I find Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johannson an odd couple. Maybe it’s the whole Alanis Morissette connection that is throwing me off, but they are not the only odd celebrity couple out there. The Michael Jackson/Lisa Marie Presley and the Julia Roberts/Lyle Lovett relationships are classic, but there are a few current odd celebrity couples giving them a run for their money. As a disclaimer, before you start commenting, “Leave them alone. Let them be happy. Who are you to judge. Blah Blah.” I’m not sticking small celebrity look-a-like voodoo dolls with pins hoping they break up, I just find the couples dating below a little strange.
Everyone is talking about the recent engagement of Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds, and she’s finally showing off the ring. That thing is a small ice rink. Am I the only one that finds this union strange? There’s also an eight year age difference. I wish them all the happiness Hollywood has to offer, the two together just screams odd. But maybe they’ll spawn an awesome man-hating Alanis song.

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are next. It seems like the general public is in agreement with me according to this poll. Although it’s a tight race, 55% of people do not think they make a good couple. And just as a side note, when did John go Miami Ink on us?

The next couple was destined to make the list. She had dreams about him when she was a teenager. She converts religions. She causes a crazy couch jumping scene on Oprah. Of course, it’s Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. This relationship started out BIZARRE and is becoming more and more normal every day, but they still get the “odd nod” for now. Strange or not, they have the cutest little girl ever.

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden. What? Madden breaks up with his fiance, Sophie Monk, and less than two weeks later he’s with Paris Hilton. Then there’s the Nicole/Joel connection. I give it until Stavros comes knocking again.

If you watched “Rock of Love 2″ you know what’s coming. Bret Michaels chose Ambre Lake over Daisy and immediately made the list. Even Ambre’s dad didn’t like his choice, saying something like Bret’s not the kind of guy you want your daughter to end up with…
“My dad had the best intentions with that line. He meant that he doesn’t think anyone’s good enough for his daughter, but he thinks Bret’s a great guy. If that’s who I’m in love with, he supports it.”
Ah, love made in reality television.

Who are some others? I know there’s more out there (Courteney Cox and David Arquette) but these came to mind first.
