Didn't we almost have it all...
It may have been a year of love and royal weddings, but for some 2011 brought heartbreak and loss and despair. So let’s take a look at the five splits that stung the worst this year as we resolve to be more loving in 2012.
- Sinead O’Connor & That Dude — It was only 16 days into her marriage that Sinead called it off with her new man, whose name is definitely not worth remembering at this point. The culprit? Crack cocaine it seems. Apparently Sinead went off in search of weed after her nuptials and wound up with some of the rock in her hand, much to the chagrin of her new husband. Crack is not just whack, for some it seems it is a deal breaker.
- REM — How could you do this to us guys? Sure your music has gotten progressively worse since the nineties but we need you. You were our everything. When Angela Chase caught her father kissing another woman and we didn’t know how to feel about it “Everybody Hurts” made us realize we should be sad. Very, very sad. Thanks for the memories.
- Connie Britton & Friday Night Lights — What happened to my sweet and uplifting Tami Taylor? She is now on my TV every week eating brains and swearing and being committed to psychiatric wards. I mean, I like her new frenemies Jessica Lange and Frances Conroy, but this is not the hardworking principal/guidance counselor I once knew. And now she is SPOILER dead and trapped in that miserable old house forever. Coach was right, you should have never left Dillon.
- Bradley Cooper & Renee Zellweger, Bradley Cooper & Jennifer Lopez, Bradley Cooper & Melanie Laurent — Hey, at least he’s got Zoe Saldana to keep him company now.
- Tyler & Nolan — Sure they were never REALLY together but all that amazing chemistry has gone to waste now that the two are at war. Oh and Tyler has become a gun-toting crazy person. Give us back our sexually confused lovers Revenge, give us them back!
