Love vs Controversy, a match made in hell?

Normally I wouldn't post about pop culture as I don't really care for it at all but I read something on facebook from a friend of a friend who is basically my friend (at least on facebook that's the case with Shahlaa Tahira) but I digress. The reason for this blog entry is because it was brought to my attention that the ever arrogant & ever controversial rapper Kanye West got married to a lady by the name of Kim Kara, Karadishi-something or other, but for me that's the irrelevant part. Congrats to him getting married but from his public persona he's probably better off getting married to himself, or at least his blimp-like ego, but I digress again. My question is, can those who are controversial stay happily married. I know Kanye has courted controversy before with his 'George Bush does not like Black people' line, stealing a trophy from some young girl etc, and i've heard that the new 'Miss West' (which sounds like some inner city beauty paegent winner to me) has been embroiled in controversy herself before so i'm thinking to myself, 'this can't possibly last'. I've recently seen blogs by another Facebook friend of mine (Umbreen Ali that's a shout out for ya) about celebrity culture and that kind of thing which is much more her realm than mine but I think to myself, 2 people who court controversy will only court more controversy which will not only speed up, but could guarantee a break down of any relationship, much less one that will constantly be in the public eye and to my knowledge most 'celebrity' relationships don't last anyway. For me it's doomed to fail, but I wish anyone who gets married happiness, as I'd love to find it myself (ladies form an orderly queue, single file please) and for the apparent $20m they spent on the wedding, hopefully it doesn't end up like Britney Spears' Vegas vacation. It's short, it's sharp & slightly kneejerk, but I'm Straight Shootin' LJA and that's my opinion
