Radio Station Breaks Up… Marriage

SimchaFebruary 14, 2008 //

Sick of your spouse, but your bank account is worse off than you are? No problemo! You’ve got a couple more hours to apply for WKLC Rock 105’s divorce give away. One lucky couple will get a trip to Splitsville for free from West Virginian attorney Rusty Webb. Jay Nunley, the sympathetic scrooge of Valentine’s Day and smart station programming director, said about the promotion, “Sure we can give away concert tickets, and we do. That’s going to make you happy for a little while. This is the chance to make someone happy for the rest of their life.” To qualify for the un-”I do’s”, just fill out this form and then tune-in for the divorce drawing at 5pm. Good luck dumping the douche! But if you don’t win, perhaps you could give your worse half a box of crappy worm-filled chocolates for Valentine’s Day. That oughta get the job done. [Yahoo!

    Mills’ Name Is Mud

    SimchaFebruary 11, 2008 //

    Heather Mills is in big trouble! Her old lover Tim Steel, a former male model, claims she cheated on Paul McCartney with him for six months. Steel says she loved for him to rub her amputee stump and that she would roll out of his bed and into lavish romantic vacations with her Beatle husband without batting an eyelash. This bomb dropped just in time, since the divorce court battle over alimony (why no pre-nup you hopeless romantic hippie?) and custody of their daughter Beatrice, 4, began today in London. It’s been a long and winding road to finalize the split and finally the peace loving Paul has been given the ammo he needs to defeat the gold digging she-devil who has broken his heart, gone after $98 million settlement, and above all, slandered his name. In court, McCartney will have to defend himself against allegations of spousal abuse as Heather acts as her own lawyer. While Mills may have previous experience as a soft-core porn star in the 80’s, this time she’s going to be the one getting whipped. Good riddance! We’d just like to say to the newly single Sir Paul, you’ll always be our knight in shining armor. [Reuters and Perez Hilton] Keep reading »

    Spiderman Is Single

    Catherine StrawnJanuary 16, 2008 //

    Together for more than 20 years, a couple loved by many has called it quits. Peter Parker and Mary Jane, who were married in 1987 at Shea Stadium in New York, are no longer together as of this month. Joe Quesada, the editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics, has said that it was time to shake things up in Peter Parker’s life, and it would easier to do this if Spider-Man were single. It sounds as though Spidey is going through a mid-life crisis, but actually Mary Jane agreed to a bargain with Memphisto: He would restore Aunt May’s health, but all the world, including Mary Jane, would forget they knew of Spider-Man’s existence. The life of a superhero’s wife sounds rough. [Fox News] Keep reading »

    Divorce Greatest Threat To The Ecosystem After Pollution

    SimchaJanuary 3, 2008 //

    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.

    Divorce-O-Grams: The New Spam?

    Amelia McDonell-ParryJanuary 3, 2008 //

    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. Keep reading »

    UPDATE: Pamela Anderson’s Relationship Fluctuates More Quickly Than Her Breast Size

    Catherine StrawnDecember 17, 2007 //

    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.

    Pamela Anderson’s Marriage Vanishes

    Catherine StrawnDecember 17, 2007 //

    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]

    Odds Still In Divorce’s Favor

    Amelia McDonell-ParryDecember 4, 2007 //

    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.
