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

Dane Cook, Jeremy Piven, and Kid Rock.

CAVEAT: I'm only happy about this one because I like to pretend that the ceiling caved in two seconds after this photo was taken killing all three where they stood.

That is a douchepocalypse right there.

I like this photo, not totally unlikely, but still a whole lot of famous. Saw first on an ILM thread, I think.

The picture of Chavez and Courtney Love makes me want to puke.

God, Roth is destroyed in that picture.

Errrr didn't mean to post it twice. I don't like it that much.

you must have really liked that photo, to have posted it twice

:p

I scrolled down, didn't realise it was a duplicate pic, and thought that my browser was as wasted as DLR.

Courtney Love looks exactly like the Joker in that picture.

Joyce Carol Oates.

OK, that really does make me inexplicably happy.

I love that picture so much.

Guess with Tyson: Joyce Carol Oates??? I know she's done a lot of writing about boxing, so that one might not be that weird.

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.

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.

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.

(afaict the other guy is a winemaker named Eric Dunham who died by suicide the year after that photo was taken)

it is, Eric was a friend of my husband. likely introduced to the Bushes through Kyle, and they sent him socks every year for xmas after that.

when we went to Eric's Celebration of Life, my husband told me Kyle would be in attendance, “so try and act normally around him”, to which i replied as i exited the car “it’s not like i’m gonna tell him "OMG, you were in that Dune movie, weren't you!”, which i didn’t have to as we saw Kyle walking away from his car parked nearby. needless to say, i avoided him for the rest of the evening.

wow! yeah I found that the photo was taken at a fundraiser for the bush library: https://houston.culturemap.com/news/society/12-04-13-a-hot-comic-leaves-em-laughing-at-star-studded-george-bush-presidential-library-bash
