Joan said it...

Well, it looks like after 4 measly months, the union of ZellwegerChesney is ova. The awesome thing is the fact that Joan rightfully predicted 4 months when her and I first wrote about this atrocity on Joan & Melissa: see HERE.

From Yahoo:
Wednesday in Los Angeles, Zellweger checked the paperwork box marked "fraud," and filed for an annulment from her country star husband of four months. "The reports are true," Zellweger rep Nanci Ryder confirmed. "There are no further details."

Zellweger, 36, and Chesney, 37, wed May 9 on a beach in the Virgin Islands. The bride wore a strapless Carolina Herrera; the groom, a black Stetson.


The ceremony, held in front of friends and family, came about 5 months after the couple met at a tsunami relief benefit in January.

"I am incredibly happy," Chesney said at the time. "I may well be the luckiest man alive. To be so in love with someone who is so perfect for me. It's just hard to imagine that I'm not going to wake up." Three days later, Chesney resumed his Somewhere in the Sun tour.

By late July, E! Online columnist Ted Casablanca was reporting on buzz that had the newlyweds splitting up. At the time, Ryder told Casablanca, "I just saw her [Zellweger], and I'm sure it's not true."

Last week, Britain's Daily Mail estimated that Zellweger and Chesney had spent 15 days together since their wedding. Caught by the newspaper on the red carpet for the London premiere of Cinderella Man, Zellweger, who attended the event solo, batted away rumors of a marriage in swift decline.

"I'm happily married," Zellweger said, per the paper, "but I don't talk about it because I want to keep my precious things precious."

Word of their pending annulment was first reported Thursday afternoon by People magazine. Later, Los Angeles' City News Service dug up the filing, and the "fraud" declaration.

In the pantheon of short-lived Hollywood marriages, Zellweger and Chesney's four-month-long union lasted an eternity compared to those of Zsa Zsa Gabor (one day, in 1982) and Britney Spears (55 hours, in 2004).

I gotta say, I impressed myself on this one. Nailed it.

Now, I think this is proof she's nuts. How you can annul a marriage when you're still in the "bliss" phase of your relationship is beyond me. Plus, just days before the announcement, she called the details of her marriage "precious." Nuts, I'm telling you. This woman cannot be in a relationship and she should just stop trying. Also, I think it was an excuse to wear a pretty dress.

And him -- maybe she got a look at what was under that hat and it scared the crap out of her. Maybe that's the "fraud" mentioned in the annulment papers. He was keeping something from her after all... Seriously though, he's nothing more than a famous stalker -- he wrote that song about her after seeing Jerry Maguire... qualifies him as a loon.

Well, she could be worse, I guess. She could be JLo.
