This week we saw two major events amongst celebrity couples.  1) Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes got married in Malibu, California. 2) Amy Smart announced her engagement to Carter Oosterhouse from HGTV’s “Carter Can”

What makes these two couples worth talking about in this post?  Eddie, LeAnn and Amy all dumped their longtime former companions for someone more prominent in the industry.

Eddie was married to Brandi Glanville, a make-up artist who is also the mother of his two children.  The two were married for 8 years before Eddie began his alleged affair with LeAnn, also married at the time to Dean Sheremet, also for 8 years !!

So they both dumped their spouses of 8 years, to get with the more prominent, more famous and wealthier person.

Now, on to Amy Smart.  Amy was dating actor Brandon Williams, and the two had been together more than half their lives, since they were teenagers in junior high.  They were at once engaged, but ended their relationship.  Then Amy meets Carter in November, and the two are already on the path to tying the knot.  Sucks for Brandon who’s been puttin in work over half his life.

All that’s to say is, most celebrities in the industry will do you like Jennifer Lopez.  They’ll ditch out on the Ojani Noas and Chris Judds of their lives, to get with the Puffys, Diddys and Marc Anthonys.

If you’re dating a celebrity, and you’re a non-celebrity… beware your 8th year.
