Penelope Cruz and Matthew McConaughey


In June, Penelope Cruz, 32, and Matthew McConaughey, 36, announced that they were "taking time off" as a couple. "Due to busy work schedules and time apart, they mutually decided four weeks ago that separating was the best thing to do at the time," according to astatement from the couple. Why did it take them four weeks to make the announcement?

Were they waiting to see if Tom Cruise would take Penelope back? No chance of that as he was already swooning over his new baby with Katie Holmes.

Jude Law and Sienna Miller


I admit that this one is is NO way shocking, but still relevant to the list nonetheless. Jude Law and Sienna Miller apparently split again in November. But wait - this time they said it's for good. How is that any different from the other 75 times that they broke up in 2006?

Jude cheated on her with the nanny, Sienna cheated on him with just about every one of her co-stars from New York to London. These two clearly have issues and it's about time that they just ended this ridiculously volatile thing they've been calling a relationship.
