15 OF THE SHORTEST CELEBRITY MARRIAGES IN HOLLYWOOD HISTORY

15

Katy Perry + Russell Brand

14 months

These two star-crossed lovers met when Perry shot a cameo role for ‘Get Him to the Greek’ that ended up on the cutting room floor (that's what writers call “foreshadowing”). Sparks flew after they ran into each other again at the 2009 VMAs, and the pair married in October of 2010 — only to split just over a year later. But as you can see by their placement at the top of this list, they took “til death do us part” a bit more seriously than a lot of other couples.

Jennifer Lopez + Cris Judd

9 months

The catlike romantic nine lives of Jennifer Lopez get as much media attention as her actual artistic work — maybe more — so it’s no surprise she’s on our list. JLo met dancer and choreographer Cris Judd when he appeared in the video for her 2000 hit, 'Love Don't Cost a Thing,' and they married in September of 2001. After spending a lot of time having their picture taken together, they divorced in June of the following year.

10 ODD CELEBRITY HOOKUPS YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT

Hollywood is a pretty incestuous place, and with all that hooking up going on, it's not surprising that some very odd combinations have occurred. And quite a few of those couplings happened so long ago — or were over so quickly — that they often escaped mass media attention.

Kim Kardashian and Nick Lachey

Kim and Nick hooked up just six months after he and Jessica Simpson called it quits. It didn't last, but that's okay. He eventually found love with fellow D-lister Vanessa Minnillo, while Kim got TV-married and is now attached at the attentionwhorish hip with Kanye West.

10 SURPRISINGLY FAMOUS GUYS

Zach Galifianakis

5 feet 8 inches tall

 

 

The comedic actor and regular on FunnyorDie.com seemed so much taller in 'The Hangover' movies, and it was only seeing him dwarfed by the 6-foot-3-inch Will Ferrell during the promotional tour for 'The Campaign' that made us realize how short Zach Galifianakis really is. Maybe that pot he (allegedly) smoked with Bill Maher on 'Real Time' just stunted his growth.

Usher

5 feet 8 inches tall

 

 

Watching Usher bust out the moves on stage, one is temporarily blinded to the fact that he isn't nearly as tall as all those spotlights make him out to be. Like many of the other guys on this list, he may compensate by being a bit of a man-slut — he even recently admitted bedding one of his ex-wife's bridesmaids (after they split — or so he says).

Mark Wahlberg

5 feet 8 inches tall

 

 

The Gen Xers among us remember the erstwhile Marky Mark looming large on Times Square billboards, looking all buff in his Calvin Klein tighty whities. But somewhere between bopping around in the video for 'Good Vibrations' (which is one of the best songs ever, even if he'd rather forget about it) and becoming a respected actor and producer, Mark Wahlberg apparently fell victim to the dreaded Hollywood Shrink Ray.
