Celebrities are always getting married and divorced, but I want to know what is the longest celebrity marriage, and what is the shortest?

I should think Britney Spears' recent 55 hours must be one candidate for the shortest. Apr 07 05, 6:32 PM

Almost certainly. But my father-in-law suggested Bob Hope's marriage as the longest. He couldn't remember exactly how long that union had lasted, and I had no idea. Perhaps someone else can say? Apr 07 05, 6:47 PM

With so many Hollywood marriages ending in divorce, here are some couples that are still together, or stayed together until either one of them died; the way God intends it to be. I'll try my best to say how long they stayed married. 1. Lucille Ball and Gary Morton-27 years until her death in 1999. She married him a year after she and Desi Arnaz got divorced after 20 years of marriage. 2. Bob and Dolores Hope-59 years until his death in 2003. 3. Allen Ludden and Betty White-18 years until his death in 1981. His first wife and the mother of his children, Margaret, died of cancer in 1961. She was married and divorced twice before, which I never knew. 4. Jimmy and Gloria Stewart-44 years until her death in 1994. He passed away in 1997. 5. Zsa Zsa Gabor and Prince Frederick von Anhalt-21 years. This is her ninth marriage and I can't believe that they're still married. All of her other marriages ended in divorce; one of them was annulled. 6. Charlton and Lydia Heston-over 60 years. 7. Larry and Maj Hagman. 8. Paula Prentiss and Richard Benjamin-married 46 years. 9. Lawrence and Fern Welk-married until his death in 1992. 10. Kirk and Anne Douglas. 11. Anne Bancroft and Mel Brooks-married 41 years until her death in 2005. 12. Dick Cavett and Carrie Nye-married over 45 years. 13. Dick and Kari Clark-married 30 years. She's his third wife. His other two marriages both ended in divorce. 14. Suzanne Somers and Alan Hamel-30 years. 15. Mickey Rooney and Jan Chamberlain-29 years. She's his eighth wife. All of his other marriages ended in divorce. His fifth wife, Barbara, was murdered by her Yugoslavian lover back in 1966.

So far the shortest was Britney Spears' and the longest was Bob Hope's, at 55 hours and 69 years, respectively. http://thelongestlistofthelongeststuffatthelongestdomainnameatlonglast.com/long235.html Jan 10 09, 1:10 PM

Here are two more short ones: Svetozar Marinkovic and Robin Givens, end their marriage on the same day of their wedding. Second example is of an American actress who was Hungarian- born name Zsa Zsa Gabor and her husband name Felipe De Alba who was a well known attorney as well as popular actor had breakup in 1983. Their relationship ended in a day but they got separation on different dates. Marriage of both of them existed from 13-April-1983 to 14-April-1983. http://www.ayushveda.com/magazine/worlds-shortest-marriages/ http://www.vh1.com/shows/dyn/vh1_all_access/64609/episode_about.jhtml Jan 10 09, 4:40 PM

Robin Givens, huh? Boy, that name sure rings a bell...remember her divorce from Mike Tyson? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Givens That one beats Britney Spears'. Not sure we can count Zsa-Zsa's, though, since it was an illegal marriage. Count Felipe de Alba: Born on April 29, 1924 in Mexico. Felipe and Zsa Zsa were married on April 13, 1983 near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Felipe and Zsa Zsa had their marriage annulled on April 14, 1983 because their marriage at sea was not in international waters and she was not yet divorced from Michael O'Hara. http://marriage.about.com/od/entertainmen1/a/zsazsagabor_2.htm I read years ago about some Christian couple who got married and divorced several, or many, times, in one day in Las Vegas in an effort to get the rules there tightened up. They weren't celebrities, though, and unsuccessful with their project. Where's your newspaper, Zb? Don't fall in! Jan 10 09, 7:08 PM

How much were the 'celebrities' paid for going on "I'm a Celebrity"? "For a new marriage I did make Carouse, Divorced old barren Reason from my Bed, And took (what) to Spouse." Which words correctly fill in the phrase? In season 6 of "Charmed" are Piper and Leo still married or are they divorced? Who is this celebrity male who wears glasses (maybe sunglasses), he is also married, with brown hair, travels the world, loves art, always has something in the works, and has a documentry about his life?
