Earlier today we reported that Jennifer Lawrence is trying to hook up Bradley Cooper with some of her friends – A pretty noble thing.
The Hangover actor recently broke up with his girlfriend Zoe Saldana, so a new woman would probably be good for him.
But this also made us think, how do celebrities find the people they love?
Did you know Jay-Z and Beyonce met because Hov wanted Bey to collab with Amillion? Do you know which A-list actors met on a shit movie that didn’t even make a million bucks at the box office?
Well you’ gon’ learn today.
Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were a hot couple before they broke up, but did you know it all started from a phone call to Selena’s mother? The Spring Breakers actress told David Letterman that Bieber’s manager called her mother to collab on a project and the rest is history.
You wouldn’t believe who introduced Kanye and Kim.
It was Jimmy Kimmel.
While Kim knew Ye for a while, she does admit that the talk show host was responsible for her and Yeezy getting to know each other.
“I should thank you right now, right?” Kim laughed, alluding to the fact that Kimmel actually introduced her to Kanye. “I did meet him years before, but we really got to get to know each other on a show that you guys produced together.”
While Katy Perry and John Mayer are together now, did you know they were actually flirty before she hooked up with her now ex hubby Russell Brand? The Frisky reports:
The night before the 2009 MTV VMAs, Katy Perry and John Mayer met for a drink at a bar in NYC, after weeks of exchanging flirty emails and texts. “John thought she was so hot and fun and was into her,” an insider told E! Online at the time — and Katy was equally into him. The next night, however, at the VMAs, another dude caught Katy’s eye — Russell Brand.
Did you know Halle Berry met Olivier Martinez on the set of a crappy movie?
While on Chelsea Handler, Halle says they met “On a s— movie,” referring to Dark Tide, a $25 million thriller that came out last year and grossed less than $500,000 at the box office. The flick co-starred Olivier Martinez, whom the actress has been dating since filming wrapped in 2010.
This next couple gets a bit confusing. Many people think Ben and Jennifer met in 2003 on the set of the movie Daredevil, but they both worked on the movie Pearl Harbor in 2001. They didn’t start dating until 2004.
Jay-Z and Beyonce met a concert they both performed at, but things picked up when Hova reached out to get Beyonce to do a song with Amillion.
Keyshia Cole credits God for hooking her up with Boobie Gibson.
She said during an interview, “I was kind of through with relationships. I didn’t feel like guys were mature enough. What made me gravitate toward Gib was his faith in God, more than anything. He seemed like a loving person. He talked a lot about his grandmother who had passed away, and the things she instilled in him. It’s important to be in the same place. I needed someone I could trust. He felt the same way.”
Shannon and Monica met on the set of a video and they’ve been on one long date ever since.
She reveals, “I go to work one day and we we’re shooting the “Love All Over Me,” which was right after I left here. I was here promoting “Everything To Me” and “Love All Over Me” was the next single. I go into the video shoot and he walks in, of course, he’s so easy on the eye but even after that it was the way he treated other people.”
La La and Carmelo Anthony are happily married and they have funny story on how they met. La La confesses, “He was stalking me for a while. That’s how we met. He kept asking everybody about me.” Melo jokingly laughed it off before La La admitted that they actually met through New York’s DJ Clue. ~ ESPN
