As the old saying goes, “opposites attract.” We’ve all seen this in our daily lives, perhaps even in our own relationships. Sometimes it might be the case that having dissimilar personalities, looks, or attitudes really do endear a couple to each other. Even with celebrities, sometimes odd couples end up falling madly in love and living happily ever after (or at least, for the next few months or so before they have a public row and end up hating each other’s guts for the rest of their lives). Here are ten of the oddest celebrity couples who currently seem to be head over heels about each other.

Although there have been many questions surrounding his sexuality, rumor has it that “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest is dating ex-“Dancing With the Stars” babe and country singer Julianne Hough. Simon Cowell let it slip in a post-Idol interview that Seacrest had recently had a date with Hough. Added to that little fact, Seacrest often gushes about Hough on his radio show. If the two are dating, they’re keeping it tightly under wraps, as Hough herself denied the coupling in an interview with OK! Magazine. Only time – and the paparazzo’s cameras — will tell….

Sanjaya who? Remember him? The highly untalented “American Idol” finalist from Season 6? Apparently when he and Heidi Montag’s sister, another relative unknown named Holly Montag, appeared on the reality television show, “I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!” the rumors started flying that the two were an item. Montag admitted to being Malakar’s best friend, and said that she found him “attractive,” but nothing more. However, the media reported that following the program, Montag was flying to Kauai to meet Malakar’s parents. Sounds serious! The two continued to deny the rumors, despite the fact that Montag’s sister and husband, Spencer Pratt, were constantly pushing them together in the media. Perhaps they were just looking for a way to keep their own names relevant? Those 15 minutes of fame should be just about over by now….. Source 1 Source 2

This one has been confirmed, by the lead singer of the Smashing Pumpkins himself: Billy Corgan and Jessica Simpson are in love. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Corgan comments, “I think if people knew her like I knew her, they would love her like I do.” The two reportedly met at a party in 2009. At 42, Corgan seems a bit more jaded than Simpson, 29, and the boyfriends she’s used to (think Nick Lachey, John Mayer). However, sometimes opposites really do attract. Maybe that’s the case here.

Fifty-one year old Madonna dating a 22 year old boy toy – what’s so odd about that? Luz is a Brazilian model and seems to be the first steady boyfriend Mo has had since the breakup of her eight year-long marriage to Guy Ritchie. Madonna reportedly met Luz at a magazine shoot two years ago. Although she’s old enough to be his mother, (actually Luz has a grandmother who’s just a bit older than Madonna), she’s already introduced him to her children, usually a sign things are getting serious. After using controversial religious symbolism and vamping it up in videos for hit singles such as “Like a Prayer,” guess it was only a matter of time before Madonna started dating someone named Jesus.

He’s a 41 year old heavy metal rocker who likes to shock and scare people. She’s a 22 year old actress who’s already received critical acclaim. How did these two end up together, let alone engaged to be married? The couple met in 2006, dated for two years, then broke up for a while. Since getting back together, Manson has said he never wanted to lose Wood again (although he told Spin magazine in 2008 that he fantasized daily about bashing her head in with a sledgehammer) because she helps him to be the best he can be. Wood describes Manson as “lovely, really human and just amazing.” Here’s hoping the marriage between these strangely matched individuals really does work. Source 1 Source 2

Another odd coupling, Perry, 25, and Brand, 34, were engaged to be married recently. The couple met on New Year’s Eve 2009. Brand proposed to Perry a few months ago while the two were vacationing in India. The former heroin addict and womanizer calls her “demanding” but promises to be faithful to Perry, who costars with him in the movie “Get Him to the Greek.” For her part, Perry says she feels like she and Brand are the new Brad and Angelina (or Brangelina, if you’re trying to be cute). Is this just another lame attempt by two questionably talented people to try to claim a bit more of the spotlight? Or is it “true love?” We’ll have to wait for that burning question to be answered, in time. Source

Actor/producer/writer Cohen met Australian actress Fisher in 2002 and the two had a child together, but kept putting off their wedding date because of career commitments. Finally in 2010, they tied the knot. Fisher claims to be with Cohen because he makes her laugh. The two try to keep their relationship private, but Fisher has said, “He definitely makes me laugh more than anyone, which is hence why I’m marrying him.” This pairing just goes to show the funny guys get the hottest girls.

Warning: you must have a strong stomach to consider this love match. The “mature” Rourke, who’s been looking a bit ragged as of late, was rumored to be dating the always-a-mess Love by British tabloid The Mirror in 2010. If that idea doesn’t give you nightmares, nothing will. Rourke later publicly denied the rumor, telling TMZ, “I’d rather be on a deserted island with a gorilla” (than date Love). Curiously, the idea of Rourke with a gorilla doesn’t seem quite as scary a notion as the idea of him with Cobain’s former wife. Source

A gorgeous model plus a shock-rock disc jockey = a marriage made in heaven? For Ostrosky, 37, and Stern, 56, it looks as if this could be the case. The two married in 2008 after dating from the time of their first meeting in 2000. Their looks are a bit unequal, but not according to Ostroksy, who said, “I think there are a million, maybe even a trillion girls who are better looking! I don’t mean to put myself down, but the most attractive thing about me is definitely my boyfriend! It’s so true! I’m being so truthful!” The sentiment behind that kind of statement must be a by-product of true love. Source 1 Source 2

In one of the oddest decisions of the many strange and controversial ones she’s made during her lifetime, Carey, then 38, married Cannon, who was 27 at the time, in 2008. The two have been so sickly sweet and publicly lovey-dovey in the press that it makes normal people gag, gushing about how much they love each other. They even renewed their vows earlier this year, a mere 2 years from when they got married. Now, there’s talk of a baby in the works. God only knows how much more annoying these two will become now that a little Cannon is about to be fired from Carey in nine months or so. Source 1 Source 2
