singer Sinead O'Connor's fourth marriage has ended in divorce
after just 18 days. O'Connor married child psychologist Barry
Herridge on December 8th, her 45th birthday, in a drive-thru ceremony
in Las Vegas after dating for one week. O'Connor met Herridge
online after he responded to her much-publicized search for a
"wham-bam" sexual encounter. In a statement O'Connor
said she chose to end the marriage after two weeks because she
felt her new husband was "terribly unhappy" due to conflict
from members of his family regarding the marriage. This was
O'Connor's 2nd divorce in 2011, her third marriage, to Steve
Cooney, had ended in divorce in January.

Fueling
speculations of reunion from Guns n' Roses classic line-up at
their Rock-and-Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, singer Axl
Rose has dropped hints that he would be willing to perform with
some, but not all, of his former band-mates. Rose told
the LA Times that he would consider reuniting with former guitarist
Slash and bassist Duff McKagan, but not rhythm
guitarist Izzy Stradlin or drummer Steven Adler. "It's
nothing against Izzy and it's nothing against Steven," Rose
said "[however] I've toured with the other guys and I’ve
also seen what they’ve done since, and I just know the
difficulties. So it’s not really even a full reunion." Rose
also said that he and Slash had been "...at war since
Day 1...the fight with me and Slash started the day I met him. "
