After years of looking like one of Hollywood's happiest couples, Heidi Klum's separation from Seal comes as a big surprise even to the pair's friends. For every break-up that no one saw coming, though, at least a dozen were as visible as that big white sign on the Hollywood hills on a clear day. With some of these mismatched pairs, the mystery isn't why these couples are splitting, but how they ever got together in the first place.
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries: Yes, they're old news. Yes, writing about anything Kardashian-related feels like walking on broken glass. Yes, they were only married for 72 days. Can anyone argue that they don't belong at the top of this list? This celebrity marriage felt doomed from the start, and no one was surprised to hear that Kim and Kris were splitting.
Jesse James and Kat Von D: If you were shocked to hear that a serial cheater cheated again, raise your hand. Hmm, not many hands in the air, it seems, but -- wait, is that someone in the back with her hand up? Ah, it's Ms. Von D. Sorry, Kat, but if a man cheats on his gorgeous movie star wife with a woman who calls herself "Bombshell," then dumps her for you, there's a pretty strong chance he isn't quite ready to settle into domestic bliss.
Katy Perry and Russell Brand: She's a saucy singer from an ultra-religious background who mixes playful pop tunes with a dash of flirtatious sex appeal. He's a comedian with a scathing sense of humor and a dark past. Love them or loathe them, did anyone not named Katy Perry or Russell Brand really expect these two to last? While it wasn't exactly surprising news to hear that Katy and Russell were divorcing, it's still a shame.
Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris: While it's doubtful that Hef will ever settle down -- and really, with his lifestyle, who would? -- he did propose to Crystal Harris last summer, only to see her split with the ring and the family dog a short while later. He got the last laugh; everyone knows who Hugh Hefner is, but attention-seeking Crystal's moved off the celebrity map. She still got a new last name, though. Instead of being Crystal Hefner, she's now become "Crystal Who?"
