ENTERTAINMENT DIGEST || Shortest celebrity marriage


So, Kim Kardashian’s 72-day sprint from wedded bliss to divorce papers must amount to the shortest celebrity marriage ever, right? Wrong! As a matter of fact, Miss K’s marriage to basketball star Kris Humphries — which, in one of the least surprising news stories of the year, began its slow journey to Splitsville on Monday — doesn’t even crack the Top 10 of shortest celeb pairings. Among the hall of famers in connubial quickies:

v The winner: 1980s hot mess Robin Givens and tennis pro Svetozar Marinkovic: Seven minutes (that’s how long Marinkovic said it lasted until they officially separated).

v Britney: Tortured pop tart Britney Spears and childhood pal Jason Alexander: Three days.

v No Mama: “Blue Velvet” star Dennis Hopper and ex-Mamas and the Papas singer Michelle Phillips: Eight days.

v Weird wedding: Tattooed basketball star Dennis Rodman and 1990s relic Carmen Electra: Nine days.

v A short song: Eternal show woman Cher and naughty bluesman Gregg Allman: Nine days.
