1. She was discovered in the crowd at a Canadian football game, and later went on to stardom on internationally popular jiggledrama Baywatch.

• For proving that every Loni Anderson thinks she's Julia Roberts: -1

• For inadvertently starting the releasing-a-sex-tape-to-boost-your-fame trend: -1

• But for at least having the good sense to release her tape when one could still reasonably pretend to be embarrassed by it: +2

When Stars Split: The Methodology

When you're a fully-fledged celebrity, doing nothing in your spare time but appearing on talk shows and soaking up free champagne at movie premieres, it stands to reason that the only people you ever meet are other celebrities. Hence: The All-Celebrity Hook-up, which very often makes a successful transition to The All-Celebrity Relationship.

But the overwhelming majority of All-Celebrity Relationships carry the seeds of their own destruction: each mate is forever being exposed to other likely prospects, the public gets bored seeing the same two faces together all the time, and let's face it: breakups get much more press than happy marriages do.

When Stars Split is a service of Fametracker for celebrities ending their relationships with other celebrities. Fametracker will use this space to determine who in recently busted-up celeb/celeb pairings leaves the partnership with the advantage, and who leaves used-up and broken-down.

1. Born in 1971 near Detroit, this one-time rapper found mainstream success with "Bawitdaba" in 1998.

2. Later, he escaped the one-hit wonder label and enjoyed a follow-up hit with the country-tinged Sheryl Crow duet "Picture."

• For escaping the one-hit wonder label: +3
• For doing it by recording a duet with Sheryl Crow: -1

Despite his Mate Rating above, we actually like Kid Rock. Not his music, but his laid-back approach to celebrity, which seems to evolved from being a failed-white-rapper- cum-cracker-rock-proprietor- cum-halfway-decent-country-music-star. He's always seemed to treat fame less like something he deserves and more like the punchline to a pretty good practical joke. And after all that, he still calls himself Kid Rock! He does not, however, call himself Mr. Pamela Anderson. (Nor does she call herself Pam Anderson Lee Rock, sadly.) Wham, Bam, Thank You Pam will weather all this much better than the Kid will, of course. Over the course of her remarkable, iconic career, she's always displayed an unnatural buoyancy.
