Renée Zellweger once thought Kenny Chesney's tractor was sexy. The pair, who wed in May 2005, tied the knot on the Caribbean island of St. John a mere four months after they met at a tsunami-relief event. But like their brief courtship, their marriage quickly ended — four months later, the pair announced plans for an annulment, with Zellweger citing "fraud" as the reason for the split. The fraud claim sparked rumors about Chesney's sexuality, which Zellweger assuaged by explaining that the term was "simply legal language and not a reflection of Kenny's character." It is the only marriage for either thus far.
9. Jennifer Lopez and Cris Judd, 218 Days
Years before her recent split with Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez spent a brief seven months married to professional dancer and choreographer Cris Judd. The two met when Judd was hired to perform in her music video for "Love Don't Cost a Thing." (Wonder if Lopez is singing the same tune after three divorce settlements?) The pair got engaged only a few months after Lopez broke off her three-year relationship with Puff Daddy. Married in September 2001, the couple called it quits by June of the following year.
8. Elizabeth Taylor and Conrad "Nicky" Hilton, 205 Days
It was a match made in Hollywood heaven, which is why, of course, it could never last. Movie star Elizabeth Taylor and hotel magnate Conrad "Nicky" Hilton tied the knot on May 6, 1950, in a lavish ceremony that was the first, and perhaps the most traditional, of the starlet's eight weddings to seven husbands (she married Richard Burton twice). Taylor was only 18 when she said "I do" to 24-year-old Hilton, but after only 205 days of marriage — three months of which were spent cruising Europe on their honeymoon — it was obvious that their union lacked wedded bliss.
7. Drew Barrymore and Tom Green, 163 Days
In 2000, Drew Barrymore and Tom Green enjoyed teasing the American public about their impending wedding date — even going as far as to stage a Saturday Night Live stunt to get the country clamoring for the real thing. But in the end, the Hollywood couple enjoyed the thought of marriage much more than the action. Their yearlong engagement far outlasted the couple's nuptials, and the July 2001 wedding was quickly followed by Christmas divorce papers.
6. Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock, 122 Days
One would think that a booze-filled wedding on a yacht in St.-Tropez would be the secret to lasting happiness, but Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock proved that despite their tropical nuptials, marriage isn't always smooth sailing. After an on-and-off romance from 2001 to '03, the couple rekindled their relationship in early July 2006. A few weeks later, they married in true rock-star style with Anderson in a white string bikini and Rock in a white T-shirt and baseball cap.
5. Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley, 107 Days
The King of Rock 'n' Roll's only daughter met Hollywood heavyweight Nicolas Cage at Johnny Ramone's birthday party in 2000, sparking a romance that just couldn't be sedated, despite its on-again, off-again status over the next two years. Those pesky breakup rumors were shattered, however, when the couple married in a lavish Hawaii ceremony in August 2002. But by November, lovey-dovey headlines had soured, and Cage slapped Presley with divorce papers, noting that they "shouldn't have been married in the first place."
4. Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, 72 Days
A mere 72 days after their much hyped and überpricey nuptials, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from her NBA-player husband Kris Humphries. The couple, who dated for six months prior to getting engaged, chronicled their rocky courtship on the E! show Keeping Up with the Kardashians and their dramatic wedding in a two-day special, Kim's Fairytale Wedding.
3. Mario Lopez and Ali Landry, 18 Days
Baby-faced Saved by the Bell star Mario Lopez married model and actress Ali Landry in April 2004, but the marriage ended before the honeymoon could even begin. The couple annulled their union after only two weeks, when Landry discovered that Lopez had been unfaithful throughout their nearly six-year courtship. Both have since moved on and have children with their respective partners.
2. Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra, 9 Days
There are bad decisions and worse decisions, and then there are Dennis Rodman's decisions. The seven-time NBA rebounding champion, who helped the Chicago Bulls win five titles, wore a wedding dress to a book signing for the release of his 1996 autobiography. Much like his eye-catching fashion choices, when Rodman married Baywatch beauty Carmen Electra in a 7 a.m. Las Vegas ceremony in 1998, the news turned a few heads. His publicist questioned the legality of the marriage, saying Rodman may have been "deeply intoxicated" at the time. For their part, the couple said their love was legit — until nine days later, when they filed for an annulment.
1. Britney Spears and Jason Alexander, 2 Days
Before the rehab stints, the head shaving and the court hearings, Britney Spears was America's pop princess. The virginal Southern sweetheart played into her public perception for nearly 10 years, until drugs, alcohol and a sudden disregard for reality sent her tumbling off her industry-fashioned pedestal. After a public breakup with Pop Charming, 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake, Spears' first highly public mishap was her 2004 marriage to childhood friend Jason Alexander in Las Vegas, a "till death do us part" that lasted all of 55 hours.
