Top 10 Ugliest Breakups of 2006

Kitty Raymond


10. Sheryl Crow & Lance Armstrong: Granted, Lance didn't plan it this way, but the timing was still pretty lousy. The famous cancer survivor broke off his engagement with rocker Sheryl shortly before her own diagnosis with breast cancer. While Lance pledged his support, the crisis failed to bring the couple back together. Sheryl recovered with treatment but confessed months later she was still brokenhearted.


9. Reese Witherspoon & Ryan Phillippe: Hollywood's golden couple seemed so perfect together. But as soon as they announced their separation, Ryan was reported to have had a dalliance during filming with Aussie actress Abbie Cornish — among other on-set hotties.

8. Kate Hudson & Chris Robinson: No sooner had the boho couple split than Kate was widely reported to have fallen head over heels for her "You, Me and Dupree" co-star Owen Wilson. Not to be outdone, Black Crowes rocker Chris wasted no time finding a new babe.

7. Richie Sambora & Heather Locklear: Their marriage of 10 years, an eternity by Hollywood standards, seemed rock solid. But shortly after they announced its demise, Richie moved on — to Denise Richards, a close pal whom Heather had just supported through her split with Charlie Sheen. With friends like these…

6. Pamela Anderson & Kid Rock: OK, so it wasn't exactly the shock of the century when impetuous on-off couple Pam and Kid called it quits after four months of wedded bliss. But it was an unexpected low blow for Kid to accuse devoted parent Pam of partying and neglecting their collective three sons during the marriage. And his wild night in Vegas wearing a "Bro's Before Ho's" shirt didn't exactly show a lot of respect for the relationship.

5. Britney Spears & Kevin Federline: The night after their divorce was announced, K-Fed exhibited his trademark charm and sophistication by declaring at his sparsely attended concert, "You know I'm a free man, right, ladies? You wanna dance with a pimp?" Soon rumors surfaced that he was hooking up with a porn star during the last month of their marriage. Brit, what took you so long?

4. Eddie Murphy & Melanie Brown: The pregnant artist formerly known as Scary Spice found out she'd been dumped when friends texted her that her boyfriend arrived at the "Dreamgirls" movie premiere with Babyface ex Tracy Edmonds on his arm. Ouch! Now caddish Eddie is demanding a paternity test to prove the baby's his.

3. Paul McCartney & Heather Mills: Now we ain't saying she's a gold digger, but … accusing the beloved ex-Beatle of excessive drinking and verbal abuse as she vies for a massive chunk of his fortune has made former erotic model Heather hated in the U.K. And no one seemed to buy her heartstring-tugging claims that insensitive Sir Paul forced her to crawl to the bathroom without her prosthetic leg; model Kate Moss noted she had once seen Heather without the leg "jumping around like a [expletive deleted] gazelle."

2. Travis Barker & Shanna Moakler: It seems like just yesterday they were a happy punk family on "Meet the Barkers." But when Travis and Shanna split, the gloves came off – literally. Shanna got into a catfight with Travis' new squeeze Paris Hilton and ended up punching her in the face, then celebrated her single status with a divorce party. Classy!

1. Denise Richards & Charlie Sheen: After her horrifying allegations that Charlie verbally and physically abused her in front of her two young daughters, we were all set to don Team Denise shirts. Then she took up with BFF Heather

Locklear's ex Richie Sambora, and suddenly we weren't so sure about her victim story.

You know, it tickles me that there are people--mostly media types---who think the world revolves around "celebrities".

Other than Crow and Armstrong, I really don't know, or care to know, who those people are.
 
Don't bother me what they do, I talked to my g/f on the phone today but you don't see a report from the AP on that....
 
I believe a good AMEN is needed at the end of this speech.

Subject: Ben Stein - Christmas



If they know of him at all, many folks think Ben Stein is just a quirky
actor/comedian who talks in a monotone. He's also a very intelligent
attorney who knows how to put ideas and words together in such a way as
to sway juries and make people think clearly.

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday
Morning Commentary, Sunday,

12/18/05.

Herewith at this happy time of year, a few confessions from my beating
heart: I have no clue who Nick and Jessica are. I see them on the cover
of People and Us constantly when I am buying my dog biscuits and kitty
litter. I often ask the checkers at the grocery stores. They never know
who Nick and Jessica are either. Who are they? Will it change my life if
I know who they are and why they have broken up? Why are they so
important?

I don't know who Lindsay Lohan is either, and I do not care at all about
Tom Cruise's wife.

Am I going to be called before a Senate committee and asked if I am a
subversive? Maybe, but I just have no clue who Nick and Jessica are.

If this is what it means to be no longer young, it's not so bad.

Next confession:
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does
not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up,
bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel
discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees.

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I
don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a
ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers
and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at
all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near
my beach house in Malibu . If people want a creche, it's just as fine
with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think
Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think
people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around,
period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an
explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution, and I
don't like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we
should worship Nick and Jessica and we aren't allowed to worship God as
we understand Him?

I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too.

But there are a lot of us who are wondering where Nick and Jessica came
from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a
little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny,
it's intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane
Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this Happen?"
(regarding Katrina)

Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She
said, "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for
years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of
our government and to get out of our lives.


And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How
can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we
demand He leave us alone?"

In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I
think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered)
complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.

Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school . The Bible
says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor
as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they
misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we
might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We
said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK.

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they
don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill
strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it
out. I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the
world's going to hell.

Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the
Bible says.

Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like
wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people
think twice about sharing.

Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through
cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and
workplace.

Are you laughing?

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on
your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what
they will think of you for sending it. (Wrong! I'm sending to everyone
on my list)

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us
than what God thinks of us.

Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no
one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't
sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.
