Beard/merkin arrangement collapses after just 4 months

280_jesposito_bcooper_070105_72415915.jpgBradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito’s beard/merkin marriage has failed after a mere four months. The two B listers were hitched around the holidays last year after what we (and, presumably, Victor Garber) considered a rather surprising courtship.

No word on who’s getting custody of the couple’s numerous failed pilots and TV series, but we do know that Cooper just finished filming a movie with Renee Zellweger. Wait a minute - maybe she needs a new gay husband! And Esposito just shot a pilot with Christina Applegate, so if it goes to series, perhaps the two can commiserate on how hard it is to make a marriage work when your husband is prettier than you.

Hilariously, Cooper’s rep admits that the two have been separated “for quite a while,” which, in a 4-month marriage, kind of suggests that they weren’t really that serious about it in the first place.
