ALL ALONG THE CELBRITY MARITAL TRAIL (….a lot of bucks get blown away…)

The Kardashian-Humphries marriage is over.

After only some seventy odd days of marital bliss, the bride has filed for divorce on the grounds of “irreconcilable differences”….a celebrity/Hollywood euphemism for….we ain’t in heat no more!

While not the shortest connubial co-habitation on record in those circles, it seems to have been one of the more expensive ones per day of marriage, reportedly some ten million bucks worth (for a specific number, do the math!). Frankly, if all they wanted to do is shack up, they could have booked a three months luxury cruise deal…for a fraction of that tab.

Okay, so cost was not really a concern….making a big self-promoting splash with a wedding extravaganza was. That’s the way it is all along the celebrity marital trail….where a lot of bucks get blown away….and in this instance some ten million of them. Such is the lifestyle of the “nouvean riche” and dubiously famous.

It’s a sad commentary on how so many of these seem to lose their sense of self-worth once they’ve managed to make it big financially and otherwise by a combination of sheer dumb luck, a smidge of “talent”, and an extreme fixation on self-promotion just to keep themselves in the public eye.

Some do it with bouts of outrageous public behavior, others by abusing of a variety of substances, indulging in musical bedmates, and/or conspicuous consumption of anything and everything in sight. Meanwhile, the tabloid rag sheets cover and classify all of that under the label of reporting about the “beautiful people”.

Well, maybe someone should have told that girl about basketball players whose major expertise, as we all know, is just dribbling….all over the floor.
