Why Do We Care? (Or Do We?)

The gossip mill has been agog with rumors that Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are headed for divorce. Apparently they plan to announce their divorce right after singing a Valentine’s Day duet at Madison Square Garden.

Jen and Marc, what went wrong? Did Jen finally realize that Marc is nowhere near her level of attractiveness? Did Marc get mad that Jen let the world know she is but a mere mortal? And do we really give a crap whether their marriage will stand the test of time?

I have been rocked by celebrity divorce news in the past. Reese and Ryan. Tea and David. And yes, Brad and Jen. But I’m kind of over it. Perhaps there have just been too many this year. Or perhaps I have decided that celebrities just aren’t cut out for normal married life and should just live together until they meet someone new on the set.

What about you? Are you desperate to know whether Jen and Marc will kick each other to the curb? Do you think celebrity marriages are more fragile than normal marriages? Do you care?
