Doomed Marriages

Wow. I read about Larry King to start my day: Larry King seeks divorce from seventh wife after 22 years

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Larry King is seeking a divorce from his seventh wife, Shawn King, after 22 years.
The 85-year-old talk show host filed a petition to end the marriage Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Larry King and Shawn King, then a singer and TV host, married in 1997 and have two adult sons, Chance and Cannon.
They both filed for divorce in 2010 but later reconciled.
Larry King has been married eight times to seven different women and has five children. He married and divorced Alene Akins twice.
He has overcome several serious health issues in recent years, including a bout with lung cancer two years ago.

Then, I saw that Liam Hemsworth seeks to divorce Cyrus after 7 months of marriage.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Liam Hemsworth is seeking a divorce from Miley Cyrus after seven months of marriage.

The 29-year-old Australian actor filed for the dissolution of his marriage to the 26-year-old American pop star in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday.

Hemsworth, whose attorney Laura Wasser has been involved in many major stars’ divorces, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

The two were an on-again, off-again couple for more than a decade before marrying in December. They announced their separation on Aug. 10.

They have no children but said in the statement announcing their separation that they will remain “dedicated parents to all of their animals they share.”

Let me guess - Hemsworth & Cyrus thought that getting married would end their troubles during the decade that they were together. At least the pets will be okay <snicker>

Finally, as if reading about the disintegration of the two marriages above was not enough, I read this article about Ready or Not, a movie that was just released. Per the article, "Samara Weaving has a breakout performance as a new bride who tries to stay alive until dawn after her wedding day as her in-laws hunt her down and try to kill her." 

I guess I can't bitch about Hollywood not having any new ideas because I certainly cannot think of any other movie that includes that plot. Seriously! What other movie is about a new bride who tries to stay alive until dawn after her wedding day as her in-laws hunt her down and try to kill her. My mind is drawing a blank!
