"Not all Hollywood romances have fairytale endings."

WHAT????

How many hollywood romances do have fairytale endings?

The only way I could see a couple of married actors staying together is if they got out of the business. I'll be d@mn3d if I allow anyone else to ever kiss my wife.

You have to remember. Hollywoodies get all lovey, dovey and think it's love and don't have a plan as to how to make it last or even if they really care that it lasts. It's about all the attention from papparazzi and adoring fans which they crave and get with the latest arm candy. It's publicity which can't be bought and looks good at premiers, openings, parties until things calm down and they realize they've nothing in common. Cheating is the most common in break-ups no matter who or what profession others have.

What happen to stricken it out and working out your issues! Once you lose your family it is hard to get it back, sometimes it just takes hard work, but it pays off in the long run! I simply hate to see two beautiful families destroyed, but with hard work anyone can overcome difficult times if they truly want their family.

What's more shocking is the money these couples have made and what little they have shared with needy and hungry American children, some of which reside in their hometown communities.

Money for clothes for themselves? Yes.

Money for shoes in abundance for themselves? Yes.

Money for make-up and cosmetic enhencement for themselves? Yes.

Hedonistic narcissists!

Not to be idolized, but shunned!

Kobe nor his wife owe anybody anything! Broke folks always wanna act like they would give up their fortune helping other people. Help people with what ever extra you have, and don't worry about how dude handles his. None of us know what or if he's given money to others. What I do know is that it's none of mine our concern.

Is Mrs. Bryant showin' a glimpse of aureola? Perhaps it's the shadow. On both sides. Life.

If you are shocked by celebrity splits, then you are paying too much attention to people who have no meaning in your life.

Who would cheat on Vanessa Bryant? She's shockingly beautiful.

If Kobe and Will Smith teamed up after they finalize their divorces. Within minutes of that news breaking 20,000 even hotter girls will be lined up outside of their mansions.

If one of the 20,000 were Vanessa Bryant, I'd take her over all the rest provided she has herself fumigated of all of Kobe's bacteria, fungus, viruses and filth.

Vanessa, is that you?

WHO, WHO, WHO would cheat on Vanessa Bryant? Only a moron of course because she's the most shockingly beautiful woman I've ever seen. NO ONE can hold a candle to her.

Which supports the notion that outer beauty doesn't necessarily mean inner beauty.

There are no shocking splits on this list. Not one.

Really? I mean, I'll give you all the others, but Thurston and Kim? That was way out of left field.

I must admit, there's a silly, puerile part of my mind that thinks, "Oh boy! J-Lo is single again. Now's my chance."

The Schwarz's make for one wrinkly couple.

Cheated on the dude with a guy from the worst band ever...that sucks

The only one of these that came close to shocking me was Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore. For most of the rest, the shock is that they lasted as long they did (yes, even Kardashian/Humphries).

Second that.
