I'm a little surprised by this, but not as much as Mike Myers' and his wife announcing they are splitting.
They seemed like a pretty solid couple.

I've been waiting for this one since she forgot to thank him at the Academy awards.

very sad

I always liked them. They seemed so down to earth and normal - sad

That's Hollywood! I'm never surprised when a celebrity couple divorce. It seems that it happens on a daily basis anymore.

That is really sad. I was rooting for them!

I also didn't know that Mike Meyers and wife were splitting.

What a shame for both couples.

Another couple I was surpised to hear break up was Eddie Murphy and his wife Nicole. They seemed like a happy couple and seemd to have a nice family. I don't know if he left his wife for Mariah Carey but he is seeing her now.

Gosh, it seems like no one is staying together these days!!

I just read that Tori Spelling is engaged again after only being married to her first husband for about a year. The new guy was married for 12 years and has two kids age 7 and 5 months. Gee, I wonder how long this new relationship will last?

 

[In a hurry]

I have liked Chad Lowe for years. What a shame.

Who cares about Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe? Aren't there more important things to be talking about?

Just had to get that in before someone else does!

It seems like very few hollywood couples can make their marriages work these days. I wonder why that is. Are there special circumstances and pressures people face in Hollywood that the majority of us don't? Are celebrities such "shallow" people that they can't commit to a marriage for the long haul? Or is the Hollywood divorce rate the same as the general population, except that it is splashed on the front pages of the gossip rags?
