Rick Salomon is undeniably an expert on short-term marriages. This shared experience could be what brought Rick and Shannen Doherty together. The pair married in 2002, but the honeymoon period didn’t last for too long. The couple decided to go their separate ways after only nine months.
It’s unclear which of Salomon’s relationships is the most outrageous. His infamous sex tape with Paris Hilton? His two marriages and divorces from Pamela Anderson? Or his nine-month marriage to Shannen Doherty?
Baywatch Bombshell and a Scandalous Star
The “Baywatch” bombshell, Pamela Anderson, wed Rick Salomon, widely known as the guy from Paris Hilton’s infamous sex tape, in October 2007. The wedding took place in Vegas and the marriage was over in less than ten weeks.
Pamela filed for divorce only two months after their Vegas nuptials. As has become familiar by now, her reasons were “irreconcilable differences.” Marriage really seems to highlight those, right? Surprisingly Pamela and Rick married again in 2014 and filed for divorce again in 2015. The reason? You guessed it, irreconcilable differences.
Hotel Heiress and The Businessman Strike Out
Nicky Hilton, celebutante and "Hilton" hotel heiress married businessman Todd Andrew Meister in August 2004. Todd is 13 years older than Nicky and she described him as more of a friend than anything else, which is probably why the pair filed for an annulment only a few months after the wedding.
Nicky has found love again with the heir of the famous and fabulously wealthy Rothschild Family. The happy couple is married are now expecting their third child together.
A Broken Marriage
Actor Charlie Sheen and model Donna Peele C met when they both starred in a cigarette commercial. Sheen was clearly smitten with her when he said, “She’s an angel sent from heaven to take me through the rest of my journey.” The couple tied the knot on Charlie’s birthday in 1995 after six weeks of dating (this should've been a red flag).
The marriage only lasted five months. When asked about the divorce, Sheen said, “You buy a bad car, it breaks down.” That guy is a real charmer!
A Rebound Marriage
Cher, famous for her marriage and partnership with Sonny Bono, married singer Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers only days after her divorce from Sonny came through, leaving behind many teary-eyed “I Got You Babe” fans. It seems like Cher didn’t know her new husband very well because only days after the wedding, the raven-haired singer decided to pull the plug.
Cher filed for divorce nine days after the wedding citing her husband’s problems with drugs and alcohol as the cause for the split.
