Brittany Murphy smiles big for movie lovers everywhere.
Sadly, we lost Brittany Murphy to pneumonia at the young age of 32. The star of Clueless and 8 Mile stole the screen in every scene.
Though she never reached the heights of her early work, she spent the first decade of the 2000s hammering out a movie a year until her tragic death in 2009.
Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton together on a beach in Sydney, Australia in 2006.
Before Kim had her own leaked-sex-tape-turned-professional-career, she was Paris Hilton’s good friend and occasional paid assistant! Here they are in a less professional setting, and clearly getting a lot of attention even when abroad.
Here’s what Kim said about mixing business and pleasure with Paris: “I would work with Paris, and I would love to organize and clean out their closets and get rid of all their stuff and sell it on eBay and then shop for them, shop for her. That was my job. I loved it.”
Brad Pitt shares a moment with his wife Jennifer Anniston before breaking her heart soon after and leaving her for Angelina Jolie.
Two of the hottest stars of the 90s were wed, and America couldn’t look away. Then, it all started to fall apart and then America REALLY couldn’t look away. It was like a car crash. A car crash that we all kept hearing about but never actually seeing. Rumors that Brad Pitt was sneaking around with Angelina Jolie while on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005) seemed to be the stuff of tabloid misinformation. Later, however, we all saw the truth.
To quell the rumors that Brad was hooking up with Angelina behind Jen’s back, they released this statement:
“For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media. This decision is the result of much thoughtful consideration. We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another.” Brad later married Angelina Jolie.
Kobe Bryant and his future wife, Vanessa Laine, at the start of a rocky but enduring marriage:
Sadly, we lost Kobe in 2o20. The Lakers brought home the win this season from the Disneyworld bubble, and hopefully, somewhere in the universe, Kobe felt elated for his team once again. Before his tragic death in a helicopter crash, before he dropped 60 points during the final game of his career, and before his infidelity and subsequent court case that nearly destroyed his career, he met his fiancée at a music video shoot.
Vanessa Laine was only 18-years-old when Kobe proposed. After winning his first NBA championship, Kobe whisked Vanessa away (skipping her high school prom) to Italy to celebrate. This photo captures their young love before tragedy struck.
