Jessica and Nick, John and Kate, Britney and K-Fed...what do these
former celebrity couples have in common? They have all fallen victim to
the reality romance curse! Many a Hollywood couples have found the
opportunity to turn their real-life romance into a small screen hit!
While these couples start off as love stricken stars, things quickly
turns and the love fizzles.
 We could argue that the couples would have never lasted, but it seems
to be a consistent trend, that once you take your love to the airwaves,
the reality romance curse is bound to set in! Here are the Top 10
Reality Romances Gone Bad!
10. Brigitte Nielsen and Flavor Flav - Perhaps the most bizarre
reality pair in history! These two "Surreal" stars first found love on
the set of the VH1 series "The Surreal Life." They left audiences
bewildered, and wondering if their love was the real deal. VH1 quickly
monopolized on the odd-couple and created the spin-off series "Strange
Love," which explored the in and outs of the eccentric duo. The duo
finally split in 2005 after an on-camera breakdown.
 9. Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro - The Playmate and her rocker beau
withstood one reality show, centred around their dating relationship,
and faced another reality hurdle after they tied the knot with the MTV
series, "Til Death Do Us Part." The former Mrs. Dennis Rodman displayed
her unusual relationship with her rocker mate Dave in the very
short-lived reality show. After only three years of marriage, the pair
decided to split.
8. Hulk and Linda Hogan - The wrestling star faced an out of the ring
battle when his wife of 24 years filed for divorce in 2007. The duo had
been on the rocks for a decade and their VH1 reality series, "Hogan
Knows Best," highlighted their martial struggles. Although the couple
had struggled publicly, their reality series was apparently the last
straw. Since the divorce, the Hogans have gone their separate ways.
7. Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler - The inked Blink-182 drummer and
the former Miss USA may have been an unconventional pair, but the two
seemed head over heels during the first season of MTV's "Meet The
Barkers." The love story quickly came to an end after reports of
infidelity spread and the second season of the series became the pair's
last. The two filed for divorce after only two years of marriage. They
have two children together, and Shanna has a 7-year-old daughter from a
previous relationship with boxer Oscar De Le Hoya.
 6. Lauren Conrad and Jason Whaler - The reality teens started dating
during their stint on the MTV hit "Laguna Beach." Shortly after the
teens left "Laguna," Lauren headed for "The Hills." Jason became a
fixture during the show's first season, and the two endured a roller
coaster relationship. During the season finale, Lauren famously turned
down an internship in Paris to stay with her beach beau. In August of
2006, the couple called it quits.
5. Hugh Hefner and 'The Girls Next Door' - The Playboy pimp and his
entourage of leading ladies - Holly, Bridget, and Kendra - started off
as one big happy family. But after a few seasons of their E! Reality
series, "The Girls Next Door," the three lovely bunnies bounced! The
infamous magazine mogul has made a career out of romancing young women,
and the "Girls Next Door" seemed no different.
4. Jason Mesnick and Melissa Rycroft - Jason became the fan favourite
after being rejected by "Bachelorette" DeAnna Pappas, and was then
chosen to become the next "Bachelor" where he could try to control his
own love destiny. But oh, how perceptions quickly change. The single
father was left with two lucky ladies during the season finale, and
ultimately chose Texas native Melissa Rycroft.
 3. Britney Spears and Kevin Federline - It's the classic story of pop
princess meets... back-up dancer? Britney and her former back up dancer,
Kevin Federline, exchanged vows in a secret 2004 wedding, and went on to
have two sons together. The two shared the small screen in their
appropriately titled reality series "Chaotic," which showcased the pop
starlet and her bad boy beau sharing their lives together.
 Rumours of infidelity quickly spread, and after only two years of
marriage, the duo called it quits, claiming "irreconcilable
differences."
2. John and Kate Gosselin - The picture perfect family has crumbled,
and is now in the center of a full-blown media hurricane! The two
started out as the idyllic parents of two - and then soon eight -
adorable children in 2007 with the launch of their TLC hit "John and
Kate Plus Eight." Rumours of the rift were confirmed in June when the
couple officially filed for divorce.
1. Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey - The original reality romance
gone bad! These two pop stars met in 1998 and were a match made in music
heaven! The stars exchanged vows in 2002 with a lavish Texas ceremony.
MTV soon picked up the rights to the couple's martial bliss by
signing on for "Newlyweds." The couple soon became America's sweethearts
but in 2006, after only three years of marriage, the couple called it
quits.
