Can celebrity relationships really survive?

  I think that the problem for celebrity couples is that divorce is too easy. I was listening to a sports radio talk show host once talk about his divorce. He said that he and his ex-wife built side by side houses so that the kids would have as much access to each parent as possible. For the rest of us, this is not a reality. Divorce means separation from our kids and for many people, especially men, it means financial ruin. When a celebrity separates, they go live in one of their other phenomenal homes. When the average Joe leaves his wife, they go rent a room and sleep on an egg crate or a blow up mattress.

  I think being as famous as they all are, we all watch their every move. I'm guilty of it. However, I think celebrity or not, marriages sometimes fail. The examples posted above are proof of that. Despite being divorced now, Valerie Bertinelli and Eddie Van Halen survived marriage for 20 years. John Travolta and Kelly Preston have been married quite a long time as well. It can be done. Just like us "normal" people, some marriages break up and some don't. We're all humans, despite being famous or not.

  I am surprised that Madonnas' marriage to Guy Ritchie lasted as long as it did. He made her settle down and raise his kids. I knew it was only a matter of time when she wanted to get back out there and wild out again. She was warming up to being wild again when she kissed Brittany Spears on stage in front of millions of people. That just brought the freak out of her again. I know she has thought about that kiss since it happened. She's always been bi-sexual if you ask me!

  Soooo, did they adopt little David to?????????? Oh that's right..they have a nanny...she''ll raise him.

  I will say, I HAVE always liked her music however maybe if she would have just taken the narcissistic bug out of her ass it would have worked? Maybe Guy got sick of all her fake accents. Hmmm, which one of my wives accents will I wake up to today....Oh darn.......the bitchy, controlling, degrading English one! s---! It's gonna be a fun day here today!!!! Think I'll slip out and go make a movie.

  Well I guess it goes to show you....money and fame cannot buy you happiness. At least the kids will have each other and hopefully mature enough amicable parents to see them thru the days ahead. Oh. thats right.....the nanny.They have the nanny. whew. close one.

  Sure their relationships can last, look at Will and Jada or John and Kelley. They have to get married for the right reason and have a core belief in the same things and similar goals. I guess in this way the "stars" are just like us. Most importantly, divorce is not a get out of jail free card. You have to still want to be with the person when you forget that you love them and why you were not insane when you made the decision to marry them in the first place. It’s all about the foundation and the decision to stay faithful that has to be set by both people. There has to be more to the relationship than one or two things and agreements and pacts in place before you even walk down the isle. You have to at least like the person you are marrying be willing to continue doing what ever it was you were doing to get them to ask you to marry them in the first place and add a little spice as often as it feels like the relationship is going stale. They have the added stress of the media, the leading whomever in certain roles that have no respect for marriage, the paparazzi but there are ways around them and how to handle those stresses need to be figured out before they say I do, just like us.

  Here's a neat thought - let's stop predicting a marriages failure before it happens!!! The reason that celebrity relationships don't usually last is because of the very same people who wrote this article. Get out of their lives and let them live in private. Celebrities deserve the same privacy rights as everyone else - they give us the public side when they are presenting their craft to us...at all other points it's none of our business.

  I am sick and tired of the never ending stories by tabloid-esque reporters that discuss the constant harrassment by the paparazzi, when this writer herself is part of the problem not part of the solution. Get a real life and stop writing about someone elses!

  Oh and P.S. if your going to include a stars name - please spell it correctly!! Desi's last name is spelled ARNAZ not Arnez....and just for comment, but Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz were well known before 'I Love Lucy', that show just happens to be what made them a household name. Never...Ever compare Jessica Simpson to Lucille Ball. She couldn't even lick the dirt off of Lucy's shoes!!!!!!!

  Celebrity marriages can and do work just like the rest of America...but,basically,the only difference between celebrities and the rest of us is the money they have amassed where they can afford high-profiled and high-priced attorneys to handle all the hoopla of press and paperwork involved.

  Whether or not one is a celebrity or not does not reflect upon the matters of the heart working or lasting...as it takes both parties to be interested in making the relationship work,commmunication and trusting each other is necessary,as well it helps to be friends while considering all issues honestly and jointly.All relationships--whether friendship or otherwise--take give and take to keep it prospering and healthy.

  Madonna and Guy's marriage is no different than any other.For if it does not work out than they are able to go for a number of scenarios that will help both heal and move on without affecting their children adversely like irreconcilable differences wherein one does not see eye to eye with the other party;in no way should it reflect negatively upon them as a failure because they were successful to have it last as long as the facts present.If it does work out than that is all the better for them.God Bless Madonna and Guy Richie for having to read about everyone analyzing their marriage...including myself,but I love debating issues.
