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

CAVEAT: I'm only happy about this one because I like to pretend that the ceiling caved in two seconds after this photo was taken killing all three where they stood.

That is a douchepocalypse right there.

I like this photo, not totally unlikely, but still a whole lot of famous. Saw first on an ILM thread, I think.

The picture of Chavez and Courtney Love makes me want to puke.

God, Roth is destroyed in that picture.

Errrr didn't mean to post it twice. I don't like it that much.

you must have really liked that photo, to have posted it twice

:p

I scrolled down, didn't realise it was a duplicate pic, and thought that my browser was as wasted as DLR.

Courtney Love looks exactly like the Joker in that picture.

Guess with Tyson: Joyce Carol Oates??? I know she's done a lot of writing about boxing, so that one might not be that weird.

saw this on the 'Great British Getty Images' twitter account - Brian Johnson, Gary Numan, Jenny Frost, Ms Dynamite, Nigel Benn and Melissa Joan Hart on the 2006 tv show 'The Race' (other participants in the show not pictured here - Denise Van Outen, Iain Lee, Eddie Irvine, David Coulthard, Les Ferdinand, Nick Moran, Tamara Ecclestone, Ingrid Tarrant)

I learn from the internet that "Numan did win on the overall leaderboard, though he lost the final race to AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson".

Just noticed that they've given Ms Dynamite a jacket that says 'Miss Dynamite'. Get it together, production team of 2006 Sky One reality game show 'The Race'!

Agnes Varda and Harrison Ford

Oh I guess he is in one of her docs? The World of Jacques Demy?

Most surprising, perhaps, is the revelation that Demy originally wanted Harrison Ford for the lead role in “The Model Shop” that was eventually played by Gary Lockwood. The then unknown actor was turned down by the studio (Columbia); Ford, filmed at a snowy Wyoming location, reveals that a studio exec asserted he had “no future in this business.” The actor describes visiting real L.A. model shops with Demy for research purposes.

(I didn't know about this as I've not seen the doc... very cool photo.)

Around the same time Ford had what has been described as a decent-sized role in Zabriskie Point that was completely cut out of the film, although it's been said you can see parts of him in the jail scene.

The same place I saw that photo I learned that Ford was also friends with Jim Morrison and roadied for the Doors:

Not only that, I learned that Agnes Varda was good friends with Jim Morrison!

Allegedly she was one of a handful of people allowed to attend his funeral.

Ford had what has been described as a decent-sized role in Zabriskie Point that was completely cut out of the film, although it's been said you can see parts of him in the jail scene.

I thought he was the almost offscreen man who talks to Daria Halprin in the house just before the climax.

Famously offscreen in "ET" as well.

XP IMDb says we're both right!

Zabriskie Point (1970)

Harrison Ford fans know his scenes were cut from this film. However, look closely in the jail scene: he's standing against the back wall near the door. Harrison Ford's scene was deleted but his voice remains in Rod Taylor's phone-call scene. This (non) appearance is, in fact, Ford's last uncredited film role.

Hmm, I just watched the sequence I was thinking of, and I seem to have imagined that she spoke to a younger man in a glass-doored corridor after talking to her boss but before leaving the house.

Triple H was on Sunday Brunch yesterday and took part in a potato peeling contest with Tony Hadley, Chesney Hawkes, Sara Cox and Bridget Christie. Christie later posted a photo with him on Instagram and said he was "a genuinely lovely guy"

Who won the contest?

Van the Man looking like Van the Very Old Man there.

he looks like Kamara's ventriloquist dummy, and Kamara is not very good at concealing his speech.

Jon Anderson? Don't know the other two.

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark in the middle

and Tommy Lee

I thought it might be Tommy Lee. Elvira is some American thing.

"Jon Anderson? Don't know the other two."

In another world, with a different photo that had more of Elvira and less of Tommy Lee, that would have been a great Carry On-style joke.

GARBAGE Frontwoman SHIRLEY MANSON Shares Touching Tribute to BRENT HINDS Following His Death on Thursday (Aug. 21st).
“Oh my sweet soul brother @bhinds. I am utterly devastated to learn of your death,” she wrote on Instagram. “I loved you from the second we met all these years ago now in Mexico City when we were first introduced by my darling Eric Avery who preceded our introduction with the words ‘You are going to love him’ and I f*cking did.
“I love you. And the world is so much less wild and free and beautiful without you in it. Rest easy my brother. Keep me a seat at the bar will you?
“My sincere condolences to all your fellow bandmates and all the various musicians who love you and have been influenced by your work. My thoughts, sincere sympathy and condolences to your family and to your fans. You will be so missed. Love love love always. Your girl, Shirl x”
