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

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.

Someone argued upthread that saying who the people are takes away the whole point of the thread. If you recognize them then the photo has interest for you, if you don't then it hasn't.

takes away the whole point of the thread.

that explains the first two posts, then

But someone might know the name of someone, be interested in them, but not know what they look like. Doesn't stack up to me. I'm pro-caption.

good, feel free to use this - www.google.com

There could be a two-thread solution.

Cool, but care to tell me how I can "look 'em up" based on a captionless photo alone?

Yes, this has been repeated many times in this thread, and the counter-argument has also been repeated almost as often, but apparently people just ignore that part, so here we go again:

i'm bad w/faces, i haven't even recognised many of the people i do know in this thread. and i know who wayne coyne is, and do find that funny (in a bad way), but wouldn't have recognised him by sight

The same with me, I don't every celebrity by the face but I might recognize the name. I know about Flaming Lips but I didn't know what their singer looks like.

Wait another 12 hours?

Or ask. We might kid if you ask about Sidney Poitier and Richard Nixon in that last picture posted, but you'll still likely get an honest answer.

lol good picks there t

Here's why I swear I'm being lazy and not obstinate - I copy the URL of that Billy Joel pic, but I don't have it open any more. I do the [[Removed Illegal Image]

Holy hell, she really does still look like that!

*45 more minutes looking up Christie Brinkley pix*

Oh, fuck. Haven't posted that Billy Joel picture yet. Well, that's not Christie on Howard's lap so I'll pass for now and we end with Paul Rudd. There. An incomplete caption that took an hour to post and list. I just got fired, but hope it was all worth it everybody!

OR VERSION 2 - copyandpaste url, let God and everyone else sort 'em out.

Here's why I swear I'm being lazy and not obstinate - I copy the URL of that Billy Joel pic, but I don't have it open any more. I do the [ img ] code, but fuck if I can remember the order of the picture. But for Tuomas' sake, I open it up in a different tab. Ok. Jimmy Fallon, Judd Apatow, well now who the hell is that. Oh, man, what if I say I don't know who that is and it turns out to be Kim Gordon's sister or something. I'll have ILX egg on my face then! Skip it for now - Billy Joel, Gordon Sumner, Howard Stern, now that isn't Christie Brinkley? Of course not, why would she be backstage with her ex-husband sitting on Stern's lap? Besides no way, she still looks like that.
