The holiday season is a time for coming together and reminding your loved ones how much you appreciate having them in your life. But for some, the holidays can be full of tension and strife, and if you're a celebrity, apparently that means ending your relationship. This week, news has broken of break-ups between Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens and "Dexter" stars Michael C. Hall and Vanessa Hudgens, and on Tuesday (December 14), MTV News received confirmation that Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson were getting a divorce. It's a sad end for a movie couple who had the potential to be one of the most iconic of all time, especially considering both had recently been lauded for being the sexiest representatives of their respective genders.

This is the second time Reynolds has been involved in a high-profile break-up. In 2007, Reynolds ended his longtime relationship with singer Alanis Morissette. The pair had dated since 2002 and had been engaged since 2004, though they never actually tied the knot. When the relationship ended, Morissette penned the album Flavors of Entanglement, which was essentially 11 songs unpacking her entire time with Reynolds (a process that Morissette once described as "cathartic").

In addition to being an actress, Johansson has also dabbled in music. She released an album in 2008 called Anywhere I Lay My Head that was produced by TV On the Radio's Dave Sitek and consisted mostly of covers of songs by Tom Waits. There was one original composition ("Song for Jo"), and Johansson has said that when she goes back to the recording well again, she would be working only with her own songs. Will Johansson channel her feelings about the end of her marriage into a hit record? Only time will tell.

As for Morissette, she's now happily married and pregnant with her first child. Though Flavors of Entanglement wasn't a huge hit, it did have some pretty sweet songs, including the powerful "Not As We."
