Pink And Husband Carey Hart Just Can’t Reconcile Careers And Marriage, Because It’s Super Hard Work
And another one bites the dust.
Add rocker Pink and her motocross hubby Carey Hart to the list of Hollywood marriages doomed to fail because of that old chestnut, Two Careers. Guess that whole “open marriage” thing (while the cat’s away, the mouse can play…or something like that) didn’t work out so well after all:
Sources close to Carey Hart tell TMZ that the motocrosser is telling people that he and his ex still love each other and “will remain best friends.” The downfall of the marriage came as a result of careers getting in the way. P!nk has headed back to the studio to work on her music, while Carey is busy opening new nightclubs.
TMZ has also learned that Hart is opening the first of his new brainchildren — a spot called “Wasted Space” — at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas in May. The club will be a live music venue that will feature new rock bands — and music legends.
However, this might also have something to do with it:
Just days after Pink’s husband, Carey Hart, was spotted cavorting with a sexy VIP casino host during a debauched weekend in Las Vegas, the singer has announced that the couple are ending their two-year marriage. The split comes as no surprise, as there have been rumors for months that the celebrity couple was on the rocks. Although in August 2007, Carey dismissed the breakup rumors as “just a bunch of trash talk,” Pink’s publicist confirmed to PageSix.com that the couple is in fact divorcing. […]
A source — who was at Tabu Ultra Lounge at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on February 11 with Carey — tells PageSix.com, “The sexy VIP host quickly became the focus of his attention when he arrived at the lounge and the duo were inseparable into the early hours of the morning. He couldn’t stop complimenting her and was intent on talking to her all night long.”
The “Stupid Girls” singer was also seen cavorting with a mystery female on February 7 at Macy Gray’s private showcase at Hotel Café in Los Angeles.
Apparently their occupations are cavorting (hey, both mentioned cavorting, at least they have that in common), focusing attention on people other than their spouse, complimenting, talking, heading to the studio, and opening nightclubs. Wow, I can totally see how busy their lives are. No wonder they couldn’t make a marriage work out…I can see, they definitely had no time for each other.
So you, middle America blue-collar worker, now you finally have a valid reason to get out of your marriage. Both you and your spouse are working two jobs to try and make ends meet, you’re trying to take care of your children and make sure they have food to eat and clean clothes to wear, you’ve got to somehow fit in PTA meetings and kids’ doctor appointments (you don’t get any, no time for them) and grocery shopping and making sure the gas man is paid before he shows up to disconnect your only source of heat, you’re searching both you and your spouse’s work schedules so maybe you can snatch an hour or two together once every ten days or so, and you fall into bed exhausted every night (or morning), wondering just how you’re going to make it to the end of the week on the $7.42 left over out of your check and wishing your spouse was home for just a few minutes…now, you realize that it doesn’t matter that you’ve put twenty years of hard work into your marriage, it doesn’t matter that you’ve learned marriage is a series of compromises and values and commitment, and it definitely doesn’t matter that you can’t afford a divorce even if you wanted one (which you don’t, but everybody seems to be getting one, should you pick up an extra job to make sure you can afford it?).
Because, like a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel, you can see that “busy” suddenly qualifies as grounds for divorce. Um…HELLO? Don’t you feel like a fool for spending all those wasted hours “talking it out” and “not going to bed until the argument is settled” and “compromising” and “taking time out for each other”?
I know I do. I’m just so golly gosh-darned busy! What’s Trope and Trope’s number, again?

Your insight is searingly vicious, yet oh so true.
I know I’ve told you this before, but my number one complaint with Hollywood is the perpetuation that marriage is completely disposable.
I am hardly some right-wing crusader, but DAMN if I don’t see the simplicity in the sanctity of marriage. Why bother keeping same-sex couples from marrying, when we can’t even keep regular man and wife marriages working?
Ok, rant over.

Thanks, d…I remember reading somewhere where Pink said that they weren’t getting along, they needed their space, it wasn’t like it was when they first got together.
NODUH!!!
YA THINK???
Can’t we have some sort of litmus test before a person becomes a celebrity?

Feh. You think that being apart because of work would actually be a good thing, especially if they “need space…”
It’s usually a bad sign when each partner thinks that THEY are the most important component in the relationship.
Isn’t it funny that the only sort of “compromising” for celebs seems to have more to do with the positions they are constantly be finding themselves in than to anything they’d do for each other.
