 hours or 9 days, or 121 days.. and again, it is their business...

Absolutely Un-islamic But it is true.

Infact this type of marriage is called "MATA"

this is performed where lots of MEN are dead only WOMAN are alive and they outnumber men but one night stand marriage is against the priniciples of Islam.
