If you told me that Kate Moss is 38 years old I wouldn’t believe you. Not a day over 29, I say!

Sorry, size 0, 16-year-old models, Kate Moss is still our generation’s supermodel!

While models keep getting younger and younger, Moss seems to get better with age and is booking everyone else’s modeling gigs!

Moss covers the June issue of Harper’s Bazaar and appears on the inside pages in a lengthy spread where she dons about 20 of the best looks from every luxury label’s Spring/Summer 2012 collections.
Tell us how you really feel, Piers Morgan.

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?!

I think all this doomsday talk might have some validity, because Pete Doherty has been jailed for the third time, and I’m pretty sure that’s an apocalyptic sign.

Kate and Jamie have been dating since 2007 and she's always been super secretive about their relationship. A source said of the wedding: "It was quiet - but still very romantic."

"Kate’s had a fairly turbulent love life but she’s a romantic at heart. The plans were kept very quiet as Kate wanted the day to be low-key and purely a celebration of their love. She’s never been one for convention or tradition, but Jamie’s been there for her through thick and thin, and she simply felt the time was right."

She reportedly wore a see-through white dress and was barefoot for the ceremony. Her eight-year-old daughter Lila was one of three ring bearers at the ceremony.

The source added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: “They planned the day for weeks and were so excited. Kate didn’t want a stuffy, formal do, but something spiritual. Minutes after tying the knot, the giggling newlyweds were outside the church, dancing under trees.”

This just goes to show you that if celebrities want to keep their lives private, it's very doable! Congrats to Kate and her new hubby!
