(This is not to say, of course, that Mr. Humphries is way out of his league with Ms. Kardashian. After all, he's a solid rotation player on the Nets, and anyone in the NBA is one of the best basketball players on the planet. She, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have any discernible talent at all. But the disparity in notoriety/fame between the two just reminded me that this chasm is something that exists. At least in my mind.)
Here are a few other examples:
5. Vincent Chase & Mandy Moore
Vince is a B+/A- actor who doesn't know how to do anything in his own life except hook up with random women. He relies on his friend and manager E to do everything for him, and is also kind of a prick. Mandy Moore is perfect. She is kind and beautiful and smart and talented and funny and should not have died of leukemia in that one movie.
This is only as low as it is on the list because Vincent Chase is a fictional character from Entourage.

4. Sasha Vujacic & Maria Sharapova
There was a headline about this on CNN.com a while back that read, "Sharapova Engaged to Lakers Star." When you clicked, the link sent you to People.com, where the headline read, "Maria Sharapova Engaged to Lakers Star Sasha Vujacic." I appreciated People's clarification. "Lakers Star" usually means a player who does more than come off the bench, miss a few shots, go back to the bench, and then whine about how he's always on the bench.
Also, there's this: he makes $4 million a year. She makes $25 million a year. He is also now playing for the New Jersey Nets, a team that is not the Los Angeles Lakers. This won't end well.

| Kobe Bryant = star. Pau Gasol = star. Sasha Vujacic = shooter who can't shoot, i.e. nothing. |

3. Kevin Federline & Britney Spears
It's easy to forget this now because Britney's star has faded considerably over the past few years, but in her heyday, she was white-hot. Scalding hot. As in, I'd watch Pepsi commercials over and over just because she was in them. I haven't found one person – man or woman – who disagrees with me on this point.

1. Marko Jaric & Adriana Lima
Yup, I jumped straight from #3 to #1 just to emphasize just how sizeable the difference is between this couple and the second-most lopsided one. You know how you can tell how outrageous this one is? Ask a girl who Adriana Lima is married to. You'll either get an answer along the lines of, "Some dude named [insert some horrible mispronunciation of Marko Jaric's name]", or a simple, "I don't know. She's married?!" Then ask a guy who Marko Jaric is. You'll probably just get, "Duuuude. ADRIANA LIMA!"
For the record, Marko Jaric is a bench player for the Memphis Grizzlies whose eyes look like they're too close together. Adriana Lima is one of the most famous supermodels on the planet whose eyes most certainly do NOT look like they're too close together.

| Um...sure. Okay. |
hahaahahha reading this has given me hope that i too can reach far beyond and grab a hottie like adriana lima
ReplyDeletebtw jaric was a star on the clippers and was traded for alien cassell
perhaps marko jaric has a heart of gold.

and perhaps adriana lima is an extremely good judge of character.
while we're at it, perhaps one day i will dunk
You should start a blog where people post people from everyday public of couples like this. It'd be an instant internet hit.
