So much for those 40 years
With Heidi Montag & Spencer kaput, Al and Tipper Gore decide they might as wellsplit up
After that ironclad union of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt splintered over the weekend, I guess we shouldn't be surprised by anything in the world of celebrity marriage.
Still, when Al and Tipper Gore — they of the 40 years of marriage and that infamous near-makeout kiss at the 2000 Democratic National Convention — can't make it, who can? The Gores e-mailed their friends to tell them of the separation. They called it "a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration," in the e-mail, which was obtained by the Associated Press.
So Al and Tipper Gore are split up, while Tiger and Elin Woods are still (at least officially) together. OK.
And how much crap can Bill Clinton give Gore now? Bill — the rascal of rascals — manages to keep his marriage, while Mr. Good/Mr. Environment loses his?
Al Gore associates are insisting to the Associated Press that no affair was involved in the separation.
Something doesn't add up here. And part of it is the math. If you've been together for four decades, you must know how to work through a rough patch. Did Tipper suddenly stop recycling or something? Did she refuse to wash out her Coke cans before tossing them into the bin?
These two have been together since the night of their senior prom. Sure, it's not as shocking as the fact that Doug Reinhardt hasn't taken Paris Hilton back, but even these minor celebrity breakups like Al and Tipper deserve a little attention.
