Kelsey & Camille Grammer

The new Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmember wants nothing more to do with housewifery, at least when it comes to her 13-year marriage to the Frasier star. The former Playboy model cites "irreconcilable differences" in her divorce petition and is requesting primary custody of their two children.

Jake Pavelka & Vienna Girardi

Looks like those who thought this Bachelor couple's relationship wouldn't last were right. After a few months of engagement, Pavelka and his controversial choice of mate have split. Perhaps Vienna's "stalkerish" ways are to blame, or maybe Jake's heart belongs to the latest Bachelorette?

Kim Kardashian & Reggie Bush

The on-again, off-again couple have returned to splitsville. But word is they're open to the idea of reconciling down the road, so we're holding out hope for the E! star and her New Orleans Saint.

Jake Gyllenhaal & Reese Witherspoon

If there was ever a couple that looked like they would go the distance, it was this adorable pair, who'd been together since falling in love while making their 2007 film Rendition. But, alas, it wasn't meant to be.

Julianne Hough & Chuck Wicks

Ta-da! Six months after Hough tried to show her country-singer beau the ropes on Dancing With the Stars, their relationship hit the skids. Maybe the 21-year-old, who now has a broken engagement and an ex-live-in-boyfriend to her name, will finally start acting her age and stop trying to settle down.

This is the day the music died. On a positive note, the ratings should be spectacular for the new season of Dancing With the Stars!
