2010年上半年，五大最热明星夫妻离婚案

editor's note: celebrity divorces always hit the headlines as much as their luxurious weddings. with the sad end of a relationship, their photos hand-in-hand, diamond wedding rings or sweet kisses live on only in old magazines. in the first half of 2010, we are sorry to find that five celebrity couples got divorced.

1. kate winslet & sam mendes

shortly after many actresses win the movie industry's highest honor, their most important relationships fall apart in what has become known in hollywood as the "oscar curse." there is another example in accord with the curse. oscar-winning couple kate winslet and her director husband sam mendes announced in march that they had separated after less than seven years of marriage. the marriage was the second for winslet, 34, who won a best actress oscar for her role in the 2008 holocaust-themed movie "the reader". she was divorced from her first husband, assistant director jim threapleton in 2001, after three years.

2. sandra bullock & jesse james

4. huang yi & jiang kai

solid marriage usually relies on enduring affection and long-term company; while a flash marriage often results in a tragic ending due to lack of enough mutual understanding. chinese actress huang yi and her husband jiang kai had just ended their less-than-a-year marriage. huang ascribed the reason for the divorce to conflicting personalities, which is an excuse often used by those who suffer a failed-marriage.
