The majority of Hollywood celebrities differentiate with their artistic talent,
though
at the same time they are known for their extreme instability in personal life.
The tabloids persistently watch
the private life of stars, their affairs, marriages followed by divorces, and the
details of their privacy and disreputable divorce proceedings entertain the
public no less than their artistic performance.
The actor Billy Bob Thornton is the real record
breaker in the divorce proceedings. This handsome and brutal actor who
is 54
years old had five divorce proceedings in total, and the suit of his
divorce
with Angelina Jolie in 2003 made Thornton
an object of various tabloids and paparazzi for many years. The other
marriages the actor entered into were not so far outstanding.
His first marriage came to the
time when he just graduated from the college, and further he preferred
women to
marry who were not distinguishing in show-biz and in Hollywood like
Angelina Jolie
women and who were not acknowledged as a sex symbol.
Eventually Billy Bob Thornton came with
the official announcement that the marriage is not his path, after he was
married five times with four children and now the actor feels at ease to
mention in every interview that he will never marry again.
Lisa Marie
Presley, the singer and a daughter to a legendary Elvis Presley, got married
four times in her life. Her first spouse was the musician, Danny Keogh who
married to Lisa when she was only 20. And the first marriage of Lisa Presley
turned out to be the longest, and she lived with Denny for the whole six years.
They still keep friendly relations between each other. The other marriages of the singer were far less
successful. In 20 days after she divorced with Denny Lisa Presley married to
Michael Jackson with whom she stayed for two years. The marriage was broken with
her impetuous affair with Nicolas Cage that resulted in that they married in
2002. Nicolas Cage, who is the great
follower of legendary Elvis Presley, lived only 108 days with his daughter and
then he claimed for divorce. And eventually, recently Lisa Presley is in love
and she again married to her fourth in number husband, the guitarist and the
music producer Michael Lockwood.
Legendary Frank
Sinatra experienced three divorces and four marriages. After he lived with
Nancy Sinatra, his first wife, for 12 years, he left her in favor of the
actress Ava Gardner, another record setter in the divorce suits. Ava Gardner
was like a triggering point to divorces with Sinatra. When Sinatra divorced with
Gardner, 50-year
old Frank married to a 21-year old actress, Mia Farrow. The marriage that
lasted for two years ended in the next scandal when Mia Farrow refused to
feature in the movie of her spouse and angry Sinatra delivered to her papers on
divorce proceedings just at to the shooting site. Eight years later the musician
married to Barbara Marx with whom he lived to the rest of his life.
Well, the
marital life of Lisa Minnelli is not that to be called as happy and favorable. This
beautiful and charming actress with wonderful voice suffered four divorce
suits, and every other one was even more scandalous that the previous. Lisa
Minelli first married to Peter Allen and lived with him for seven years since 1967
to 1974 until she learned that he is gay. After the divorce Lisa Minelli married
to the director Jack Haley to live five years and changed him for the sculptor
Mark Gero who was happy enough to stay next to her for 13 years. The last marriage
Lisa entered into turned out to be the most outrageous: in spite of the solemn
ceremony of the marriage event when Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson
participated as a bridesmaid and a groom mate, Lisa Minelli and the concert
promoter David Gest divorced 16 months later only. Soon after Lisa's ex-husband brought an action
against Minelli accusing her of alcoholism and violence against him though the
court did not satisfy the suit due to lack of evidences.
Elizabeth Taylor who appeared as the
bridesmaid at the wedding of Lisa Minelli repeated the fate of her colleague at
the stage. In total Taylor
married eight times out of them she had seven divorce proceedings. The public
including all tabloids and paparazzi watched the twists and turns of her life
with the same great interest as her artistic performance. Elizabeth Taylor married to Conrad
Hilton when she was an 18-year old young girl and lived a year only with him.
Then she made happy an English actor Michael Wilding who was killed in the car
crash in a week after they divorced. After
the death of her third spouse, Elizabeth
married to Eddy Fisher, his best friend. Later on she tied her life with Richard Burton,
with whom Elizabeth Taylor tried to divorce a couple of times, followed by a republican
politicianс John
Warner. The last man who happily married to Lisa Minelli was Larry Fortensky.
The diva was introduced to him at the rancho of Michael Jackson and the
consequent marriage existed for only five years.
The record that
Elizabeth Taylor put was taken by the famous American TV reporter and the
anchorman of various talk-shows, Larry King. As well as Elizabeth Taylor, Larry
King married eight times and divorced seven times. Larry King marriages may be
more in number if the cases when he was engaged, were considered. The present wife
to Larry King, Shawn Southwick, he married to in 2007, announced proudly that
she is the only woman who stayed by Larry King for so long. Well, we can only
congratulate her on this achievement.
