More men than women (22 percent vs. 11 percent) cite sex as the reason for their divorce. We could have guessed that. [Divorce360]

Going green has made its way to the bedroom. According to a new study conducted at Michigan State University, the divorce rate is taking its toll on the environment because single living spaces require as much energy as a shared home. From air conditioners to appliances, the strain on electricity production and natural resources has had a negative impact on all 11 countries that were studied. That, of course, includes our very own land of the free, which has attributed over 10 billion dollars a year in excess energy costs to 16.5 million single residences. So in the end, if enviro-windbags Larry and Laurie David were really serious about saving Mother Earth, they’d soldier on for eternity in the tormented hell of their loveless marriage.

Salon has an interesting story about the rising prevalence of “divorce announcements” coming from average couples seeking to make their entire address book aware of their impending split. How Hollywood! Seriously, it used to be that only glamorous movie stars headed to divorce court let “the public” know about the sad end to their perfect marriage. Remember how heartbreaking it was the day Tom Cruise split from Nicole Kidman? Weren’t you glad to know ? We were, on account of they’re famous and glamorous. But as for marriage updates from Sorority Sister Sue and Cubicle Mate Cathy, that just seems a little TMI, thanks. After the jump, see what you might be getting in the mail if we don’t nip this trend in the bud NOW.

So, it’s possible that Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon aren’t calling it quits quite yet. Apparently, the two had a huge fight and Pam was a bit hasty in filing for divorce, because the diary on her website says, “We’re working things out…” We can only hope that there will be an Anderson-Salomon make-up sex tape in our future.

After just two months of marriage to Rick Salomon, Pamela Anderson has filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. How different can the two be? They’ve both been previously married (and divorced) and they’re both into making sex tapes. While it seems like they have a lot in common, perhaps the marriage was doomed from the moment the two said their vows: The wedding took place between the 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows of Hans Klok: The Beauty of Magic, where Pam was the magician’s assistant. It’s too bad Hans can’t make the marriage disappear. [Perez Hilton]

The latest U.S. Census has been released and there’s news! First, what’s good: Divorce rates have leveled off in the last few years—Hooray! But they still suck—Boo! Seventy-percent of couples who married after 1970 made it to their tenth anniversary, but, unfortunately, many marriages are ending in divorce after the first decade. Still, the experts think that the increased number of divorces in the last 30 years has a little less to do with people being cheaters and liars and scammers and flakes and quitters and more to do with the fact that in the ‘50s—when only weirdos did it—divorce was harder to get, expensive, and majorly frowned upon. Chances are those couples were totally miserable, too. Nowadays, the potential that your blissfully sweet (for now) relationship could go kaput is just another inevitable part of getting married in the first place, like dwindling sex, growing beer bellies, and the Crate & Barrel catalog. And with divorce comes something marriage just doesn’t offer—upgrades. As my own boyfriend and potential future husband/ex-husband/alimony payer says about Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, “She’s right about my second wife’s age.” Watch it ladies, I’ve already got dibs on Kingston Rossdale.
