Oh celebrities. What is it about the limelight that causes such rifts in your relationships? Is it the inflated egos? The free swag from everyone? The offers of sexual favors from total strangers? A combo platter of all three? Whatever the reason, celebrity couples just can’t keep it in check, keep it humble or keep it in their pants.

We’re highlighting a few of the breakups from this year here. Now, as you peruse the photos, think of some sad songs that you could use as a background for the mental montage you’re about to enjoy. We like Everybody Hurts from REM. It’s a classic. A little Wind Beneath my Wings might be nice background song. Or how about Motley Crue’s, Girl Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away). That probably sums it up.
