LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Another celebrity couple has fallen prey to the curse of MTV. Rock star Travis Barker and his Playboy Playmate wife Shanna Moakler, the stars of MTV reality show "Meet the Barkers," are calling it quits after less than two years of marriage, People magazine reported on Tuesday.

Barker, 30, mohawked drummer with defunct punk-rock trio Blink-182, married Moakler, 31, in October 2004. Their wacky domestic exploits were detailed on "Meet the Barkers," which aired on the lifestyle programming network for 12 episodes.

They have two children together. Additionally, Moakler has a daughter from a previous relationship with boxer Oscar De La Hoya. A former Miss USA, the Rhode Island native was Playboy's Playmate of the Month in December 2001. At the time, she was dating actor Dennis Quaid, who was 21 years her senior.

3. I love the article's categorization of MTV:

"lifestyle programming network"

Perfect. Because it goes without saying that MTV has nothing to do with actual music.
