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

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.

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"

Obama - Wilco
Obama - Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips

Clearly not a Lips fan.

Obama, that is.

Guy behind Obama and Coyne looking very tense

Yep, recognized Wilco's lead singer but had to google what I knew. Which wasn't a lot. i.e. One of their albums has a cover with a picture of a swarm of birds that won a contest.

Soz - my photo was Martin McGuinness, Bertie Ahern, Tony Blair, Peter Hain and Ian Paisley.

Ah, thx! (I know who all of those are except Hain)

Joe Namath with Stephen Hawking.

Hilarious. (RuPaul and Milton Berle)

Above, Bill Clinton + some random guys?

Mick Jagger

If this thread proves anything, it's that show biz folks are gregarious types.

also even organisers' propensity for inviting anyone and everyone with a recognisable name

*event organisers

G. Gordon Liddy & D. Chuck

I remember that RuPaul & Milton Berle appearance. Hilariously awkward.

re: names

If only to help people posting pics check that they haven't already been on, without checking every damn pic first.

xxp I thought that was Scatman John

i fucking lol'd at "Joe Namath with Stephen Hawking."

That's the first photo here that fits the thread description perfectly.

Except it isn't a photo. But yeah.

fyi that is a digitally treated photo

but Falkor isn't a people, technically

racist

Specieist!
