Why do so many celebrities get divorced?

It seems like every time we turn on the TV or read a magazine that a new celebrity couple is getting divorced. Why does this happen so often. Is it for publicity? Is it the pressure of being famous? Or is it a microcosm of a larger problem within the U.S.? I mean the U.S. does have a relatively high divorce rate as it is, right? Which do you think is higher, the celebrity divorce rate or that of America as a whole? Maybe we just don't here about the celebrity marriages that are successful...

I think part of the reason for the short marriage life span of celebrities is that they aren't able to live a normal life. Marriage is hard enough under normal circumstances, but if you have press following you every time you leave your house it has to be hard.

Good answer. I've thought about that sometimes. With people who have to travel a lot or work a lot marriage is always harder. Especially when couple have children. Marriage is a 100% commitment from both people not a 50-50 deal. When actors and actresses have to work so hard maintaining their own image in the press, they probably forget about their spouse. Thanks!

Don't want to wake up with on one beside me
Don't want to take up with nobody new
Don't want nobody coming by without calling first
Don't want nothing to do with you
I think as it has become easier to get divorce pepole now days are less inclined to adjust and give in.Simple tiffs become a major issue.We all are dreamig of the perfect partner to share life with and we keep forgetting that none of us are perfect.Marriage is all about adjustment and commitment.take either one out you lose.Marriage is hard work and its not easy to have a good life with one single person.
Celebrities enter marriage with pre-nupital agreements and though a good idea the distrust starts there only.why we do not have unconditional love and why we think in terms of money when it comes to support the other half whom we had loved once upon time .we forget to be human enough to be considerate at least never mind charitable.Somehow somewhere our idea of relationship has changed for both sexes and this is what is leading to high divorce rate.I sometimes feel do we need to look down upon divorced people to make them think before they start divorcing their spouses like what used to happen or is this better what is happening now.
