She finally got up the courage to say “Hasta la vista, baby” to Arnold and it doesn’t look like “he’ll be back.”

I guess we should call this month “Marriage-is-on-the-rocks-tober”.
Two of the worst stock market declines happened in October—in 1929 and 1987. Is the October curse spilling over to Hollywood? So far this month, four high profile celebrity splits have been announced: George Lopez and his wife, Ann; Mr. and Mrs. Christina Aguilera; Laura Dern and Ben Harper; and the latest, Courtney Cox & David Arquette.

Comedian George Lopez and Ann Lopez were married for 17 years and have a 15-year-old daughter. Ann gave George one of her kidneys back in 2005! Their split appears to be amicable and so far, no mudslinging has occurred.
Songbird Christina Aguilera and her husband, music exec Jordan Bratman, have been married for almost five years and have a 2-year-old son. According to TMZ, Christina is the one who cheated but thanks to a pre-nup, she’ll probably get away cheap.
Actress Laura Dern (“Blue Velvet” and “Jurassic Park”) and musician husband Ben Harper married in 2005 and have two children. Harper cited irreconcilable differences in the divorce papers which Dern was supposedly blindsided by.
Finally, there’s Courtney Cox and David Arquette. It looks like Courtney isn’t David’s favorite “Friend.” After 11 years of marriage and one adorable daughter, the couple has agreed to a trial separation. But now that Arquette has spoken very openly on Howard Stern’s radio show, it seems like the end is near. Arquette revealed that the couple hasn’t had sex in four months. He accused Courtney of having an “emotional affair” with her “Cougartown” co-star, Brian Van Holt and he admitted to an affair of his own.

The couple married four decades ago and have four grown children. Al was a U.S. Senator as well as Vice President under Bill Clinton. He came very close to defeating George W. Bush in the 2000 presidential election but a few hanging chads got in the way. Those chads weighed heavily on the election and in turn Al weighed heavy. Tipper has been his loving partner through it all but found time to place her mark on the music industry. Her efforts resulted in the requirement to place warning labels for explicit lyrics on albums and CDs.

Squeaky clean Tiger Woods is a bit dirty after all. Since surviving a minor car accident on his property Thanksgiving evening, as well as a close encounter with one of his golf clubs, Tiger Woods’ world has landed in the rough. To date, 12 women have come forward and claimed to have had an affair with the golf legend, including one with the text messages and voice mails to prove it! It wouldn’t be surprising if the number gets higher — Tiger is known for playing 18 holes!
Tiger’s beautiful wife, the Swedish model Elin Nordegren, has apparently decided she’s had enough. She’s moved out of their Florida home and has bought a mansion on a private island off the coast of Stockholm.

Some media outlets have reported that Tiger made some offers to re-up the pre-nup, in effect paying Elin $60 million to stay with him for another two years. But we need to strike while the 9-iron’s hot, so…who gets the coffin? Cast your vote and we’ll send a Wedding Ring Coffin to the winning spouse.

During his prison stay, Blake told Amy’s father that he had introduced Amy to crack and heroin and that he needed to “let her go to save her life.” Two months later, after seeing compromising photos of Winehouse with another man in St. Lucia, Fielder-Civil filed for divorce on grounds of adulterty.
