I mean, if you were ending your weekend watching whatever the heck that Golden Globes ceremony was with that annoying Mary Hart announcing some of the winners, it was really an anticlimax to the weekend: Nicole and Christina had their babies. Jessica Simpson wasn't even nowhere near Dallas, and Tony Romo still effed up the football game against the Giants. Britney was cussing at the paparazzi. Again.

But, if you had bet on Daniel Day-Lewis or Julie Christie to win this weekend, you made a couple of bucks. And the Oscar nominations are next Tuesday, so we'll see what the books make of that, considering there may not even be a ceremony if the writers' strike still goes on. But, if there are odds, we'll be on it.

Then again, none of that may even matter at all because, that's right, American Idol starts tomorrow night. It's like Christmas Day all over again.

Is marriage really all bliss in Hollywood? Are any of the many celebrity couples in danger of divorce? Are we chomping at the bit for another messy brawl between two self-absorbed, bratty celebrities? Yes we are!

betUS has the odds on which Hollywood couples may be next to step into the divorce ring. (To get to the props, click on one of the odds below, then "Future/Props," then "Entertainment Props," then "Celebrity Divorce.")

Tom Cruise - Katie Holmes (+125): Your favorites, folks. I think we'd all like to see this end. I mean, I know a lot of guys who would be very happy to see Katie Holmes wake up from her zombie state and be hot again. But Scientology is a powerful, um, group of people.


Jennifer Garner - Ben Affleck (+200): You know, I just don't see this happening. I'm not even sure why they'd be in second place running when I just saw Ben on The Daily Show not two days ago with a permanent smile on his face.


Jennifer Lopez - Marc Anthony (+300): Well, considering JLo's (supposedly) pregnant with twins, this should be one of the worser ones to bet on. Though what worries me is what those kids are going to look like with zombie Marc. Now, that might just cause a divorce.





Christina Aguilera - Jordan Bratman (+500): We know for sure that Xtina's pregnant, so this would probably be the longest shot out of all of them. Unless Jordan Bratman is one of those baby daddies? (Probably not.)


Victoria Beckham - David Beckham (+600): Posh and Becks have been together for so long, you'd think they'd be bickering like old folks at this point. But they've been keeping it together, at least in public. I would guess that if there were really any couples close to the verge of breaking up, they'd be it. And you'd make some nice change from it, too.





Eva Longoria - Tony Parker (+900): They just got married this past summer, people. Come on. Though if Eva's itching to have some babies and Tony's not having it, there could be some trouble really quick for these two.
