Interesting. I attended similar and investing WAS spoken about, never directly (= never, "mum just bought 10,000 shares of IBM at $34.67") but indirectly ("Oh, Heather's new convertible? Apparently her dad made a killing on Microsoft" or "Yeah, Ushi's family lives in a condo now but before they lost a lot of money in the 1987 market thingy, they were in a mansion!")  In any case, the idea that folks in Meghan's world (private school and university) didn't talk about investing because it was too fancy is ludicrous.

Errrr, the world of private girl's school followed by NorthWestern entirely funded by daddy?  I'm absolutely sure investing was talked about at some of those places.

https://spectator.us/topic/truth-about-meghan-harry-oprah-caroline-giuliani/  I found this article pretty much summed it up for me.

Thanks for doing the poll, Funky!  I suspect Justin Timberlake and jessica might go pear-shaped this year, based on his recent indiscretion.

Thank you.  I think I'll be able to return to it the following year.  Just can't do it at the moment. 

Anyway, I won't be able to create this upcoming new year's poll but it would be a shame to let the long tradition end.  Fkyelicious... sounds like you have what it takes to make the next one: go for it!

Would anyone like to volunteer to create this new year’s divorce poll?  

Interesting stuff.  I pretty much agree with this, whole-heartedly:  https://www.spectator.co.uk/2019/08/by-royal-disappointment-meghan-and-harrys-behaviour-is-undermining-the-monarchy/

Speak of the devil.  Will Smith was up front about having an open marriage when he spoke to my Egyptian friend.

 

No, I don't remember!?!?!  What gossip?  And what photos did you see?

Shouldn’t we pat ourselves on the back?  Hasn’t it been a while since we even had a couple on the poll actually divorce? ??

Then again, this couple has broken up and made up many times before... I’ll believe the divorce when it actually happens.

Miley and Liam separating after 8 months of wedded bliss: https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/miley-cyrus-liam-hemsworth-split-after-less-than-8-months-of-marriage/

Interesting @Hoya.  I'd say she cares about jewellery - if she didn't, she'd do as my sister and many other people do, which is no engagement ring or an engagement ring she doesn't wear.   But to me these 3 wildly different rings signify a woman who, each time, tries to to convince herself and others, "no, but this marriage really is different and I've grown and matured and changed since the last one..."

" Just saw that Adrianne Palicki and Scott Grimes are divorcing after just 2 months. "  I don't get it.  How is it even possible to marry and file for divorce within 8 weeks?  i mean, I guess if you discover your new spouse has been hiding an addiction or lied to you about sexual orientation or you caught them cheating?  I just... I can't... wow.

Do not love her ring https://pagesix.com/2019/07/22/scarlett-johansson-debuts-11-carat-engagement-ring-from-colin-jost/

Yellow is my least favorite color. I don't love diamonds (though as I get older, they're growing on me). I'm all for non-traditional but this is just not at all my style....

That ring is FUG.  I love yellow diamonds but the setting and shape... non non non.  However, I guess when you've already been given a honking round colorless diamond engagement ring (ryan reynolds) and you've already been given a multistone vintage- inspired colorless diamond engagement ring (Romain the surly Frenchie), you are now ready for something modern and colored.  *shrug*

Rachel Leigh Cook and her husband split after 14 years of marriage (and she still looks like she's about 22 years old!)   https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7140189/Rachael-Leigh-Cook-husband-Daniel-Gillies-announce-separation-14-years-marriage.html

73% of 3rd marriages end in divorce.  I wonder what that percentage is, in Hollywood?

This article (with all its spelling and grammatical errors) was published on the forbes website and pulled a number of hours later.  Word is, the new PR person decided to quash it.  Anyway, here is an archived copy:  http://web.archive.org/web/20190329225305/https://www.forbes.com/sites/rogeraitken/2019/03/29/meghan-markle-does-the-british-tax-payer-know-how-much-me-gain-royal-is-costing/amp/

Oh, and Of Course biebs and his child bride will split.  But, I don’t think it’ll happen until they spit out a poor baby or two, just to make the situation extra-sad and the inevitable divorce extra-messy.  Ergo, they did not receive my vote.

Nah, decided to leave all royals out of it.  Re. Natalie and the millipede: I only included a few golden oldies who had received many votes in past... they were among the highest scorers in bygone polls.

i feel bad for Chris Pratt.  The Kennedy clan will chew him up and spit him out a broken man... they are a pack of thugs and he seems quite sweet and simple.

I used to try to pick mostly A-list (or A-list adjacent) couples.  But this year, in an attempt to give y’all the fresh blood you crave?, I’ve included many less illustrious names.  Hope you like ‘em.

Moderators: if this poll hasn’t already been closed, Please do so.  Thank you.

*bumpity bump*

*b...bump it up*

*bump* 

if any of you find old divorce polls that haven’t been bumped, p,ease do so ?
