10 Celebrity with the Big & Best Shaped Backside

Researchers show that having a generous backside and thighs cuts levels of 'bad' cholesterol and raises levels of the 'good' cholesterol that protect against hardening of the arteries. It also cuts the risk of diabetes, it acting as a 'buffer', mopping up fats which could have dangerous effects elsewhere in the body. It may also make higher levels of hormones known to affect appetite and weight. Finally, it breaks down more slowly than belly fat, it also means it produces fewer chemicals called inflammatory cytokines which have been linked to heart disease, diabetes and obesity. It's feminine... to have a big backside chances are you have wide hips too and women who have hips carry pregnancies better and deliver easier. It's also attractive for the guys the hips, thighs and the backside.

10 Celebrities with an Early Divorce

1.) Britney Spears and Jason Alexander
Married for 55 Hours

Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is an American singer and entertainer. Born in Mississippi and raised in Louisiana.
There was media frenzy when the story broke that she had married her childhood friend in a Las Vegas wedding chapel in January 2004. Britney called it a mistake and the annulment was quick. In the years following her ascent to pop superstar, Spears's personal life has been a frequent subject of celebrity and tabloid journalism. Spears was married twice, most notably to Kevin Federline,and was the subject of a reality TV show with Federline in Britney & Kevin: Chaotic.Following a three-month romance, she married back up dancer Kevin Federline in September 2004. They had two sons together and divorced with a fierce custody battle to follow. Her previous relationships included Justin Timberlake and Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit.

2.) Dennis Hopper and Michelle Phillips

Married for 8 Days

Although Michelle Phillips has said less flattering things about Dennis too, it must have been one helluva week.
A marriage that doesn’t last as long as a tub of yogurt but brings such joy is a wondrous thing to behold. Michelle, member of the sweetly harmonious Mamas and the Papas, turned actress, married Dennis in 1970, having met him on the set of her first film,
The Last Movie, in which Dennis starred and directed. Michelle and Dennis have 10 marriages between them and each of them is currently married.


3.) Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman

Married for 9 Days

Maybe Dennis’s ability to slam-dunk was the attraction. Carmen, former Playboy model and Baywatch star, is many men’s fantasy. Her first marriage was to Dennis the Menace, the flamboyant basketball legend, in 1998 in Las Vegas.
They were reputedly drunk at the time and the marriage was invalidated. Carmen’s second marriage was to rock star, Dave Navarro in 2003, ending in divorce in 2007. She has also had relationships with Prince, rap singer, B-Real and Tommy Lee.
Dennis had one marriage behind him prior to hooking up with Carmen and he re-married in 2003, his wife claiming acts of domestic abuse. He also had a much-publicized romance with Madonna.


3.) Robert Evans and Catherine Oxenberg

Married for 9 days

Some manage six months, others a year.
Robert Evans and Catherine Oxenberg’s marriage lasted 9 days
before it was annulled.
Word is that young Catherine thought she was marrying older producer Robert
as a mere companion,
whereas randy Robert wanted a full-blown sexual relationship.




4.) Drew Barrymore and Jeremy Thomas

Married for 6 Weeks

Let’s hope Drew didn’t tattoo Jeremy on her arm. This was Drew’s first marriage when she tied the knot with Welsh bar owner, Jeremy Thomas in 1994.
Wedding bells had sounded when she was just 16 years old but the engagement was broken off. Another engagement was canceled when she split from musician/actor Jamie Walters.
A second marriage, to comedian Tom Green, lasted for 15 months.
She was also in a 5-year relationship with The Stroke’s drummer, Fabrizio Moretti and has dated actor, Justin Long. Her days as a child actress and troubled teenager with addictions are well documented and Drew went on to have a successful career as an actress in adult roles and as a producer. A permanent love match is proving more elusive.


5.) Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley

Married for 4 Months

Nicolas Cage is a huge Elvis fan and took inspiration from him for his character, Sailor Ripley in Wild at Heart. He collects memorabilia of the King but this was a collector’s item gone too far. At least he could comfort himself with work…(no, really).
They married in Hawaii in 2002 in a hush hush ceremony. Lisa Marie’s first marriage lasted six years but her marriage to Michael Jackson in 1994 ended in divorce after 19 months.
She has married for a fourth time, to her guitarist and producer.
Lisa Marie was Cage’s second wife, following his first to actress, Patricia Arquette. His current wife is a former waitress and they have a son together, named Kal-El, in tribute to Superman’s birth name.
He certainly won’t get teased. Children are known for their kindness.


6.) Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney

Married for 4 Months

How about the country music singer guy? Following romances with Jim Carrey and Jack White of the White Stripes, Renee married Kenny after they had known each other for 5 months.
The Caribbean island of St. John was the idyllic setting in May 2005. An annulment was finalized at the end of the year.
Kenny expresses the pain of lost love in songs, such as Better As a Memory.
The paparazzi continue to take an interest in Renee’s love life.
There were rumors of dates with Sir Paul McCartney. It’s all far removed from the life of Bridget Jones.


7.) Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock

Married for 5 Months

What does she mean by consume?
Like a praying mantis?
The Baywatch star likes whirlwind romances.
She runs in slow motion but she gallops up the aisle.
She married first husband, Tommy Lee from Motley Crue, after they had known each other for 96 hours.
That marriage lasted three years and produced two sons. Musician Kid Rock became husband number two in 2006. This was the shortest one, narrowly beating the 6-month marriage between Pammy and poker playing Rick Salomon, which was annulled in 2008.
There was bad blood between Tommy and the Kid, coming to a head in 2007 when
Kid Rock assaulted Tommy at the MTV Video Music Awards.


8.) Jennifer Lopez and Cris Judd

Married for 7 Months

Dancer and choreographer Cris Judd met J-Lo when he directed her music video to promote Love Don’t Cost a Thing (that’s only true if you sign a pre-nup), and they married in 2001.
Her first marriage, to Cuban chef Ojani Noa, had lasted for 11 months. Jennifer also had a relationship with controversial hip hop star, Sean Combs.
The split from Judd occurred when Jennifer began a public liaison with Ben Affleck. The so-called Bennifer wedding was called off a few hours before the ceremony, with both stars citing media intrusion as the cause.
Jennifer went on to marry singer, Marc Anthony, in 2004 and they are the parents of twins. As a reaction to past events, the couple married in secret and they are private about their relationship. Rumors of an impending divorce have been circulating but the couple denies this.


9.) Charlie Sheen and Donna Peele

Married for 14 Months

So, the first marriage to Donna Peele, by Charlie’s reckoning, was the ‘show one’, whatever that means. Sheen’s private life used to get more attention than his movie career due to drug problems and liaisons with porn actresses and call girls, notably Hollywood madam, Heidi Fleiss. He claimed that he had slept with 5,000 women. Despite all this activity, he found time to marry on three occasions. There was also an engagement to actress, Kelly Preston, but they split after he accidentally shot her in the arm. Charlie’s second marriage, to actress Denise Richards, lasted four years and produced two daughters. His current marriage is to real estate investor, Brooke Mueller and they have twins. Charlie seems to have got his act together, personally and professionally, and has announced that he has become a Born-Again Christian.


10.) Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett

Married for 21 Months

Julia was used to journalists linking her to several actors; some of the stories were even true! She canceled her planned wedding to Kiefer Sutherland with three days to go. Marriage to country star, Lyle Lovett, went ahead following a three-week affair and a romantic elopement in 1993.
Their divorce was of the amicable kind and they state that they have remained friends. Country singers need a bit of heartbreak for their songs, after all. Julia is currently married to Daniel Moder, a cameraman she met on the set of The Mexican, and they have three children.
