My world has collapsed

Hate to bring everybody down so early on a Friday morning, but it seems the latest celebrity marriage is no more:

Oscar-winning actress Renee Zellweger and country singer Kenny Chesney are seeking an annulment after four months of marriage.

The Bridget Jones star, 36, married Chesney, 37, on a Caribbean beach in May, having met four months earlier at a benefit for tsunami victims.

In court papers Zellweger listed "fraud" as the reason for the break-up but did not elaborate.

To have a marriage annulled due to fraud, one of the parnters has to have "misrepresented some matter vital to the marriage." In Chesney's case, I'd hazard a guess one or more of following assertions he made to Zellweger was a lie:

A) he's straight
B) he has a full head of hair
C) he isn't a talentless Nashville whore, and his grotesque attempts at "music" aren't causing Hank Williams, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash to spin in their graves

I think I'll go with B, because even though C is true, what would that matter to someone who starred in Chicago?

Hard to take. If they can't make it, what hope is there for us mortals? Do you think this means that Kenny and Peyton Manning will finally hook up? I mean publicly?

Perhaps Chesney is really a woman?

Of course, that might have been good for Zellweger's career...

Sadly I really am wondering what the "fraud" was...it pisses me off that I care enough to wonder. ;)

Well, at least some high-priced family lawyers are going to make some money.

I've been hearing that Kenny's closeted for a couple of years now -- which is one reason I was so surprised when he married the Squinter.

I'll choose "A". The fact that Kenny's prettier (and that ain't sayin' much) than Renee is a clue.
