Scott Weiland and Mary Forsberg
The Stone Temple Pilots frontman and the model were married for seven years, but it wasn't without its share or tumult. A year after their wedding, Weiland was arrested on domestic violence charges (which were eventually deferred), and after an altercation in 2007 Forsberg lit $10,000 worth of her husband’s clothing on fire in their front yard. The couple divorced shortly thereafter
