Although we are often reminded that it is not okay to judge, and celebrities' lives are truly under a microscope on a daily basis, many of us find ourselves asking why these celebrities even bother getting together in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I am not implying that us regular folk's don't have our fair share of drama and breakups as well, but I don't think anyone wants to make the argument that ours are of the same magnitude as these celebrities are. The biggest joke and critique that was often made about shows like Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose place and Dawson's creek was that sooner or later everyone on these shows will end up dating each other! Have you taken a look at Hollywood lately?

It is truly fascinating to see these celebrities come on Oprah's show (or any other show for that matter) and pronounce their undying love for their new sweetheart. The truly comical aspect of this is that these same celebrities were on the show no more then a year earlier professing their love for someone else. How many times have you seen celebrities eyes light up as they are asked a question about their new partner and then have them answer the question with such glee? Skip forward a few months and these same celebrities aren't able to answer the question of whether they are still together or not! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you have no comment you are most likely no longer together.

In normal society you can have breakups occur that can be quite troubling but for some strange reason celebrities tend to have the downright nastiest of breakups. If it's not about meeting a new lover on a movie set then it's about cheating with another high profile celebrity's partner. What truly sets celebrity breakups apart from those of the rest of society is the issue of money. The fact of the matter is many of these celebrities stay married longer simply due to them not wanting to have to go to court and split up their money. None of us are in a position of having seen 50 million dollars or more vanish before our eyes in a divorce settlement. One extremely shocking case was when a billionaire hotel owner was forced to pay three hundred thousand dollars a month in child support alone. The law states that when you separate you should still be accommodated to the point that your lifestyle is equivalent to the one you were living while married. Well when some of these celebrities are worth one hundred million dollars plus its plain to see how these breakups can get disturbingly nasty

Yes, celebrities are still people and I am in no way trying to dispute that. Society does have to admit that the breakups we have can in no way shape or form hold a flame to the volcanic eruptions known as a celebrity breakup. Although it is a fact that you can turn on Jerry Springer and see some outrageous regular people (and I use that term quite loosely) not even they can match up to the Hollywood breakup.
