It’s not weird to hear about juicy, and even scandalous, celeb hookups.
But it's the ones you haven't heard about that are really salacious, and totally surprising.
Think you’re ready for this jelly?
Amy Poehler and John Stamos
In October 2014, Amy Poehler revealed to Howard Stern that she went on a date with John Stamos
shortly after separating from then-husband Will Arnett.
She said, "I remember I was at dinner with John Stamos…and I was like, 'Oh, maybe this
is a date!'
But I didn't know...I remember thinking like, 'Oh, s**t.
Like, if this is really a date…'
I think I was wearing a Leslie Knope top.
I think I was wearing a shirt from work.
I wasn't foxy."
The Fuller House hunk clarified to Extra, “I asked her out on a date…and we had
a really nice time.
Then I hear she thought it wasn't a date.
It was a date in my eyes."
Poehler’s been unknowingly dating ever since.
Kim Kardashian and Nick Lachey
Nick Lachey rebounded from ex-wife Jessica Simpson with Kim Kardashian in 2006.
He told Details that he thinks the reality starlet used him to raise her profile, because
she wasn't famous yet at the time.
He told the mag, "Let's just say this: We went to a movie.
No one followed us there.
Somehow, mysteriously, when we left, there were 30 photographers waiting outside.
There are certain ways to play this game, and some people play it well."
In her 2010 book Kardashian Konfidential, Kardashian admitted that dating the 98 Degrees
hunk got her attention, writing, "The next night I was out with Paris Hilton.
We were in her car and the paparazzi started taking pictures.
Usually they would shout, 'Paris!
Paris!
Paris!'
[But] they started yelling 'Kim!
Kim!
Kim!'...She said, 'Whatever you do, just smile.'"
...And leak a tape.
Cher and Tom Cruise
In June 2013, Cher revealed on Watch What Happens Live that she and Tom Cruise had a
fling in 1987 — and she loved it!
When asked where he ranked among her lovers, she replied:
"He was in the Top Five.”
"Really?
Top Five?
And that's a list."
"It's not a long list, just a good list."
She described Cruise as a "great, lovable guy" and said they were "hot and heavy" during
their brief romance.
In 2008, she told Oprah, "It could have been a great big romance, because I was crazy for
him."
Cher's son, Elijah Blue Allman, also revealed another of her Top Five lovers: Val Kilmer,
who she dated in the 1980s.
Cher, we’re starting to believe in life after love.
Jay Leno and Sharon Osbourne
Sharon Osbourne revealed on The Talk that she hooked up with Jay Leno in the ‘70s:
“That man that I had a flingy-wingy with, was Jay Leno.”
She explained, "When I was 25, I just moved to America.
I had met my husband [Ozzy], but we weren't together."
She said a pal took her to a comedy club where Leno performed, and they later prank-called
him.
She said, "He liked my voice…One thing led to another.
He came to my house and met me and then we had a little fling.
The fling was more fling for me and not fling enough for him."
In another dimension, reality TV family: The Leno’s exists...
Tara Reid and Tom Brady
In 2014, Tara Reid confessed that she dated Tom Brady for about a month in 2002.
She told the Kyle And Jackie O Show, "I have kissed [Brady]...Yeah, he's pretty good looking."
(And Pats fans everywhere just threw up a little bit in their mouths.)
Jake Gyllenhaal and Minka Kelly
A source told Us Weekly that Jake Gyllenhaal pursued his crush, Minka Kelly, for months,
until she finally caved in June 2012.
But the hookup was short-lived.
The source claims, "Minka wasn't into Jake when he first pursued her…[She later] decided
to give Jake another chance…It was never serious, and it's over now."
Maybe if she’d stuck it out, you wouldn’t be thinking “Minka who?”
Janet Jackson and Matthew McConaughey
Because Janet Jackson is incredibly private, few details are known about her brief relationship
with Matthew McConaughey, but the pair reportedly hit it off at the 2002 Grammys, and had a
couple casual hookups before calling it quits.
Alright, alright, alright!
Scarlett Johansson and Jack Antonoff
Long before Scarlett Johansson was an A-lister, and way before Jack Antonoff had a hit song
and Lena Dunham on his arm, they were highschool sweethearts.
Antonoff even name-drops the Avengers star in his Steel Train song "Better Love," singing,
"Hey Scarlett / You're not the same."
Hey Jack, so much fun in chemistry class.
Love, ScarJo.
Natalie Portman and Moby
Musician Moby dated actress Natalie Portman in 2001, and he admits it wasn't easy.
He told Spin, "I guess in some people's eyes, [nerds] might be mildly sexy — and, as a
nerd, I'm certainly happy to enjoy some of the effects of that.
But as far as the very brief affair that I had with Natalie, it's made me a target of
a lot of nerd wrath.
You don't date Luke Skywalker's mom and not have them hate your guts."
Luke, I am your step-father…?
Ryan Reynolds and Kristen Johnson
Ryan Reynolds romanced Third Rock From The Sun star Kristen Johnson back in 1999.
She'd later tell Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live:
"I dated him for a couple months.
He's great!
It was when he was on Two Guys, A Girl, And A Pizza Place, if anyone remembers that, and
I was doing Third Rock."
Yep!
Kristen fell for this guy.
It’s too bad things didn’t work out.
“It wasn’t over.
It still isn’t!”
