In my opinion, the better explanation of so many divorces among Hollywood stars is the superficiality of their unions, breaking even within few months, nearly as these unions were organized for the interests and profits of the mass-media.
They met at parties or on the set, or on holidays and, after few time, they get married with memorable and glamorous ceremonies.

Later (some months or years, it depends), while living together, they realize that their habits, personality and rhythms of life and work are incompatible; reciprocal infidelity and the consequent jealousy are frequent, always for the superficiality of their relation and these "comedies" make the fortune of gossip magazines besides the same divorce.

Let's consider a classic example: Elizabeth "Liz" Taylor, the famous English actress, considered for many years one of the most beautiful women of the world.
Now, she is 77 years old and, so far (2009), she has already had 8 marriages with 7 men, given that she married twice the same, Richard Burton, who was the most involving and important for her.

I' m not a psychologist and, in any case, I can't give a moral judgement; divorce was absolutely necessary if the couple didn't work anymore, but just this is the problem.
Liz Taylor seems constantly unable to choose the best partner for her, overwhelmed by the initial passion that sooner or later faded away and, maybe by her role of "diva".
Today, she is old and I think her greatest problem, despite her enormous popularity and richness is loneliness. Everybody have celebrated her, but nobody could love her for more than few years.

Another cause of VIPs' divorces is the frequency of alcohol and drugs abuse by many stars.
Many cases of familiar violence are reported in the history of Hollywood stars and of those in the rest of the world and drugs abuse, simply enhances the violent and worst sides of the personality of the husband, when he exerts violence on his VIP wife, or the depressive
