[merh]

Evangeline Lilly & Dominic Monaghan

How They Met: The hobbit from 'Lord of the Rings' and the Canadian actress don't share many scenes on 'Lost,' but they apparently sizzled off the screen.
Relationship Status: After Lilly's house in Hawaii burned down, Monaghan was there to support her. They are now reportedly engaged.

1. David Spade and Heather Locklear

Don't blame him, but what the HELL is going through her mind??

[Kat45]

4. Yeah, I can't get over that one either!

Makes no sense to me. :shrug:

[idgiehkt]

5. amen

that is one of the weirdest.

I also think Cameron and Justin are a weird one. He should be with Lance Bass or some other boy band alumnus.

[merh]

8. Heh, they broke up and she is already with someone new.

That latest song of his doesn't do anything for me and it's because he isn't sexy.

[idgiehkt]

63. when I watch him I always think he might appeal to female predators

He will look 12 until he's forty, probably.

[merh]

7. that one is not weird, it is just ICK

He bugs the hell out of me, there is nothing cute, clever or sexy about him. He is just obnoxious and hateful and mundane.

If I were going to do it with a comic, it would be Robin Williams, I could put up with that hairy body for that mind and all of the laughter.


Spade is just ick and Locklear has given the term "dumb blonde" a whole new meaning.

[hippywife]

13. Thank you, merh!

It's like you were reading my mind. :hi:

He and Jason Alexander are two people who will actually prevent me from watching a show.

[merh]

18. Yes, I can't stand Jason Alexander either

and then there is what's his name from NewsRadio Andy something -- aaarrrrggghhh, he grates on my nerves.

:hi:

[Bassic]

44. I don't like Jason Alexander either, but

I did like Duckman a LOT :D

[girl gone mad]

12. Well, it says something..

when a man is willing to follow Tommy Lee. Ahem, there's no way to put it delicately, but clearly David thinks he measures up.

[yurbud]

56. I would say David Spade and anyone. He looks like a chick, but not a hot one.

[RedStateShame]

57. What's going through her mind? More than likely, hairspray.

I mean, Tommy Lee and Richie Sambora?! She can probably detect Aqua Net from a mile away.

[graywarrior]

2. Maybe they have the Queen in common.

[Shell Beau]

3. I definitely agree with that one.

I used to feel that way about Courteney Cox and David Arquette, but I have since changed my mind.

[merh]

6. They are listed as on of the "Odd Couples" at that link

See page 10

David Arquette & Courteney Cox

How They Met: The 'Friends' superstar played a hard-nosed reporter in 'Scream,' while the quirky actor was the bumbling deputy. They fell in love on set just like their characters did on screen.
Relationship Status: The couple married in 1999 and had their first child, Coco, in 2004. Their production company created Cox's new series, 'Dirt.'

[Elidor]

9. Merry? What are you doing with the ring?

I like odd couples, being half of one myself. No one, however, should couple with David Spade.

[merh]

19. agreed

No one, however, should couple with David Spade.

x(

[LostinVA]

10. Anne Bancroft & Mel Brooks

Married decades and decades...

[mentalsolstice]

16. He was devastated when she died

I always feel for those that found their true "mate", no matter how odd they seem together. The most disturbing scene in "Titanic" to me was of the elderly couple, spooned on a bed, awaiting death together. Couplings can be almost primal at times, that's the way I feel about my SO. There are times when we go on animal instinct alone, and there is just no 'splainin' it!

[merh]

26. Oddly enough, I never considered them an odd couple.

I adored them, they just seemed to fit and loved each other so much.

David Spade is angry and his comedy seems to come from a bitter, nastiness. How could that be endearing?

Mel Brooks was just so endearing, a child like innocence mixed with a wit that walked the edge of risque. Though not the most attractive man that walked the face of the earth, his mind and his humor and his humanity were sexy, imho.

[zonkers]

11. She is so pretty. Her eyes are too much.

[warrior1]

15. Lucy Lawless (Xena) husband

Robert Tapert

I couldn't find a picture of them together.

[hippywife]

14. These two for sure!

Okay, not really...I'm just jealous. x( ;)

[merh]

25. teeehheeee

:rofl:

:hi:

[hellbound-liberal]

17. How aboutthis former pair?

[merh]

28. Oh yeah, I forgot about them

:freak:

[Shine]

20. Demi and Ashton come to mind.

just off the top of my head, that is...

:hi: merh! How's life treatin' ya, girl? :hug: :pals:

[merh]

24. Demi and Ashton most certainly, gawd what an odd pair.

Hi ya, Shine :hi:

I'm doing good, hanging in there. Thanks for asking. :pals:

How are you these days? :hug:

[Sunnier Skies]

21. Ava Gardner and Mickey Rooney

just finished reading her bio. Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe were kind of an odd couple too.

[u4ic]

23. Welcome to DU!

:toast:

I definitely agree about your first couple.

[Sunnier Skies]

27. Thanks for the welcome u4ic

I thought I'd get my toes wet in the Lounge before venturing to other parts.:scared: :D

[u4ic]

29. A very smart idea

I first tread into GD...not a good idea. :scared:



:hi:

[schmuls]

53. ha ha! I always wondered about that one too! Welcome!!

[Mad_Dem_X]

60. I agree

I can't believe they were married. Ditto for Marilyn and Arthur Miller.

[mitchum]

22. Susan Sontag and Annie Lebowitz...

Sontag was an intellectual and Lebowitz is just a shutterbugging fluffer for vapid celebrity culture

[Fran Kubelik]

51. Leibovitz may be primarily a celeb photog...

BUT she is quite an artist. Not fair to dismiss her as a shutterbugging fluffer, I think.

[mitchum]

61. Lebovitz is talented, but Sontag never wrote ad copy...

which would be the equivalent of Lebovitz's celebrity photography/pushing the product

[mitchum]

62. Cole Porter and Jack Cassidy

strange but true

[Zuiderelle]

70. WTF? Leibovitz was genius. And they made a fantastic couple.

Fluffer?? :crazy:

[Kat45]

30. Rick Okasek and Paulina Porzcekova (sp)

Yeah, they're both very tall, but she's beautiful and he's an odd looking guy, to put it mildly.

[merh]

33. talk about the short & tall of it

No.8 on the list

Brigitte Nielsen & Flavor Flav

How They Met: The two hit it off on the third season of 'The Surreal Life.' The 6'1" Danish actress enjoyed calling him "Foofy Foofy."
Relationship Status: After 'Life,' the couple starred in a spinoff called 'Strange Love,' but after bickering endlessly, they broke up. Later, Flav sought a new woman on 'Flavor of Love' seasons one and two.

[Wetzelbill]

47. that one gives many of us hope

If Ric can swing that babe well then why can't I reach for the stars as well? :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

31. Sandra Bullock and Jesse James

[merh]

34. Yup, it's that bad boy attraction thing

(she looks blotto in that photo)








:hi: :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

35. Yes, she does look like she has quite the buzz going!

:hug:

:hi:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

36. In all fairness to Jesse James

He may fit into the "bad boy" sterotype but I've read that he's highly regarded in his local community and gives generously to charity, as does Bullock. I don't think the match is as strange as it seems on first glance

[merh]

37. It's the tattoos

I can't stand 'em, I know it's wrong of me to judge others for the ink painted all over their arms, but there it is, I'm human -- they are :puke:

I suppose all of the odd couples have some bond that makes their union work, generous and caring will do that.

Except for David Spade and Heather Locklear. x(

;)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

40. He's also anti-Bush:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1982409#1982409

[zonkers]

41. Maybe * is the one who sicked DMV on him and fined him bookoo bucks for not emissions control on

every custom bike he ever built. Still, Jesse can afford it -- his $$$ from merchandising is surely through the roof.

[The Great Escape]

32. Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky....

[borlis]

38. Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart.

Just a little creepy.

[City Lights]

45. Beat me to it!

:hi:

[Maine-ah]

55. damn! that was my pick....

[The Spirit Of Radio]

64. I agree.

That's disturbing. :puke:

[borlis]

65. Hi Peace Crane.

I was going to say welcome to DU :hi: becuase of your post #, but I'll just say glad to see you on here! :hug:

[The Spirit Of Radio]

71. Hello

:hug:
Where is Steve Nash is God 13?

[begin_within]

39. Weren't Ted Danson and Whoopi Goldberg going together for a while?

[merh]

42. Here's their photo

That was when they were making a film together. I don't know if it was that they were together for real or just playing up the role for the movie.

And they didn't kind of click.

[VenusRising]

43. They were together.

Whoopie was the one that convinced Danson to do the black face routine that he got slammed for.

[begin_within]

48. I remember something about it from the tabloid shows. From Wikipedia:

While he was still legally married to (Casey) Coates, Danson became romantically involved with Whoopi Goldberg. Danson experienced substantial negative press attention after his appearance at a Friar's Club roast in blackface. Although Goldberg is said to have written the monologue, the negative response from guests, the press and the public has been cited as a reason their relationship ended.

[Orangepeel]

54. maybe Whoopie was just dating Danson to play an elaborate practical joke on him

Yeah, honey. I promise that doing the routine in blackface will be funny! Trust me!

[Bread and Circus]

46. Luke Perry and Renee Zellweger

[jobycom]

52. Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney, too.

[fidgeting wildly]

49. I think Dominic is adorable!

I'd date him. :)

Liv Tyler and Royston Langdon look odd together, but they seem like they really love each other.

[Patiod]

50. How about the Hero and the Dixie Chick?

[merh]

58. That does seem like an odd match

and it looks like, if they have kids, that the kids will have square foreheads.

[Left Is Write]

68. They already have children.

They've been married for nearly 7 years and have two children.

It really doesn't seem a strange match to me at all.

[moc]

59. Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett

Never did understand that one.

[Arugula Latte]

66. Drew Barrymore and Tom Green (a few years ago)

:wtf:

[Auggie]

67. Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller

[Phillycat]

69. Can't believe no one's said TomKat

I couldn't believe it when I first heard it, and I still can't believe it. WTF????

[City Lights]

72. Lisa Marie and Jacko.

:wtf:
