Shortest Celebrity Marriages (INFOGRAPHIC)

First Posted: 10/31/11 06:25 PM ET   Updated: 11/02/11 02:52 PM ET

Kim Kardashian filed for divorce today from her husband of just 72 days, Kris Humphries.

Though Humphries says he was "blindsided" by the divorce, Kardashian, citing "irreconcilable differences," told E! that "things don't [always] work out as planned."

Some might say you can't know whether or not a marriage will "work out" in just 72 days--but if you think they're the first couple to call it quits quickly, you're in for a surprise. Nearly a dozen Hollywood couples have split faster than Kardashian and Humphries.

Who had the shortest union? Check out the infographic below to find out.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this graphic incorrectly listed the last name of Travis Barker as Baker and the last name of Renee Zellweger as Zelweger. The graphic has been updated to correct these error.
CLARIFICATION: An earlier version of this graphic listed the marriage of Elizabeth Taylor to Nicky Hilton. This refers to Conrad "Nicky" Hilton, a Hilton heir born in 1926, not Nicole Hilton, a Hilton heiress born in 1983. The graphic has been updated to reflect this clarification.

Okay stop with the gay marriage, this has nothing to do with that. Yes it is sad they some people arent even married a DAY and they give up. I think yes,Kim should put more effort into the marriage into letting it survive, but this must be hard on 2 now failed marriages for Kim. But, I know people that do the same, and when its a celeb that some dont like, she gets dissed. The TT on twitter the other day was 'things lasting longer than kims wedding" You know that must hurt seeing things like that. I feel that she will maybe find love someday, but now is just not the time and although people may think oh she deserved this marriage fail blah blah blah I feel that nobody deserves to go through this heartbreak.

What a joke. It is not bad enough for them to be famous for being famous. Now they look like the fools that paid millions for their wedding. I just don't get it, but think the whole thing is pretty funny.

Too funny.
The Kardashians are not on my radar, but you would have to live under a rock to have not heard about this big wedding. My guess, they will all chase happiness all their lives, there are some things that just can't be bought.

Is the Kardashian divorce such 'breaking news' that HuffPost couldn't take the time to spell check?

And just how much money did they earn from the horribly pretentious wedding? Those two should give all that money to away to their favorite charity....lol as if they had a charity? They are very sorry souls...
beyond contemptable......ugh...

In total, the wedding brought in $17.9million. It's disgusting really. They should make them return the sponsor money.

That wedding was a terrible terrible thing. in these here perilous times!

Kim said in another article that all the money made was going to the "Dream foundation" which she has supported in the past. I think if she said it, certain people will make sure she goes through with it.
08:51 AM on 11/01/2011
Those two werent even in love. They did it for publicity and sex.
03:57 PM on 11/01/2011
Correction, publicity. They need not marry for the other.
06:50 AM on 11/01/2011
Just keep in mind that its they "gays" that are ruining the idea of marriage not these short fused romances that look good on T.V. or in certain circles im glad they are here to give a proud look at a traditional wholesome marriage based on mutual respect and communication

It is strange that Todd Meister and Elizabeth both married Nicky Hilton. Is that the same person? I am curious about that.

Not the same person. Something about that name though I guess.

I think they are two different people. One would be Paris Hilton's sister, the other the grandfather?

One short for "Nicholas" and the other for "Nicole", but all in the same family. Nicky was physically abusive to Taylor. She basically married him to prove she was a woman and not a child actor anymore.
