Why do stars break up?

The main problem here is that they don't have time for each other. Working on movie is not fun and it is taking time away from family. In addition to, they have to create so close relationship with movie partners. It has nothing to do with being famous.

I think that they break up just about as much as the relationships of people around us, we just hear it more. Think about your friends and family. I know that at my BF's store there are at least 3 going through a divorce right now. I work for an attorney, she doesn't even do family law or divorces, but I hear of atleast a couple every day. What is sad is that stars personel live's are up there for all the world to see. I wouldn't want the whole world watching me. Why do we find it all so fascinating, when they are just going through the same stuff we are?

I think it is just to stay in the spotlight. If you stop making good movies or good songs (or whatever your career is) you have to do something to get back in the news. A marriage, a divorce, a nervous break-down, or a custody dispute is always a great way to stay in the limelight.
