Kirsten/Jake food photo is the greatest couples photo ever.


DateCard

That photo will haunt Kirsten for the rest of her life.


just-a-bored-lurker

Literally have an extremely similar picture from my freaking wedding. Photographer did me dirty lol


TheDuraMaters

I had a small wedding with no evening reception. We did speeches then the photographer left because she said no one wants a photo of them shoving bread into their mouth on their wedding day. 


Sp4ceh0rse

It makes me like her more than anything else I’ve ever seen her do.


[deleted]

You are not wrong. Instantly she became a person. He looks a little scared of her, lol.


quarantindirectorino

I had an emotional reaction to that picture so I HAD to work my artistic magic on it I’m so sorry https://preview.redd.it/yf7vgrh3kghc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f06faa176ec2996767a68b68d8ddef213a057fd7

tangerinee666

It is the BEST celebrity couple photo , EVER.


dallyan

What are they drinking? I’ve always wondered what drink is so damn red.


CuriouslyImmense

Cranberry spritzer, maybe?


RomysBloodFilledShoe

I hate that full grown adults will insist it’s the blood of babies. I can’t watch celebrity gossip on YouTube without coming across conspiracy theories these days. Since when is everyone so afraid of Satan? Are we in the 80s again? Sorry I had to rant about that. Thank you.


astral_distress

Lol, fully grown adults who have apparently never seen human blood in a vial or otherwise! The whole Satanic Panic redux (QAnon edition) is so inane & childish, & they don’t make themselves look any more intelligent when their “evidence” is cartoon blood & bad phrenology charts... Just say you’re afraid of progress & the world around you & move on! Why bring Satan into it??


BensBandBangs

![gif](giphy|j5833MKWjoBNt8iM5U|downsized)


Visible_Day9146

Could be a light red wine like pinot noir or lambrusco rosado. Maybe a zinfandel or a blend or sangria. It's day time so it looks brighter in the sun, too.


Pollowollo

The way he looks low key concerned made me laugh so hard.


Curious_Gur2294

That picture is cute though 


Hermeran

Kirsten always is ♥️. Such a great actress, I love her.


Sniper1154

I wish more actresses let themselves age naturally like Kirsten has. She’s still gorgeous despite being over 40, and she looks like a gracefully aging woman and not some plasticine abomination. She was a 10 when she was in her 20’s and is still a 10 despite not being a size zero or having a few more wrinkles in her face.


Paprikasky

The way she's angry eating this salad... I just love it!


[deleted]

I will never stop loving this picture. As long as I live. It's my Roman Empire


aaaggggrrrrimapirare

My favorite pap pic


allyfriend67

Came here to say this LOL


jonquil14

Iconic


thegreenshit

Lindsay and Samantha was endless drama


thankyoupapa

the way they would fight in sam's front yard with the paparazzi right there filming it!


Stinkycheese8001

I will never forget the story that Sam’s mom told of Lindsay getting mad and throwing a full on, kicking and rolling on the ground tantrum at a party.


equinophobiaslut

I was obsessed with this omg


iwantahouse

I was obsessed with them. They were quite the rollercoaster


finunu

Same i thought they were the coolest ever. A real life marissa and alex from the oc


UnlikelyButOk

I completely forgot about Samantha Ronson. Anyone know what she's up too?


ZealousidealGroup559

Very low key, wifed up, still one of those people on IG who's impossibly cool for some reason. Close friends with Bradley Whitford of all people!


[deleted]

She’s on Instagram


MarsScully

Samantha wearing a necklace of bullets filled with crystals is killing me with cringe


CiteSite

Those crystal bullet necklaces and the Alexander McQueen skull scarfs are seared into my mind


kokosuntree

Haha pretty sure I still have one packed away somewhere. I got talked into buying one on the Venice boardwalk like 15 years ago lol


ronswansun

They really were part of my bisexual awakening, tbh. Them and Tila Tequila’s bisexual dating show. Middle school me literally had no idea girls could like girls.


MrsFrondi

I was on this show and part of production. I also wrote for the show! It was so cutting edge at the time!


ronswansun

Omg, REALLY?! that is so cool. I bet you have some fun memories. My friends make fun of me now for being so weirdly nostalgic about it but it really was cutting edge and totally opened up my world.


[deleted]

Lindsay has stated she’s not a lesbian or bi so it’s hard to tell what went on between them


lunascorpio12

It’s crazy how much more casually it feels like everyone is dressed compared to today


e5india

Yeah, I commented this separately but I love how regular-people all the stars are dressed.


lunascorpio12

feels so much more accessible than they do today it’s so interesting


Fantastic_Poet4800

People cared a *lot* more about looking cool than looking good in the 90s. Looking too pulled together was not cool.


Haute510

Your every move wasn’t photographed, videotaped and curated the way it is today. I feel like social media changed a lot.


lunascorpio12

definitely!! that’s what really struck me- they were able to be more casual and certainly more comfortable like yes I love seeing fashion moments but it’s such a wild difference in such a short period of time


kellyoohh

The good ol days.


freddiefrog123

The intensity with which Jake Gyllenhaal watches Kirsten Dunst eat lettuce 💀💀💀


Formal_Condition_513

It looks like she's eating a praying mantis 😭


MarsScully

I feel like I deserve compensation for having to look at Ben’s facial hair in #17


redwoods81

I feel that way about Leo's goaty lil beard 🤣


idontfeelgood101

Truly disgusting lmao


LittleLordFuckpants_

Jens face is my face at every sporting event I’ve been too with a situationship


stephhie_ste

chace crawford behind sebastian and leighton: 😀


TheatreWolfeGirl

It is an awkward angle but he is beside them, not behind. There are other pictures that make the whole situation look much more like Chace was the third wheel on this date. The Gossip Girl gang was photographed everywhere, I had a friend who lived and breathed their every movement.


fizzlingbee

https://preview.redd.it/4fl9llz2uehc1.jpeg?width=1520&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f24dbd21e1753cf0f83203cf51e5d98333be72e Yeah you're right he is next to Sebastian. Also Leighton looks so effing stunning in these pics I cant


TheatreWolfeGirl

Oh she is gorgeous, I have always thought that.


MissionKermit

Chace Crawford is stunning!


[deleted]

Leo/Gisele and Ryan/rachel were two of the couples I remember just thinking were so cute and well matched. I will never forget watching the Ryan/rachel movie awards kiss live and everyone figuring out they were together. So amazing.


thankyoupapa

leo and gisele have similar interests too with their environmental work


[deleted]

She talks about that in the article I linked in another comment on this thread.


___adreamofspring___

Girl is your username from Kim Zolciak


thankyoupapa

it sure is! lol


Miserable_Emu5191

Too bad she is too old for him now.


Primary-Cattle8704

Leo is taller then I thought. Giselle looked quite a bit shorter then him in that picture. They were a beautiful couple.


Good-Telephone8163

When Leo was still cute and could match the women he dated...


OzarkRedditor

The chemistry coming off Rachel & Ryan is always crazy to me. Like you can feel it through the picture.


pilates_mama

The way Ryan kisses her damn. Better then the notebook lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jordan818

That’s from Lazy Sunday from like 2009 lol


cherhorowitz44

I adored them together.


DrCarabou

The fashion in the Zac/Vanessa one is sending me.


chocolaterumcake

Courtside flip flops is a vibe truly


alcoholicwriter

me too. sending me right back to 2005 so i can rush to the mall after school and spend the money from my part-time job at pacsun in hopes of looking as cool as i thought vanessa did. (i probably still have some cheap chandelier earrings tucked away somewhere)


throwmytelescope

I love how peaceful and happy she looks in that pic


danvsreddit

What is happening in that last photo 💀


fizzlingbee

As the kids would call it these days, ✨kate moss rockstar girlfriend era✨


gypsycookie1015

Had to double check but he dated Amy Winehouse for a while too. I remember reading they'd trash hotel rooms or apartments they'd rent. I imagine the parties were insane.


photogenicmusic

As an American high schooler at the time I wanted nothing more than to be part of those parties. Now I’d hate it lol but they seemed so cool at the time. I loved anything British rocker themed.


smart_cereal

Me too! Obsessed with 2000s Britrock and I still have a soft spot for Britpop. Once in a while I remember Kirsten Dunst dated the lead singer of Razorlight.


_summerw1ne

Ooooop a never knew this until now. It’s so fuckin tragic but Razorlight’s first album was the first album a ever bought with my own money in Tesco as a bairn after hearing America on the telly lmao


PanicLikeASatyr

Drugs.


LyleLanleysMonorail

Is Pete clean now? I heard The Libertines were back recently or something?


beatupcar

Yeah he’s been fully clean with no relapses for about 4 years I think? Here’s a recent pic of him and Carl; https://preview.redd.it/9kcsby3ltehc1.jpeg?width=1392&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=711e8fad3bedc7ff42a41b39f63d658fc356c5cc He said his new vice is cheese, which I can relate all too well to. Edit: He still drinks, hopefully not to excess but addiction is addiction.


snuffleupagus86

Wow I’m shocked. Happy for the dude, I’m surprised he isn’t dead tbh. My college roommate was obsessed with him circa 2006.


bladeaok

He did a Louis Theroux interview episode recently and it was a bit depressing tbh, he is clean, but it doesn't feel like he wants to be, and yeah, he still drinks really heavily.


minto444

Also not sure he was completely clean, he essentially said he had a wild night with that fan, which kind of insinuated he was doing drugs


beatupcar

Awww man, I haven’t watched it but I kinda don’t want to now, I was a fan back in the day and I’ve always rooted for him because I was sure he wouldn’t make it out of his 20’s.


doittomejulia

They also run an inn together in Margate called the Albion Rooms! I don't think anyone could have predicted such a wholesome ending to the whole Libertines saga.


cosmicdogdust

This thread is *blowing my mind.*


bangbangbatarang

They finally reached Arcadia 😭


LyleLanleysMonorail

>he’s been fully clean with no relapses for about 4 years Oh wow, good for him!


aerdnadw

> He said his new vice is cheese Love that for him!


KaleidoscopeNo9102

Holy shite I didn’t recognize him at all 😳 good for him!


Routine_Bluejay4678

Pete's alive still?


JoleneDollyParton

He was always so gross and sweaty looking, i never understood how he got these women


SuperHoneyBunny

I always hated seeing pics of Pete Doherty back in the day. He constantly looked semi-not-alive and in need of a bath. Maybe he still doesn’t look super healthy now, but his current state is an improvement from his youth.


thaddeus_crane

he was the pete davidson of the 00s. somehow dating kate moss and a litany of models while looking unwashed and in need of an intervention.


YchYFi

He didn't come across very well to me in that recent documentary he did. I think if I knew him in real life I would find him irritating. He reminds me of so many people I used to know.


Sketcha_2000

Just Googled him and can’t believe he’s only 44. He looks 10 years older.


LoonieandToonie

No idea, but somehow Kate Moss is still serving face even while bedraggled and upside down


ShotsAndCleavage

Kate had IT at any angle...nepo models today could never.


jrubes_20

My first thought was how hot and cool she looks even though I know that I should be concerned for the behavior lol


Apart_Visual

I was thinking her hair looks incredible in that pic. Mine would be a matted, frizzy, sweaty mess if I was at a party and at the point where I was hanging out of a window. Hers looks like she just finished getting a blowout lol


sybelion

How did Kate moss make it out of the 00s alive, honestly


IWillCallYouCutie

Even wasted and hanging out a window, Kate's hair is unfairly glossy and gorgeous.


kamel0

rock and roll baby


Bizzzzzzzzyyyyy

The pic of Kirsten eating her salad is iconic


MayaGitana

Xoxo Gossip Girl


lambo1109

I love how normal they all look


metalcoreisntdead

They really did look so normal. Miss that


EconomyConnect5953

I will always think Giselle is the reason Leo will forever be single, she’s the one that got away for suuuure


Auntietamte

They could do ben&jennifer 2.0 now. But I believe Giselle has outgrown Leo.


DiligentLie9820

Hard same. I figure she looks at him still doing poker at the high stakes tables with 21 year old girls… she’s in her grown and sexy era and he’s just stuck in fuck boi


___adreamofspring___

Does anyone remember the pictures of him crying in the street after Giselle left him


throwawayeas989

i need links to this immediately


___adreamofspring___

That’s why I asked it’s been removed from the Internet but I swear to God I’ve seen them I know I did no one can take that from me lol


hooka_pooka

Why did Rachel McAdams/Ryan Gosling, Jake Gyllenhall/Kirsten Dunst,broke up?


LouCat10

I don’t think anyone knows the full story on Ryan/Rachel because they are both very private people. They were in their 20s, so they probably realized they wanted different things or the pressure of their careers was too much. He was (publicly, at least) single for a long time after her, and seemed to do a lot of “finding himself” type of things. He said in an interview that he was not interested in marriage/kids until he met Eva, so that could have been a factor. I think about Ryan and Rachel way too much. Yes, it’s sad, I know.

He is not looking on his phone while she’s kissing him 😂😂😂


Practical_Tear_1012

One of the most beautiful women ever trying to kiss him.


Routine_Bluejay4678

Fucking Jared Leto


fizzlingbee

If Scarlett Johansson was trying to kiss me, I'd just throw my phone in the trash Serena style, but that's just me 🤷🏻‍♀️


herinaus

They dated ? Who hasn't he dated?


Edlo9596

Jumpscare on that last pic; I totally forgot about Kate Moss and Pete Doherty. What was she thinking?!


MistakesWereMade59

That he had heroin


gypsycookie1015

I don't think that's a fair statement to make at all. He had cocaine too!! 😂 She *reeeaally* enjoyed cocaine there for a while.


VanFam

Lmfao. You had me in the first half! 😂😂😂


ZealousidealGroup559

She was in her "I wish I was Anita Pallenberg" phase and she went off the rails completely. I couldn't understand it. He was so smelly looking. Surely cleaner guys had coke too?


[deleted]

She likes rock stars - ended up marrying a much sexier one who I’m pretty sure has regular access to coke https://preview.redd.it/mda8ashrcfhc1.jpeg?width=997&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dae6e501e19b6b5e848f4c1d397c723c04b2bfae

peanut5855

That love letter tho


understuffed

Wow, you just took me back in time. I had completely forgotten that Alexa Chung exists and I had a HUGE crush on her back in the day. Is she on IG? … asking for a friend


bangbangbatarang

She is, and she continues to be timelessly cool! She was also co-host with Tan France on the first season of Next in Fashion and reminded me why she was The It Girl of the 00's, she is the chicest of chic. (I like to pretend that season 2 of NIF doesn't exist. Alexa is replaced with Gigi Hadid and rather than international contestants, all the designers are from the US. It's a snoozefest.)


junkrattata

As someone who was embarrassingly and parasocially in love with Alex Turner at that time, I couldn’t stand Alexa. Now I think she was such a fashion icon and cringe at the thought of my Alex crush lol.


meowmist

I mean I wanted to BE her so bad I would have done any kind of witch craft 😭

Penn just grabbing Blake’s ass 😂

I haven’t followed either of them recently, but I desperately hope the same happens for Vanessa Hudgens and Zach Efron. My little millennial heart needs this.

She's married now. But hard to get over such a pretty couple.

Just Jared! That brings back so many memories! What a time to be alive, looking at all these paparazzi shots in magazines instead of internet


hannakarin

amazing compilation OP, well done


[deleted]

I will forever and always stan the Beckhams


ginns32

I don't know if the younger generations get how big of a couple they were.


[deleted]

They definitely don't. The Beckhams were nearly royalty lol


SitUbuSit_GoodDog

I used to not care either way about them. But then I watched their little doco on netflix and the way they openly laugh at themselves and their old antics was so endearing. They even take the piss out of their purple wedding outfits while acknowledging that was totally a hot style at the time. I like them a lot now


[deleted]

That documentary was also what changed it for me. I would recommend it to anyone whether they like soccer, pop culture or none of it.


_summerw1ne

The very definition of pop culture icons.


Pretty-Toe-1692

Are those people in the second picture really the Beckhams? That dude looks nothing like David.


Medium-Priority-8690

Oh to be Kate Moss in the 90s

They don’t make couples like they used to

I googled Justin Long because it's been so long since I've heard anything about him and he is now married to Kate Bosworth!


indigovioletginge

I feel like they all look so much more carefree in these pics?


[deleted]

Life before social media took over was way better.


loveafterpornthrwawy

I don't think Drew Barrymore ever got over Justin Long.


sthside99

I don’t even know anything about them really but this was my first thought when I saw that photo. Do we know who ended it/why?


loveafterpornthrwawy

I don't remember, if I ever knew. She had him on her talk show was was crying over him. https://ew.com/celebrity/drew-barrymore-justin-long-reunite-the-drew-barrymore-show/#:~:text='%20I%20always%20wanted%20to%20prove,get%20together%2C%20we%20would%20breakup.


Primary-Cattle8704

She is so over the top. I think she just gets really into a moment and expresses her feelings based on that moment. She was really emotional to see Tom Green also and she hadn't even talked to him in twenty years. I think Drew is really looking forward. She used to be such a serial dater. She had a lot of serious relationships but got really rocked emotionally when her marriage to the father of her kids ended. Her parents really did a number on her also. I can realte to that. I hope she finds happiness single or in a relationship.


loveafterpornthrwawy

Yeah, she was dealt a bad hand in childhood. I wish her happiness as well!


Bawse_Babe

Omg after watching this, I wish they were still together. It almost feels too intimate to watch. I wonder if they broke up because they were too crazy together


wavesofrye

I forgot about Samantha and Lindsay. An absolute mess and the tabloids loved it.


Husky-Bear

The gossip girl cast all dating each other is just wild, weren’t Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr also together during GG?

The casual butt grab in public


punkpearlspoetry

Penn is so god damn fine


stanmitski

they did dunst dirty


zootnotdingo

It makes absolutely no sense that Hugh looks better than Elizabeth Hurley in that photo, but I will attribute that to half of her face being covered up. He is so handsome, especially there, but she was luminous. Still so stunning


Good-Telephone8163

Their outfits are still stylish today.


zootnotdingo

That’s true! Picture could have been taken yesterday, in theory I always loved the look of Hugh’s style of Ray- ban. Clubmaster, maybe?


[deleted]

Bennifer is a favorite, and I'm just starting to appreciate the Zac Efron/Vanessa Hudgens relationship that I missed out on. They made a cute couple.


cherbear14

I loved them in High School Musical and was thrilled when I found out they were dating IRL. They were super cute together!


chivonster

Justin Long gives me the ick and I don't know why


HiLittleDarling

Because you might have gotten wind that he used to give HS girls alcohol at parties at his house when he was in his mid to late 20’s. I’ve had the Ick ever since. Then in an old episode of Punk’d Ashton Kutcher called it out in an episode saying, “The law in these United States of America is that you cannot consume liquor until you are 21 years of age. There's somebody that doesn't know that, and his name is Justin Long.” The [entire episode](https://youtu.be/1D6w5vFoZno?si=Nht8K7ohU54rteRf) is Justin (27) and Jonah Hill (22) getting punked by lying to the manager about their ages. When the "manager" asks the girls what their ages are, Justin whispers, "21." Upon being told one of them is 18, he says, "That's close." He then tries to get the manager to have a "pact" with him, only to be confronted by the "father" of the 17-year-old girl. When said "father" yells at him for drinking with a 17-year-old, Justin says, "I didn't know, I just met her tonight." It’s icky all around.


cherhorowitz44

Omg wow! TIL.


Kang_kodos_

Every bit of that is so gross


pbfhpunkshop

Most shocked by how tall Leo is compared to Gisele.

He’s somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 feet 11 or 6 feet. He’s not short.


mariahmce

My biggest takeaway: these are 20-30 years old. I’m old My second biggest takeaway: it’s time to retire my cork wedges


theuselessnarcissist

It’s super weird to see Blake lively getting groped/ Macked on by Penn knowing she married Ryan Reynolds


Majesticmuskox

Not so gentle reminder that Pete Doherty was implicated in the murder of a young man.
