* Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman – 5 months, November 1998 – March 1999 [Rodman claims he doesn't even remember most of it because he got married while intoxicated in Las Vegas. He sought an annulment 9 days later]
* Britney Spears and Jason Alexander. Length of marriage: 55 hours. [After a public breakup with Pop Charming, 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake, Spears' first highly public mishap was her 2004 marriage to childhood friend Jason. Time magazine says both claimed the spirit of 'Sin City', Las Vegas, led them to the aisle of the Little White Wedding Chapel, but darker versions of an ecstasy-fuelled bender trickled out no matter how much Spears' family or record label attempted to laugh the "incident" off. The marriage was annulled]
