It's just too bad Momus wasn't there.

Why has no one posted this picture of Jello Biafria kissing Tammy Faye Bakker:

I JUST NEED TO SING "CRAZY FOR YOU" TO KNOW HOW MY HEART FEELS (Stevie D), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 17:19 (thirteen years ago) link

saville and elvis is the best yet. superb.

Googling reveals that Jimmy Saville hosted Top of the Pops. Why is it strange for him to have posed with Elvis?

jaymc, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 17:31 (thirteen years ago) link

Well, Elvis never did Top of the Pops, having only been in the UK once. Is probably not that strange a photo, but Savile himself is v.v.v. strange, so anything involving him at all has insta-weird overtones.

^ yeah

Jello and Tammy Faye ftw!

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 17:35 (thirteen years ago) link

Was trying to figure out if the other person in the photo with them was also a celebrity: Isabella Rosellini? Freddie Mercury? but came up short.

L-R Akira Kurosawa, Sydney Pollack, Babs, and John Huston

Moments after this photo was taken, the room exploded b/c of awesomeness (Kurosawa looks like a total bro)

This one's crying out for a caption:

I'm pretty sure this thread exists solely for the purpose of this photo:

Dolly Parton & Keith Haring!!

Sorry, I was wrong.

Stanley Kubrick & Weegee!!!

this one isn't 'never expected' but it makes me happy and i doubt there was another gathering quite like it:

Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 8 September 2010 06:27 (thirteen years ago) link

Well, I wasn't expecting that one.

On this thread, anyway.

Mark G, Wednesday, 8 September 2010 06:41 (thirteen years ago) link

Lohan, Brit and Paris all in the same place at the same time and the universe didn't collapse in on itself? That's the equivalent of the Dane Cook, Jeremy Piven, Kid Rock photo upthread.

Anthony Kiedis and Edward Norton, pretty sure this was from ilx somewhere

badg, Wednesday, 8 September 2010 07:07 (thirteen years ago) link

this thread is worth its weight in gold

Cunga, Wednesday, 8 September 2010 07:53 (thirteen years ago) link

and I like to imagine Paul Simon and Lou Reed are arguing about who's more responsible for lame indie rock cliches.

Cunga, Wednesday, 8 September 2010 08:00 (thirteen years ago) link

Is Kiedis purposely trying to look like Iggy Pop now?

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 8 September 2010 08:04 (thirteen years ago) link

Kiedis looking very strange there.

Is Kiedis purposely trying to look like Iggy Pop now?

I thought he was always trying to look like Iggy Pop?

Kubrick & Weegee photo is so awesome!

Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 8 September 2010 11:11 (thirteen years ago) link

Kubrick was a New Yorker and worked as photographer in the late 1940s, so it's not that unexpected to see a photo of the two.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 8 September 2010 12:29 (thirteen years ago) link

perhaps this thread coud be renamed 'interesting photos of famous people together' to shut tuomas up

i mean i guess you'd expect these photos to exist because they're musicians who worked together but that in itself seems unlikely if you didn't know and...
