I think she was a wrestler too.

This page is bananas and includes this:

Who are they? The URL doesn't help.

<3 andy w and mean gene.

Alicia Keys (shame on you, Tuomas) + Gerry Adams (xp)

The pic was taken from the front, that's why I didn't recognize her.

(Sorry if that sounded offensive, just a silly ILX reference.)

Apparently in that first photo I posted Sir Jimmy Savile and Frank Bruno are meeting the Yorkshire Ripper.

The ones I didn't recognise in the second are Liberace and wrestler Wendi Richter.

Also, Bruno and Sutcliffe - is that a masonic handshake? http://bit.ly/wuuNqH

fwiw

I recognise Jay-Z above, but haven't a clue to the rest. Is that Jake Gylenhaal with his gob open?

The kid is Justin Timberlake, no? Don't know about the others.

Bieber.

Okay, I hear you. Fair point.

Thread's got over 1000 answers, so no worries if one gets reposted. Just sayin' though.

I can't name all the people in that Jay Z pic either, but at least Skrillex is getting attacked.

I recognize Jay-Z, Aziz Ansari, Bieber and Kid Cudi.

The lol thing about that is the datestamp on the bottom right corner.

May 89th, 2020. In the future, months have more days, but there are fewer months.

we've gone through this at least once before

the woman is Rashida Jones

Also guy with the green hat is Tyler The Creator.

Still wowing at Alicia and Gerry. What this thread was made for!

can people actually, like, write who is who? i seriously don't recognise 80% of these people, even the ones i've heard of

future pics would benefit by actually naming the celebs. i don't subscribe to entertainment weekly, unfortunately.

It would be nice if people actually wrote the names of the people in the pics, I have no idea who some of these foks are...

I have no who the other two are... But at this point I've given up hope people would actually include the names with the pics.

For real.

the impression that i get is that if you don't recognise who the people are then you won't get why its unusual why they're photographed together, and that writing underneath who they are might somehow spoil the surprise of seeing them together - have i got that right? i don't mind either way personally...

No, I didn't recognize Alicia Keys, even though I'm familiar with her work. The thought of her and Adams sitting next to each other is still mind boggling.

famous to me

Peter Brötzmann, Evan Parker, Anthony Braxton

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.

So yeah, like Billy Dods I certainly know Alicia Keys is, just don't know her face well enough to have recognized her in that pic.

"know who Alicia Keys is"

Didn't realize that was Liberace in the first pic. I mistook him for a particularly goofy David Hasselhoff.

(second pic)

sorry Tuomas but I'm not gonna label this one, you're on your own:

wow somebody found a picture of a nerd and a star trek character

"a nerd"

gah my first one of those got de-hotlinked, here it is again.

oh it's back now, sorry for the double posting

actually kind of a star trek character and a star trek character xpost

OJ Simpson, J Edgar Hoover, dunno the other guy

didn't work

other guy is Larry Csonka

I'm afraid I am British and he wasn't in Naked Gun or any high profile murder case. It takes more than a couple of Super Bowls for your name to cross the pond.

fair enough. He's also hard to recognize without the trademark moustache.

Wait, I never would have expected Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Eric Clapton to be together? pffft. I thought that trio got together for brunch every Sunday.

I agree that the second half of the title of the thread has been oft neglected of late.

I was waiting for that objection but tbf I'd be surprised if the three of them have been in the same room much of late. That photo was taken backstage at the old groaner's 30th anniversary shindig at Madison Square Garden.

Besides I think a lot of the pleasure from some of these photos comes out of the fact that they are unposed and informal, which that one certainly is.
