15 Celeb Couples That Still Baffle Us
It’s said that love is blind, and we’d have to agree — especially after checking out these utterly bizarre mismatched celebrity couples. Here are 15 celeb odd couples that still baffle us; some of them are from different worlds, and some of them take the concept of beauty and the beast to the next level.
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have recently welcomed their new baby boy, and also have a 23-month old baby girl together. They’re not even married and supposedly have no plans to tie the knot, either. It looks weird enough that the Good Charlotte front man and the girly socialite do the same things together, let alone have children.
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are both very beautiful people, don’t get us wrong. What’s a bit odd about it is the 15 year age gap between the two. Think about it: her kids grew up having a crush on him, since, well, he’s practically their age.
Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman
Who is Jordan Bratman and why did Cristina Aguilera go for him? Apparently he’s a music marketing exec — which makes a little more sense given Christina’s background. They’ve been married for four years and have a child together. He may be big in her world, but to us he just looks like some guy who hangs out at the corner store.
Sandra Bullock and Jesse James
Sandra Bullock is a gorgeous woman and Jesse James is, well, a bit rough around the edges — to say the least. He’s the star of reality TV series Monster Garage where he plays grease monkey all day. This may be one of those Hollywood Beauty and the Beast tales with some longevity in it, as the couple has been married since 2005.
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise
Another attractive couple, stars Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise still make this list. Why? For one, Katie towers over Tom by two inches or so, without heels. He usually takes advantage of stairs, if they’re around, for photo ops. We shouldn’t have to mention the Scientologist husband tarnishing good-girl Katie’s image thing, but we will anyway. Odds are overwhelmingly against this fiasco going on for much longer; we’re all very curious as to when the whole experiment comes to an end.
Deborra-Lee Furness and Hugh Jackman
Many women would love to have a piece, or two, of Hollywood stud Hugh Jackman. Sorry to inform though, he’s been married to Deborra-Lee Furness since 1996. She oddly got more attention than her husband when he was named Sexiest Man Alive in 2008, since there’s supposedly a great woman behind every great man. This one happens to be — and look — way older.
Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford
Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford have been together for seven and a half years, but Harrison just recently popped the question earlier this year around Valentine’s Day. Harrison Ford is a pretty awesome guy, but he’s 22 years Calista’s senior. And it shows too — the picture above looks like it was taken at Bring Your Daughter to Work Day.
Clive Owen and Sarah-Jane Fenton
Clive Owen is another one of those actors that everyone assumes is single, like Hugh Jackman. Maybe Sarah-Jane Fenton looked better when she was younger, but she looks like a mom now, his mom. And Clive, well he just looks as good as ever. The couple has been together since 1995 and have two children together.
Eric Mabius and Ivy Sherman
Yet another Beauty and the Beast Hollywood story, but in reverse. Eric Mabius, Ugly Betty star, and interior designer Ivy Sherman have only been married since 2006, and now have a child together. Unlike Hugh and Clive, this marriage is fairly new. We’re thinking she looked just about the same as she does now. Maybe he married her because she was preggers.
Heidi Klum and Seal
Heidi Klum is gorgeous. She could practically get any man in the world. It was a huge surprise when the two got together, especially because she was pregnant with her ex-boyfriend’s child at the time, which is a lot to take on. They’ve been happily together since 2005 and have had three children, while Seal legally adopted her other child.
Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher
All we can think of when we see Sacha Baron Cohen is Borat — Isla Fisher is simply too adorable for this guy. They’ve been together since 2002 and got engaged in 2004. Their wedding has since been postponed many times for reasons including Isla’s film work, we would cross our fingers that they break it off, but they’ve recently welcomed a baby boy into their lives.
Eva Longoria and Tony Parker
Eva Longoria is another star who could have had her pick of men, even the married ones, but went for Tony Parker. The couple has had their share of drama, but finally tied the knot in 2007. Maybe he has a great personality, but we think he’s too tall and just too thuggish looking for dainty Eva.
Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn
We don’t even know where to start with this one. Soon-Yi Previn was the adopted daughter of Woody Allen’s “domestic partner” — and he was her father figure. She denies that it’s weird, and swears that he never was her father figure, but we can’t shake that awkward feeling. That aside, there is a 34 year difference between them. They have been together though since 1997, though, so it seems to be going strong.
Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault
Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault met back in 2006, but just tied the knot earlier this year. They recently welcomed a baby girl into their lives and finally seem happy together, despite some rocky spots. Salma is another naturally gorgeous star that could have nabbed anyone — and the two just don’t fit. Love must conquer all in this Beauty and the Beast tale.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick
We don’t really think that Sarah Jessica Parker is the Beauty in this story. Matthew Broderick isn’t on Hugh Jackman’s level, but we like him a lot more than we like her. He’s funny, talented and handsome while she’s just all hair. Maybe one day he’ll come to his senses, but they’ve been married since 1997 and have three children together, so we’re not holding our breath.

This is a really shitty article. A bad match because the girl is taller? Or because a guy looks "thuggish"? Serious lack of effort. What a boring hunk of crap this is.

So you guys are "crossing you fingers" that these couples break up because they don't look got together? Holy shit. You guys are incredibly shallow.

Unbelievably shallow and superficial of you to judge someone's choice based on looks! Forget that their love is real, and these people are happy. When will we all realize whom you choose to love is NOBODY's business?

This kind of thing is exactly why if I ever get famous and walk the red carpet. I am going to do so in clothes I wore while working on my car. Possibly an oil stain on the back a little dirt on my arm. A grease smear on my cheek. Ripped and stained jeans with some worn out new balance shoes. My own personal Fuck You to those that put looks/clothes/status above all else.
The person doing this would have been better off making it an interesting couple type thing. To show more differences than just age/status/looks. Find 2 people with extreme religious views that get married. Now that would be interesting. Arnold and Maria Shriver now that's an interesting couple. Why are they not on the list? Oh thats right they are both high status and one isn't a "beast"

for those calling this shallow, what are you? You've read the article and admit it, you tought the same for most of em.
The people got their money from the mass aka. little folk. the folk has some rights to have fun with em.
In the end everyones jelous anyway.
The Klum-Seal part missed the beast-label.

Thuggish? That is blatant racism. Tony Parker was born in Belgium and raised in France, his mother is a Dutch model, he grew up rich and well mannered, and is now rich and well mannered.
This is racism, plain and simple and there is no excuse

Wow. A whole new level of pathetic. I'd like to have your pictures posted on the internet for people to nitpick, but that would mean sinking to your level. I'm just glad that, unlike you, these people have more depth than a puddle.

Tony Parker is too thuggish looking from Eva Longoria? What? Tony Parker is far from thuggish, why don't you just say what you were thinking and say you're scared of big black dudes? That guy is as clean cut as they come.
And the rest of it was childish drivel.
You suck.
Seriously.

This article is awesome, and you rock for making it! Forget all these other people who I guess are just offended because because they have some sort of inferiority complex…probably they aren't ery good looking themselves. It's a known fact that people
usually go for people who are as attractive as they are. And everyone knows that there are some couples who look perfect for each other, and couples who we can't help but think "What?? They're going OUT?"
If you choose to pretend like that doesn't exist and like you don't ever feel that way yourself, well then keep living in denial. The rest of us know that people do judge others on their looks and personality, just like you judge them. And that though love is blind, there are some couples out there who we just can't understand how they even got along little less had anything in common.

And yes Tony does look thuggish. Just look at the expression on his face, you nitwad! I hate drama queens, especially ones who call the racist card on others.
Tony may be all prim and proper but he still always wears that thuggish expression, and everyone can see it. So that means Eva Longoria did, too.

Definitely one of the worst articles I've ever read. Maybe it was written with the intent of evoking laughs from the readers, but this clearly falls short of any wit whatsoever by a long shot. "…he’s too tall and just too thuggish looking?" Really? Does popcrunch hold any standards at all for their writers? This sounded like a bitter jealousy-fueled ranting and you found no other way to attack them but through superficial insults. Your article is a joke.

Maybe instead of attacking looks, this post could have concentrated more on personality clashes. So, uh, great job being dicks.

Tony Parker is smiling in the picture. How the f#ck is that thuggish? Yes, the race card should be played because it is appropriate. Fuck you narrow minded assholes who use adjectives like “thuggish” to portray people of color.
Tony is a great looking guy, with a very nice smile who married a white girl. You obviously are racist and don;t like that fact, but hide behind not liking them as a couple because he looks “thuggish.” You asswipe!
