Anne Hathaway looked superb on the red carpet for her new summer comedy “Get Smart” Monday night in Westwood. Maybe it wasn’t just her natural good looks or her beautiful strapless silver dress but a new weight off of her shoulders…such as her boyfriend of four years Raffaello Follieri. He may sound dreamy (and sure, easy on the eyes) but the Italian businessman , who along with Hathaway had strayed far from the tabloids during most of their relationship, has made blimps in the press with his recent legal troubles with the New York State Government.
According to one of People Magazine’s sources for the story on their split (click here for their report), the couple are very much on-again and off-again, but no matter if Hathaway goes back to her Italian prince, finds a new place to leave her Prada heels, or lives up the single life again, let’s here it for an actress with a truly budding career and *shock* poise.
Hathaway has recently been in New York City shooting “Bride Wars” with tabloid fixture Kate Hudson and Hudson would be wise to bend her co-star’s ear for a little advice on the subject.
There’s no place like Hollywood for odd couples–and we are bringing you the top 5 Strangest Celebrity Couples–at least until they break up in Hollywood Drama Style!
5. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon
Nick Cannon is a certified hunter–cougar hunter, that is. At 27, he is 11 years younger than his superstar wife. It’s also no secret that Mariah has had a much more successful and farther spanning career than her new hubby, and she probably has a lot more in the bank as well. So what was with the quick nuptials? Did Mariah hear her biological clock slow its ticking, and figure a younger guy would improve her chances for kids? Was Nick looking for a Sugar Mama? We’ll keep an eye out for any baby announcements…
4. Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams
I guess it’s not too much of a surprise for Mandy Moore to be dating singer Ryan Adams, since that’s where her career started. But looking at the picture of the two reminds me a bit of Beauty and the Geek–or a sketchy older guy coming on to a pretty young thing. Maybe if he gets his hair back to a…normal color, he might be a bit easier on the eyes. But hey; love is blind, after all.
3. Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil
The British soul singer has been married to Blake for a little over a year, and what a chaotic and sporadic year it has been! A few months into the marriage, images surfaced of a battered and bruised Amy after a wild night with her husband. But Amy herself has admitted to the occasional spousal abuse as well, saying,
I’ll beat up Blake when I’m drunk. I don’t think I have ever bruised him, but I do have my way. If he says one thing I don’t like then I’ll chin him.
Wild! And if that’s not enough, her husband was arrested back in November, and Amy herself has since been “arrested by appointment” (whatever that means!) as well for assault and drugs. But when she’s not in jail (either visiting her hubby or on her own ”appointments”), Winehouse can be seen hanging around with random men, making videos while doing drugs, playing with mice with Pete Doherty, or singing racist songs. Here is just one of Amy’s videos:
2. Tilda Swinton and Sandro Kopp
Ice Queen Tilda Swinton is currently involved with German/New Zealand artist Sandro Kopp, whom she has been seeing since 2004 after they met during the filming of “The Chronicles of Narnia”. The strangest thing about this couple isn’t the age difference (he’s 29; she’s 47), nor that Kopp broke up with ex via e-mail after he began seeing Swinton (read about that here) . No, the strangest thing about this couple is that Swinton is already married to artist/playwright John Byrne–and he has given the relationship the go-ahead! Apparently, her husband has okayed the open relationship, and Swinton even brings her boy toy home occasionally to the house she shares with Byrne and their 10-year-old twins.
1. Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson
Hollywood’s wildchild Lindsay Lohan has been linked to several men over the past–Aaron Carter (who?), Wilmer Valderrama, Harry Morton, and Calum Best; but the relationship that has been causing the most hype is the most recent and most controversial one with DJ Sam Ronson.
Magazines have been trying to get Lindsay to out the relationship, and she has been offered large sums in exchange. LiLo’s dad has also sold outgiven his opinion about his daughter’s relationship, insinuating that the girls are a couple. But the rumors are definitely swirling: Has Lindsay given up on boys? Are they just friends? Is it for publicity? Or is Lindsay just a big swinger?
If Lindsay and the DJ are actually an item, it would be one of the few times where a young Hollywood It-Girl has had a public lesbian relationship. And the relationship is #1 on our list because it is so far away from the norm–it makes sense that Lindsay would be the celeb who shakes things up!
So now that we’ve ranked the couples, what do you guys think? Are these couples really that strange, or am I just old-fashioned? And did we miss any, or did we hit the nail on the head? Leave a comment with your opinion!
This just isn’t a good week for celebrity couples. Add another one to the list of break ups and divorces. This time it is the country music world that will be the most in shock, which will give us a nice change of pace from the usual Hollywood splits. Guess who it is this time! Here’s a hint…
Shania Twain, 42, has split from her husband of fourteen years. In case you didn’t know (I’m assuming 99% of you didn’t) she was married to Robert ‘Mutt’ Lange, 59, a record producer.
Her spokesperson has confirmed the pair have called it quits, sayingthey “are separating after fourteen years of marriage. This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time.”
They first met back in 1993 and married only after six months of knowing each other. So does this mean that love at first sight doesn’t last?
There have also been rumors of their marriage being rocky as early as 2000, but they have stayed together all these years. They even tried moving to Switzerland, of all places, to try and escape the blaring spotlight.
Shania and Robert have worked together a lot in the past, he produced and co-wrote many of her hit singles including You’re Still the One and Man! I Feel Like a Woman! Now if those two jams couldn’t keep them together, I don’t know what would have worked!
The couple has a seven-year-old son, Eja D’Angelo. No word yet on how bloody and bitter that custody battle will be.
And Shania is coming back out this year with a new album and a signature perfume. That’s great and all, but this just makes me sad that there aren’t any famous couples staying together for long anymore.
It’s being reported that the hunky movie star is deeply “in love” with his Oscar winning actress/girlfriend Reese Witherspoon, according to his pal, producer Ryan Kavanaugh. The two have been dating since meeting on the set of the movie, Rendition.
Kavanaugh believes Reese could be “the one” for Jake as well. He told People:
“I just think he loves her. (Jake) has obviously had his fair share of dating. I think eventually you come to a place where you know what you want and seeing what we saw on the set, he was certainly completely devoted to her and really loves her.”
I have to admit they are a really cute couple, and if Jake really loves her, they would also make really cute babies!
And they seem like they have a lot of fun together. I wish the two love birds the best!
Jennifer Aniston’s alleged ex-boyfriend Brian Bouma has stayed mum about his relationship with the ‘Friends’ star, until now.He has confirmed that he did indeed have a relationship with the actress.
From his home in Vancouver, Brian tells E! News that “yes,” he and Jen began dating earlier this year while she was filming the drama Traveling in Canada. Bouma was on the set for her movie too, except he wasn’t an actor- just a film crew grip.
E! News got an exclusive interview with the film-crew grip about his alleged split with the actress. But he remained coy on other details, saying only, “We are not seeing each other anymore.”However, sources close to Aniston have said Bouma has been quietly flying down to Miami to see the 39-year-old star on the set of her new movie, Marley & Me.“Jen’s managed to keep this romance very under wraps,” an insider told E! News. “She doesn’t want to have another high-profile relationship, and she’s very good at avoiding attention when she wants to, even in L.A.”When asked about the supposed treks to the Sunshine State, Bouma simply said, “I don’t want to talk about it at all.”Jen’s rep could not be reached for comment.Aniston is notoriously known for keeping her relationships under wraps. Looks like this time her ex couldn’t help but spill the beans about dating the actress. Sorry Jen!
