It's no secret that in Hollywood, a "successful" marriage is one that doesn't end in a drug fueled domestic assault. It's easy to be cynical about celeb on celeb relationships, especially after the Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter split. Their weirdness just seemed to balance each other out so well that our Claymation hearts broke when we heard about their divorce.

Although maybe we should have seen it coming...
