celebrity couples

Two of Canada's biggest names in music are about to get hitched! Avril Lavigne's rep's told People Magazine that she and Nickelback's lead singer Chad Kroeger are engaged. How did we not know these two were dating, but we know every move of Kim Kardashian?

This week we said goodbye to a number of celebrities we fell in love with over the years through their memorable and relatable characters.

What’s the gift for a man who has everything? Why, an actual waterfall, of course. That’s what Angelina Jolie bought for her longtime partner Brad Pitt, who celebrated his 48th birthday on December 18.

The rumors are true! Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are officially engaged.

Katy Perry should have listened to her ‘E.T.’ collaborator Kanye West when he sang, “Holla we want pre-nup” in his hit song ‘Gold Digger.’ The pop diva stands to lose nearly $31 million now that she and comedian hubby Russell Brand have filed for divorce.

No matter how rich and famous you are, sometimes you need your girlfriends to swoop in and save the day. That’s just what Rihanna is doing with her bestie Katy Perry. RiRi is reportedly planning to whisk her pal away to Mexico in the wake of her shocking split with husband Russell Brand.

Opposites attract — but they don’t often stay together. Case in point: Katy Perry and Russell Brand. Their split seemed to come about suddenly (there were hardly even rumors of trouble until December 2011), but it turns out the pair had problems from the get go.

New details are emerging about Katy Perry and Russell Brand’s sad split. While both camps initially denied any marital problems, rumors swirled since the divorce filing that Brand wasn’t getting along with Perry’s Christian parents. In addition, TMZ is reporting that Perry asked Brand to officially file for their divorce because she didn’t want to upset her infamously religious family.

The world of celebrity might not have the best track record to maintaining a long and happy marriage, but they all have to start somewhere. These are the 10 most famous nuptials that made the most headlines in 2011.

Ever since the news broke on Monday that reality star Kim Kardashian was ending her marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries only 72 days after the two swapped vows, Twitter’s been all abuzz with things longer than Kim’s marriage. But as brief as the union was, it wasn’t Hollywood’s shortest — not by a long shot...

So, has the shock of Kim Kardashian divorcing Kris Humphries after 72 days of wedded bliss worn off yet? Good thing the news broke on Halloween because we were so depressed, we needed to drown our sorrows in bucketfuls of fun size Milky Ways. Like many a divorcee, though, we will soldier on. Let’s start the healing process with 14 jokes about Kim and Kris’ marriage.

Emily Maynard, the fan favorite who won the heart of Brad Womack on ‘The Bachelor’ earlier this year, announced in July the pair were no longer together. But it seems she wasn’t alone for long.
