There are few guilty pleasures more satisfying than ogling tabloid celebrity marriage coverage. That is, until you get to ogle those same celebs getting divorced. And the messier the better. I know, I’m evil, but at least I’m honest.
And now, without further ado, a Jon & Kate-inspired list of our favorite celeb divorces.
10. Mel & Robyn Gibson
.

I was perhaps the biggest Mel fan out there – until he went off the reservation with all his sugar-tits Vatican I nonsense a few years ago. And it’s not so much that I want to see him (or his wife) suffer. Nor do I imagine he isĀ feeling too much suffering while he’s porking his new Russian girlfriend, but the perfect symmetry of his having to get a divorce and possibly wanting to remarry and having an illegitimate child while still trying to be a member of a church that is intolerant of that isn’t lost of me.
9. Jennifer Aniston & Brad Pitt
Normally I might succumb to jealousy and wish ill on such pretty people’s seemingly perfect match, but somehow, all these years and adopted children later, that break up has always struck me as a bit of a sad one. And it still sells the hell out of magazines.
8. Britney Spears & Kevin Federline

You know when you see two crazy morons getting married and you think, ‘There is no way that will ever last,’ and then it doesn’t and you feel proud of yourself for seeing it coming? I’d just like to thank them for not even making me wait too long for that satisfaction to arrive.
7. Denise Richards & Charlie Sheen

Oh, you married a guy who likes prostitutes and drugs? And it didn’t work out? Color me nonplussed. But it IS so very thoughtful of you to make sure all the messy details and arguments and custody battles and craziness makes it into the papers. Really. I’m not worried about your kids at all.
6. Alec Baldwin & Kim Basinger
Acrimony, they name is Alec & Kim. This one mostly just hurts my soul because Kim seems nice, I love Alec Baldwin’s work, and good God that poor kid is going to need therapy. These are some outbursts I wish would die down.
5. Paul McCartney & Heather Mills

Do you like this one because you just never wanted to see Paul with anyone but Linda, or because Heather is evil? I’m leaning towards option B. Seriously, that is one woman the world loves to hate.
4. Sharon Stone & Phil Bronstein

We all knew Sharon Stone was a crazy bitch, but it’s pretty fun when court documents come out to prove it. Botoxing your son’s feet? Totally normal. Can’t help but feel bad for that kid, though.
3. Christie Brinkley & Peter Cook

Oh, dirty laundry, you are so fun. Thousands of dollars a month on Internet porn and an affair with your barely legal nanny when you’re married to a model? That’s balls, sir. You kind of can’t help but feel bad for Christie Brinkley, though – she isn’t the luckiest in love. But then again, I guess that’s what you get for naming your kid Sailor.
2. Kate Walsh & Alex Young/Kelly Rutherford & Daniel Giersch (tie)


I watch neither Grey’s Anatomy nor Gossip Girl, yet I know who all these people are. When you are more famous for your bitter divorce than for your work as an actor, you know you qualify.
1. Liza Minnelli & David Gest

Oh Liza, this is what you get for being old, nuts, and booze-soaked. Oh, and marrying a gay man (see Star Jones).
