Tabloid magazines have destroyed the myth of the happily ever after in Hollywood. Week after week, we are bombarded with stories about even the happiest-seeming of celebrity couples on the verge of a break-up. And while some of the gossip proves true, we still can’t help but wish for a happy ending for a few of Hollywood’s former golden couples.

Newlyweds turned Jessica and Nick into mega-stars overnight, but it eventually tore them apart as Jessica’s star rose higher and higher and Nick’s didn’t.
