Announcing "The Star-Studded Couple Blogathon"

Announcing

 

That's right! From April 22-25 we're celebrating all of your favorite Star Couples: Fairbanks & Pickford, Bogie & Bacall, Gable & Lombard, Newman & Woodward, Curtis & Leigh... the list goes on.

Called the Hollywood Marriage-Go-Round, we will be looking at the stars who married and divorced each other so often it became difficult to remember who was married to whom. We will also look at those couples who found true love and stayed together till they were "old and gray," the marriages that were cut short by tragedy, and those that ended amicably with neither star blaming the other.

The Rules are simple: pick your favorite Hollywood couple - no duplicates please - keeping in mind these three things: 1) both must be an actor/actress, 2) they must have been married, and 3) they must be from Classic Hollywood; leave a comment with your selection and a link to your blog; and grab a banner to display on your site. Finally, post anytime between April 22-25. That's it!
