the buzz log

Three months may not seem like a long time, but then again, things always move quicker in Hollywood. This may help explain the recent announcement that Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are planning a "trial marriage."

Translation: no wedding, but plenty of time to decide who gets control of the remote and takes out the trash. After three months together, Mayer and Aniston are playing house. And hey, in another three months, if things go well, then they can talk wedding. If not, they can always get trial divorced.

Speaking of not-so-happy endings, after their three-month romance, Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong decided to end it. According to Us Magazine, "There was no drama or ugliness - they just decided to end things...There is no hatred, just sadness."

No ugliness or drama? No, that only happens in six-month relationships.

Jamie Lynn Spears clearly believes in trials. First beau, then baby, and now the former "Zoey 101" star is reportedly planning a wedding by year's end to her finace and baby daddy, Casey Aldridge, according to OK Magazine.

The magazine also reports that, despite pesky tabloid rumors that Sarah Jessica Parker's husband Matthew Broderick, cheated on her, the two are said to have an "unconventional but successful union." Maybe they should have had a trial first.
