Odd celebrity hook-ups – past and present

Love blossomed between 26-year-old Mary-Kate Olsen and the 42-year-old brother of the French President back in mid 2012 and since then their romance has certainly been turning heads.

Strange but true! This unlikely pair dated for a year until 2002, and since then Ryan has only had the nicest things to say about former flame, Sandra.

Simon Cowell first invited glamour model Carmen Electra to be a judge on UK talent show Britain’s Got Talent but now the couple are allegedly dating. We give it 6 months.

In 2007, 39-year-old shock-rocker Manson, who has fetishes for pain and mutilation, started dating the 19-year-old eclectic actress, saying “I’ve found my double, my twin, with my new girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood.”

Since their split in 2009, Rachel Wood has admitted regretting the odd romance.

Thorton stated in an interview that “I wear her underwear a lot when we’re away. And she wears mine.”

If that’s not strange enough, the couple also admitted to wearing vials containing each other’s blood around their neck.

The hard-core rapper dating funny woman Handler was one of the strangest moments on the celebrity dating scene in 2011.

Although the pair never confirmed it, Handler tweeted a photo of the pair kissing in bed.

After Britney brushed off rumours that she and Colin Farrell were dating, the cheeky Irish actor was rumoured to have sent her a T-shirt saying: “I slept with Colin Farrell and all I got was this lousy t-shirt”. Unsurprisingly, they’re no longer on the best terms.

Celebrity match-ups don’t get much stranger than this one.

At 16 years his senior Cher said that she was “crazy” for Cruise and that the affair would have continued if not for invasive press.

The 51 year old Green Mile star married the aspiring pop singer when she was just 16-years-old after falling in love over email and phone calls.

The PDA lovers are not fazed by attacks on their age difference, with Stodden saying: “It’s kind of funny, because if a woman doesn’t call me [a slut] when I walk by, I think I need to go home and redo my hair because I don’t look as good as I did when they call me that.”

The Vogue Australia cover-girl married the billionaire in 2009.

Clark’s two children, both of whom are older than Hinze, one by a decade, were apparently “thrilled” by the marriage. Clark inspired Hinze to finish high school when she was 29-years-old.

The King of Pop married Elvis’ daughter around the time of the first series of child sex abuse allegations. They bonded over their shelter from the real world and missing out on their childhoods.

Jackson would not allow Presley to see his body or to see him without makeup, and wore some of her jewellery in bed.

The American singer dated Pitt in the ‘80s before his rise to stardom. Sinitta bragged of their relationship years later saying, “Some ardent fan gave me a slap when I came out of a supermarket over that relationship!”

She also revealed that he had an “amazing body”, even referencing his manhood!

These two could not have been more different when they married. Miller was an intellectual, sombre playwright and Monroe was arguably the most famous woman of the century.

Monroe was known for her lavish spending and dramatic episodes and it is alleged that Miller charged her production company for buying and shipping an expensive car to America.

Cannon allegedly has to ask “Sugar Mama” Carey, who is 11 years his senior, for her permission to speak to his friends.

It’s no wonder, because when asked if she trusts her husband Carey replied “sometimes.”

Anderson married the rocker wearing a white string bikini in a trashy, rock’n’roll wedding which took place on a yacht.

It was rumoured that Rock’s hunting passion conflicted with Anderson’s animal rights activism, leading to their divorce.
