A nation of Hulk-a-Maniacs weeps

It looks like Terry ("Hulk") Hogan and his wife Linda are headed for divorce.

The couple's family star in the VH1 Reality TV show "Hogan Knows Best" - and so some, citing Nick and Jessica and Britney and Kevin, are saying the reality TV curse has struck again.

It seems like a good point -- the couple's son is also facing felony charges in a drag racing incident, so maybe TV really does destroy everything it touches.

But when you look at how many celebrity couples get divorced, factor in that about half of American marriages fail even if no one is famous, and then think about the extra pressures fame can put on a marriage, maybe it's amazing any stars are married.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, rapper Jay-Z refused to discuss his relationship with pop star Beyonce at all. He said it's hard enough to have a relationship with both of your families involved -- having millions of people you don't know involved as well is just ridiculous.

He may have a point.
