This is the type of post we possibly should have squirrelled away until New Years but there's been such a deluge of random celebrity unions that we may as well give a nod to the first half of 2014 lest we be snowed under with surprise couplings come December 31st.
Now, these celebs could not give a HOOT what we think of their relationship choices. But in the interest of giving us hope that Channing Tatum is going to call us while Joe Manganiello is on the other line, and while Benedict Cumberbandpants is making us some Earl Grey in the kitchen, we have decided to present some of the more unusual love matches of 2014. It'll give us all hope.
So here are the top five so far, in no particular order (OK the weirdest one is at number 1).
- 5. Charlize Theron and Sean Penn
It's not beyond the realms of reality when given their profession etc…but I'm not sure that he is who I would have chosen for Charlize (not that she was going to ask me). Mind you, I also had a problem with him being married to Princess Buttercup, because - well - she's Princess Buttercup. She's nice. This is very superficial, but to me they looked wrong as a couple, as does himself and Charlize. In fact, the ONLY person the brain doesn't have a problem fitting him with is Madonna.
- 4. Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden
Keeping with couples who don't quite look right together, may we present Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden from Good Charlotte. Here they are disembarking a luxury yacht on July 26th. He does indeed look like one of her security detail. They have been dating for five months, and have now reportedly introduced each other to the parents.

She has lovely jeans in this pic though.
- 3. Chris Martin and Jennifer Lawrence
Apparently they've been dating since June. JUNE. I suppose we just find this one weird because we thought she was going to break up/get back together with Nicholas Hoult forever, and surely Gwynnie would never allow Chris date someone who's also won an Oscar - but we were wrong. As it turns out, she is said to approve. 'Twould be un-zen not to, I suppose.
- 2. George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin
It's not so much who she is (between their work as activists they were bound to bump into each other at some point), more that she's managed to achieve what so very, very many women have failed to do in the past. George 'I'll date you for two years/until you start hounding me for a commitment' Clooney and Amal are said to get married imminently in his Lake Como retreat. 
- 1. Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez
Yep, this is the strangest by a long shot. Michelle Rodriguez and Cara (I'll learn how to spell your surname someday) Delevingne we understand. Michelle Rodriguez and Zac Efron not so much. In fact, we even get Justin Bieber and Michelle Rodriguez more than the latter scenario - even if they were only hanging out on a yacht together. But Zac and Michelle? Ain't nobody got time for dat.

What do you think of our crazy, stupid, love picks? Who gets your vote for the most unusual celebrity couple of all time? And who aren't together but really should be?!
