These 10 couples were the most shocking/surprising hook-ups in Hollywood in 2009.

10. Britney Spears and Jason Trathwick

It was a delightful surprise to fans around the world when Britney Spears found love again.  The relationship proved that Britney was one step closer to regaining her freedom from her father, Jamie Spears, and leading a relatively normal life.

9. Emmy Rossum and Adam Duritz

It all started with a tweet.  Counting crows dared Emmy to come and sing with them and she did.  She then ended up on tour with them and that’s how she met Adam.  Emmy Rossum was married, though few knew, and split from her husband in August.  Shortly after, her relationship with Adam went public.

8. Lauren Conrad and Kyle Howard

This reality TV hook-up managed to stay out of the spotlight for a while because both stars were on different show, but like with anything else in Hollywood, there are no secrets.

7.  Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper

Jennifer Aniston thought she had snagged herself another man, but then Renee Zellweger swooped in and snatched Bradley up leaving both Jen and the world in a state of shock.

6. Katy Perry and Russell Brand

Katy Perry and Russell Brand didn’t try too hard to keep their love story a secret, shortly after meeting at the MTV Music Awards they were off on a romantic getaway to Thailand, but the relationship wasn’t actually confirmed until they were spotted walking side by side in London.

5. Tila Tequila and Casey Johnson

Tila Tequila is always full of surprises, but I don’t think anyone saw this coming.  It has only been a few months since Tila split from NFL player, Shawn Merriman, after the two had a fight in which Tila claimed Shawn assaulted her and now she’s engaged to the Johnson & Johnson heiress, Casey Johnson.  We’ll see if they actually make it to the alter in 2010.

4. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy

Jennifer was schedule to wed in 2009, but broke off her engagement with Ross McCall and three months later was linked to Jamie Kennedy.  Maybe he’ll have better luck getting her to walk down the isle.

3. Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odam

This surprise couple decide to skip the whole dating scene and went straight for the marriage.  Their wedding took place just days after the world found out they were a couple.

2. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth

Miley broke Justin Gaston’s heart when she dumped him over the summer and she had us all fooled into thinking it was for Nick Jonas.  Many hoped that Miley and Nick had rekindled their romance, but turns out, this Disney star had her eyes set on someone else; Liam Hemsworth.  Miley stole Liam away from his Aussie love while they were filming The Last Song in Georgia.

1.  LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian

The grand prize goes to… MUTUAL CHEATERS, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian.  They fell for each other while filming, Northern Lights, and tried to deny the romance after being spotted outside a Malibu Inn, but as always the truth came out.  Both LeAnn and Eddie are now in the process of getting divorced and are no longer hiding their relationship.

“Being alive. After heart surgery you dig that part. Breath, family and friends are just amazing. Just to have a second shot is pretty great!”

“I am most thankful in TWO areas this year: First and foremost for my eight beyond amazing kids who give me THE reason to get out of bed every morning and resume my fight for what is good and right! They remind me why i am doing what i am doing.

“Without them, life would not have near the sparkles, laugh or love! Second, for the undying and never ending love and support we receive from our small group of true family/ friends. I really can’t put into words how very very thankful I am to these ones…. And they know who they are!

“And a final thought (because I’m just so wordy!): No matter what destruction life rains constantly down upon you, no matter how deep the piles of ruins around you… Force yourself to look past it and see that there is always something positive and beautiful to focus on to get you through the roughest of times. I have so much to be thankful for this year.”

Katie Holmes is one of five of Elle magazine’s leading ladies in Hollywood, along side Renee Zellweger, Emily Blunt, Julianne Moore, and Zoe Saldana.

Here are some highlights of each of the five women’s interviews:

KATIE HOLMES

On family life: “In my own life, my whole world really revolves around family. I do what I need to do, but it’s like, ‘How is everybody else doing?’ And it’s wonderful for me as an actress to put some of that into a character.”

On life as a working mom on the Broadway set of All My Sons: “Suri would sit in my lap in the makeup chair. She’d hand the wig lady the bobby pins.“

On fashion: “I love Alaïa, for sure. Stella McCartney. I like Ralph Lauren because I feel like it’s very American, and I’m pretty all-American, from Ohio. Isabel Marant and a new designer, Sari Gueron.

On the genre of film she loves most: “It can be any genre. I even like vampire movies – they just have to be well done. I want to believe in the characters. The minute it starts to feel not real, I’m not interested.”

EMILY BLUNT

On adjusting to Hollywood life since moving from the UK: “I feel the fear of the business creep under my skin in L.A. in a way that it doesn’t in England. It’s funny – I feel like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, unless you’re in Hollywood! It’s shameful how you have to look a certain way. Women are simply not allowed to grow old gracefully. That’s why I love playing character parts, because I’m not pigeonholed into trying to remain young forever to play the ingénue or romantic lead.”

JULIANNE MOORE

On types of characters she is drawn to: “I think my connection to acting has been through reading. I’m interested in scripts. People ask me, “What role are you dying to play?” It’s really, What story do I want to be in?”

RENEE ZELLWEGER

On actresses from earlier eras that have influenced her: “For Leatherheads, I was thinking of Katharine Hepburn, the way she leaned forward with her shoulders back, speaking in her lower register the whole time. I like her confidence, her intelligence, her sense of entitlement. When I was making Chicago, I couldn’t stop watching the Marilyn [Monroe] videos. Not so much because of the sex kitten thing; it was more her vulnerability. That was a huge part of the Roxie character. But it’s not about emulating; it’s about a feeling.”

On whether a successful movie career requires sacrificing your personal life:“A friend of mine couldn’t decide between moving to New York or staying in L.A., and another friend said, “Do Everything!” I thought, That’s it, do everything.”

ZOE SALDANA

On being known as a beautiful Hollywood actress: “I’m sorry, but it’s sexy to know that guys find you attractive. It’s empowering.”

It’s been rumored for a while that Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper were dating, but now we have PROOF!

It appears as if the cast of The Hangover is doing a press tour in Spain, and a “tourist” took a couple videos of the couple being all cutesy together!

The first video shows Renee and Bradley at their hotel with the rest of the cast, and at the 0:34 mark Bradley puts his arm around Renee’s waist and she reciprocates by sliding her hand in his back pocket.

The second video shows Bradley and Renee in a church, and towards the end of the video they actually kiss around the 2:01 mark!

Check it out below:

On the cover of Star Magazine this week is Jennifer Aniston and her costar, Gerard Butler, who apparently are getting close like leading costars usually do on the movie set.  And rumors are swirling that Jen is doing it to get back at her failed fling with “The Hangover” star Bradley Cooper, who reportedly dumped Aniston to get closer to Renee Zellwegger.  I wonder, was this before Zellwegger started packin’ on the pounds for her role in “Bridget Jones 3″?

“Let me put it this way,” says a source on the New York set of their movie, The Bounty. “They’re both hot and single! After they finish a scene, they stick around so they can hang out with each other. Neither is in a rush to leave.”

In fact, Jen and Gerard are so affectionate on set, sources tell Star, that they often practice kissing scenes even after the cameras stop rolling! “Jen will say, ‘I think we need to do that again,’” the source says. “She says Gerard’s a great kisser.”

The pair have adjoining trailers, and they’ve been seen dashing off to Jen’s haven for a private “lunch.” During one recent visit, Gerard stayed in Jen’s trailer for 30 minutes.

And the chemistry doesn’t fizzle after work, an insider adds. The new couple have even continued their heated make-out sessions in Gerard’s hotel room! But insiders aren’t surprised, noting that the romance has been almost a year in the making.

“Gerard’s been after Jen ever since they met at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2008,” a source tells Star. “He really has a thing for her. He wants to date her, not just have a fling — or at least that’s what he is telling her! He has a reputation for being the biggest cad in Hollywood, and Jen knows that. She said no to him for almost a year, but he never gave up.”

Renee Zellweger is fattening up yet again for the third Bridget Jones’s Diary movie.

Renee is probably super jazzed that she gets to go back to her special diet of biscuits and gravy, crispy duck, Snickers, milk shakes, pizza and butter-soaked potatoes. I would hate to have to take all that weight off at the end though.

The third Bridget Jones’s movie will likely focus on 40-ish Bridget’s desire to have a baby before time runs out.

I never realized how big Bridget Jones’s was. Well apparently its popular enough to make a third movie.

This is a weird pairing too. Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger. Brad’s just getting all the woman these days. Oh but poor Jen. I hope she didn’t think the was the one.

Last night The Hangover’s Bradley Cooper was spotted in NY spending time with his fellow Case 39 cos-star, Renee Zellweger. According to Us Weekly, the two dined in the corner of a quiet Italian restaurant called Antonucci on the Upper East Side.

A source tells the mag, “She was grinning ear-to-ear and laughing really loud. Bradley kept moving closer to her and slouching in his seat. He was really relaxed.”

“He seemed to be hanging on to Renee’s every word. They were lost in their own little world.”

An another eyewitness claims,

“He pulled her chair out for her when she sat down and he kissed her on the hand,” says the witness. “If they’re just friends, they were being awfully affectionate!”

“Throughout the dinner they were playful and flirty,” a witness tells OK!. “She played with her hair a lot, and she would often touch his arm when she was making a point about something.”

“At one point, he seemed to want to whisper something to her as if it were a secret,” says the diner. “He spoke into her ear and then they both started giggling.”

Who do you think makes a better couple Brad and Jen or Brad and Renee?

Okay, maybe that couple name isn’t the best, but cut me some slack here! 

Renee Zellweger’s last name really doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily as MSNBC’s Dan Abrams, but a cutesy celebrity couple name must be invented if these two are really an item.

Renee Zellweger, in London at the Bee Movie premiere, got caught in her long, black, flowy dress and made her slit show more leg than intended.

As the actress strode down the red carpet, a huge gust of wind blew her dress to the point where it got tangled around her legs. The torrent of rain coming down at the time didn’t help matters. The dress was soaked, making it difficult to unwind from her lower extremities.

The 38 year old celebrity, who is stick thin right now, joked that the sodden dress weighed more than she did. Her Caroline Herrera dress, black with small white dots, sucked up water like a sponge.
