7. Tommy Lee and Heather Locklier

When they met, he was married and one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, so naturally, many assumed that she was just using him to further her career.

Sean Penn and Madonna were married in 1985 after they met on the set of her music video for “Material Girl” and, within weeks of meeting, he jetted off to Michigan with her to meet her parents. These two had a pretty intense relationship, so intense that when things were bad they were really bad. During their four-year union, there were numerous splits and spats. In 1987, she actually filed for divorce, only to withdraw the petition. No one was surprised when the marriage finally ended. It was stormy and violent and good only for gossip.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey Jr. dated from 1984 to 1991 and both of them have said that his drug and alcohol problems are what ended the relationship. Still, they dated for seven years, which is an awfully long time in Hollywood and they were also ridiculously cute together. If only he was able to get his act together sooner, who knows, maybe these two would still be together!
