Relationships come and go as people seek out that special someone to spend the rest of their days with, and Hollywood certainly sees its fair share of unsuccessful tries at love.
The year of 2011 witnessed a number of high-profile marriages, though there were just as many couples who decided that it just wasn’t meant to be.
Among the married pairs who sadly parted way during the past twelve months were Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, who now find themselves in a dispute over custody of their shared baby twins, Max and Emme.
Other celebrities divorcing during the year were partners of 72 days, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, along with Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, Scarlett Johannson and Ryan Reynolds, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, and Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard.
Meanwhile, there were a handful of stars who had, fortunately, not yet made it to the altar before deciding to call it quits.
The floundering romance of George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis made plenty of headlines with Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez, Kate Bosworth and Alexander Skarsgard and Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper also among the couples no longer together at year’s end.
Rounding out 2011′s Tinseltown breakups were Zoe Saldana and fiance Keith Britton, Chaz Bono and Jennifer Elia, Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio, Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin, Amanda Seyfried and Ryan Phillippe and Jesse James and Kat Von D, who split not once, but twice over the past twelve months.
Taking advantage of the beautiful weather, Vanessa Hudgens headed out on a bike ride with her sister Stella in Santa Monica on Tuesday (September 27).
The adorable sisters pedaled away on their beach cruisers as they looked to be thoroughly enjoying their leisurely bike ride through town.
During the course of the afternoon, the former “High School Musical” star tended to a few errands with a visit to the local Trader Joe’s among the items on her agenda.
On a side note, Vanessa took to Facebook to voice her liking of the new “How to Make It In America promo by Luis Guzman (watch above), as she wrote, “Love this Duck Sauce vid of Luis Guzman!! Who’s a How to Make It in America fan?”
She was just named as a late addition to the U.S. “X Factor” lineup, and Nicole Scherzinger helped back up the decision with a sexy spread adorning the pages of the new issue of GQ India.
The former Pussycat Dolls singer tossed off her top as she teased the cameras for a hot photo shoot included in the latest installment of the men’s magazine.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, Miss Scherzinger will be co-hosting “X Factor” U.S. alongside Welsh television personality Steve Jones.
Of the pairing, show creator Simon Cowell told Us Weekly in a statement, “These two are going to be great together. I have always wanted Steve to work with us; I think he is a real star.”

He is very cute and full of energy.
