In one night of terrible judgment, Chad Johnson's world changed dramatically and one of the NFL's most entertaining celebrities joined an exclusive club. And no, it's not the pro football hall of fame. It's the short marriage club.

Johnson allegedly headbutted his wife Evelyn Lozada, which brought on her decision to file for divorce days later, capping their marriage at 41 days. That's brief, but far from the shortest on record. 

It could be that the passions that make someone exciting and famous make them impulsive, and it's simply part of the deal. Or it could be that celebrities are a little dumber than the rest of us in the game of love.

Passion or stupidity? Read our History of the Shortest Celebrity Marriages and decide for yourself.

The actress and the hunky country star tied the knot in 2005 and called it quits some even months later. But what raised eyebrows was Zellweger's claim, in the legal documents, of "fraud" on the part of Chesney. Rumors ran wild that Chesney was gay. Renee explained that it was merely a legal term, but to this day some remain unconvinced.
