Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson Getting Divorced!

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds have decided to call it quits! The pair were only married in 2008 in a secret ceremony, because they didn't want it to be a public spectacle. Maybe they should have let the public in - maybe the marriage would have lasted longer! There is a rash of splits from stars this week - what is going on? Is it the pre-holiday blues?

There is one glitch with Ryan and Scarlett's split - well, maybe a couple of glitches. But this one involves a movie they were both working on. It is called The Whale and it is due for release in the summer of 2011. Will it still be finished?

Sources close to the pair say it will be released. The story is a real life narrative, where cameras follow an orca whale on its journey from British Columbia after it gets separated from its pod. Ryan is the narrator of the story and Scarlett and Ryan are both named as Executive Producers. If the movie is released, then they would have to make nice in front of the cameras for several red carpet events. Could they be professional enough to do it?

Many other divorced stars have had to play nice for the public. Since Ryan and Scarlett didn't have time for any kids, they really don't have anything to fight over, which is probably a good thing. Unless there is some secret that has yet to be turned over to the public for consumption.

What do you think caused their split? Schedule conflicts or other interests?
