Hollywood Couples Who Rock!

 

Hollywood romances come and go and often our favorite star hook-ups don’t even make it to the altar even after all those highly publicized exotic vacations, blinding bling presents and all that public smooching and butt grabbing they put us through.  Worse—others who “I Do”—in the end don’t—and matrimonial bliss ends up mere a flash in the pan, with a way too cordial divorce (nobody buys) and it’s onto the next love of his/her life.  February is ‘lovers month’ so we just had to pick our favorite couples—some married some not—nevertheless, public opinion seems to be that we’re all rooting for these match-ups.  More than that—we’re certain the angels in heaven will weep and here on earth all hell will break loose—if they don’t make it!

 

HEIDI KLUM & SEAL

If ever there was a Hollywood couple with a story book beginning that took them straight to a snappy “I do” and all the way to forever and beyond…it’s these two.  Forget gorgeous, everything about them is CUTE including their three kids, Leni, Harry and Johan (all under age six)!  With their fourth year of marriage comin’ round the bend what we like is that they cuddle and froth over each other no matter where they are. They dig each other and we dig them!  German-born supermodel Klum announced to the world that she and Seal were engaged at the end of 2004, and what a proposal it had been!  Skiing in British Columbia, the Nigerian born/British raised, R&B superhunk hired a helicopter to take them to the top of a 14,000 foot glacier to do the asking.  They married on a beach near Seal’s home in Costa Careyes, Mexico months later in 2005.  Klum is proud as punch to this very day over landing the 6’4” superstar stating to InStyle magazine, “Sometimes I lie in bed and I’m like, ‘Oh my god, there’s Seal lying next to me.  What’s he doing there?  I get a smile on my face immediately.  Some people wake up in the morning and turn over when they see their mate. That’s not us.  Our honeymoon period is definitely not over.”  We hope not!  The duo first locked eyes in late 2003.  Klum had abruptly ended a long-term relationship with a man who had to have been crazier than a loon to let her get away.  Klum soon discovered that she was pregnant by the bad boyfriend and was ready to go it alone as a mommy warrior, when she accidently hit Seal’s radar screen. The two started kicking it with some serious dating.  What the heart wants the heart gets and when Klum gave birth to her baby daughter in 2004, Seal was standing right by her side and promptly assumed the role of the baby’s father.  Two more kiddies (sons) followed zippity split and now the family lives happily ever-after in Beverly Hills where all rich, happy people live.  When the Grammy Award winning singer—who by the way has a degree in architecture is not globe-trotting around with his stellar concert career (15,000,000 million-plus albums sold worldwide, his sixth album SOUL was released this past November and produced by music icon David Foster), and Klum is not overseeing her ever-growing dynasty of modeling, clothes, jewelry, fragrance, pitch person, glittery Victoria Secret winged entrances

—not to mention a sixth season on Bravo channel’s-Emmy nominated hit show Project Run—they veg-out  with the kids in parks, on swings, going down slides, to the beach and having the time of their lives.

 

Jim Carrey & Jenny McCarthy

These days our favorite funnyman seems to have more on his mind than making us laugh.  Since Carrey’s high- profile romance with Jenny McCarthy took off, he has been in over-drive supporting her and her year-old son Evan, helping McCarthy champion for causes close to her heart, namely bringing awareness to autism intervention of which she is a mighty advocate.  Through her efforts McCarthy  has shed light on the fact that autism is an environmental illness.  Executive officer of the UCLA Hospital System, Dr. David Feinberg, referred to McCarthy as “my hero” citing her efforts to raise awareness to the condition.   He also recognized the Canadian-born  superstar Carrey as being a tremendous supporter of the treatment center as well.  As a former Playboy Playmate, and chosen by People (USA) magazine as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world, not to mention being singled out as Sexiest Women in the World,  McCarthy has shown us that with dedication and perseverance nothing is beyond a miracle as in the case of her son, who is experiencing miracles at every turn in his recovery. Amazingly, working within the medical community fighting for changes in both diagnosis and treat- ment isn’t that far out of the ballpark; McCarthy was enrolled in nursing school before Hollywood came calling.  Using her quick wit and unforgiving sense of humor, she has become an accomplished author lending a laugh to times in her life that were less than glamorous— namely pregnancy. On a more serious note her best-selling book “Louder Than Words: A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism,” cut to the chase on a mother’s heartbreak.  With McCarthy’s work, the federal court system recently conceded that vaccines could contribute to autism, something many parents of autistic children have considered for years, due to the fact that  by two years of age…most children have received somewhere in the area of 36 immunization shots.  Looking like a man on top of the world, with the woman he loves by his side, photos crop up everywhere of the smooching, hugging and handholding couple.   With zero need to prove his status in the movie industry and already richer than rich, the Golden Globe winner Carrey seems at home and in bliss with McCarthy, her son and his beautiful teenage daughter  Jane, from a previous marriage.  Although the Carrey/McCarthy romance has been in overdrive since 2005, and they live together, marriage plans are on hold.  And as McCarthy told Ellen DeGeneres on her show last year—we don’t need a “piece of paper.”  We agree.  It looks to us like the deal is already sealed.

Ashton Kutcher & Demi Moore 

What we like is that Demi Moore showed women that it’s never too late to go for the gusto of a younger man.  What we like even more…her choice of Ashton Kutcher.  A former Hollywood party boy, seemingly over-night Kutcher went into adoring husband mode and step-father figure to Moore’s three children by Bruce Willis.  To top that, and we can…Moore, Kutcher and Willis are all friends, and offer an amazing example to divorced couples everywhere that with love for our children and commitment to letting bygones be bygones with regards to divorce…it is possible to merge a past  and present husband friendships.  In an interview Moore told Harper’s Bazaar that she never understood the fascination people had with their 15-year age difference.   “People made such a fuss about my relationship with Ashton. You would have thought they had never seen it before. Age wasn’t what I was thinking about, but to the rest of the world it was a very big deal.”  Not to be left out of the new and ex melting pot comings and goings, Kutcher told his side of the story noting that having Willis around was something he had to work on.  ”I just had to get over my ego, which was screaming, ‘This guy used to sleep with your woman.’  And I listened instead to the little voice inside that was whispering, ‘This guy loves and cares about your woman.’  Once I did that, it was a cakewalk.”  It’s not fair…Moore seems to look younger every year and when she unveiled a ‘10 bod’ in the Charlie’s Angels sequel is was apparent that she works her butt off—literally to stay in amazing shape.  In an industry that shakes off women over 40 like a dog shakes off fleas, Moore continues on and credits her youthful look to maintaining a youthful outlook on life.  “If you think you’re old, feel that you’re done growing, then you’re going to have a stale life force around you.  I’ve always enjoyed being childlike and placed an importance on being silly and playing and remembering not to take myself too seriously…One of the most important things about anti-aging is really in your thinking…”  For a while it seemed like their interest in Kabala was at the root of their marital bliss, but according to reports the couple are not regular attendees as of late and red string bracelets are nowhere in sight. Although we’ve watched Demi progress in her craft over decades, we’ve had less chance to see Kutcher do his acting growing thing.  He stated, “I’ll probably never be the best actor in Hollywood, but I hope to be the hardest working,’ and that’s something considering that 12 years ago, he was a biochemical engineering student at the University of Iowa.  Although they married in 2005, they act like two dovey little birds.  Our most excellent pick for a Hollywood Honey couple that we  are certain will last.
