Reason #3: One or both are simply crazy
Anne Heche & Ellen DeGeneres: Anne is crazy--or was crazy. She said so herself to Barbara Walters on national TV. She told Barbara that she had created a "fourth dimension" in which to escape to deal with the years of sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her whacked-out father. Don't you think in the three years she and Ellen were together that didn't creep in there once in awhile? Sure it did. Ellen probably thought she could change Anne. Maybe Anne wanted to chase those demons away with a little female companionship. Whatever the case, it wasn't ever going to work.
Kim Basinger & Alec Baldwin: Kim and Alec certainly looked the part of a hot Hollywood couple, after falling in love on the set of The Marrying Man. They even had a child together. But things were brewing underneath. Kim was recently part of an HBO documentary discussing the cause and effects of panic attacks, which Kim suffers greatly from, to the point she couldn't leave the house. OK, that's your first indication.
Reason #4: Not sure why they got together in the first place
Nicole Kidman & Tom Cruise: Ah, there are so many rumors floating around about this breakup, it's really hard to figure it out. But suffice to say, the two never looked comfortable together. And with all the cooing and pronouncements of love, we all have to be reminded of just one thing: they're both actors.
Reason #5: Substance abuse
