Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same.

oh god

Who's the guy on the left?

the ugly badlwin

Baldwin, rather.

Or do you mean the guy on the extreme left? That's probably Jerry Only, when he was just beginning to grow his Devilock (TM).

I thought it might be a Baldwin

Alec Baldwin's xtreme sports fundamentalist xtian evangelical brother who was in The Usual Suspects

lol xpost to Tom's original question

Doesn't make me happy and it's not a complete surprise that they're photographed together, but Gov. Bill Clinton and Vice-President George Bush hanging out circa. 1986.

Throw in some old Mountain Dew cans and Gov. George Wallace though, and now you've really got a backyard picnic swinging there.

They should make a True Detective with Bill and George, amirite... can't wait to share that one with my dad via cybermail.

Happy 65th, WMJ.

That's a real rogue's gallery there

Thought Rudd was Lindsay Buckingham for a sec.

So who are the people in that pic? I only recognize Paul Ridd on the right... Is that Sting in the middle, behind everyone?

Judd Apatow in the back left

Is the guy with the shades Neil Gaiman?

Jimmy Fallon far left. Billy Joel & Howard Stern in the center.

What about the two women?

The one on the left is Sting's wife Trudie Styler. No idea who the one on the right is.

Woman on the right is Beth Stern (Howard's wife)

After confusing Sting with Neil Patrick Harris upthread, I'm glad I got him right this time.

T why do you click on this thread if you are not a truoll

Because I found these sort of photos interesting! And I wouldn't need to ask if people would who post pics would add some captions to them.

'need' vs 'everybody do this for me or I'll continuously troll'

imo

Several people in this thread (not just me) have repeatedly asked that folks posting pics would add captions to them, yet they keep ignoring that. So I don't feel like I'm trolling rather than reminding these ignorers of their duty as posters.

idk man, lol I guess.

D why do you click on this thread if you do not want to read Tuomas asking who features in uncaptioned pictures?

That's actually why I click ott tbh

I thought as much.

Good day to you!

I don't post the captions often because most of the time, there aren't any accompanying them. That WMJ pic came off of Jimmy Fallon's twitter.

Part of the fun is guessing who everyone is, imo. And I'll say it again, do a reverse image search if you really want to find out the answer.

Caption: Martin Luther King, Jr. and Marlon Brando

I don't post the captions often because most of the time, there aren't any accompanying them.

What I meant by "captions" is that person who posts the pic should write the names in the same post, even if the pic has no official caption. Presumably that poster knows who's in the pic, because why would he otherwise post it here?

And I'll say it again, do a reverse image search if you really want to find out the answer.

For the arguments sake, I did a reverse image search on the pic you posted, and got 0 results. Also, if the reverse search just leads you to some Twitter post where the people in the pic aren't named, that doesn't help in identifying them.

What I meant by "captions" is that person who posts the pic should write the names in the same post, even if the pic has no official caption. Presumably that poster knows who's in the pic, because why would he otherwise post it here?

There were eight people in that picture. If you recognize them all, cool! If not, look 'em up yourself!

I had no idea who Sting's wife was until someone else identified her. You're right about it being so new it wasn't on GIS yet, but hell, blame Jimmy Fallon, not me.

(Jimmy Fallon is an American comedian who began hosting NBC's "The Tonight Show" recently.)

In these circumstances it doesn't seem unreasonable to ask you to identify which famous people being together makes you happy, in particular.

But then I only click on this thread to see people arguing about the whys and wherefores of captioning photos which make them happy.

I like to guess, so please don't identify anyone.
