The most shocking split this year -- perhaps this decade -- was the announcement last January that Hollywood's "perfect" golden couple, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, was ending their marriage just a day after they returned from a romantic getaway in Anguilla. And that was just the first of many. Here are the most buzz worthy celeb splits of 2005... Jen & Brad: Like I said, I never saw this coming and neither did the rest of the world. I mean, this is the couple who got matching highlights on their wedding day! That alone should have guaranteed them happily ever after. But on January 7, the day after they were seen canoodling like newlyweds in the Caribbean, they announced their split and promised to remain "caring friends." But something was rotten in Hollywood -- Brad was secretly seeing Angelina Jolie and they came out in the spring when they were "accidentally" photographed together, playing with Angie's son, on a remote beach in Kenya. (I'm sure there's a huge paparazzi presence in Kenya.) On March 25, Jen filed for divorce; the split became final on October 2. She's been getting over Brad by spending time with Vince Vaughn, but it doesn't look like they're a forever thing. On the other hand, Brad and Angie seem to be the real deal as he plans to adopt her two kids. Nick & Jessica: I know you're sick of reading about them, and I'm sick of writing about them. But, in a nutshell, Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson got tired of pretending that they were the perfect newlyweds. Amidst rumors of infidelity (both parties!), they announced their split the night before Thanksgiving, preventing me from getting a good night's sleep before turkey day. @$%&#$*%! Let the nasty divorce proceedings begin. Charlie and Denise: Charlie Sheen has a bad track record with the ladies. He fathered a child in his late teens, dated a porn star, shot his then-fiance Kelly Preston in the arm, was arrested for battering another girlfriend... You get the point. So when the former drug addict seemed to clean up his life and settled into married life with Denise Richards, we were happy for him. But in March, just three months before the birth of their second child, Denise unexpectedly filed for divorce. Rumor had it Charlie boy was gambling, but he called the rumors "lies." But by the end of the summer, they seemed to be working things out. Just a week ago they went on a romantic getaway to Barbados. Paris & Nicole: I thought this tiresome twosome would be best friends forever. Boy was I wrong. One day last spring Paris Hilton dropped a bomb in a statement: "It's no big secret that Nicole [Richie] and I are no longer friends. Nicole knows what she did, and that's all I'm ever going to say about it." Meow! Insiders whispered that Paris was peeved Nic screened the hotel heiress's One Night in Paris porn tape for friends, but neither revealed any details as to why their friendship went south. Both gals also ended engagements this year: Paris dumped Paris Latsis; Nicole and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein split in December. Jude & Sienna: I assumed that a couple like Jude Law and Sienna Miller who looked so bloody perfect together would stay together forever, but I was wrong. Just a month after getting engaged, Jude was making a movie in Louisiana -- and making it with his children's nanny. The kicker? His son walked in during one of their romps and found Daddy in bed with the nanny. When the boy returned home to his mum, Jude's first wife Sadie Frost, he proceeded to tell her -- at the dinner table! -- about how Daddy slept in the same bed as his nanny Daisy. Ever the gallant gentleman, Jude proceeded to call the child a liar. But Jude's smart ex wouldn't let it drop -- and finally got him to admit he was shagging the babysitter. As all good mother's would, Sadie flipped -- and the story made it to the gossip papers. When See-See found out (she read in the paper), she dumped Jude on his cute heinie. Even his public apology (!) didn't work. But a few months later the silly girl let him back into her bed... though she's still refusing to wear his ring. Etc.: Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney filed for an annulment after four months of marriage... One Tree Hill sweethearts Chad Michael Murray, who reportedly couldn't keep his trousers on, and Sophia Bush ended their marriage after just five months... Leonardo DiCaprio and Gisele Bundchen -- who went public for the first time at the Oscars this year -- ended their five-year relationship... Christina Applegate and Johnathon Schaech ended their marriage after Christina found a new man. They were married... with no children... Sandra Oh and Alexander Payne, who directed her in Sideways, ended their brief marriage in April... Eddie Murphy and his wife of 12 years, Nicole, filed for divorce after 12 years... Mike Meyers also had the 12 year itch, filing for divorce from his wife Robin in December... Tori Spelling ditched her husband, Charlie Shanian, in the summer when she fell for a guy who was also married. Now she's engaged to the new guy -- but she's still legally wed.
