Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor at the premiere of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa in L.A. (10/2008)

I guess I wasn't the only one who though Night at the Museum 2 sucked. Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor have split up. From Janet Charlton's Hollywood:

We didn’t see this one coming. According to an inside source, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor have put their house on the market for a good reason: they’re splitting up. No one knows yet, but they put their Los Angeles compound up for sale at 12.5 million because Christine supposedly wants OUT of the marriage. Workaholic Ben might have spent TOO MANY nights at the museum. It’s sad because they have two young kids. Ben is said to be heartbroken and working hard to change her mind, but right now they’re living separately.

If a hot blonde and a multi-millionaire actor can't make it in Hollywood, what hope is there for the rest of us? Considering the fact that in Tinseltown it's usually the guy that trades in the wife for a newer model, Ben must have done something absolutely unforgivable for Christine to have left him -- like cheat on her with her sister, or even worse, not written a letter of gushing support for Roman Rolanski.
