Last year was a dangerous year to be famous.   A-Listers were dropping like... dead celebrities.   It wasn't pretty.

This year, the glitterati took a collective sigh of relief as Death turned his cold gaze elsewhere -- only to find that 2010, sadly, was destined to be remembered as the year that [celebrity] love died.

Dramatic, I know.  But also totally true.  To prove it -- here are ten lessons learned based on ten two headed tabloid monsters who met their bloody end in 2010.  Try saying that ten times fast.  

Letterman-style, in ascending order of shockery --

TOP TEN CELEBRITY SPLITS OF 2010, AND WHAT THEY TAUGHT US:

10. Al and Tipper Gore

In a November 6, 2000 file photo, Vice President Al Gore kisses his wife Tipper during a rally at the America's Center in St. Louis. According to an email leaked to the press, Former Vice President Gore and Tipper are separating after 40 years of marriage. UPI/Bill Greenblatt/File Photo via Newscom

09. Christina Aguilera and Not Famous Husband

34822, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - Sunday October 11, 2009. Christina Aguilera brings her family to the Mr. Bones pumpkin patch to get in the Halloween spirit. Along with husband Jordan Bratman and son Max, Christina spent a while perusing the pumpkins before making her selection. Jordan pulled the trolley while Christina kept a hold of Max. Christina wore a plaid shirt, biker boots and a Mona Lisa print shirt, while Max wore a shirt with the slogan if it's too loud, you're too old . Photograph: PacificCoastNews.com   + 1

  • What we learned: Okay so the dude's name is Jordan Bratman, and I know it -- but can anyone tell me the name of that baldish guy who was married to J.Lo for like a minute pre-Gigli? I didn't think so. Lesson learned: Britney even does a flashier job of marrying and divorcing her backup dancers than X-Tina. And the age-old rivalry continues.   

08. Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter

Primetime Emmy Awards Arrivals held at The Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles, California on August 28th, 2010. Michael C Hall, Jennifer Carpenter                                            Fame Pictures, Inc

  • What we learned: Under no circumstances should you marry your sister. Not even if she just "plays one on TV."  

07. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt

26672, CABOS SAN LUCAS, MEXICO - Friday May 28, 2010. FILE PICTURE dated Wednesday 19th November 2008. Heidi Montag has allegedly seperated from husband Spencer Pratt and is looking for a new place to live. The Hills stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are married in a secret ceremony in Cabos San Lucas, Mexico, on 19th November 2008. Photogragh: Mango Productions/PacificCoastNews.com

  • What we learned: What didn't we learn? Speidi was a train wreck from the moment those two psychotic opportunists laid eyes on each other. I wonder if they had a prenup. And if not, I wonder if he's entitled to one of her implants.

06. Tiger Woods and Elin Nordengren

Enjoyed this humorous post. You did prompt me to write a serious version of what we can really learn from celebrities. I'm thinking I might make this a new category of post on my blog. Thanks for the idea.

I must admit I thought Michael C Hall & Jennifer Carpenter might have been the real thing because they were so private about their relationship, but I still couldn't seem them together. They just don't fit to me, leaving the whole brother/sister ick factor aside.

Re Ryan Reynolds and ScarJo, who marries a girl who says she doesn't believe in marriage? Seriously, dude!

I had no idea about Zac and Vanessa OR Scarlett and Ryan. I am so behind on reading People magazine. Like sick behind. I need to catch up.

Melissa writes Stirrup Queens ( http://stirrup-queens.com ) and Lost and Found ( http://lostandfoundandconnectionsabound.blogspot.c... ). Her novel about blogging is Life from Scratch ( http://www.life-from-scratch.com/ ).

Most of these breakups weren't all too shocking. I enjoyed your take on them!
