100 Hottest Celebrity Couples




Maxim has the "Hot 100." People has its "Most Beautiful People." But aside from sitting around a conference table arguing about celebs in bikinis, how do you actually decide who's the hottest? At Zimbio, we've found a foolproof, scientific method for rating a couple's hotness, based on four categories: Success, Attractiveness, Popularity and Staying Power.

For the first three, we've ranked each partner in a couple on a scale from one to 10, then added the two scores to come up with a final number (one to 20) in each category. We ranked Staying Power separately on a scale from one to 20 for each couple. The total of the scores in the four categories determined each couple's rank on our list. Numbers don't like, folks.

Here's more on how we break it down:

Success.
In a word: Money. Exceptionally hot celebrities are almost always exceptionally rich (and vice versa), so we've tapped into Forbes and other sources to discover their salaries and net worth. We've also considered factors like Oscar and Grammy nominations / wins, platinum albums and other honors they've received.

Attractiveness.
Our next ranking category is the most obvious in this often-superficial industry: Victoria's Secret model? Check. Ridiculously lucky God-given genes? Double check. But if someone's been on the cover of multiple glamour magazines and/or is under contract with a high-end, high-profile brand, it pushes up their numbers on our list.

Popularity.
Since looking good and making bank don't necessarily keep a couple on the public's radar, we've chosen to judge a couple's popularity by the number of times they've been Googled in the last month. Again, the numbers don't lie.

Staying Power.

This category takes into account all the factors that keep couples together: children, marriage, cohabitation and longevity. If either member of the couple has a history of short, stormy relationships, they get dinged in our point structure.

Yes, there were some ties. And since you can't rely on science for everything, we've turned to the ancient art of astrology to break them: Couples with high compatibility jumped ahead, while those doomed by the stars fell back a slot. In fact, as an extra bonus we've included a summary of each couple's astrological compatibility at the bottom of each article. In case you're superstitious or consider astrology a science.

25 Most Interesting Musicians to Follow on Twitter

Celebrities who ghost tweet -- that is, they have other people write their tweets for them -- should be banned from the service. It's like telling someone to pretend to live your life for you, except without all the luxuries of a minibar.

Anyway, musicians have embraced Twitter with a vengeance. It's surprising it's taken this long, actually, seeing how the site is the perfect venue to keep fans in the loop. At the rate the site is growing, and judging by the success of Radiohead's online record release, Twitter could completely overhaul the music industry by becoming record label, management company and publicist all wrapped in one.

Here are 25 of the more prolific musicians who use the service.

iamdiddy
Name: Sean Combs
On Twitter: iamdiddy
Description: Diddy, Puff Daddy, Sean John, et al. Rapper, producer, entrepreneur, designer, all around amusing and positive-thinking megalomaniac. Has some of the best tweets on the site. Let's go!

johncmayer
Name: John Mayer
On Twitter: johncmayer
Description: Highly prolific micro-blogger (read: tweeter). He'll fill up your page with madness faster than you can say "refresh." No worries, they're personal and sometimes even poetic.

coldplay
Name: Coldplay
On Twitter: coldplay
Description: British rock band led by Chris Martin, who, of course is married to Gwyneth Paltrow. They have a son called Apple. No one knows why.

2009 Celebrity-Inspired Prom Looks



Celebrities pay stylists thousands of dollars to make them appear on the cutting-edge of fashion, while at the same time classic, cool and generally desirable. Here is your chance to outright rip them off. You won't necessarily call it that, per se, you'd call it "inspired by". But you get the point. This feature has three main elements: Celebrity, Gowns (red carpet / prom) and Hairstyles. So much time, energy and borrowed jewelry goes into getting these looks, it's worth checking out, at least for the voyeuristic aspect.

It's all yours here:

100 Most Influential People in Fashion


Zimbio's 100 Most Influential People in Fashion


There are a number of factors as to why we dress the way we do. Constraints of what we can afford, what's socially acceptable, and for many, the way we'd like to be perceived all play a role. And there are people: those who created the clothing, those who popularized it, those who artfully captured its relevance, and those who moved it into mass production.

Whether we can cite the individuals who have affected the way we dress, we have all, in some way, borrowed from a long history of groundbreakers, trendsetters, and visionaries.

Zimbio's list of the 100 Most Influential People in Fashion may seem incomplete to some readers, albeit in different ways. Others will never have heard of Herminie Cadolle or Claire McCardell, while industry insiders might take umbrage at our inclusion of basketball great, Michael Jordan. We've chosen among our list of fashion influentials not only the name-brand creators and trendsetters, but those who have made their marks in subtler, more nuanced ways. Risky, yes, but we think it makes for a more robust, well-rounded list. And a great read.

F1 Pit Crew Outfits are AWESOME

I definitely chose the wrong profession. Or maybe I didn’t. Maybe I can just start wearing space helmets to my Internet job. I think that might go over well, actually. They’re wearing helmets on the runway in London.

The only problem would be wearing it when I’m not actually writing. If you’re wearing a helmet and not actually doing something that could potentially involve head trauma, you look dumb. And: You’re quietly begging some asshole to whack you over the dome with a tire iron.

These F1 dudes wear the helmets and goggles through the entire race, which is silly. Watch, during the race when the camera cuts away to the garage, the entire crew is just sitting there looking ridiculous. At least put some blinking lights on them or something.

Anyway, my point is: Helmets are fucking cool if you're not just sitting there.

LOLCat Artists Raise Money for Adult Literacy

"I Has It" by Isis A. Vera is an acrylic mixed-media painting that was on display at the "I Can Has Art Show?" silent auction benefit at the Coffee Bar in San Francisco on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2008. (JJ Duncan/ Zimbio.com)

People love lolcats. I don't think I've ever shown icanhascheezburger.com to anyone who hated the site.

The pictures are cute, the captions are funny and everything is ever-so-charmingly misspelled. Which makes it all the more appropriate that a recent lolcat-inspired event raised money in the name of adult literacy. There's something poetic about illiterate cats helping illiterate adults. Now only if we could teach those darn cats that nao is spelled n-o-w.

With the devotion people feel toward the lolcat Internet meme, it was no surprise to find so much enthusiasm at the lolarts show in San Francisco last night (Oct. 23, 2008).


Visitors to The Coffee Bar in the Mission district roamed the art exhibit with the same bemused expressions of my co-workers trolling icanhascheezburger. And the artists traveled from all over to take part in the silent-auction benefit.

Emily Cox (pictured at left with her piece "I Can Has Chainburger") is a 17-year-old senior at Harrison High School in West Lafayette, Indiana who traveled all the way to San Francisco with her parents to place her papier-mache kitty on the auction block.

Roughly a third of the show sold (not terribly surprising given the $100-$250 price range required for most opening bids), but Cox said she wasn't disappointed that her piece didn't get snatched up.

Event organizer, curator and artist Marianne Goldin says in the "Curatorial Statement" she wrote for the show's program that she started working with the idea of lolcats as art as a way to rediscover the fun side of art.


"I'm a huge fan of the absurdity of the Internet Meme. I discovered LOLcats in 2006 during a brainstorming session for The Cult of Youth Reader (a publication I edited). We were muddling over how youth create new ways of speaking, when Julia Gfroerer, an arts editor, mentioned wacky Internet cats funnier than they ought to be. She described the gestalt of LOLcats and how they had created a new form of linguistic humor."

Goldin's piece "Invisible Invisible" (pictured at right) plays on the series of "invisible (insert object here)" photos in lolcat land.

The show received a fair amount of publicity with a precede written up by Wired, a video crew on hand from Current (it doesn't look like they have the story up yet), and, of course, publicity from icanhascheezburger.com. Tickets for the show were snapped up only a few hours after they were made available, and the one-of-a-kind show was off and rolling.


San Francisco artist Doc Pop (pictured at left) describes himself as not being someone who is heavily into technology. He experiments with memes that sometimes combine ideas from the Internet with applications in the real world. One piece he had on display was a flyer for a lost LOLCAT that responds to "cheezburger" (see below).

The number given on Doc's flyer leads curious callers to an absolutely awesome original nerdcore hip-hop song about lolcats. Doc said he hopes the flyers spread out from their San Francisco roots to other cities. I'm doing my part by sending copies to a couple of friends back in my home state of Kansas.

Check out the rest of my pictures from the event below. (Sorry I didn't get pictures of everything and I know I missed a couple of good ones.)
