Who the Kim Kardashian?' exclaimed Elton John in an interview with The Word magazine. 'Some stupid old tart from somewhere. Reality has killed talent.'
Well, that's the pop icon's opinion and Kim's not just that alone anymore. Her list of claim-to-fame gets a brand new addition - a marriage that lasted only 72 days after a hugely publicised wedding whose rights made her a lot of money, and gifts worth $172,000.
Few celebrities have bested her short stint in holy matrimony. Here's look at them and those who stuck to it a tad longer.
One can say that the flack directed at KimK is unfair when hers has lasted much longer than Britney Spears' infamous marriage of 55 hours to her childhood friend. But then, the Princess of Pop didn't orchestrate a star-studded wedding, build drama to its run-up, rave about how it was like a fairy tale, and in a matter of two months call it quits.
This was doomed from the start. Bad boy Dennis Rodman and glamour girl Carmen Electra were never meant to be and realized it in nine days.
Also, their union should have served as an example to KimK. The height disparity between Rodman & Electra is quite similar to what Kim shares with soon-to-be-ex, Kris Humphries.
The late Dennis Hopper waltzed out of four marriages of which the shortest one of nine days, was to Michelle Phillips. In fact, he died before he could divorce his fifth wife, Victoria Duffy.
Beauty Queen Ali Landry dated the suave Mario Lopez longer than the two were married. He emceed the Miss Teen USA 1998 pageant she participated in. And then in 2003, they were engaged. A year later, they were divorced in two weeks! What a waste!
Drew Barrymore has always had a passing relationship with romance and love. In 1994 she was married to Welsh bartender Jeremy Thomas for 19 days. In 2001, she followed it up with another wedding that lasted slightly longer. This time it was comedian Tom Green, who got the premature boot at six weeks.
Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson is known for a number of things. And some of those are her trips down the aisle. The shortest one was to womaniser Rick Salomon. In just 70 days, she cited fraud, and got it over with. Prior to this was her marriage to Kid Rock that couldn't muster past the four-month mark.
It's sad to see celebrities who have dated a long time, fall apart quickly after they say 'I do.' One such instance was Helen Hunt's marriage to Hank Azaria. The two dated for five years and called it quits in 108 days after the wedding.
Lisa Marie Presley's dalliances with marriage could fill an entire book. Her most publicised marriage was to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. The whole world was shocked that it even lasted a year and eight months.
The next one was to Nicolas Cage that fizzled out in 121 days.
Renee Zellweger & Kenny Chesney's was the lamest celebrity marriage to fall apart within a year. After a whirlwind romance, the actress wed the country singer. The minute you looked at them, you could tell that they had no chemistry. And after 121 days of marital bliss, she cited 'fraud' in the divorce papers.
