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

whoa that's a great one

People older than me probably know this, but there are two Debbie Harry music videos directed by and co-starring H.R. Giger.

I didn't know that, so thank you!

He designed the cover for that solo album iirc

yeah, the kebab skewers looked familiar, hadn't seen the videos though. and the second one was none-more-goth in looks, but aor musically

(the second one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbIfKQTY50I )

Chris Stein talks about how he and Debbie met Giger and they became friends, leading to Giger's work for them, here:

Halle Berry and Frank Robinson, 2003:

I guess this shouldn't be all that surprising--Berry had been married to David Justice a few years earlier--but generationally there's a disconnect for me there.

Huey Lewis, various members of Jefferson Starship and the Residents.

Oops that's Karlheinz Stockhausen, here's Huey Lewis, various members of Jefferson Starship and the Residents.

tbf though, not only are Jefferson Starship and the Residents both San Francisco bands but the Residents appeared in Jefferson Starship video...

it's probably already been posted on this thread at some point, but here's the Residents with Conway Twitty

oh, and David Sandborn on the saxophone - I'd forgotten he was there as well

For the many hundreds of you who have demanded to see a photo of Bela Lugosi with a young Elaine Stritch, your long national nightmare is over. Here they are, in April of 1947, in the comedy-mystery "3 Indelicate Ladies," which played at the Shubert Theatre in New Haven, CT. pic.twitter.com/TPffiaKut6

Ally McCoist, Bruce Dickinson and Walter Smith (plus presumably a 'real' pilot) in the cockpit of a plane.

‘Real pilot’? He’s probably got as much if not more flying experience as the guy to his left.

I mean, absolutely you would have expected them to be around the same places, but I've never seen this picture of Michael Stipe and Ricky Wilson of The B-52's

Kavus is 'would never have expected but happy' as well.

surprised this thread isn't full of recent pics of snoop dogg & olympians tbh

(or snoop, martha stewart and the cookie monster)

Snoop and Martha are bffs. I can't remember how it started but it might have been when they did a commercial years together years ago and then had a cooking show together and Martha even came out with a line of edibles.

andy serkis, todd edwards, idris elba

English lite entertainer, Don MacLean and Yasser Arafat

Lock thread, no one’s going to top that.

That's got to be a fake.

It’s on the Getty images website with a BBC credit, so looks genuine.

https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/don-maclean-and-yasser-arrafat-news-photo/490709841

Arrafat was a huge stan for '70s Soft Rock.

Wrong dude, that's Don MacLean of Crackerjack (Crackerjack!) fame.

Yes, the English entertainer, like koogs said.
