Ricki-Lee Splits From Husband!

Ricki-Lee and her husband Jamie are calling it quits after only a year? How this story floated past me on Friday afternoon is beyond my comprehension. I am strongly obsessed with Ricki-Lee, celebrity divorces, and people with the surname ‘Babbington’ who have recently been mistakenly identified as a straight boy jacking off for the pervy delight of The Homosexuals TM who frequent dirty websites.

Says the Herald Sun:

Another day, another showbiz split… with news that Ricki-Lee Coulter is to separate from her husband Jamie Babbington, after just a year of marriage.

The couple issued a joint statement this afternoon, citing distance and time apart as reasons for their split. The couple have stressed that the split is of an amicable nature and that they fully intend to remain friends, after spending more than seven years together.

Which is quite sweet, I suppose, but I bet they’re now starting to wish they’d worked out they were better off as friends before the tabloid sponsored wedding extravaganza of last September.

Will this latest event in the increasingly monitored life of pop-and-television star Ricki-Lee lead to the former Young Diva to the comforting arms of a journalist, where she’ll be able to share her feelings about something slightly more dramatic than mouldy bread? Was the Coulter-Babbington union cursed from the beginning when her former bandmates were too busy gallivanting around Uganda with orphans to actually turn up and give their personal blessings at the nuptials?

So many questions!

But Defamer Australia extends its sympathies to both Ricki-Lee and Jamie, and sincerely hope the pair make it through the following tumultuous and newly solo months. I suppose the stompin’ poptastic tune ‘Can’t Touch It’ is going to be an especially poignant song for Jamie Babbington these days.
