Vegas strikes again! Playboy model and TV personality Carmen Electra, and NBA star Dennis Rodman were married in November 1998 in Las Vegas. Weeks later they split up and filed for divorce eventually in early 1999.
Another case of 9-day marriage. Back in July 1975, Cher and rock star Allman tied the knot. If you remember, Cher had just ended her marriage with Sonny Bono a few days earlier. Cher filed for another divorce nine days later, reporting that she found Gree had drug issues and it was too much for her. Didn’t she know it before saying “I do?”
Baby-faced Saved by the Bell star Mario Lopez married model Ali Landry in April 2004, but the marriage ended before the honeymoon could even begin. Their marriage ended after only two weeks when Landry found that Lopez had been unfaithful throughout their 6-year relationship.
In 1999, the then-child star Barrymore married bartender Jeremy for just six weeks. Drew’s second marriage didn’t last long either. In July 2001, Drew Barrymore married Tom Green.

I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned.”
Like her sister Britney, the younger Hilton thought an impromptu Las Vegas (naturally) union to her longtime pal Todd Andrew Meister might spell happily-ever-after for her. However, history repeated itself: Their August 2005 the nups led to an annulment, three months later.
You may remember the marriage of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s daughter to the King of Pop (Michael Jackson), which last only 20 months.

The couple got hitched in July 2006 after years of on and off dating and finally decided to tie the knot.

Their whirlwind marriage ended in November 2006, when the couple literally raced each other to the courthouse to file divorce papers.
When the actress Renee and country crooner Kenny suddenly got hitched, most people’s response was “huh?” The couple married in May 2005 on the Caribbean’s Virgin Island, but the actress had it annulled four months later, citing the marriage as a “fraud”.

However, their marriage came crashing down 218 days later.
