Elizabeth Taylor and Conrad "Nicky" Hilton
Elizabeth Taylor was no stranger to marriages and divorces (she had eight to her credit), but her first marriage was to hotel mogul (Paris and Nicky's grandfather) Conrad “Nicky” Hilton when Taylor was just 18 years. The couple had a lavish wedding, but the marriage only lasted 205 wedding days. In the divorce proceedings, Taylor claimed that Hilton had been verbally abusive, but she later told LIFE magazine that her idea of her wedded bliss had been "very naive."
Britney Spears and Jason Alexander
This record-breaking marriage came to an end just 55 hours after it was made official. After ringing in the new year in 2004, the pop singer went to Las Vegas and married her childhood friend Jason Alexander. Hours later, a judge dissolved her marriage and the rest is history. "It was me being silly, rebellious, and not really taking responsibility for what I was doing," the "Princess of Pop," said later. Alexander hinted on ABC News that Britney was cheating on Justin Timberlake with him, and also joked about whether they were high when they made that decision. "Alcohol is a drug. Coffee is a drug. A cigarette is a drug. Yes, we were high," he said then.

Nicolas Cage and Erika Koike
His marriage didn't officially end until a year had passed, but just nine days after he married actress Carmen Electra on November 14, 1998, Rodman filed for an annulment, claiming he was intoxicated when the vows for him were said. “Our relationship was very passionate. When it was good, it was amazing. And when it was bad, it was the worst, ”he said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2014.“ It happened very quickly, ”he continued. "It was so spontaneous, and I remember right after, 'Oh, God, what did we do?'"
Drew Barrymore and Jeremy Thomas
In 1994, the free-spirited 19-year-old actress married Jeremy Thomas, a 32-year-old Welshman, and Los Angeles bar owner, after six weeks of meeting him. Drew filed for divorce 39 days later. But he was not the only husband who did not last long. They were definitely an odd couple, so when Barrymore and actor Tom Green tied the knot in July 2001, no one really expected them to stand the test of time. That was what happened. 163 days later, at Christmas of the same year, they went their separate ways.
Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito
Cooper and the "Blue Bloods" star were married in December 2006 and filed for divorce in May. It was mutual according to Cooper. "It was something that happened," the actor said during an interview on Howard Stern's XM show. "The good thing is that we both realized it." However, his ex-wife doesn't have the best memories of her time with him. In his book, she defined him as someone "funny, intelligent, arrogant, and a master of manipulation." In addition, she revealed that she always felt very alone in the relationship and that, at the time of the breakup, Cooper acted "with the rudeness and insensitivity that she expected of him."
