Julia Roberts
The world of celebrity is a mysterious one. And we\'ve found some strange star couples from the past and present that have left us wondering just what they saw in each other...
Macho, macho man
Brad Pitt,couples,dating,celebrity relationship
Brad Pitt and Sinitta
Who would have put a fading \'80s popstar and a Hollywood biggie together? But apparently, back in the days when Brad was a TV star (remember his brief appearance in \'Dallas\'?), he hooked up with none other than Sinitta. The relationship lasted for two years and hit the wall because Sinitta, by all accounts, was just too wild for sensible Brad.
The \'So Macho\' singer recalls, \'I was really young and at the peak of my career and I didn\'t want to sit and be romantic and eat dinner at home. I think he looked after me more than I looked after him. But I didn\'t want to be looked after too much. I didn\'t want another mother\'
A little bit country
Julia roberts,couples,celebrity relationship
Lyle Lovett and Julia Roberts
It really was a case of beauty marrying the beast... the only thing was, he didn\'t turn into a prince and there wasn\'t a fairytale ending. The world looked on aghast as the original Pretty Woman married her unlikely match, craggy-faced country singer Lyle Lovett, who, let\'s face it, is no Richard Gere. But the marriage only lasted for a couple of years and the pair divorced in 1995
Michael Jackson & Lisa Marie Presley

Michael Jackson & Lisa Marie Presley
This could have been a match made in music heaven. Unfortunately, the once-handsome Michael completely changed his looks with extensive cosmetic surgery and suffered a personality crisis after years of living in Neverland. And Lisa Marie, daughter of the King of rock \'n\' roll, had serious self-esteem issues. We can\'t even imagine the conversations these two might have had, let alone anything else!
Dita von Teese & Marilyn Manson
Dita von Teese,couples,celebrity relationship
Dita Von Teese & Marilyn Manson
As different as they both may be, put them together and they made a striking couple. Dita may dress like a \'50s goddess, but she is a wild one on stage, regularly dunking herself in and out of giant martini glasses while wearing no more than a teeny-weeny bikini. An act quite different from her Manson\'s controversial musical musings... but perhaps they bonded over middle America\'s condemnation of their methods of earning a living before von Teese filed for divorce late in 2006
Heather Locklear & David Spade
couples,dating,celebrity relationship
Heather Locklear & David Spade
Ex-wife of Bon Jovi musician Richie Sambora and Mötley Crüe\'s Tommy Lee, actress Heather Locklear, once dubbed the \'queen of mean\' due to the evil characters she portrayed, is now dating baby-faced comedian David Spade. Perhaps the \'Dynasty\' star has had enough drama in her life and just wants someone to make her laugh,
Unsurprisingly, the couple split in May 2006.
Bridget Jones meets Jack
Renee Zellweger,couples,celebrity relationship
Jack White and Renée Zellweger
Friends of White Stripes rocker Jack White were shocked when he started a relationship with straight-laced Hollywood actress Renée Zellweger. Suddenly, he started enjoying cosy nights in - a far cry from his wild nights of partying. But it seems Jack missed his crazy benders too much and the pair split in 2004
The pop star and the It Girl
Robbie Williams,couples,dating,celebrity relationship,tara palmer tomkinson
Robbie and Tara
Rumour once had it that Tara Palmer-Tomkinson and Robbie Williams holed themselves up for days at his place, getting it on, eating, sleeping and listening to Robbie\'s new songs. They may come from different walks of life, but both have struggled with drug addictions and living in the glare of the paparazzi, so maybe this coupling isn\'t so odd after all
Going for gold, but finishing last
gold,finishing
tom kelly 240x370
OK, so they weren\'t officially a couple, but after meeting on Michael Parkinson\'s talk show, Tom Cruise rang Olympic gold medallist Kelly Holmes and invited her to accompany him to the premiere of his film \'Collateral\'. Sadly for Tom, the champ turned him down flat, claiming she was exhausted after all the homecoming celebrations. She did tell the superstar that she would most definitely be available next time, so maybe we should watch out for that duo on the red carpet.
She\'s not such a fan
Courtney Love,couples,celebrity news,celebrity relationship
Courtney Love and Steve Coogan
This must be one of the most bizarre pairings in the entire celeb kingdom. Rock groupie Courtney Love, who was married to Kurt Cobain, had a two-week fling and allegedly got pregnant by our very own Steve Coogan.
Courtney now appears to regret this little affair: \'Given the A-grade stars I\'ve dated, it\'s embarrassing. I mean... Alan Partridge!\'

Tom Cruise,Katie Holmes,couples,celebrity relationship
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
Tom Cruise\'s relationship with Katie Holmes has courted massive controversy from day one. Who would have paired the cute ex-\'Dawson\'s Creek\' actress with the household Hollywood name and devout Scientologist Tom Cruise? Not least because of their 16-year age gap.
Rumours were rife that it was a publicity stunt. If it was, it hardly worked in their favour, as the relationship marked a downfall in Cruise\'s career as he continually embarrassed himself, publicly declaring his love for Holmes. Since then fans have campaigned to \'Free Katie\' from the relationship, while others are more concerned her wardrobe has prematurely aged since their romance began. Despite this, they\'re still going strong - within two years the couple were engaged, married and have had their first child together
The author and the boozer
couples,dating,celebrity news,celebrity relationship
Shane MacGowan and Victoria Mary Clarke
Shane MacGowan, the toothless musician as well known for his boozing as his singing, doesn\'t exactly seem like a good catch for a healthy yoga-practising author. Victoria Mary Clarke has admitted the former Pogues singer is no Brad Pitt, but she claims to love her \'sweet pea\' and the odd-looking couple have recently confirmed their engagement. Rather her than us.
Jungle love

David Gest and Malandra Burrows
We always knew David Gest was weird. Matching him to the equally unconventional Liza Minnelli was hard enough, but to ex-\'Emmerdale\' actress Malandra Burrows is just plain bizarre.
Quite aptly, the random couple met in the Australian jungle when appearing on \'I\'m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!\' While we wouldn\'t be blamed for being sceptical, it could be more than a publicity stunt, as they are actually keeping quiet about their romance. Either that, or no one\'s listening
Kiss from a rose
Heidi Klum,couples,celebrity relationship
Heidi Klum and Seal
His mates must be questioning how he did it. Not only is she is a stunning international supermodel, but German-born Heidi Klum is also a successful actress, presenter and singer. To many people\'s surprise she married English soul singer Seal, who, most would agree, doesn\'t exactly share her sex-symbol status.
As a good example of beauty being in the eye of the beholder, the couple are still going strong and have no less than three children together
Little and large
couples,dating,celebrity news,celebrity relationship
Sophie Dahl Jamie Cullum
Perhaps the most unlikely pairing in celebdom at the moment: pint-sized pop jazz sensation Jamie Cullum and fashionista Sophie Dahl began dating after meeting at the Lavender Trust Ball earlier this year.
Even the 8in height difference doesn\'t seem to be deterring Jamie from beaming at his lanky lady-love. Someone get him a \'Yellow Pages\'!
Gasp at the age gap
celebrity news,celebrity relationship
Celine Dion and Rene Angelil
Canadian warbler Celine Dion opted for a man 26 years older than her when she wed in 1994. The fact that her hubby René Angelil was also her manager and re-mortgaged his home to finance her first record probably helped her over the hurdle of an age difference.
Family gatherings must be a relaxing affair, as René\'s oldest son from his first marriage is the same age as Celine
The Addams Family

Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton
The sartorially challenged Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton - who are expecting a sibling for their three-year-old son, Billy Raymond, in December - boast an unusual living arrangement: they share two London houses with interconnecting doors, to allow them their own space.
Now the couple have applied for planning permission to house an authentic £9,000 shepherd\'s hut in their garden for their \'expanding family\'
Walliams and his Miss X
celebrity news,celebrity relationship
David Walliams and Lisa Snowdon
Have unlikely couple David Walliams and Lisa Snowdon rekindled the flames of love? We only ask as the \'Little Britain\' funnyman was spotted on a cosy dinner date with the ex-model at London\'s posh Nobu.
The pair dated three years ago and it seems Walliams has never got over George Clooney\'s former squeeze. In his autobiography he describes Snowdon as Miss X, the woman he could not live without. One diner said: \'They looked very relaxed in each other\'s company\'
