Odd Couples


Celebrity Odd Couples

    Gary Coleman
    As if hearing that '70s child star Gary Coleman getting married wasn't surprising enough, wait until we spill the details...

    Gary Coleman & Shannon Price
    Status: Were married for less than a year
    Fact: Appeared on 'Divorce Court' to duke it out in front of Judge Lynn Toler.
    Odd Credentials: Aside from Coleman being very short and very old and Price very young and taller, this couple proves far from normal. Nine months after their marriage, Coleman admitted he was still a virgin. Price apparently refused to give up the goods even after they wed. This couple sure has some issues to work out.

    R.Kelly aka 'The Pied Piper'
    Kelly definitely wanted to keep his relationship with this youngster on the down low...

    R.Kelly & Aaliyah
    Fact: Aaliyah was R. Kelly's protégé and the two knew each other since she was 12.
    Status: Reportedly married but later annulled.
    Oddball Credentials: Aside from being very illegal, it was extremely odd that Kelly, 27 at the time, would get involved with a minor--oh but wait -- "age ain't nothing but a number." Regardless, this one ain't gonna fly.

    Flava Flav
    We'll be honest here -- any person linked to Flav is odd but this relationship surely tops the list...

    Flavor Flav & Brigitte Nielsen
    Status: Dated briefly after they both appeared on TV show 'The Surreal Life'
    Fact: Her nickname for Flav was Foofie Foofie
    Odd Credentials: As if her nickname for him wasn't odd enough, this unlikely pairing just makes you go huh? Unfortunately (fortunately?) Brigitte's time was up and this little love affair came to a quick end.

    Usher & Tameka Foster
    Status: Married August 4, 2008
    Facts: Tameka was Usher's stylist for years and is nine years older than he is
    Oddball Credentials: R&B superstar who sold 30 million records meets stylist with one marriage and three kids under her belt. The two are definitely an unlikely pairing, but it seems to be working for them.

    Whitney Houston
    Whitney was at the peak of her career when she made this strange new addition to her life...

    Bobby & Whitney
    Status: Married for 15 years
    Fact: The couple has a daughter together -- Bobbi Kristina Houston Brown. Now that's a mouthful.
    Odd Credentials: Bobby had numerous run ins with the law as well as three kids and Whitney was one of America's sweethearts. People were shocked when these two 'opposites' came together. However later down the road we realized the two had more in common than we thought.
