Golden Globes 2012: 14 Unusual Golden Globe Dates

It's watched almost as much as the ceremony itself: the walk up the red carpet at any award show is sure fodder for fashion forecasting, outrageous quotes and new Hollywood couples making their first public outing. The Golden Globes are certainly no exception.

While the first photo snapped of a new couple is exciting, what about the less-than-conventional dates that celebrities invite along? From Mom and Dad to remember-when-they-dated, we look back at some of the more unusual partners that Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Russell Crowe and other stars have escorted down the red carpet to the Foreign Press Association's night of top honors.

This is just another venue for the spoiled, hollywood elite to pat themselves on the back and tell each other how wonderful they are. It doesn't interest me and I don't watch. "I'm wearing la ti da gown with la ti da shoes and I just want to thank all of my fans for following me on twitter and encouraging me to show off my baby bump. I'd be nothing without you"

All awards shows are meaningless pap, the fraudulent Golden Globes more than most. Whom anyone attends them with is beyond derision in its lack of consequence.

I heard that Mathew McConaughey doesn't like wearing deodorant.

You can add Asston Moore and Brad Spitt to that list of stink-wads.

One of my best friends is MM's mother's cousin. My friend has 8 children and 20 grandchildren.
MM is so self-important with his own celebrity that he never has contact, actually refuses it, with
any of them. So much for family ties!

I don't know my mother's cousin. Does your friend and her 8 children and 20 grandchildren look to be in contact with all her mother's cousins or just MM? Hmmmmmmmmm. I wonder. I'm no fan bbut I bet people come out of the woodwork to cash in on someone else's fame.

Fanned for making a good point.  I am no fan, or not a fan, but that post was just silly.   I sure wouldn't want rumors started about me because of my mother's cousin.  Good grief.

Who hasn't JLO had carnal knowledge of?

[itzy8940]

I believe JLo and MM were a couple like Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler was a couple. The studios can try and fool the audience with these fake romances to promote their crappy films if they want to, but nobody, in this day and age is buying it.

Come on, Hollywood. What do you think this is, 1955?

JLO WAY TOO HOT AND PRETTY FOR MATTHEW WHATEVER ,

I thought that JLo and Matthew went to as a couple to promote The Wedding Planner. It wasn't like they were truly dating.

Matthew McCaunaghey/J-LO, unlikely to superficial whites, or the current image conscious Huff Post...but to me, love doesn't know color or race...for some, the camera is the new god to Hollywood.

............"NEW god " ?


Where have YOU been hiding ?

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MERYL STREEP WIN AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE GIULIANA RANCIC GET SOMETHING JUST BECAUSE I THINK SHE AND HER HUSBAND BILL ARE SUCH AWESOME PEOPLE AND THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH THIS YEAR. I KNOW, MANY OTHERS HAVE TOO AND I WISH THIS WORLD WOULD SETTLE DOWN AND EVERYONE WOULD QUIT HARPING ON THE WORLD COMING TO AN END. I DON'T THINK IT'S FUNNY. A LOT OF PEOPLE TAKE THIS STUFF SERIOUSLY AND WILL END UP TAKING THEIR LIFE. SO KNOCK IT OFF. OKAY? MAYBE BETTY WHITE WILL GET SOMETHING, BLESS HER HEART. I LOVE HER TOO. SHE'S A TROOPER. LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT, SO PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE, LOVE WHAT YOU HAVE AND LIVE EACH DAY AS IT COMES. GOD SPEED!

For this post caps are appropriate. I couldn't agree with mtk more. You only get out of life or anything for that matter , what you put into it. .

How are these "unusual" dates. Most of these celebs brought family members. Parents, siblings, kids, etc.
What's "unusual" about that? I would rather have my kids at my side than another celebrity 7 days out of the week
