AND NOW FOR THE TOP TEN:

10. Selena Gomez and Taylor Lautner

Everyone was so excited to see Selena Gomez and Taylor Lautner looking all cutesy while they were both shooting films in Vancouver this summer.  But apparently, that relationship did NOT work out, as it only lasted a couple months, and Taylor quickly moved on to Selena’s nicer, cuter friend, Taylor Swift, whom he appears to be VERY serious about!

9. Selena Gomez and Nick Jonas

Selena started dating Miley Cyrus’s ex, Nick Jonas in the summer of 2008.  The relationship was kept fairly quiet, but it was definitely made well-known that the pair had broken up in the summer of 2009.  Good thing too, I think Miley would’ve eventually taken Selena DOWN.

8. Joe Jonas and Camilla Belle

Joe Jonas and Camilla Belle had been dating for almost a year (mostly on the downlow) when they suddenly broke up this July.  There were rumors that Camilla had been dating a spanish tennis player on the side, which is what might have caused the split.  The saddest thing about this breakup was that right after it happened, Joe Jonas was in concert and began to sing “Much Better,” which was a song he wrote about being in love with Camilla, when he started CRYING on stage.  Emo.

7. Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia

Hayden and Milo were another scandalous couple at the beginning of their relationship.  Hayden reportedly broke up with her boyfriend Stephen Coletti to date her Heroes co-star Milo, who was 29 while Hayden was only 17.  They dated for two years before breaking up in 2009.  Sad, I loved them.

6. Alex Rodriguez and Kate Hudson

Alex Rodriguez and Kate Hudson seemed like a weird coupling to begin with, but I thought maybe they had something in common.  I mean, they’re both serial daters right?  The pair were said to be in a serious relationship, but they just broke up a couple weeks ago for reasons that remain unknown.  I’m sure they’ll both be with new people before the new year.

5. Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli

Victoria Secret model Bar Refaeli and Leonardo DiCaprio had been dating three years before they broke up in the middle of 2009.  Apparently she has been taking the breakup pretty hard, while Leo has returned to his womanizing ways.

4. Kristen Stewart and Michael Angarano

While the rumors of Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson being a couple have been going on since the filming of the first Twilight film began, believe it or not Kristen was still dating her longtime boyfriend actor Michael Angarano up until June of 2009.  The second they broke up, Kristen was reportedly “together” with Rob.  Poor Michael.

3. Miley Cyrus and Justin Gaston

It was a huge scandal when their relationship started.  Miley was just 15 and Justin was an ancient 20 years old, but they quickly became one of the cutest couples of the year.  However, eventually Miley began to have a “wandering eye” (specifically for her old flame Nick Jonas) and the couple broke up at the beginning of the summer.

2. Jon Gosselin and Kate Gosselin

They were the golden parents of TLC…that is, until Jon started cheating and Kate began divorce precedings.  Now they are officially divorced, ready to start the new year as single parents!

1. Chris Brown and Rihanna

Chris Brown and Rihanna were one of the most loveable couples of 2008, and then they were the biggest news story of 2009 after Chris beat up Rihanna the night before the Grammys.

Not a day went by in 2009 that we didn’t hear about this breakup, so therefore I’m calling this the BIGGEST breakup of the year!
