Tom Cruise and Cher? Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson? Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent?

These are the most random couples, the WTF couples, the pairings that make you say "He's dating her?" and the couples that I bet you didn't know dated. Basically, these are some of the most surprising celebrity pairings.

Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson: Because of Whoopi Goldberg's penchant for wearing crocs and t-shirts that are about 100 sizes too large for her, I sometimes can't remember what team she plays for, but she likes men and one of her most bizarre boyfriends was when she dated Ted Danson in the early 1990's. Whoopi was actually the "other woman" because Danson was married when they met on the set of "Made in America." People were saying "whoops" when Whoopi caused Danson to divorce his wife.

Ryan Gosling and Sandra Bullock: Before Sandra Bullock was making headlines for maybe dating Ryan Reynolds several months ago, people don't remember that she dated Ryan Gosling back in 2001. Gosling was 22 and Bullock was 38 when they started dating after they met on the set of "Murder By Numbers." Sandra's friend Hugh Grant thought their pairing was so random that he referred to 16-years-younger Ryan Gosling as "The Child" and would make a sound of a baby crying whenever he came around. Obviously Cougar-Cub relationships have come and gone, but Ryan HOT Gosling and Sandra Bullock, is this not weird to anyone else?!
We all make mistakes. Luckily, for most of us, they aren’t usually headline news. If only celebs could say the same. But fame and fortune has a price, and that price is, we get to talk about what’s going on in their personal lives.

But there’s nothing like the feeling of having your mistake completely erased from legal history. And one thing that has the power to do that is the infamous annulment. That’s why so many celebrities opt to annul their marriages instead of file for divorce.

The law might not remember them, but we still do. So without further adieu, here are seven infamous celebrity annulments.

Renee Zellweger & Kenny Chesney: They had a beautiful beachside wedding, but the marriage ended four months later. The couple released a statement saying the breakup was due to “the miscommunication of the objective of their marriage.”

Some celebs choose to keep their private lives private. Others choose to talk about their private life and their private parts. Remember when John Mayer discussed his sexual exploits? The only problem is, his women were usually famous and hot. Way to get blacklisted from celebrity sex, Mayer.

Less candid celebs sometimes just feel like sharing. Usually, it's in the presence of Howard Stern, the king of extracting celebrity sex secrets. And we love hearing all of them. If anything, it makes the rest of us feel a little more normal for having sex in the bathroom during a Blue Man Group show. Uh, I mean…here are the shocking celebrity sex secrets of some high-profile stars.

Zac Efron: His mom buys him condoms. Lots of condoms. Eeeeeeeewwwww. Zac says his mom saw pictures of him and Vanessa Hudgens in a sex store, and then she stuffed his Christmas stocking with condoms. "She buys me the economy box," Efron confessed.

Why restaurants agree to give Dennis Rodman dinner reservations is beyond us. In the last week Rodman has skipped out on two bills, both of which were over a $1000!

Last week him and his entourage walked out on a $1,000 bill at the Gansevoort South in Miami, and just one day later, he pulled the same trick at restaurant Philippe at the same hotel, Page Six has learned.

"He was so wasted he couldn't carry a sentence," said one witness. After consuming $1,500 in dinner and drinks, "Dennis sneaks, or I should say stumbled, out of the restaurant. Then, his friends start leaving . . . until the manager picked up on it and presented the bill to the last three guests at the table."

Of course the last three members of his entourage refused to pay the bill, so police had to be called. After they arrived, the bill was finally paid, but Rodman was nowhere to be found.

What happened to him going to an outpatient rehab facility? Is his idea of "outpatient" going out and getting wasted and skipping out on bills? Someone really needs to put this guy in his place.

An arrest seems overdue. What do you guys think? Is he out of line, or do you just expect this kind of behavior from him?
Former basketball star Dennis Rodman has finally agreed to go to rehab to battle his demons.

Rodman has refused to seek help for his long-running battle against alcohol addiction, but friends and family have finally convinced him that it's necessary.

His former basketball coach Phil Jackson even had to intervene, by joining his family and asking that he gets the help he desperately needs.

They originally wanted him to join an around-the-clock rehab facility, but he refused. They compromised on an out patient program instead.

His rep tells EOnline, "We all know how amazing he is when sober and we hope he gets there soon... He will be in New York City for the (Celebrity Apprentice) finale next Sunday."

Sounds like he's pretty hesitant to get help. If he doesn't recognize that he has a problem, forcing him to go to rehab isn't going to be the best solution. Either way, we're hoping the treatment center can get through to him and he can emerge from it sober and healthy.

Does Dennis Rodman have a little kleptomaniac streak in him? The NY Daily News is claiming that the tattooed baller may have recently ducked out on a fairly large check.

"After imbibing a steady stream of champagne at Bounce Uptown, the former hoopster grabbed a half-finished bottle of Veuve Clicquot - along with the champagne glasses that were on his table - and left without paying," a source told the paper.

While Dennis' rep didn't exactly deny the allegations, there was also no clear admission of guilt. "Dennis does not recall leaving the club with a bottle and glasses," his rep said. Unfortunately for the club owner, Dennis was probably too drunk to remember anything from that night.
Dennis Rodman is headed off to rehab! He had one too many cocktails last night, and decided to grab his girlfriend by the arm, leaving a bruise.

Hotel security thankfully called the cops, who arrested him. What a moron.

He was released on $50,000 bail this morning, and plans on entering a rehab facility immediately.

According to TMZ, his manager's excuse for the altercation is that Rodman has been drinking excessively because he hasn't been able to see his kids. Riiiiiight.
