10. Amy Poehler and Will Arnett
"Love is dead!" That's what we thought when Amy and Will announced their split. The couple was married for 10 years and created two adorable ginger babies. Ugh, can't Amy just quit it with the men and get gay married to her friendsbian, Tina Fey?!
9. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams
It really isn't fair when an on-screen couple takes their love to the mean streets of the real world. It gives us REGs (regular people) hope. It leads us to believe love is like the movies— kissing in the rain, writing love letters and growing old together. Ryan and Rachel fell in love while filming the chick flick classic "The Notebook," broke up, got back together and then finally called it quits. It was a rough road for all of us. To make it worse Gosling is now with Eva Mendes. STAY STRONG!

Maria Shriver probably married one of the biggest scumbags of our time. Arnold is a cheater. Not only did he cheat with Brigitte Nielsen who is basically Dolf Lundgren in female form, BUT he had an affair with the maid on the DL for twelve, TWELVE years! AND they had a KID!

2. Tiger and Elin
Tiger Woods was at the top of his game in 2009. The most successful golfer ever, crazy endorsement deals, beautiful wife, kids, the whole nine. Well, when it broke later that year that Tiger Woods was a downlow dirtbag, the world, along with his Swedish model wife Elin Nordegren, lost their damn minds. The press started leaking reports of Tiger's wild ways. He had a group of famous friends who introduced him to the wild Vegas hooker lifestyle. From there, Mr. Woods spiraled out of control and soon Tiger got caught red-handed by the press and his wife. Then, all Tiger's mistresses starting coming forward and, boy, was that interesting.

1. Brad and Jen
We thought these two were the epitome of Hollywood couples. Their love seemed like it would last forever. They had matching highlights, for Christ's sake! Brad gushed to Oprah about how Jen was "the light." But in 2005, Jen's flame wasn't enough to stop the dark arts of Angelina Jolie, who snuffed Aniston "light" right out when she started working with Brad on the set of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." Jolie introduced Pitt to her son, showed him her tattoos and who knows what else?! In the end, Angie won because Brad took Jen on an "I'm Dumping You" vacation and the famous couple was last seen embracing on the beach in a teary goodbye.
