Popsquire

According to TMZ, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge has annulled the marriage between Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon. Because faithful Popsquire followers are curious cats, you are dying to know the difference between and divorce and an annulment…

1. A divorce ends your marriage. You can get a divorce if you say you have “irreconcilable differences” with your spouse. You don’t have to give the court any other reason. It doesn’t matter who is at fault.
2. In an annulment, a judge can say that a marriage is not legally valid for a variety of reasons, including: (a) the marriage is incestuous; (b) bigamy has been committed; or (c) the union is fraudulent. To get an annulment, you must be able to prove to the judge that one of these reasons (among others) is true. This makes an annulment case very different from a divorce, because “irreconcilable differences” cannot serve as the basis for getting an annulment.

Popsquire is worried. If these two couldn’t make it work, who can?!? Like Sheila E. says, “the glamorous life without love/it ain’t much.”
