Whitney Houston filed for divorce from Bobby Brown after 14 years of marriage. After all of the arrests, all the "crack is wack" jokes, after her sister-in-law took photos of her bathroom, and after all the bad pictures taken at gas stations at 4am, this couple has been forced to call it quits. But what the heck happened? I guess that's what Outkast calls "Hollywood Divorce."Who watched Being Bobby Brown? Did you think that their problems showed through in the show? Or were Bobby and Whitney different than you would've expected? Or did you watch just to hear her say "Hell to the Naw" one more time?
The show was definitely a work of art, and I'm glad it did so well. I do think that there is a CURSE to these married couple reality TV shows. Nick & Jessica, Travis Barker & Shanna, Dave Navarro & Carmen Electra, etc. What about couples that just show up in videos together period?! Usher and Chilli, Mary J. Blige & K-Ci...who am I forgetting? Mack 10 and T-Boz...the list goes on and on.
What's crazy is that the same mechanism that makes them famous also tears them apart. The craze and celebrity-making nature of the papparazzi. Who can have a relationship when there are cameras following you EVERYWHERE?!
What about you? Think any relationship in Hollywood has a shot in hell with all of the papparazzi, tabloids, and public records available at will? Or are all Hollywood couples headed for divorce? I don't know if I could handle my every move being under a microscope.
Some of life's greatest pleasures are the things you get to keep to yourself. ;-)
