So here's a list of seven divorces that surprised the entertainment...
1. Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese: In some odd way, this seemed like a match made in Heaven. The gothic shock-rocker and the former fetish model, burlesque queen, and makeup spokesperson...that appeared to be a match. They could share cosmetic tips while tying each other up.
Originally thought to be the rebound girl to Manson's breakup with Rose McGowan, the more people saw the two together the more they saw that they clicked well. Manson strayed away from the shock side of his rock persona and actually started wearing suits that were similar to those worn in the age of burlesque. His image classed up and the pair hit the red carpets with a style that hadn't been seen in decades. They married in 2005 and everything seemed right.
Then on Christmas morning, 2006, Dita left Marilyn. What leaked out was that Marilyn had a side affair with then 19-year-old actress, Evan Rachel Wood. After the divorce, Manson released his 2007 single, "Heart-Shaped Glasses" which starred Wood in the music video. The song was about the first time they met. What wasn't released as a single was the song "If I Was Your Vampire" which was the lead song on Eat Me, Drink Me and was about his breakup with Dita.
Since then Manson has released more albums, acted in shows such as Sons of Anarchy and Californication, and continued his career in art. Dita went on to design her own line of lingerie and clothing while also becoming a spokesperson for MAC.
2. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner: Not unlike Brad and Angelina, Ben and Jennifer became closer on the set of an action movie. At the time of filming Daredevil, Garner and her husband at the time, Scott Foley, split, but Garner did not instantly go after Affleck. Instead she ran into the arms of her Alias co-star, Michael Vartan.
That relationship last a year and Garner found Affleck again. In less than a year, the two married each other in a ceremony officiated by another Alias co-star, Victor Garber. For the next 10 years, the two starred in a number of hit movies. Garner in movies such as Valentine's Day, Juno, Draft Day, and Dallas Buyers Club. Affleck in movies such as Hollywoodland, The Town, and Argo. The two even had three kids together.
Out of nowhere, the two then split. There were rumors of Affleck's affair with the nanny, but Garner said that the two of the separated months before she heard those rumors. The two continue to live in the same residence to this day despite not being married. They have publicly said that this is so they can both be there for their children.
3. Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger: Okay, so they're not entertainment royalty. Actually they're some of the only Canadians that people hate. Kroeger of Nickleback fame found himself working together with Lavigne to write more music that gives Canada a bad name. It didn't take too long for the two to decide that they wanted to be together forever. After a month of dating the two became engaged.
The two married on Canada Day...yes, another fact about the two that just seems to make us hate them a little more. It's like they were trying to prove how Canadian they are.
Within two years Lavigne announced to the world that she was leaving Kroeger in the only way she knew how...via her Instagram account. The only person she can now hookup with that could potentially create a more hated Canadian couple is Justin Bieber. May God have mercy on Canada if they find each other.
4. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe: This match seemed to be right out of the movies. Although the bad omen might have been that the movie was Cruel Intentions and that Phillippe's character was originally more interested in sleeping with his step-sister played by Sarah Michelle Gellar.
The pair dated while shooting the cult hit and eventually married just two months after it was released. They were both up and coming actors that appealed to the youth demographic. Potentially a Hollywood power couple that could last for years. During their time together, Witherspoon starred in movies such as Legally Blonde, Sweet Home Alabama, and Walk the Line. Phillippe starred in The Way of the Gun and Crash.
The pair had two children and everything seemed perfect...until Witherspoon found herself bored with Philleppe and found herself in the arms of Jake Gyllenhaal. Phillippe and Witherspoon broke up and not too long afterward, Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal also broke up.
5. Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee: Together for only four days, the couple married on a beach and never even told their own family. Anderson's mom found out about their wedding while reading a copy of People magazine. Though it seemed like they rushed into marriage together, something about the two made sense. He, the drummer from Motley Crue and she was the Playboy playmate turned star of movies such as Barb Wire. Both of them were rock stars in their own right.
It didn't take long for their relationship to change the entertainment world. The sex tape from their honeymoon became the first prominent celebrity sex tape to hit the internet, almost making them more famous for their amateurly shot tape than they were for their already A-list careers.
The two partied hard, but burned out quickly. Within three years the two split, occasionally reconciling here and there as time passed. Anderson would find another rock star, Kid Rock, to hook up with, but her A-list career faded out and she would go on to announce that she had contracted Hepatitis C from a shared tattoo needle with Lee.
6. Bruce Willis and Demi Moore: The two married not long after Moore called off her engagement to fellow Bratpacker, Emilio Estevez. Both of their careers were soaring at the time they hooked up and instantly they became a power couple.
Willis ditched the TV career and became a bonafide action star. He starred in hits such as the Die Hard series, Pulp Fiction, The Fifth Element, and Armageddon. Moore would go on to be a sex symbol in movies such as Ghost, Strip Tease, G.I. Jane, Disclosure, and Indecent Proposal. Together the couple had three kids.
The problem was that they were too powerful. Constantly finding hit movies to star in, neither made the time to spend with each other. This eventually led to Moore calling off the marriage as the two grew apart.
Moore would go on to be a cougar and marry Ashton Kutcher. During their marriage, Willis always found himself around and the three were somewhat oddly close. Willis also married later on, but to a lesser known actress. This didn't stop him from starring in more hit movies such as Sin City, more Die Hard movies, and Looper.
7. Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe: This marriage appeared to be one straight out of a story book. A baseball legend and the prototypical Hollywood starlet. Shortly after being suspended by 20th Century-Fox for refusing to act in the stereotypical role of a dumb blonde-bombshell, Monroe married the Yankee Clipper.
DiMaggio's strength helped her through the time period in her life when she challenged the standard Hollywood studio system that treated actors and actresses like indentured servants. With his support, Monroe formed her own production company with photographer Milton Greene. This was the beginning of the end of the Hollywood studio system.
Monroe starred in River of No Return to get out of her suspension before movie on to hit movies such as The Seven Year Itch and There's No Business Like Show Business.
Determined to become known as a serious actress, Monroe then moved to New York. While there, her affair with playwright Arthur Miller led to the end of her marriage with DiMaggio. She ended up marrying Miller while DiMaggio remained heart broken. He never stopped loving Marilyn.
Even after death, DiMaggio paid for Monroe's funeral and sent flowers on a regular basis to her final resting place until the day he died.
