  • Tiger Woods

    Quite possibly the most famous dastardly ex to date, Tiger Woods made headlines when his <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/27/tiger-woods-injured-in-ca_n_372324.html " target="_hplink">November 2009 car accident</a> led to a slew of revelations about his many mistresses -- eleven, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/07/tiger-woods-mistress-coun_n_383441.html " target="_hplink">by one count</a>. His ex-wife Elin Nordegren reportedly received a $110 million settlement and joint custody of their two children in the divorce, which was<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/23/tiger-woods-divorce-final_n_691486.html#s81031 " target="_hplink"> finalized in August 2010</a>. The scandal cost Woods millions of dollars in corporate endorsements.

  • Jesse James

    Jesse James' marriage to Sandra Bullock unraveled in March 2010 when tattoo artist Michelle "Bombshell" McGee told <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/17/michelle-bombshell-mcgees_n_502251.html" target="_hplink"><em>In Touch</em> magazine</a> that she and the former "West Coast Choppers" star had slept together during his marriage. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/02/jesse-james-cheated-on-sa_n_522972.html " target="_hplink">Other mistresses</a> quickly came forward, and James checked in to rehab for <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/31/jesse-james-goes-to-rehab_n_519711.html " target="_hplink">sex addiction</a>. Bullock promptly filed for divorce in April 2010. Six months after their<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/28/sandra-bullockjesse-james_n_628121.html" target="_hplink"> split was finalized</a>, James got engaged to tattoo artist Kat Von D (the <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20531651,00.html" target="_hplink">relationship ended</a> in September 2011). When questioned by <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/04/jesse-james-on-sandra-bul_n_857828.html " target="_hplink">Nightline's Vicki Mabrey</a> about how the news impacted Bullock, James said, "I can't worry about her anymore."

  • LeAnn Rimes

    LeAnn Rimes had been married to backup dancer Dean Sheremet for seven years when she <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/25/leann-rimes-on-affair-wit_n_853535.html" target="_hplink">began an affair</a> with her "Northern Lights" co-star Eddie Cibrian, who was also married at the time. The press caught wind of the affair, and Rimes was <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/InTheSpotlight/leann-rimes-affair-actor-eddie-cibrian/story?id=12032482#.T6G82uzLyRk" target="_hplink">labeled a home wrecker</a> for breaking up Cibiran's marriage to Brandi Glanville, with whom he has two sons. Rimes and her ex-husband <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/19/leann-rimes-husband-files_n_398050.html" target="_hplink">divorced</a> in December 2009, three months after Cibrian split from Glanville, his wife of eight years.

  • Kelsey Grammer

    Camille Grammer <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/tv/grammer_check_1YDJwN2ubowTRVJUZCtR5M#ixzz1OAJ5hkN6" target="_hplink">once suggested</a> that her ex-husband Kelsey Grammer encouraged her to be on "Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills" so he could have an affair with his now-wife Kayte Walsh. Indeed, Kelsey Grammer left Camille and their two children in California to <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/camille-donatacci-found-kelsey-grammer-affair-real-housewives-filming-article-1.153234" target="_blank">star in La Cage aux Folles on Broadway,</a> and began a whirlwind affair with Walsh, a British flight attendant. Camille <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2010/07/01/kelsey-grammer-camille-grammer-divorce-files/" target="_blank">filed for divorce</a> in July 2010 after learning about his infidelity (documented on "Real Housewives"), and one month later Kelsey Grammer announced that <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/11/kayte-walsh-pregnant-kels_n_679485.html " target="_hplink">Walsh was pregnant</a> (she later miscarried, though Grammer announced in January 2012 that he and his wife are <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/16/camille-grammer-kelsey-kayte-walsh-pregnant-twins_n_1208750.html" target="_hplink">expecting twins</a>). <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/25/kelsey-grammer-married-ka_n_828463.html " target="_hplink">He wed Walsh</a> two weeks after his and Camille's divorce was finalized in February 2011. A year later, the pair's bitter <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/28/kelsey-grammer-camille-gr_n_1308044.html" target="_hplink">custody battle</a> over sons Mason and Jude came to an end.

  • Tori Spelling

    Tori Spelling <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/dailydish/detail?entry_id=24937#ixzz1OFbjMEQl" target="_hplink">reportedly </a>slept with her now-husband Dean McDermott the night that they met, despite being married to actor Charlie Shanian. She met McDermott, who was also married at the time, on the set of their TV movie "Mind Over Murder." To make matters worse, McDermott had <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20040326,00.html" target="_hplink">just adopted a newborn baby</a> with his then-wife Mary Jo Eustace, with whom he also has a son. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/23/celebrity-divorce-memoirs_n_826871.html#s244474&title=sTORI_Telling_by" target="_hplink">Spelling divorced Shanian</a> in October 2005, merely 15 months after their $1-million wedding, and eloped with McDermott the following May. Spelling and McDermott, who star in the reality show,"Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood," are now parents to four children.

  • Charlie Sheen

    Charlie Sheen is notorious for verbally bashing his ex-wives -- <em>in public</em>. In March 2011, he reportedly <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2011/03/04/charlie-sheen-denise-richards-custody-war-court-judge-texts-dateline/ " target="_hplink">accused Denise Richards</a> of being an awful mother and a loser, adding that he wished her a slow death. Later that month, <a href="http://articles.nydailynews.com/2011-03-29/gossip/29378538_1_sam-and-lola-charlie-sheen-tweet " target="_hplink">he tweeted</a>, "We must bombard with Warlock Napalm, that traitor and loser whore #DUH-neese POOR-ards, a vile kidnapper and now dog thief. hate. SBW." While on his "Torpedo Of Truth" tour in early April, <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1373888/Charlie-Sheen-tour-Crowd-whipped-frenzy-rage-Denise-Richards.html#ixzz1OABZ6liv" target="_hplink">Sheen led the audience</a> in a chant of "f*** that b****" against his ex, whom he divorced in November 2006. It seems like the former couple have patched things up since then. In January, shortly after the pair were <a href="http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2011/12/charlie-sheen-vacations-with-denise-richards-kids/1#.T4cg1OzLyRk" target="_hplink">photographed vacationing in Mexico with their two daughters</a>, Richards told "Access Hollywood" that she and Sheen had "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/18/denise-richards-and-charl_n_1214324.html" target="_hplink">actually become like brother and sister</a>." Still, Richards isn't the only subject of Sheen's verbal rampages: he told <a href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2011/03/exclusive-photos-video-interview-charlie-sheen-releases-photos-he-says-prove-ex " target="_hplink">RadarOnline</a> in March 2011 that his most recent ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, used drugs while on a family vacation. "I've been looking at it too long, that's why I divorced the b*tch," he said. Mueller and Sheen split in February 2010.

  • Ingrid Bergman

    Academy Award winning actress Ingrid Bergman was married to Petter Lindström, with whom she had a daughter, when she was cast in Italian director Roberto Rossellini's film "Stromboli" in 1950. During production, she fell in love with Rossellini, who was also married at the time, and became pregnant with their son. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/21/arnold-schwarzenegger-hollywood-scandals_n_864932.html#s281464&title=Fatty_Arbuckle" target="_hplink">A great scandal ensued</a>, and Bergman was censured on the floor of the U.S. Congress and couldn't return to America for years. "Hollywood wouldn't touch her," said James Robert Parish, the author of "The Hollywood Book of Scandals." She and Rosselini married in May 1950 (after a highly publicized divorce) and subsequently had twin daughters.

  • Tony Parker

    Eva Longoria decided to <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/17/eva-longoria-divorcing-to_n_784736.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/17/eva-longoria-divorcing-to_n_784736.html " target="_hplink">leave her marriage</a> after discovering that ex-husband Tony Parker had reportedly been "sexting" with a former teammate's wife for almost a year. Though Parker <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/31/eva-longoria-tony-parker-divorce-official-report_n_816148.html" target="_hplink">denied the allegation</a>, Longoria filed for divorce in November 2010. According to <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20442932,00.html" target="_hplink"><em>People</em> magazine</a>, Parker cheated on Longoria early in their marriage and kept in touch with the woman --a former teammate's wife -- on Facebook. Their divorce was finalized in January 2011. Still, Longoria says she has no ill-will toward her ex: "I always said I hold onto the love and not the loss. I think the press also wanted me to hate him and villainize him. And I don't. And I didn't," the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/05/eva-longoria-divorce-star_n_1406236.html" target="_hplink">actress said on "Good Morning America" in April 2011</a>.

  • Peter Cook

    Brinkley and Cook <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-07-12-brinkley_x.htm" target="_hplink">split in July 2006</a> after 10 years of marriage and <a href="http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-03-07/news/31133960_1_brinkley-and-cook-supermodel-christie-brinkley-child-support" target="_hplink">two children together</a>. The divorce that followed became a media frenzy centered around Cook's <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/07/09/entertainment/main4244989.shtml" target="_hplink">reported porn addiction and affair</a> with then 18-year-old Diana Bianchi, which reportedly caused the split. Four years after the divorce, their acrimonious custody battle continued. In March 2012, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/28/christie-brinkley-divorce_n_1385698.html" target="_hplink">both exes made the talk-show rounds</a> to counter the respective charges they'd made against each other, but by June 2012, the former couple had <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/25/christie-brinkley-and-peter-cook_n_1625861.html" target="_blank">settled their legal disagreement</a> .

No Kardashian???

The problem with divorce and marriage is that it is unatural to be married ; natural is to be in love with your spouse with or without marriage because no paper or any amount of ink can make a male / female couple live together til "death do you part", same sex marriage really makes it crazy .
Marriage is basically for the benefit of the clergy , wedding planners , "gold diggers" and finally Lawyers .

Obviously, Hollywood has made a 180 degree change over the years regarding its moral standards.
03:58 PM on 05/06/2012
Shame, shame, shame on you for not having Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the TOP of this list even ahead of Tiger Woods! All respect for those two, I don't care how rich they are and what they do with it. Movie stars, athletes, politicians......all are given too much attention and all should be censored in some fashion by society. Guess we don't have to look to far when searching for what happened to values in America.......oh, let's not forget Bill Clinton!

Nobody mentioned Elizabeth Taylor. She was involved with so many scandals and divorces yet Hollywood didn't expell her. Many actresses of old Hollywood had affairs with their leading men and publicly they were condemned. Depending on the studio, some still kept working in Hollywood and some didn't. Marilyn Monroe was always cast as a sex similar, yet she was a talented singer, dancer and serious actress. Sadly she was never really given the chance to show her true acting ability. From what I read, she didn't come close to Elizabeth Taylor's affairs, etc. and yet Elizabeth Taylor was still considered" America's girl next door"
03:57 PM on 05/06/2012
how very true your comments are. We do have a double standard and prejudiced opinion.
Fairness does not prevail in Hollywood for sure, hypochratical behaviour goes back to early MGM leaders.
All "old wrongs" are now a new style to be admired, single motherhood, etc...

I proposed both Elizabeth Taylor for ruining the marriage of Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds and Newton Gingrich, serial adulterer. I think my comments got buried. I concur. Elizabeth, so to speak is the Queen of home wreckers. In fact, I am not sure if she or Mickey Rooney have the record for the most celebrity marriages.
11:48 PM on 05/09/2012
Good Lord, it was a tie! Eight each, if you count the fact Elizabeth Taylor married Richard Burton twice. Of course Mickey is still alive and a sexy ninety something. Must have been all of that dancing when he was younger. Even at ninety two, he may be pound for pound the greatest living performer on earth having just done a cameo in the latest Muppet Movie.

Looking at divorce rates among the general population, there are very few who might have the right to throw a brick at glass houses and those who might have a right, are far too busy working on their own marriages to butt their noses into other people's business.

Buying a ticket to a movie, or show, doen't give you the right to sit on other's judgement seats.
03:58 PM on 05/06/2012
........mmalinjo, you are absolutely correct! Yet so many think the price of a movie ticket or their monthly cable bill allows them to pass judgement on people they don't even know but would trip over themselves and suck up to given the chance to meet.
03:15 PM on 05/06/2012
I think what Brad Pitt and Anjolina did was awful. They are still doing it. Charlie Sheen is my next in line.
04:03 PM on 05/06/2012
......hey racersmama, by chance are some kind of personal "clergy" to any of the people you mentioned? "Charlie Sheen is next in line" ??? Who are you to pass any kind of judgement on others? How about you and any other "Gladis Kravits" out there post your picture and background info so strangers can rip you apart and pass judgement on the way you run your life? Thats fair don't you think? You know that "people in glass houses.....thing"
03:01 PM on 05/06/2012
Was the Brinkley that Peter Cook was married to Christie Brinkley? If so, she was no saint either. And as for Charlie Sheen bashing all of his ex-wives, I can think of a gy who acted much like that; pop singer Eddie Fisher. And much like Sheen, Fisher's nasty attitude toward women also helped push his career into the dumper.
03:00 PM on 05/06/2012
"you must remember this" ....
02:56 PM on 05/06/2012
I'm all for "holding a person responsible" for misdeads. However, with Tiger Woods, is it necessary to stand on his neck, and kick him forever?
04:05 PM on 05/06/2012
......agree Linda however, who are any of us to "hold a person responsible for misdeeds"? Isn't that left up to the spouse or significant other to handle?

Jesse James "I can't worry about her anymore" ?? Really, when did you ever?
02:20 PM on 05/06/2012
The difference with today's hollywood and then is that today it is just a porn flick generator. Don't think so, pick an actress, type in her name followed by nude and see what you get! Hollywood, land of porn flicks and three month marriages.

Ingrid Bergman probably the greatest actress of all time .(The bells of St Mary s., Casablanca, For Whom The Bell Tolls ) She was an expert at cutting to the chaise ,and a great drama queen .No other female actor could win your sympathy like she could .Today there isn t a actor that would hold a candle to her .I believe that it was all politics that she didn t win Academy Award as she was somewhat rebellious Oh there is another film " Notorious ' any one of these pictures should have won her the big prize .Maybe she did win once ,but there are so many movies she did that were so great noone even back then can touch her
