6. Ethel Merman and Ernest Borgnine
Sadly enough, “Annie Get Your Gun” star Ethel Merman’s shortest marriage would be her last and fourth marriage of her lifetime. In June of 1964 Merman married “McHale’s Navy” star Ernest Borgnine, the two were divorced by July. Borgnine, who will be 92 later this month, has been married to his current and fifth wife Tova Borgnine for 36 years.

7. Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock
Pamela Anderson definitely has a thing for bad boys. After her very public battle with Tommy Lee, Anderson found her way into Kid Rock’s arms in 2001 and became engaged by 2002. However, they ended it before they made their way down the aisle. The couple found each other again in 2006 and were married and divorced within four months. But, Anderson wasn’t done there. In 2007 she married Rick Salomon for two months, but officially had it annulled 5 months later. I’m guessing she remembered the sex tape he made with Paris Hilton.
I don’t know what my type is,” Anderson told Ellen DeGeneres.

8. Eddie Murphy and Tracey E. Edmonds
Eddie Murphy may play a smooth husband in some of his movies however, he has proven otherwise in real life. Murphy struck out a second time in 2008 when he made his way to the alter for a spiritual ceremony with his fiancé Tracey E. Edmonds, who is the ex-wife of Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. The couple never made their way to a legal ceremony; their spiritual connection only lasted two weeks. I think maybe Spice Girl Melanie Brown having Murphy’s baby scared Edmonds away.
9. Colin Farrell and Amelia Warner
Former bad boy Colin Farrell has been linked to many ladies in Hollywood including Britney Spears and Mary-Kate Olsen. But before he was rumored to be dating these ladies, he thought he would settle down and be the husband type to actress Amelia Warner. The two got married in Bora Bora in July of 2001 when Farrell got Warner’s named inked on his ring finger. However, the tattoo will last much longer than their marriage that failed just four months later. Now Farrell is getting his life back together and puts his son, from his ex-girlfriend Kim Bordenave, first in his life.
It’s better for me, at 30, to be on my own,” Farrell admitted three years ago.
Britney Spears and Jason Alexander made history in 2004 ;)
Britney is always making history!! But she didn’t beat Zsa Zsa Gabor or Robin Givens!
I’m always amazed at celebrity marriages. Do you think they go into it thinking it will actually work or do they just don’t think beyond their next movie project?
I’m not sure what some of them think…especially the ones who don’t even know each other when they get married. Maybe they just want to be in the media?!
Back in 1909, Rudolph Valentino & Jean Acker were celebrities who were only married 8 HOURS!!!!!
Can you believe that?
8 hours? Really? I had no idea! Thanks for sharing…
Wow in 1909! Just goes to show Jacqui that celebrities are always quick to divorce!
