We live in a world where Celebrity dominates. Aspiring to it or disgusted by it, it is an unavoidable presence across all areas of the media. The argument is that if you seek and achieve public recognition and the accompanying wealth and success, it is fair game for less glamorous areas of your life to be investigated.
This week the state of Cheryl Cole's marriage has been all over the tabloids and with her massively increased public profile since Ashley's last adventure, with her X Factor exposure and successful launch as a soloist, the Nation will be clamouring for her to get rid of her errant husband. This may not be an entirely protective mechanism to look after the new Nation's treasure, but may more likely be fuelled by an ever increasing list of those prepared to step into Ashley's shoes!
Bookmakers Paddy Power, recognising the power of Celebrity, are offering a series of bets on who will be the next famous couple to divorce. In Cheryl's case this may be justified as a supportive gamble rather than a macabre punt on misery and heartbreak.
Unsurprisingly Tiger Woods is second favourite. With the numbers of skeletons popping out of his particular closet it is hard to believe that his wife Elin is prepared to contine with such a huge array of baggage in her life, even if she undoubtedly she has the mansions to house it!

Unsurprisingly John Terry is thought to be vulnerable to an imminent red card, although it seems Toni looks willing to work with yellow at the moment, but with reports of phone indiscretions by Vernon Kaye, he and Tess Daly are an unexpected inclusion.
Katie Price married for all of 3 weeks is on the list but it is quite possible she placed herself on it. Not that her marriage to Alex Reid looks solid, just that Miss Price cannot bear the thought of being excluded from any list!
Angelina Joli and Brad whose separaton was hot news around christmas, are thought to be less likely to be divorcing imminently. This may be more of an acknowledgement of the inevitable legal complications with six children involved than of a clear sign of reconciliation.
If Cheryl Cole pays attention to the heartfelt pleas of her increasing army of fans, she will get shot of Ashley and ensure her fans are a little wealthier with a successful punt.
