What on earth is going on with these 'slebs'? Katie and Peter heading straight to the divorce court before even cashing in on a few reconciliation magazine deals. Dane Bowers getting back in there while Pete's side of the bed is still warm. Ange and Brad reportedly at each others throats due to him being found 'comforting' the nanny and watching a dvd instead of minding the children (what husband hasn't done that?), Charlotte Church and Gav in Hello denying all rumours of a marriage rift (bet you a quid it'll be over within a year), Madonna flaunting her new Jesus around as if, 'Guy Who'?
I mean, if Katie and Peter are splitting up, what chance have the rest of us got? Eh?
What is weird is the general hunger for it, the fact that Katie and Peter have been in the papers DAILY since announcing the split - look there's Peter feeding ducks, oooh, there he is again outside a large house. We seem to need every detail, perhaps because they have married in front of us all, lived in front of us all (have you been watching Stateside? How moody is Katie??), now it's almost like we need to see the meltdown too.
Same with Brad and Ange, they got together on film (Mr & Mrs Smith), we felt Jen's pain when she was dumped, they shared photos of Ange breastfeeding, and now we feel we have a right to know the TRUTH. Are they just pretending? Brad, are you a compulsive shagger? Ange, are you completely and utterly barmy?
What is most sad in all of these cases are that there are children involved. And quite a lot of them in Brad and Angelina's case.
No doubt, in ten years we'll be reading their blogs/biogs/OK magazine deals about what it was like growing up the son of Katie Price/ daughter of Brad and Ange/ Adopted son of Madonna.
Divorce is never nice.
No matter if you are Joe Public or Peter Andre.
So, good luck to 'em.
May they all find a bit of peace and happiness...

It breaks my heart when I see these stories because there are children involved.
It seems it's all to easy to just throw in the towel and quit the marriage these days. Why does nobody fight to save it?
I can't think of anything worse than being a celeb and playing out your marriage infront of the cameras. Of course there are some who positively court the publicity and invite the press into their lounge . . .
I agree with Tara and they just give up to easily. Or maybe its get involved to easily? After all when being together can boast your career then it works for everyone .
Then again we don't really know what goes on behind closed doors
You are so topical lady! Just got Grazia delivered this morning and who is now on the cover suspected of splitting up? Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise or Tomkat as the press of lovingly named them! Mind you...I think his scientology thing is one sarnie short of a picnic... just my personal opinion! xx
Tara - Hello there. I still loiter around at your place. Your company looks brilliant. TopCat, so good luck with that! Yes. Agreed. Marriage has it's ups and downs but is so very rewarding if you are prepared to put the hard work in. Seems like money can't buy happiness.
Laura - I agree - get involved easier, get together, get married and have lots of babies in a short space of time. Hard work for anyone. No, we don't know what goes on behind closed doors, how much is real, how much is done for publicity...
That Girl - I think I pinched this post from a conversation we were having over at yours...
Hello Hello! Welcome back Confused, or should I call you Susan? I have this theory that you are in fact Susan Boyle and here's why:
You disappear for a looong time, probably to work on your vocal cords,
You appear on our screens and nearly win BGT
Now you are in a padded cell you no longer eschew blogging for the want of something better to
Rumbled Ms Boyle, now get thee to the recording studio xxx
MH - Ha ha, I can't believe you have found me out!! I am completely faking the "exhaustion", I just needed to create extra press and sympathy to increase my single sales. But don't worry, I won't be singing a wobbly version of Memories. Now has anyone seen my cat Pebbles? Back soon...
I agree with Tara, they give up too easily. A lot of these celebs get divorced through selfishness to want something they can't have. Where are the Paul and Joanna Newmans of the celeb world?
Oh CTTF I just nearly broke my wrist falling off my chair laughing at the thought of you being Susan Boyle!!!! I see you much more as the Amanda Holden type. (Not that I have ayinsie knowledge, mind! And am sure you never let your eyebrows get as unruly as Susan's now do you? me, however? Pass those tweezers sharpish!
Anyway, to comment on your fab post, it seems that marriage is merely another celeb accessory to those in the spotlight these days. Time they grew up and faced their responsibilities if you ask me...
Rather late with the comment, and totally unrelated to your post, but thought you might enjoy a few photos I stuck up on my blog of a "little" concert I went to at the weekend xx
Ah Confused. It's like you offered me the last chocolate of the top tray, only for me to discover later that there's no other layer. You're such a tease. Come back to me! MH
In the case of Peter and Katie, one word - "publicists".
Working Mum - Hi there, how are you? Will pop over to yours and catch up! I wonder if Paul Newman and Joanne Woodwards marriage was all that it seemed? They lived in a different era, when OK magazine didn't exist and people didn't sell their wedding rights...
Mom/Mum - Amanda Holden is heading your way - look out - she is trying to carve a career in the US. As for celeb marriages being like accessories - Jordan has moved on from hers and now has a new accessory - a hunky gay best friend...bizarre. There are photos of her clubbing wearing an outfit where you can see her lady bits. How undignified. Actually, I might ask if I can borrow it for Friday night...;o)
Yummy Mummy - I will come over after bath time and check it out. I think I know what it will be!!
MH - I think I am like a box of choccie liqueurs. I only appear at Christmas...
Expat Mum - Very nicely put. YOu are completely right.
