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

Billy Idol & Britt Daniel

Were they comparing notes on peroxide products?

"I prefer the Strokes"

what the fuck has billy idol done to his face

how tall is billy idol? always assumed he was a biggish bloke, this has totally turned my world upside down.

He only has a small axe but he's ready to cut you down

I swear, there are more pictures of those two on the Internet than there are of Sonny & Cher.

Colbert finale to thread

Just saw this on FB:

Kubrick & Brando.

One-Eyed Jacks, a 1961 Western, is the only film directed by actor Marlon Brando. The picture was originally planned to be directed by Stanley Kubrick from a screenplay by Sam Peckinpah, but studio disputes led to their replacement by Brando and Guy Trosper.

Is there such a thing as the inverse of this thread, like people you fully expected to appear in a photo together at some point but never have? I was thinking about Elton John and David Bowie recently and figured that since both were musicians from the same country active over a very long period of time there should obviously be photos of them together, but apparently they hate each other and there is only one that I've seen.

some details here: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/david-bowie-and-elton-john.343799/

Found this, which looks like the crowd at Wimbledon. Can't even work out if it's real or not (or if that's Elton or Sylvester McCoy).

Yeah that's the one picture that seems to exist; and that link and a couple others made it sound like Bowie thought Elton was ripping him off and talked shit about him. I had never realized this.

It hadn't occurred to me either. That Wimbledon pic looks like the organisers have them on a careful seating plan tbh.

George Michael's in there as well.

people you fully expected to appear in a photo together at some point but never have?

I would totally expect to see a photo of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen together but I can't find one. Same goes for Lou Reed with Jim Morrison (who apparently met at early Velvets shows in LA).

Looking at that pic closely it's clear that it was actually taken at Live Aid. You can see the logo on the laminate that the guy in the middle is wearing (who is he?). And is that Bryan Adams in the left foreground?

The fellow in the middle looks a bit like John Reid, Elton's manager. But probably isn't.

Is there something strange about the way Princess Diana looks in that shot? Something odd about the focus or the light? It looks like a cut and paste job but I can't work out why.

Looks legit to me.

i think laminate dude *is john reid, but i don't think that's bryan adams

A little GIS-ing reveals that it's actually Jim Beach, Queen's manager.

gah, right! i knew i recognised him as some kind of mid-80s megabucks manager.

Being able to see the white under someone's iris ilike that is always weird.

Slightly against the spirit of the thread, but I am happy, in a way

I give up, who is that w 40

uncle phil

Who are the folks in Alba's pic? I only recognize O'Brien from Star Trek?

never change Tuomas

it's colm meaney, julian bashir and will wheaton. not really unexpected tbh

I'm pretty sure I'd recognize Alexander Siddig and Wil Wheaton, no way are those other guys them!

I'm with Tuomas on this, I don't recognize the other guys. Wil Wheaton has a beard.

THought it was George W and Gore at first.

l-r: jeremy clarkson tv/cars, alex james bassist/cheesemonger, abducted child, david cameron child abductor

Ah, I was gonna say it's Cameron, but then I thought he would have an aide or someone to take care of the baby, so I wasn't so sure... Not familiar with the other two names, I guess they're UK celebrities?

uncle phil

haha oh shit

who is uncle phil

Tuomas: Alex James was the bassist in Wigwam, with Betty Boo

apparently finds E-40 far more entertaining than Fresh Prince, or maybe the years have just softened his stance on hip-hop

Don't feel bad, sic, I didn't know who E-40 was.

Ok, look, see? I am absolutely positive that I am the last person to know that Steve Jobs and Ross Perot were buddies, ok?

Can I finish, Larry? Can I finish?

This has been making the rounds on FB today...not "Unexpected" as this was backstage at Bowie's 50th Birthday Concert, but volume man, volume. (Also, if we need to kick off a 'Dave Grohl + Weirdos' thread, here's the place to start.)

I like how the then-Gordon-Moore's got Coco into the picture.

Is that what it looked like backstage at MSG at that concert? I thought all these people would have contract riders specifying tibetan wall paintings, elegant furniture, fine wines, fresh flowers in abundance etc.

I guess that's DiCaprio on the background, but who are the other two? Is the dude in the middle 50 Cent?
