 Elizabeth Hurley with Arun Nayar (Agencies) |

Celebrities whose marriages appear on the front page of a magazine are more than twice as likely to get divorced, according to a study. One in six couples (16 percent) whose wedding featured on the cover of Hello! magazine in the past decade were divorced within six years, compared with a national average of 7 percent. However, the magazine rejected the suggestion that appearing in its pages was a "curse". Many couples agree for the weekly title to photograph their wedding ceremony, in deals said to attract large payments and an option for security to prevent anyone intruding on the occasion. Liz Hurley, the actress, and Arun Nayar, the Indian textile heir, who appeared on the cover twice in 2007, were married for four years before divorcing. Their nuptials cost a reported ￡2 million, said to have been partly funded by the magazine. Kim Kardashian, a US reality television contestant, was married for less time than any of the other celebrities to feature in the magazine. Her wedding to Kris Humphries, a basketball player, appeared on the title's front page last August. She filed for divorce after 72 days. The advantages of having a wedding featured in Hello! can include a generous cheque and a formidable security option to prevent the public - and rival publications - catching a sneak glimpse of the bride. Rosie Nixon, editor of the magazine, said: "The 'curse of Hello!' is a ridiculous concept and totally unfounded." But Kay Goddard, a former editor, said: “Perhaps they should put a clause in the contract that celebrity couples who divorce within a certain time should repay some of their fee.” (Agencies)

研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，婚禮照片被登上雜志封面的名人離婚的幾率要比其他名人高出兩倍以上。 過去的十年里，那些婚禮圖片登上《Hello!》雜志封面的夫婦有六分之一（16%）在六年內(nèi)就離婚了。而英國六年內(nèi)離婚的名人夫婦比例平均為7%。 然而，該雜志否認(rèn)登上封面是詛咒的說法。 許多夫婦同意讓周刊為自己的婚禮攝像，一是為了得到大筆報(bào)酬，二是有嚴(yán)格的安保措施，防止其他任何人闖入婚禮現(xiàn)場。 女演員麗茲?赫莉和印度紡織大頭繼承人阿倫?納雅爾曾于2007年兩度登上雜志封面，他倆婚后才過了四年就離婚了。據(jù)報(bào)道，他們的婚禮花費(fèi)了200萬英鎊，據(jù)稱其中一部分費(fèi)用是由《Hello!》雜志資助的。 美國真人秀選手金?卡戴珊的婚姻比其他任何婚照登上雜志封面的名人都要短暫。她和籃球運(yùn)動(dòng)員克里斯?亨弗里斯的婚禮圖片于去年八月份登上雜志封面，僅過了72天她就提出了離婚訴訟。 婚禮圖片登上《Hello!》雜志的好處包括一張豐厚的支票，以及為防止公眾和出版界對(duì)手偷拍新娘，會(huì)采用嚴(yán)格的安保措施。 該雜志的編輯羅茜?尼克森說：“‘Hello的詛咒’一說根本是不經(jīng)之談，完全沒有根據(jù)。” 但是前編輯凱伊?戈達(dá)德說：“也許他們應(yīng)該在合同中加一個(gè)條款：凡是在一定時(shí)間內(nèi)離婚的名人夫婦都應(yīng)返還部分費(fèi)用。” 相關(guān)閱讀 （中國日?qǐng)?bào)網(wǎng)英語點(diǎn)津 陳丹妮 編輯：Julie） |
