But I see if you have money, you can holla at anybody. Cause Chris Rock would annoy the shit out of me, I could not be married to him. Plus he aint all that cute either……..

Damn!!! What happened to this on? Black families are breaking up all over the place. Do these people even think abou the children? Anyway, one of them probably screwed up big time. Take half, girlfriend and move on. Too bad.

not too surprised, when I heard him talk about when he was trying to get with his wife-it had an air of “ok, shes ok. We can have somthing convenient” Didnt really get any sparks flying or anything.

i remember when she wanted to leave him early in the marraige cause he wasn’t spending time with her and he wooed her back, like he said on some talk show with the Rock - cause he gave her some big ass ring. now he’s heading up the split, uhhhmmm methinks she cheated and he found out, and he hires a bigwig - he doesn’t want to part with his money in the process…
Everybody hates chris, but i love you.
the man aint always wrong peeps…

People in general are to me-orientated to make marriage work . Both sexes are to blame . And I also believe people don’t take it serious enough,because they know they can always get out …….DIVORCE !!

I’m disappointed but you gotta admit those bits(HBO specials) about his marriage and marriage in general were a little too real sounding - like this IS his everyday life and he’s just dealing with it the best way he can for the moment.

The problem is, When you have a marriage in Hollywood, you have to be FOCUSED. Because as a celeb you have access to too much stuff for free. Women, cars, jewerly, women, fame. It over takes people that dont know how to handle it. Thats why some celebs dont live in LA becuase they want to have a peaceful family life and be focused on their family. Doing movies is just a job and then they go home. Bernie Mac, lives out here somewhere in chicago. I heard he wants a simple life, he flys to cali, does what he has to do and then goes home.

The problem as I see it is that alot of celebrities in their hearts are just regular people. They end up marrying spouses that are attracted to the “lifestyle”. The cars, the money, etc. Chris’s wife from the jump was a Hollywood wife. If you had the chance to meet her there is not a humble bone in her body. Chris is her total opposite, a total down to earth guy. These celebrity men need to start finding women who would have talked to them BEFORE they were who they are today and then maybe they might find a soulmate or at least a marriage that would last more than 10 years. Props to him for not wanting to remain unhappy. She’ll probably get a nice chunk of change but at least he’s got his sanity.

Interesting.
While I believe that marriage should not be entered into lightly and that vows should be taken seriously, we have to rememeber that one CANNOT make a marriage work by him/herself. It does take TWO We have no idea what they went through as a couple. And people can change over time. I don’t think anyone should stay in an unhappy marriage. I wish them both the best.

When men hit 40, they start to get that “itch”…..
You really REALLY have to be in love with your wife, because when you hit 40, woman start giving you their phone numbers, their panties & bra, etc, etc…
It’s really CHALLENGING to stay married these days, because there are SO MANY temptations….
I don’t know the details of this story, so that all I have to say !

Selah & Amen….
The best person to marry is that guy/gal that you went to High school or college with and they held you down when times was hard…..
Marry your best Friend (opposite sex of course !!) !!!!
Don’t just marry a person because they look good, because beauty fades…
I don’t know anything about Malaka, but from what I heard she seems like a pain in the ass..
Chris may have been fed up with trying to please her on a daily basis….
If LOVE isn’t reciprocal, then it doesn’t work

Dang, I can’t even believe it.
What’s going on with these Hollywood couples?
Everybody’s splitting up. Is nothing sacred anymore?
And oh yeah, I agree with SweetNeesee, his wife is definitely about to get half his shit. That’s why they say it’s cheaper to keep her.
Look at Russell and Kimora, they were only separated for about 2 seconds.
I mean, yeah, Kimora’s rich, but she’s most definitely not Russell Simmons rich.
And she just seems like the type of chick that would take a negro for all he has just to spite him.

BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO REALIZE WHEN YOU GETTING MARRIED IS SAID FOR BETTER OR WORSE, TIL DEATH DO US PART. MARRIAGE IS ABOUT COMMUNICATION, HONESTY, TRUST, LOYALTY. DAMN WE BLACK MEN AND WOMEN HAVE TO START UNITING. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS WITH DIVORCE RATES GOING THE WAY IT IS.

Didn’t some woman come out the other day trying to sue him for paternity? Never heard too much about that case. Anyway it is sad whenever a couple breaks up, except in the case of Bobby and Whitney, that one should have happened 14 years ago.

Statistics show that there are two main reasons why married couples get divorced. SEX OR MONEY.
On the surface it may not seem that way, but on a closer look you will see the root of divorces always comes from one of these (or worse- both) issues.
I wonder which one it was for them….hmmmmmmm

Chris Rock Tied To Wiretaps Case
Paper Says Comedian Hired Private Eye Pellicano In Paternity Case
LOS ANGELES, April 18, 2006
Chris Rock (AP/CBS)
(AP) A spokesman for Chris Rock said the comedian hired celebrity private eye Anthony Pellicano to investigate a Hungarian model who claimed he was the father of her unborn child, according to a published report.
Rock’s representative, Matt Labov, confirmed that the comedian’s representatives hired Pellicano after model Monika Zsibrita made the allegation in 1999, the Los Angeles Times reported on Tuesday.
Zsibrita, 33, was named in a February indictment as a victim of an alleged wiretapping and racketeering conspiracy on behalf of A-list Hollywood attorneys and other prominent clients. An indictment accuses Pellicano of using his connections with a police detective to illegally run a background check on Zsibrita on July 30, 1999.
Pellicano has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Rock was separated from his wife when he met Zsibrita. The outcome of the paternity case was unclear because it was sealed by a private judge. Labov said that no one associated with Rock had any idea the private investigator would illegally access police files, as federal authorities have alleged.
Authorities claim Pellicano tapped the phone of actor Sylvester Stallone and had police run the names of comedians Garry Shandling and Kevin Nealon through a government database.
Earlier this month, John McTiernan, director of such hit movies as “Die Hard” and “The Thomas Crown Affair,” pleaded guilty to making false statements to an FBI agent about hiring Pellicano to wiretap a business associate.
