A friend on hearing this, said “Will this marriage be measured in minutes, or seconds, and who will get the kids?”

How cynical.

That’s not cynical.

That’s a reality-based observation, based upon observation of past instances.

A cynic is someone who thinks that only base desires (eg, for money, fame, wealth) motivates people’s actions. Here, both parties have plenty of wealth and fame, so that’s not a motivation. Saying that some bumpkin of a girl marrying a movie star just for the money - that’s cynical.

Noting that celebs seem to have a very elastic definition of “till death do us part” isn’t cynical - it is reality.

Instead of the dog house, Fisher’s transgressions will get him put in the penalty box...

Speaking of celeb-hockey matches, Kristi Yamaguchi and Bret Hedican (Carolina Hurricanes) have been going strong for about 9 years now. Of course, there was the common interest in skating there, but hockey players seem to be more regular guys as far as sports stars go.
