They’ll announce their divorce in the early half of 2012. ---

Should we have this over in the Game Room? I’d seriously consider entering if we are gonna track the winners. ---

10 months. August 2011 it’ll end in drama. Or they’ll be the next Paul Newman / Joanne Woodward marriage for the next 50 years. Weirder things have happened! ---

Somebody wants to be tied legally and publicly to Russell Brand? Weird. ---

11 months – September 2011, after a summer that fills the gossip columns. ---

Perry is young, smitten with an older man, and for all that she’s broken away from a super-nutty fundie family probably would have some guilt-caused delay over asking for a divorce. I’ll say September 16, 2013. ---

Despite periodic reports of infidelity on the part of both parties, the union will last a couple of years. She’ll remarry before he does. If I have to specify a divorce date, I’ll go with August 30 (my birthday), 2012. ---

I’m going with seven months. Something about that guy I just don’t like. I’ll bet she’ll figure out what that is by then. ---

> [@D\_Odds](#): > > They’re still married? I would have said yesterday. Yeah, seriously… was he wearing a white flouncy dress? For some reason I can totally picture him wearing an even whiter, even flouncier dress than his bride. With silver embroidery, but of course his hair still looking like a rat’s nest. ---

No one who has already posted will still be a member of the SDMB if and when they divorce. They’ll go on for years. ---

He’ll cheat, she’ll forgive him, he’ll cheat, she’ll forgive him, he’ll cheat, she’ll take him to the effing cleaners. April 2013. ---

November 28, 2011. Over a year, so by Hollywood standards not a short relationship. News is squoze in with the Thanksgiving / Christmas stuff so it’s got a short half-life. ---
