5. Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley
Married for 4 Months

Lisa Marie Quote: “Look at the amounts Ben Affleck has lavished on J-Lo. When Nick opens his wallet, moths fly out”.
Nicolas Cage is a huge Elvis fan and took inspiration from him for his character, Sailor Ripley in Wild at Heart. He collects memorabilia of the King but this was a collector’s item gone too far. At least he could comfort himself with work…(no, really). They married in Hawaii in 2002 in a hush hush ceremony. Lisa Marie’s first marriage lasted six years but her marriage to Michael Jackson in 1994 ended in divorce after 19 months. She has married for a fourth time, to her guitarist and producer. Lisa Marie was Cage’s second wife, following his first to actress, Patricia Arquette. His current wife is a former waitress and they have a son together, named Kal-El, in tribute to Superman’s birth name. He certainly won’t get teased. Children are known for their kindness.
4. Drew Barrymore and Jeremy Thomas
Married for 6 Weeks


Drew Quote: “Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage”.
Let’s hope Drew didn’t tattoo Jeremy on her arm. This was Drew’s first marriage when she tied the knot with Welsh bar owner, Jeremy Thomas in 1994. Wedding bells had sounded when she was just 16 years old but the engagement was broken off. Another engagement was canceled when she split from musician/actor Jamie Walters. A second marriage, to comedian Tom Green, lasted for 15 months. She was also in a 5-year relationship with The Stroke’s drummer, Fabrizio Moretti and has dated actor, Justin Long. Her days as a child actress and troubled teenager with addictions are well documented and Drew went on to have a successful career as an actress in adult roles and as a producer. A permanent love match is proving more elusive.
3. Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman
Married for 9 Days

Carmen Quote: “I’m more attracted to a stronger man rather than a feminine man. Someone who would just throw me down and take control”.
Maybe Dennis’s ability to slam-dunk was the attraction. Carmen, former Playboy model and Baywatch star, is many men’s fantasy. Her first marriage was to Dennis the Menace, the flamboyant basketball legend, in 1998 in Las Vegas. They were reputedly drunk at the time and the marriage was invalidated. Carmen’s second marriage was to rock star, Dave Navarro in 2003, ending in divorce in 2007. She has also had relationships with Prince, rap singer, B-Real and Tommy Lee. Dennis had one marriage behind him prior to hooking up with Carmen and he re-married in 2003, his wife claiming acts of domestic abuse.  He also had a much-publicized romance with Madonna.
2. Dennis Hopper and Michelle Phillips
Married for 8 Days

Michelle Quote: “I will say this about Dennis Hopper. We were married for eight days and truly…they were the happiest days of my life”.
Although Michelle Phillips has said less flattering things about Dennis too, it must have been one helluva week. A marriage that doesn’t last as long as a tub of yogurt but brings such joy is a wondrous thing to behold.  Michelle, member of the sweetly harmonious Mamas and the Papas, turned actress, married Dennis in 1970, having met him on the set of her first film, The Last Movie, in which Dennis starred and directed. Michelle and Dennis have 10 marriages between them and each of them is currently married.
1. Britney Spears and Jason Alexander
Married for 55 Hours

Britney Quote: “With love, you should go ahead and take the risk of getting hurt because love is an amazing feeling”.
There’s a short-lived marriage and there’s taking the piss. Britney’s troubles have been well documented in tabloid stories of bizarre behavior and addiction. There was media frenzy when the story broke that she had married her childhood friend in a Las Vegas wedding chapel in January 2004. Britney called it a mistake and the annulment was quick. Her previous relationships included Justin Timberlake and Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit. Following a three-month romance, she married back up dancer Kevin Federline in September 2004. They had two sons together and divorced with a fierce custody battle to follow. Britney has been in show business since she was ten years old and is followed everywhere by the paparazzi. Despite her problems, she has made a professional comeback and the custody dispute has been settled.
