In 2002, former American League MVP Jason Giambi left the Oakland A’s for the NY Yankees. That same year, multi-platinum R&B star R. Kelly was indicted on 21 counts of having intercourse with a minor. In 2008, Giambi signed a deal to return to the A’s and Kelly was found not guilty of all charges. Both men were born on January 8th. Click on the photo to find out who’s older.

There’s been a lot of hanky panky going around in Hollywood lately. It’s been alleged, for instance, that David Duchovny cheated on wife Tea Leoni by volleying private parts with his tennis instructor — a rumor he vehemently denies. It’s also been alleged that he’s divorcing Leoni because she played a similar game with Billy Bob Thornton. Then there’s Balthazar Getty hooking up with Sienna Miller (a.k.a, the SLUT), Paris Hilton shaking her bony ass for Prince William and rumors of Justin “Bobby” Brescia hooking up with Lauren Conrad behind Audrina Patridge’s back. The nerve!
In light of sneaky sexual relations, we’ve culled together five music videos of the “Me And Mrs. Jones” variety. Watch them all after the jump.

Looks like Madge and her Material husband are no more. After years of rumors as to the unhappiness of the pair, Madge’s “affair of the heart” this summer with Yankee Alex Rodriguez, and the fact that Madonna’s been everywhere but her adopted home of London using that fake accent of hers, we’ve been pretty sure trouble’s been brewing for a while. But the pair stuck it out for eight years, which is a lot longer than most celebrity couples stay married.
In the gallery below, we’ve put together some of the all-time shortest celebrity marriages. From Britney’s Vegas quickie to Barrymore’s bar nuptials, these folks have proven they *are* just like us, by making really dumb mistakes. From those that were hitched for hours to months, find out which of your favorite celebs said “I do,” only to have their lawyers tell them they didn’t.

Who: Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney
Length: 4 months
Irreconcilable Differences: The low-key country singer and the sour-faced actress met in January, married in May and were separated by September – an incredibly efficient public break-up. Renee claimed "fraud" when she filed for their union to be annulled, which makes us think she neglected to peak under that cowboy hat.
He Says: Looks like Kenny was a little surprised by the split. Three years later, Kenny's latest record features songs about Zellweger. "[The break-up] was horrible. It took awhile. Years."
Who: Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock
Length: 4 months
Irreconcilable Differences: She says he humiliated her at a screening for her film Borat, calling her a whore. He says she lied about having a miscarriage and flipped out when he opted to see the Lakers over her. The couple spent more time talking trash about each other after they separated than they did married.
He Says: "I knew it was a bad career move to get involved with her because your life becomes a circus — because that's what she wants is media attention," Rock said.
Who: Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley
Length: 3 months and 15 days
Irreconcilable Differences: The fact that your husband might be marrying you solely for proximity to your dead father who he's obsessed with, or that your wife was once married to Michael Jackson should have been warning signs for both Presley and Cage. Add in the fact that Nic reportedly chucked Lisa Marie's several-thousand-dollar engagement ring into the ocean during their engagement, and we bet the psychic that married Drew Barrymore could have told you it wouldn't work.
She Said: "I'm sad about this, but we shouldn't have been married in the first place. It was a big mistake," said Presley, the day after Cage filed for divorce.
Who: R. Kelly and Aaliyah
Length: Undetermined (Under 3 months)
Irreconcilable Differences: A 15-year-old Aaliyah and her producer, R. Kelly, practiced what they preached on her debut Age Ain't Nothing But A Number – the two were secretly married sometime during the production of the album. In documents produced years later, the couple allegedly lied about Aaliyah's age, stating she was 18 at the time. Obviously, this did nothing for Kelly's whole "peeing on underage girls" court case.
She Said: "I'm not married right now," said the singer, the only reported comment from either on the matter.
Who: Nicky Hilton and Todd Meister
Length: Under 3 months
Irreconcilable Differences: Surprisingly, bad things happen at 2:30 in the morning in Vegas, which is when heir-head Nicky Hilton and balding money manager Todd Meister strolled into the very same wedding chapel Brit used, and tied the knot. An old friend of the Hilton family, the pair got their marriage annulled because he was based in New York and she spent most of her time in Los Angeles. If this odd couple who got married on a whim can't make it work, what chance does anyone have?
She Says: "Paris orchestrated everything," Nicky told Stuff magazine of her nuptials. When in doubt, blame it on Paris.
Who: Darva Conger and Rick Rockwell
Length: 3 weeks
Irreconcilable Differences: We know – we were as shocked as you when the Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire? couple split. After competing among 49 other woman (and knowing each other for a total of 120 minutes), Rockwell married Conger on the spot. Immediately following their Barbados honeymoon, Conger filed for an annulment, stating that Rockwell's former fiancee had obtained a restraining order, and raising doubts as to his millionaire-dom.
She Says: After 36 hours, Conger called it off. Of her honeymoon, she told Diane Sawyer "The whole flight to Barbados, sitting next to Rick in first class, he slept and I cried. I looked down at this huge ring on my finger and it was -- you know, hurt me tremendously. I -- I was very angry at myself."
Who: Drew Barrymore and Jeremy Thomas
Length: 19 Days
Irreconcilable Differences: After two stints in rehab by the age of 14, Barrymore, a recovering alcoholic, would have done well to not marry bartender-turned-bar owner Jeremy Thomas, in a bar. The bad decisions just kept coming, however: the couple, who had known each other for six weeks, made the decision to marry at 5 a.m., and were married by a clairvoyant the couple contacted through a psychic hotline – like he didn't know it wasn't going to work.
She Says: "We're trying to figure out (living arrangements) now," Barrymore told People soon after her nuptials. "Usually people live together first and then get married. I guess we're doing it the old-fashioned way. Kind of." No need to work out those living arrangements, Drew.
Who: Ali Landry and Mario Lopez
Length: 14 Days
Irreconcilable Differences: Just two weeks after the Doritos girl and the shirtless wonder got hitched, Landry dumped Lopez, who had a history of infidelity. Throughout the course of their relationship Landry was warned of Lopez's roving eye, but indiscretions committed the week of the wedding caused Landry to kick him to the curb.
She Says: "I thought I had my life figured out and all of a sudden, the rug was ripped out from under me," Landry said, following the divorce. Worst part? They had to cancel the Oprah segment. You know how hard it is to snag the "dream wedding" segment on Oprah? We guess it's not harder than keeping it in your pants for more than a week of marriage.
Who: Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman
Length: 9 Days
Irreconcilable Differences: Though they dated for several months prior, the gruesome twosome got married under some bizarre circumstances. First, it happened in Vegas. Second, Rodman was reportedly so drunk he couldn't stand. Then Rodman reportedly told everyone of said inebriation, meaning to discredit their marriage. Then Rodman issued a handwritten, two-line statement saying, "I apologize for any false statements given on my behalf regarding my marriage to Carmen Electra." Then he and Electra filed for an annulment.
He Says: "We had great sex! We used to just throw down in the bedroom. We had a real good connection when it came to sex." Like you had any doubts he was a total gentleman.
Who: Britney Spears and Jason Alexander
Length: 55 hours
Irreconcilable Differences: The pop tart and her high school classmate got hitched during a wild weekend in Vegas, and within hours their union was annulled. Stating she "lacked understanding of her actions" as rationale behind the annulment, it also reportedly came with a fair bit of hush money. That didn't work.
He Says: After keeping quiet in the initial hopes that they'd "get back together," Alexander dished the dirt to the British tabloids, talking about their evenings of "mind-blowing...rough sex" and Brit's body. What happens in Vegas...

R. Kelly gave his first interview since his sex trial to BET yesterday, and it might be the last time he talks about the years-long adventure in litigation. “It’s time for me to move on,” said the Pied Pisser of R&B. “I can’t keep answering these questions. If you was charged with something and you was found innocent, then you can’t be found guilty for being found innocent.” So true!
Despite the inability to be found guilty of being found innocent, Kelly is still wary of admitting his comfort with underage flesh. When interviewer Toure asked if he liked teenage girls, Kelly responded brusquely, “Nineteen? I have some 19-year-old fans. I don’t like anybody illegal, if that’s what you’re talking about.” It sounds like R. Kelly is the only r&b star who doesn’t remember Aaliyah, the late singer/actor he married in the mid-90s, when she was only 15.
Blessed by this lapse in memory, Kells hopes the trial will have a “positive impact” on his career. “If the 12 people who didn’t know me, after hearing the facts and listening to everything, could find me innocent, [I hope that] people around the world could do the same thing.” Actually, they found him “not guilty.” It’s a slight—but important—difference.

R. Kelly likes ‘em young. The dude married his late protégé, Aaliyah, in 1994, when the singer had barely put away her My Little Pony dolls; he also penned a little ditty for her called “Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number.” However, the Pied Piper of R&B was shocked to discover someone who looked very much like him pissing on a girl who looked very much like a 14-year-old girl in a sex video that surfaced in 2002.
The tape went viral online after it was anonymously mailed to the Chicago Sun-Times and street vendors did a steady business selling bootleg DVDs of the felonious tryst. Kelly was eventually indicted for 21 counts of sex with a minor, but after much legal haggling, the charges were reduced to 14 kiddie-porn-related offenses. The platinum-selling artist went from believing to he could fly to confessing that “Bin Laden is the only one who knows exactly what I’m going through.”
Despite a seemingly slam-dunk case against him, Kelly, in 2008, was acquitted of all charges. — Charles Bottomley
