Celebrity connections.
rehna February 14th, 2008
Here’s a game. I’ll start with the name of a celebrity
and you continue with another celeb who is somehow
connected to the first and so on and so on.
The connection can be anything; professional,
personal, any tenuous link you like!
I’ll start with Bafta winner and all round God:
Daniel Day Lewis
- The Movie Salon
- Comments(172)
Day-Lewis once dated Juliet Binoche
Juliet Binoche won a best supporting actress oscar against all the odds because that year it was supposed to go to LAUREN BACALL
Lauren Bacall starred on broadway in the show ” Applause” and was married to Humphrey Bogart
Humphrey Bogart starred in a movie with Katherine Hepburn called the Africian Queen. in the sound track - Easy Rider was a song “don’t Bogart that join my friend” in reference to Humphrey Bogarts dying of lung cancer.
Katharine Hepburn has won 4 oscars, the highest number by an actress. The record for most nominations is held by Meryl Streep
Meryl Streep famously had a farm in Africa in out of Africa. An actress who is from Africa is CHARLIZE THERON
Charlize Theron used to be a model as is skanky kate Moss
Kate Moss has always been skanky but when she dated Johnny Depp he was skanky too —-
In an interview with Playboy (1/96), Johnny said about the marriage rumors, “It’s fiction. I can guarantee you that if I woke up one day with a wild hair up my ass to get hitched, there wouldn’t be invitations. We’d run out and do it.”
apparently he’s never gotten that wild hair
Johnny Depp’s great love was WINONA RYDER
Winona Ryder who was tried and conviced of shop lifting also starred with Gary Oldman in Dracula one of Peaches favorite erotic and scary movies.. bite me Gary…please
Here’s one for the Brits. Did you know that Gary oldman is the brother of the woman who plays big Mo in EastEnders!
Gary Oldman plays Sirius Black in Harry Potter. Harry was orignally meant to be played by Hayley joel Osment
pa-cha!!! And when J.K. Rowling said no to Hayle Joel Osmeth Steven Speilberg dropped out of directing Harry Potter 1, Steven you were wrong buddy. Um Steven Speilberg directed Hayley Joel Osmeth in A.I. aka the longest most boring piece of crap in history or maybe close.. :)
Spielberg is directing the new Indiana Jones movie starring Harrison Ford (even though he’s too old to play Indy now)
Harrison Ford played Hans Solo. Beyonce left a group to go solo!
LOL!
Beyonce played Foxy Cleopatra with Mike Myers in Austin Powers and I thought she was pretty darn good.
Hello Tony Soprano!
Hello there Diana.
Mike Myers was in Wayne in Wayne’s world 2 which starred the gorgeous Kim Basinger
the gorgeous and sexy Kim Basinger was in Cool World with the ever sexy and drool worthy Brad Pitt did I mention he has munchy lips?
OK tired of waiting —
Brad Pitt played a quirky character (Mickey O’Neil) with a gypsie/irish accent in the movie Snatch. He starred with Dennis Farina.
Dennis Farina was in Get Shorty with John Travolta.
Tony Soprano, love the name!
Travolta wore a famous white suit in Saturday Nigth Fever and as a young man I might have worn something similar myself and considered myself to be the epitome of elegance! Ah, foolish days but happy ones.
The music in the film was supplied by the Bee Gees
The best looking of the Bee Gees was Barry Gibb who performed with Barbra Streisand on a song called “I am a women in love” to which I own but won’t play because Barbra lied and didn’t get on that boat and leave the country when she promised to If George Bush became the president… she’s a fibber.
Babs shocked the world by caliming she’s had an affair with big ears PRINCE CHARLES
Prince Charles .. wait.. what did you just say? …bwa hahaha oh my gosh a kid with his ears and her nose. Notice God didn’t let him reproduce with Camilla don’t you? ahem
Prince Charles is the father of the William who looks darn good in a speedo to bad he’s loosing his hair
William had a private party where the Spice Girls showed up and sang.
The Spice Girls had a movie that the humorous Stephen Fry was also in.
Steven Fry just made a movie called Valkyrie with Tom Cruise and it’s about a German war hero, we’re all going to be standing in line for that little bit of tribute to War World 2.. I know I can’t wait to cheer on a guy from the wrong team. Let us all hope Steven isn’t wearing a aluminum foil cap. Hey wait I know Steven Fry he does the Harry Potter audio books while Americans have Jim Dale. Ha I like Jim Dale!
Tom Cruise was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon.
I’ll go out on a limb and say Stephen Fry was just faffing around when he signed on for that movie.
Tom Cruise saved the purity of his ‘organ’ whilst married to Mimi Rogers
We must have cross posted maggie. I’ll go with yours.
Kevin Bacon was in mystic River with Tim Robbins
I don’t know. I think a post that has saving the purity of one’s organ while married trumps mine.
Tim Robbins was in Shawshank Redemption with Morgan Freeman.
*taking a break for dinner now.
Organs and I can’t talk about pasties.. humph I tell you Valkyrie is going to crash and burn and you can say the Peach said so.
Morgan Freeman was in a lot of good movies but I love him most in Driving Miss Daisy with Jessica Tandy
Jessica was in batteries not included with Elizabethe Pena.
Elizabethe Pena played Rosie in the movie LaBamba Esai Morales played her husband
They all sound South American as is Salma hayek
hayek played Frida kahlo whose paintings are collected by madonna
MADONNA used to get her groove on with Sean Penn……….
Sean Penn got his grove on with Robin Wright Penn and they have 2 children and are separated because of rumored cheating.
Robin Wright Penn starred with Carey Ewels or however you spell it in the Princess Bride.. mawiage is what bawings us togewaha AS You Wish!! Man he was hot in that movie.
Robin Wright Penn should have starred in Robin Hood but she got pregnant. Her lead would have been
KEVIN COSTNER
Kevin starred in JFK……directed by Ollie Stone.
Oliver Stone directed Alexander one big box office dud maybe because all the characters spoke with a Irish accent because the lead was Colin Farrell
Colin Farrell shows some smooth moves in Miami Vice with his buddy:
JAMIE FOXX
Jamie Foxx with the huge ego was in Dreamgirls with Eddie Murphy who got Mel B pregnant and then swore it wasn’t his because he’s a cad who pouted because he lost the Oscar for Dreamgirls but may win the Razzie
Eddie the talking donkey annoyed the hell outta grumpy Mike Myers.
mike myers starred in Austin Powers movies with a mini me
alter in the form of Vern Troyer. Mike is an awesome comedian and actor. Lately, though some ‘funny’ rumors’ has been going around that insinuate his ‘gun’ liking same brand. heh!
Vern Troyer played Griphook the goblin in Harry Potter and the Socerers Stone with Richard Harris who was the best Dumbledore…. that was before J.K. Rowling started running around saying “he’s gay! he’s gay! I tell you Dumbledore is gay!! Whats next, Harry was really a girl? pa-cha :(
Ok, I’ve registered a few of you as people who can start threads.
Anyone else who wants to be able to do so, please email me a password and I’ll register you.
Once you tell me you can start threads with no problem, I’ll start inviting new people. Obviously, not everyone can be registered so get your bids in while there’s only a small group of us.

The local posters can come through me, so I’m looking mostly at you who are abroad.
Richard Harris was one of the original ‘hell raisers’ with Richard Burton

River Phoenix starred with Kiefer Sutherland in the movie Stand By Me
Kiefer was jilted pretty much at the altar by JULIA ROBERTS
Julia Roberts was quite awful in Mary Reilly with John Malkovich.
John Malkovich was once in a film made by my brother!
But since most of you don’t know my brother, i’ll be kind and give you another conncection.
My brother also once worked with Ewan McGregor
Ewan McGregor was in three Star Wars movies, two with Hayden Christensen to whom I’d love to do but he already has a beard.
Hayden took the role in Star wars after it was turned down by the original choice Leonardo Di Caprio

I didn’t know Leo passed on Star Wars.. wow.
Robert DeNiro was in the movie Analyze this with Billy Crystle.

Meg Ryan was in my favorite guilty pleasure romance movie Sleepless in Seattle with Rosie O’Donnell

I loved Little house on the prairie. Um, the connection. hmmm. Melissa Gilbert dated Tom Cruise when they were both teenagers!
Tom Cruise once dated Cher
Cher (with Sonny) recorded I got you babe. The song was recorded by Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders. (I thought I’d put in a rock connection here!)
By the way, Cricket, welcome to the board. Great to see you!
Chrissie Hynde had a song on the sountrack from Bridget Jones Diary which starred Hugh Grant
Thank you for inviting me over.
Nice to see you too
Hugh Grant is an irritating, pompous one trick pony who lived with the talentless and irritating but strangely attractive Elizabeth Hurley.
Smug, annoying Elizabeth hurley was given away at her ridiculous wedding by Elton John
Elton John wrote Candle In The Wind about Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn made a film with a male star who was totally unmoved by her charms and rather hated her apparently - he was LAURENCE OLIVIER
LAURENCE OLIVIER was in WUTHERING HEIGHTS with MERLE OBERON
Merle oberon was half Indian as is Ben Kingsley
Ben Kingsley is in a movie called The Wackness where he makes out with Mary-Kate Olson
oK Cricket, go for this one - The Olson girls often channel the style of a rock legend in their clothes, namely the fantastic STEVIE NICKS of Fleetwood Mac
Stevie Nicks did a duet called LEATHER AND LACE with Don Henley from The EAGLES
I think Stevie Nicks look much better in that style than the Olson Twins do.
The Eagles greatest hits is the biggest selling album in US music history. The biggest selling greatest hits album in the UK is by Queen led by Freddie Mercury
Bohemian Rhapsody by Freddie Mercury and Queen was used in Wayne’s World which starred Mike Meyers
Mike Myers is Austin Powers, international man of mystery. His right hand man in that film is Robert Wagner

No I’m sorry I didn’t get it. But Happy Birthday anyway!!!
Richard Gere was in Sommersby with Jodie Foster
Jodie Foster is a good friend of Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson was in What Woman Want with Helen Hunt
Helen Hunt won an undeserved oscar beating the much better performance that year of Helena Bonham Carter
Helena Bonham Carter recently had a baby with director Tim Burton
Tim Burton has done some movies I don’t care for. However I did like Big Fish with the wonderful actress–Alison Lohman.
Alison Lohman was in White Oleander where Michelle Pfeiffer played her mother

Jim Carrey made his debut in a Dirty Harry film. Dirty Harry is Clint EASTWOOD
Clint Eastwood’s Million dollar baby got a second Oscar for Hilary Swank
Hilaey Swank used to be married to Chad Lowe
Chad Lowe must have got the brains because his brother ROB LOWE obviously got the looks!
Rob Lowe dated Melissa Gilbert from Little House On The Prarie for 6 years
I didn’t know that. Melissa Gilbert, when she was younger looked liked the actress who played Darlene in Roseanne. I can’t remember her real name so my connection is ROSEANNE.
That actress was Sara Gilbert Melissa’a sister. Rosseanne married Tom Arnold who used to be on her show.He was her second husband.
Wow, all this time i didn’t know that! Thanks Cricket - no wonder they looked similar.
Ok, I’m going for a slightly odd link here - Roseanne and Tom Arnold were famously photographed mud wrestling for a feature in uber celeb magazine VANITY FAIR
Vainty Fair published the first photos of Suri Cruise 4 months after her birth.
Suri’s mother is looking sad and thin these days. What is really happening with Katie Holmes?
