20 Celebrity Couples Who Dated In The 2000s
Twenty years ago, mega celebrity couples roamed the earth: There was Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner (hot on the heels of his first breakup with Nick Lachey and Jessica 'Is It Chicken Or Is It Fish?' Simpson. But those are the ones everyone remembers. To really jog our memory, we thought we'd take a look back at celebrity couples we'd all almost forgotten were an item back in 2005. Let the nostalgia (and feeling old) begin: Jessica Biel and Chris Evans Before he put on spandex and made it big as Captain America, Chris Evans dated Jessica Biel from 2001 to 2006. Here, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre co-stars attend a Halloween party at the Mondrian Hotel in Los Angeles. So much for costumes! Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz Post-Britney and pre-Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake dated Cameron Diaz for about three years. The couple reportedly met at the 2003 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, where Timberlake was picking up the award for "Best Burp," an award presented by Diaz, who had won a few years before. How romantic! Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling Look away, Eva Mendes! Before Ryan Gosling married Mendes, he had girlfriend Rachel McAdams hopping into his arms at the 2005 MTV Movie Awards. The pair, who dated from 2005 until 2007, were accepting the reward for "Best Kiss" for their lip locking in The Notebook. Derek Jeter and Vanessa Lachey Before she was hosting Love Is Blind (with now-husband Nick Lachey), Vanessa Lachey (Née Minnillo) was giving love a chance with Yankees great Derek Jeter. The pair were in an on-and-off relationship from 2003 until 2006. Keira Knightley and Jamie Dornan From 2003 to 2005, Keira Knightley and future 50 Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan were arguably the hottest couple in the British Empire. Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush got married in 2005, though you might have forgotten because it only lasted five months. Here, the One Tree Hill co-stars stop by MTV's TRL — another relic from a bygone time. Kanye West and Alexis Pfeiffer Kanye West's first high-profile romance was with fashion designer Alexis Pfeiffer. Here, the pair, who dated from 2002 to 2008, pose at an event with Kim Kardashian, Ye's future wife. Not awkward at all! Kate Moss and Pete Doherty An all-time-great Messy Couple, Kate Moss and musician Pete Doherty started their two-year on-again, off-again relationship in 2005. Here they are at the Glastonbury Festival that same year. Hilary Duff and Joel Madden Hilary Duff and Joel Madden of the band Good Charlotte dated from 2004 to 2006. The pair allegedly started dating when he was 25 and she was 16, which, uh, no comment. Chris Pratt and Emily VanCamp Chris Pratt and Emily VanCamp, who played onscreen siblings on Everwood, dated from 2004 to 2007. Here, the pair attend a Xbox 360 Gears of War party — a very early-aughts event. Chris Klein and Katie Holmes Katie Holmes had quite a wild 2005: She began the year engaged to longtime boyfriend Chris Klein. By March, the pair had called off the engagement. A month later, she was spotted canoodling — a classic 2005 tabloid term — with A-lister Tom Cruise, whom she'd go on to marry and divorce. Scarlett Johansson and Josh Hartnett A baby-faced Scarlett Johansson and Josh Hartnett dated briefly in 2005 while making the neo-noir The Black Dahlia. Bow Wow and Ciara She's happily married to New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson today, but in 2005, singer Ciara was dating rapper Bow Wow. Mandy Moore and Zach Braff Mandy Moore and Zach Braff dated from 2004 to 2006 during a blonde moment for Moore. Josh Groban and January Jones Singer Josh Groban dated Mad Men actor January Jones from 2003 to 2006. Groban — like Adam Duritz of the Counting Crows before him and Pete Davidson today — is one of those secret I've-dated-everyone-Hollywood types: The crooner has also been linked to Katy Perry, Kat Dennings, and Selma Blair. Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn On the heels of her divorce from Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston dated Vince Vaughn, her co-star in The Breakup, for about a year. The pair — inelegantly called Vaughniston by the tabloids (yeah, that never got on the same way Brangelina did) — broke up IRL in 2006. Jude Law and Sienna Miller Jude Law and Sienna Miller were on-again, off-again from 2003 to 2011. The pair were very publicly off again in 2006, after Law allegedly had an affair with his children's nanny. (We forget now, but 2005 was smack-dab in the middle of the era when everyone was having an affair with the nanny.) Renée Zellweger and Kenny Chesney Renée Zellweger and country singer Kenny Chesney had a blink-and-you-miss-it marriage in 2005: The marriage lasted all of four months, with Zellweger filing for an annulment, mysteriously citing 'fraud' as the reason for the split. Orlando Bloom and Kate Bosworth Orlando Bloom — looking very swashbuckle-y in his Pirates of the Caribbean era — dated Kate Bosworth from 2002 to 2005. Finally, Nas and Kelis Nas and singer Kelis were married from 2005 to 2010. After their divorce, the Queens-born rapper posed with Kelis' wedding dress on the cover of his 2012 album 'Life Is Good." (Because nothing screams "over it" like posing on an album cover with your ex's wedding dress.) This article originally appeared on HuffPost.

Alejandro G. Iñárritu on 25th Anniversary of ‘Amores Perros' and Making a 'Brutal Comedy' With Tom Cruise
Alejandro G. Iñárritu has always known how to make an entrance. The four-time Oscar winner returned to the Croisette this week, not with a new film to premiere — at least not yet — but to honor Amores Perros, the snarling, kinetic masterpiece that launched his career a quarter century ago. The 25th anniversary screening of the Mexico City-set triptych took place Tuesday night in Cannes with Iñárritu in attendance, fresh off wrapping his latest project — a 'brutal comedy' starring Tom Cruise and Sandra Hüller — in London. The celebratory event was less a retrospective than a reawakening. A new theatrical re-release of Amores Perros is slated for later this year, along with an immersive museum installation, a making-of book, and, of course, plenty of stories from the director about how the film nearly didn't happen at all. More from The Hollywood Reporter Fame and Shame: The Deadly Toll of Celebrity in South Korea Carla Simón on Going Back to the Roots With Cannes Competition Title 'Romería' Channel 4 to Move Into Production Amid IP Focus: "Global Income to Drive U.K. Content Investment" 'Back then, in Mexico, we made maybe seven movies a year,' Iñárritu told The Hollywood Reporter at the Mondrian Hotel in Cannes, the same place he stayed back when he brought Amores Perros here 25 years ago [when it was still called The Grand]. 'There was no real national cinema. If you made one film, that was it. That was your shot. And I poured everything into that film. All the contradictions, the rage, the love, the chaos of Mexico City — it's all in there. That's why it's messy. That's why it's alive.' Shot on a shoestring $2 million budget from private financing by Altavista Films — a rarity in late-'90s Mexico where most movies were still state-subsidized — Amores Perros was edited by Iñárritu himself, in his home, over several grueling months. Starring Gael García Bernal, in his breakout role, the film weaves together three stories connected by a violent car crash, each segment orbiting around characters grappling with love, loss, and Mexico City's brutal underbelly. One scene in particular — a gritty underground dogfight — was as real as it gets. No animals were harmed, but the crew nearly got dropped. 'We were shooting in one of the poorest neighborhoods of Mexico City, just overrun with gangs, crack city,' Iñárritu recalled. 'One day, I was on the phone with Carlos Cuarón, the brother of Alfonso, and I felt a gun against my head. I looked back and saw my cinematographer on the ground with a gun to his head. These guys robbed us — took everything, all our equipment. I gave them my watch, my money, even a medallion that wasn't worth much but meant a lot to me personally.' He continued, 'but the location was perfect, so we went back and negotiated with them. We said: If you let us shoot, you can be in the film. And that scene? That's them. It's those same guys who robbed us. I asked them about the medallion, but they said they'd already sold everything.' Iñárritu submitted Amores Perros to Cannes but the film was initially rejected by the festival's Latin America programmer, who deemed it too long and too violent. 'We begged them to show it to the main committee. They said no,' Iñárritu recalls. 'At that time, you only had American cinema, European cinema, in the main competition. Latin American film was off to the side in the ghetto they called 'World Cinema'.' Eventually, the film landed at Cannes Critics' Week sidebar. The premiere screening didn't go well. 'People were walking out, I thought: 'That's it. It's over,' says Iñárritu. 'Only later did people tell me those were international distributors, going out to tell their people to buy the film.' Amores Perros went on to win Critics' Week. Lionsgate snatched up U.S. rights, helping the movie go global. It would eventually gross more than $5 million domestically and over $20 million worldwide. It scored an Oscar nomination for best international feature, launching the director's career and marking the unofficial beginning of the Mexican New Wave — a movement soon joined by friends Alfonso Cuarón (Y Tu Mamá También) and Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth) — bringing Mexican cinema into the global mainstream. 'Suddenly, we were not long outside, we were in conversation with the world,' says Iñárritu. Iñárritu has big plans to mark Amores Perros's Silver Jubilee. He is following the Cannes screening with an ambitious visual installation, which will exhibit in Milan at the Fondazione Prada (September 18-February 26) and in Mexico City at LagoAlgo (October 5-January 3, 2026), with an L.A. showcase also planned. The director compiled the video installation from outtakes and never-used footage from the '1 million feet of celluloid' he shot for the original film. 'When I edited my film, it was 2 hours and 45 minutes, and that was 16,500 feet. Nine hundred eighty-five thousand feet was left, stored at the National University of Mexico, like wine,' said Iñárritu. MACK Books is releasing a making-of volume on the film later this year, featuring stills, scripts, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and essays by collaborators. And the film is getting a proper theatrical re-release, rolling out later this year. 'So that young people can see it on the big screen, not just on one of these,' Iñárritu said, waving his phone. Iñárritu also used his Cannes visit as a soft launch for his next wild experiment, with Tom Cruise. The new film, tentatively titled Judy, just finished production in London. It marks the director's first collaboration with the Mission: Impossible superstar. 'All I can say is it is a brutal, wild comedy of catastrophic proportions. It's insane. It's scary and funny and beautiful. I know comedy is not what people expect from me, or Tom, and making this film was terrifying for me,' says Iñárritu. 'But I don't like to repeat myself, and every film should scare you a little. I felt Birdman was a comedy, a dark comedy, and this one was challenging like that. And Tom makes me laugh every single day. He has this total commitment, this total madness.' Oscar-nominated German actress Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall) is part of the ensemble cast of July, which also includes Jesse Plemons, Riz Ahmed, Emma D'Arcy, Sophie Wilde, Michael Stuhlbarg and John Goodman. 'I've loved Sandra since Toni Erdmann,' Iñárritu recalls. 'I met her here in Cannes that year [2017] and have been wanting to work with her ever since. Judy has wrapped production at London's Pinewood Studios. Iñárritu said he'll begin editing the movie 'next week.' Judy is set for theatrical release via Warner Bros. next fall.
