Al + Van

Van + Stuart Townsend + Charlize T + The Bloompster

Jackson missed a trick not casting Van as a hobbit.

The bloomster is just about to be the subject of some homophobic tirade from VM.

I've said it before, but "Sopranos" producers missed a trick not casting Al Pacino as Frankie Valli's sister

The bloomster is just about to be the subject of some homophobic tirade from VM.

See you, Bloomps, you're a fuckin' disgrace, so youse are

2. who's with the strokes.
Robert Pollard, he of Guided by Voices fame. (Which doesn't seem too unlikely, really.)

They toured together, right? Or at least played on the same bill in NYC a few times.

Can't imagine why Carl Perkins would be hanging out with two of the Beatles who covered his song 'Matchbox'.

That and the fact that Dave and Carl refer to Ringo as "Richie."

Not sure why Robert Pollard being pictured with the Strokes is remotely surprising given they made a music video together (Someday? I think)

Looks like he just sneezed on her face.

looks like he wanted to poke her face

Wasn't Kadyrov in the Beastie Boys at one point? He looks awfully like one of them

She has the face of a five year old on Mini Pops.

Bill Gates with Ludacris

i can't believe all these famous people attend the same parties for famous people

Not too surprising, but I love this one of Simon and Reed.

I know that, duh... still looks like a bearded twat from an American indie band tho

Not too surprising, but I love this one of Simon and Reed.

I recognise Simon Cowell in the chair but this Reed fellow looks like Artie Fufkin, Polymer Records to me

Ha. I was looking for the one of those two at the Dion tribute with Billy Joel and Springsteen but couldn't seem to find it.

We should probably have another thread called "Photos taken of famous people together that are ultimately unsurprising teamups" for sticklers.

No mention of...

Prince Charles and Jay-z?

jeez jay-z got a royal lookin jawline in that one

doesn't jay z spend half his time trying to populate threads like this?

oh look, jay z with the pope! jay z w/ abbas kiarostami! jay z w/ ramzan kadyrov one of the cunts from grizzly bear

xp you make it sounds like he's assembling an army of schmoozing celeb progeny

it was more the "shared joke aspect"

right, here you are then: found ! http://blogs.sohh.com/videos/charles-jayz-99problems.jpg

(don't hit me)

Kadyrov is actually in the Chechen GAPDY tribute band, Grozny Bear.

lol

what a 'terribly formed joke' [via grozny, russian for terrible]

can't believe that people are surprised that any of these people, all residents of the blue planet earth, have been photographed together.

Not too surprising, but I love this one of Simon and Reed.

It looks like they've been photographed in the middle of a 'who is the biggest asshole' argument:

PS: "I'm the biggest asshole!"
LR: "No man, I'm the biggest asshole!"
PS: "No I'm telling you, I'm the biggest asshole!"
LR: "Paul, you weren't even the biggest asshole in Simon & Garfunkel..."

lol

I know it's not surprising now but I was pretty happy to see it.

That's 3 guys I don't know, Tony Blair & that loud Irish priest dude, right?

Obama with... some people?

I mean, seriously, is it that hard to include the names when posting pics here?

Yeah, people are really stretching the idea of "famous" here. The guy in the second pic is the lead singer of the Flaming Lips, but I have no idea about the six random indie rocker guys in the first one.

WRITE THE NAMES, ugh

You know, if you don't recognize them by sight anyway, what's it gonna matter if you know their names or not?

Like you're going to be, "Oh, it's WAYNE COYNE. HILARIOUS."

i don't know how to make this picture show up as a picture - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/worldnews/5195855/Chantal-Biya-the-first-lady-of-Cameroon.html?image=5

chantal biya, chantal biya's hair, naomi campbell, sarah brown (and some other african first ladies)

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.

"I don't know"
