None of the celebrity marriages/break-ups surprise me. I don't understand what all the fuss over Britney 2-day marriage. 2 days, 4 months doesn't matter they both were foolish . Let's see if Renee gets some heat las Britney did.
Renee Zellweger & Kenny Chesney call it quits!

Celebrities...gotta love 'em!!!! I bet Jack White's new wife is nervous.
The best description I ever heard of annullment vs. divorce was that annullments are for things that weren't there at the beginning of the marriage, divorce is for things that weren't there at the end of the marriage.

An attorney on the radio today was talking about annullment vs. divorce. An annullment means you don't have to disclose any property or monies to the other person to keep expenses down and just go on about your business after you split up. Divorce means you have to disclose all monies and property and it makes it much more expensive. That is the reason she/they chose annullment. They can just leave the marriage with what they had when they both went into it. It just seems a real shame. Probably had way to much to drink and thought "let's get married" on a whim. Too bad the next day you say "Oops". Also, you never really saw them together. She was never at any awards or country shows and everytime we saw her she was with her actor friends in some other country. Oh well, to each their own. I hope Kenny is doing alright and he can call me anytime he needs a shoulder to cry on. Oh, and he is NOT gay. Where did anyone ever read that? Please.

I was reading about annullment this morning and it said that you have to prove that on the day you took your wedding vows that one or the other partner knew they weren't going to be faithful OR knew that they weren't going to want to have children.
Now how are you suppose to prove that unless someone admits to that???

An explanation of "fraud", from eonline.com:
-------
When Renée Zellweger called Kenny Chesney a "fraud," she meant it only in the best way.
The Oscar-winning actress attempted to clarify Friday why her four-month marriage to the country singer all but ended this week when she filed for an annulment, citing "fraud."
In a statement, the Cold Mountain star called the term "simply legal language and not a reflection of Kenny's character."
"Oh, I beg to differ," Glen L. Rabenn, a family law attorney based in Seal Beach, California, said with a laugh when read Zellweger's words. "What is it then? She's saying the guy is a fraud. Doesn't that go to character?"
Attorney John Mayoue, an Atlanta litigator who has represented the likes of Jane Fonda, called the "fraud" declaration "very unusual for a high-profile case."
"Most celebrities who have a public name to protect would not make this kind of public allegation," said Mayoue. "When famous people call us, we try to find a way under the radar, so to speak."
In California, where Zellweger filed, annulments are rare, seemingly by design, among the famous and non-famous. The state that invented the no-fault divorce is a stickler on annulments. "You've got to prove your grounds," Rabenn said. "You've got to go to court."
In Nevada, where Britney Spears ended her 55-hour union to childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander in 2004, a bride can annul her marriage simply by declaring, as the pop star did, that she "lacked understanding of her actions." But in California, the annulment seeker must declare one of the following: That he or she was under age; that one of the parties was already married; that someone was of "unsound mind"; that the marriage was entered into by "force"; that one of the parties suffered "physical incapacity"; or, that "fraud" had been perpetuated.
"Fraud is a very high standard," Mayoue said. "For a court to accept this for fraud, it's going to have to be a very egregious situation."
Under California law, a fraudulent marriage means, in part, "the consent of either party was obtained by fraud."
To Rabenn, the big question in the Zellweger filing is "Why?", as in: "Why did someone bother raising the fraud allegation?"
Zellweger, 36, and Chesney, 37, wed May 9 in the Virgin Islands. While their courtship proceeded at light speed, they'd met just five months prior, the ceremony was not exactly impromptu. Family and friends were present; an official wedding photo released.
Whispers of their demise were heard as early as the summer. The bad buzz got louder last week when Zellweger walked the red carpet at the London premiere of Cinderella Man without Chesney, who'd finally wrapped the tour that had kept him on the road for much of their marriage.
"I would personally be very grateful for your support in refraining from drawing derogatory, hurtful, sensationalized or untrue conclusions," Zellweger said Friday. "We hope to experience this transition as privately as possible."
Rabenn said he would expect the couple to have the matter handled privately, by a private judge, no less. "It's very likely you will never know about this," he said.
