Wayne Brady & Mandie Taketa: Nine Years
Cheesy singer/game-show host/comedian Wayne Brady and his wife of nine years Mandie Taketa split in April 2008 after a long separation. The official reason for the divorce was "irreconcilable differences," but Mandie was probably just tired of him spontaneously breaking into song.

Tracy Morgan & Sabina Morgan: 22 Years
In 2007, Sabina Morgan threatened to divorce her well-known husband, Tracy, who spent a good part of that year with a court-ordered alcohol-monitoring bracelet around his ankle. She didn't go through with it until January of 2008. She cited the '30 Rock' star's drinking problem as her reason. Do you blame her?

Swizz Beatz & Mashonda: Four Years
Producer Swizz Beatz and singer Mashonda's separation last year seemed like ordinary marital discord, but the situation turned scandalous when rumors surfaced that Alicia Keys might be to blame.

Star Jones & Al Reynolds: Four Years
They said it wouldn't last... and they were right.

What's Al Reynolds to do now that he's no longer Mr. Star Jones?
