Friday List: Celebrity Odd Couples

jake gyllenhall (geigh) and reese witherspoon.

SJParker and M. Broderick (geigh)

John Travolta (geigh) and K. Preston

Elsa Lanchester and Charles Laughton (geigh)

If MJ and PA are hanging out together, it's probably more because MJ is getting ideas for his next surgical procedure. Maybe he thinks no one will notice when he shows up with DD cups.

Linda Evans and Yanni

Michael Jackson and Brooke Shields
Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe
Michael Jackson and the kid from Webster

Charlie Chaplin and 18-year-old Oona O'Neill

Maybe he thinks no one will notice when he shows up with DD cups.

At least they'll stop looking at his nose.

Doing some research on this subject, I came across this:

Hilary Duff & Joel Madden: Even beyond the age difference, these two always seemed like polar opposites — he a pierced, tattooed rocker, she a perky pop star. After their relationship crumbled, Joel wasted no time moving on to a woman more his speed: Nicole Richie, whom Hilary reportedly calls a “skank.”

Its from 2006 before Celebritology time. Talk about an odd couple

Tanya Tucker and Glen Campbell
Merle Haggard and the ex Mrs. Buck Owens

Isn't Bo Derek with a much younger celebrity? John Corbett comes to mind, Chris in the Morning from Northern Exposure? ... Well now, I had to google them to be sure and she's 52 and he's about my age (46) and somehow I thought I was much younger. Five years hardly makes her a cougar. I guess they just seem like they'd run in different circles. But then I thought Brad Pitt and Jennifer were on odd mix at first. He did Big Movies and she was so Friends. What do I know?

Oh, and Julia Roberts married Lyle Lovett. That seemed rather odd-couple at the time. I heart Lyle.

Joe Pesci and Angie Everhart

How about Emma Watson and Johnny Borrell?

I think we can agree that Micheal Jackson and ANY female star are an odd couple.

The thing is, I just can't picture Michael with anyone at all. He's completely asexual and possibly built like a Ken doll.

In terms of looks, Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett (although I think he's adorable)

Or at least we all hope he's built like a Ken doll, given his errr, fascination with children.

Woody Allen and Diane Keaton

David Spade and any female with good eyesight and good hearing.

Matthew McConaughey and any female with a decent sense of smell.

Amy Winehouse and anything that doesn't come in a bottle or a syringe.

Any human -- male or female -- and Carrot Top.

Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia always freakes me out a little.

And along the same lines as MJ and anyone else, Anne Heche and anyone else is always interesting.

This reminds me that I saw a photo today of Mickey Rourke and Evan Rachel Wood posing for pix in Vienna to plug his film, "The Wrestler."
http://www.filmgecko.com/mickey-rourke-evan-rachel-wood-arrive-in-venice-to-premiere-the-wrestler/

Byoolin reminded me:

Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood.

Stacy London and Clinton Kelly of What Not to Wear.

Judging and bragging is what the OP is all about. Pay attention!

I never could believe Mia Farrow was married to Frank Sinatra. Seems very wrong.

I couldn't access the gallery so apologies if this is a repeat:

Cher and Tom Cruise are supposed to have dated back in the day (v. weird IMHO)

Any couple where one partner guested on the other's TV show while they were together, but they've since split. For example:

While channel-surfing this week, I came across Denise Richards on an episode of "2 1/2 Men."

It's now also painful to see Brad Pitt's otherwise charming performance on "Friends" as a high school nemesis of Rachel's.

Larry King and Shawn Southwick

Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese (although I do know someone who dated him that had glowing things to say about his... attributes)

Michael Douglas (kinda distinguished in a Martin Sheenish way, but still, old) and Catherine Zeta-Jones (hott.)

David Spade and Heather Locklear and Ryan Seacrest and the actress from Desparate Housewives (I'm blanking on the name) seemed like odd pairings.

anna nicole and that old dude

which one of you posted on the OP blog as
"Full of baloney" at 1:24 PM ????

Didn't anyone ever warn Mary-Kate about that cautionary tale about the time Fatty and Skinny went to bed?

Ryan Seacrest and the actress from Desparate Housewives (I'm blanking on the name)

That would be Teri Hatcher.

skirting that delicate intersection of celebrity and politics...

Bernard Kerrick and Judith Regan

Sarah Jessica Parker and John Kennedy Jr.

Liz Taylor and John Warner

And I'm still stumped over Arnold and Maria Schwartzenegger

Brangelina

Cary Grant & Dyan Cannon

Posted by: for Tee Hee | September 5, 2008 2:23 PM

Lady Di and Prince Charles

Anybody with a "clean" bill of health and John Mayer

Madonna and Warren Beatty

Sonny & Cher

Cher and Tom Cruise

Cher and Richie Sambora

Dude I totally just got sidetracked wondering what Mickey Rourke looks like - who doesn't have blushing memories of watching 9 1/2 weeks curiously with your SO...

man either I have a bad memory or he has NOT aged well...

Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett
Drew Barrymore and Tom Green (gag me)
Paris Hilton and anyone not wishing to contract veneral disease.

And I thought the gallery alone was good. May I add, from the olden days:

* Vincente Minnelli and Judy Garland (speaking of Liza and David -- is it any wonder she married a man kinda like Dad?)

* Ernest Borgnine and Ethel Merman (you gotta love the idea of Ethel singing "there's no business like show business" to McHale in bed)

* George C. Scott and Colleen Dewhurst (Campbell Scott is their son; he seems so happy compared to such dour parents)

* Cary Grant and Randolph Scott (I know, it's just a rumor, but those poolside photos of the two of them, I mean, c'mon)

Rachel Hunter and Rod Stewart

How come Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley are in that gallery but Lisa Marie and Nicolas Cage aren't? I think the latter is almost more bizarre, considering that some saw the union as his winning the ultimate prize considering he's such a devoted (obsessed?) Elvis fan/memorabilia collector.

ok here's one: French President Sarkozy and Carla Bruni

"Cher and Tom Cruise are supposed to have dated back in the day (v. weird IMHO)

Posted by: spartan | September 5, 2008 1:43 PM "

Not so weird if you acknowledge that a lot of geigh men like Cher....

To stating the obvious,

Brangelina make a perfect couple. Too very good looking, nice, rich, and charitable people.
And I can very much imagine them together. In fact I am imagining it right now! (only I'm Brad.)

well no one stated the most obvious so I guess I will....Jack Klugman and Tony Randall.

At the risk of attracting a lot of political wonks (more hits, Liz):

Sarah Palin and John McCain.

Christie Brinkley & Billy Joel
Robin Wright & Sean Penn

ARod and Madonna

Speaking of politics, Dennis & Elizabeth Kucinich.

Marty Stuart and Connie Smith. Sort of the country reverse of M. Douglas and C. Zeta-Jones.

John Lennon and Yoko Ono
Paul McCartney and Heather Mills
Billy Joel and the young chick he's with now.
Jessica and Roger Rabbit

"ok here's one: French President Sarkozy and Carla Bruni

Posted by: hodie | September 5, 2008 3:07 PM"

Sarkozy and Bruni are the 21st century Jack Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe. Or to go back further, Ludwig II and Lola Montez

james franco (geigh) and his "girlfriend"

vin diesel (geigh) and his "girlfriend"

the rock (geigh) and his "girlfriend"

SJP and Robert Downey jr.

I think these posters that think all of these guys are geigh are actually geigh themselves and just have wishful thinking.
Travolta, Broderick, Cruise, etc., all NOT geigh.

Stacy London and Clinton Kelly of What Not to Wear.

Posted by: Sasquatch says, "Shut uuuppp!" | September 5, 2008 1:41 PM

Stacy and Clinton are a couple??? I thought Clinton was geigh!

Oh and anyone who thinks Vin Diesel or The Rock are gay is flat out stupid.

Travolta & Cruise are closeted by Scientology, but West Hollywood knows their truth.

Stacy London and Clinton Kelly are a perfect (working) couple. Stacy London and her original co-host on the other hand...

Ric Ocasek and Paulina Porizkova
Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford
Eddie Murphy and Melanie Brown
John McEnroe and Tatum O'Neal
Steven Spielberg and Amy Irving

people, seriously, check out the last couple of comments on the OP blog. i dont think it can get any worse.

So Stacy and Clinton are a couple??? I think thats great if they are, they're perfect for each other, that is if Clinton's not geigh. By the way, theirs is another show for people who love snark. They will give it to people right to their face, but at the same time they are sensitive to the "nancy" types.

did you have to go and reference Nancy? Now we're gonna get a million posts from her saying she's hurt and in tears, etc.

Iman and David Bowie. Love them both, but I would never picture them together.

I know someone who did WNTW and Stacy and Clinton are NOT a romantic couple. They're both super nice, however!

As for Wayne, Stacy's original partner, the way he dressed was atrocious!

I agree MoCo. Wayne nearly lost the show its credibility. Could he have been a relative of Sasquatch?

cool! tell us about your friend! did she like it? whats it like being on the show?

And if you believe a word on myconfinedspace.com you are not only very stupid, you are very gullible as well.

Or should I say, my gosh, if myconfinedspace.com says it, it must be true? lol

I also know someone who was on the show. Clinton is very geigh and very nice.

Ellen and Portia? I'm all for "geigh" marriage, but maybe it's that they look like relatives.

How about Mudge Curmudgeon and Sir Sean Connery . . .

(Curmudgwon????)

Geez, someone share the WNTW experiences! or what their friends thought! did they keep it up?

Donald Trump and any woman. I don't care how much money he has that's just not right.

Pauly Shore and any woman.

George Clooney and anyone but me!

I was watching "Heat" the other night and I thought that Robert DeNiro's character and the actress from Judging Amy was a horrible casting couple.

I'll bet Pamela Anderson is tired of guys drooling down her shirt and would like to be treated as a human. That's why women love gay men: they know they're liked for themselves (or, god forbid, their kid brothers).

I love Jonah Hill, and the absolutely most eligible bachelor is Seth Rogan.

It's super late and I can't believe nobody's said Heidi Klum and Seal, or Jay-Z and Beyonce.

I was in Seattle this past weekend and went to the Bumbershoot festival. Standing next to us in the beer garden were the odd couple David Cross and Amber Tamblyn. At a few different times I looked over to see them making out. Very strange, especially since he is about twice her age and awesome, whereas she just needs to go away.
