Lady Gaga And Bradley Cooper’s Oscar Performance
Pop singer Lady Gaga and actor Bradley Cooper starred in A Star Is Born in 2018, a movie that made us fall in love with the couple’s chemistry on screen. Later in February 2019, the couple performed the hit song Shallow at the Oscars.
Rumors were going around about the possibility of a romance between the couple, as Gaga later canceled her engagement and Cooper broke up with his girlfriend. Still, they denied any love affair.
The Duchess Of Windsor
The Duchess of Windsor was caught at the opening party of the National Ballet of Canada in New York City in 1974. She was wearing a luxurious fur coat.
Ron Galella photographed the royal wearing what seems to be a couture fur coat with a not-so-friendly expression on her face. We guess she just wanted to enjoy the party rather than be followed by sneaky photographers.
Beyoncé’s Pregnancy Announcement
When you are a celebrity, the world waits for news about you. So you can either be as silent as the grave or make a huge announcement. Beyoncé decided to make it big when she announced her second pregnancy.
In February 2017, she posted a photo of herself covered in flowers with a big growing belly on Instagram. “We have been blessed two times over,” the caption read. Jay-Z and the singer were expecting twins.
Diana’s Last Photo
Princess Diana was adored in every corner of the world. Like any other celebrity, she was constantly chased by paparazzi, even after getting divorced.
This photo was taken in Paris when she and her lover were chased by paparazzi in cars and motorcycles. Minutes after this shot, Diana’s car crashed. Unfortunately, she didn’t survive.
Pam And Tommy
Some couples are so loved by the public that paparazzi won’t let them be, and Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee were one of them. The model and actress was married to the singer from 1995 to 1998.
The couple arrived at the MTV Music Awards red carpet wearing iconic outfits. Pamela wore a big pink furry hat with a white corset and tight shiny pants, while Tommy was into a hippie style. Perfect match!
The Oscar Selfie
The concept of taking a selfie dates back to 2010. Teens posted their selfies to their social media profiles, and the rest is history. Four years later, some of the best Hollywood actors gathered for a selfie at the Oscars.
Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Angelina Jolie, Lupita Nyong'o and Ellen DeGeneres took a selfie together and posted it on Twitter. It quickly became the most retweeted tweet of all time, as it was retweeted 3 million times.
Liza Minnelli

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Wedding
Meghan Markle’s life completely changed when she tied the knot with Prince Harry. Marrying a royal meant leaving her career behind to become Duchess of Sussex. Their romance made headlines from the very beginning.

John Travolta
Actor John Travolta was just starting his career in 1976. Despite being fresh meat in Hollywood, he already had desperate fans waiting to get his autograph. The young actor was photographed surrounded by fans.
The actor attended the Bus Stop Opening Night Play Performance. Playbills signed by Travolta that day are sold on eBay for $40. It was truly historic.
Lady Gaga’s Meat Dress
The title is totally correct. It was a meat dress worn by the iconic Lady Gaga. The singer has a reputation for wearing extravagant and out-of-the-ordinary costumes, except that this time she might have gone too far.
Gaga was covered in raw beef when she attended the MTV Video Music Awards in 2010. She even dared to ask Cher to hold the meat purse for her. The singer has always sparked conversations about her eccentric ways.
John Lennon And Mick Jagger
To have two rock legends in one photo is exceptional, but Ron Galella made it happen. He photographed John Lennon and Mick Jagger at the American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Awards in Los Angeles.
The singers were suited up for the occasion. Holding a cigarette in one hand, Jagger was exceptionally elegant, and Lennon wore a striking black bowtie that was a nice change from his usual hippie-style clothing.
Taylor Swift And Jake Gyllenhaal
This photo of the pop-country singer and actor was not so controversial back in 2010, but now it is more than that. After the couple split, Taylor Swift wrote a breakup album about the relationship – at least, that’s what fans think. The biggest song on it was All Too Well.
This photo made history the moment All Too Well was out on the radio. The red scarf has made some history too, but we aren’t going to get into it today.
Bill And Hillary Clinton
It was a beautiful day in the US Virgin Islands on January 4, 1998, when Bill and Hillary were caught by paparazzi dancing on the beach. The couple looked madly in love, despite recent rumors of an affair.

An estimated 1,900 people attended the ceremony. William’s best man was his little brother, Harry. As for the Duchess, she had Pippa Middleton, her little sister, as her maid of honor.
Robin Williams
Actor and comedian Robin Williams looks fresh and vintage in this 1969 photo. He was only 19 years old in this picture. This leads us to believe that he either had the fountain of youth or was just graced with the gift of not aging.
Winner of countless awards and a successful career in Hollywood, Robin committed suicide in 2014. He will always be missed by his fans, friends, and family.
Harry Potter Premiere
The famous Harry Potter movies came to an end in 2011 when the last film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, came out.
Costars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint joined the London premiere and posed for a photo with the woman who created the story, J. K. Rowling.
Yacht Love
Most actors and actresses end up dating after working together in a movie. At first, the public believes it’s just film publicity. But then, paparazzi sneak in and prove to the world that their love is real.
This is a yacht love between co-stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, who were caught getting really close and personal on a yacht after the movie Cleopatra was released.
Jennifer Lawrence
It’s hard to hold your laughter when someone falls right in front of your eyes. Imagine the audience at the 2013 Oscars holding back from laughing at Jennifer Lawrence’s tripping while getting on stage.
Actress Jennifer Lawrence is known for her charming and captivating attitude. She made a joke out of the embarrassing moment and enjoyed her award for best actress for Silver Linings Playbook.
Madonna
The Iconic Madonna was photographed at New York City’s Palladium nightclub while having some fun and hugging a guy. The singer didn’t mind the photographer’s intrusion and happily showed a big smile on her face.
The singer had glowing make-up on and wore shiny jewelry and a flower cap. She was just right into the trend of a 1985 party night.
Miley Cyrus And Robin Thicke
When two eccentric pop singers combine, anything can happen as a result. Back in 2013, Wrecking Ball was hitting number one, and Miley’s beautiful madness was all over the place. That same year, Blurred Lines was also a hit record.
Miley and Robin Thicke performed together at the VMAs in 2013. In the middle of the show, Miley twerked against the singer. Some people wished to reincarnate into Miley to live that moment.
Kim Kardashian’s Paper Cover
Stunning Kim Kardashian posed for the cover of Paper Magazine in a shocking way. The “Break the Internet” issue was a huge success, thanks to Kim’s perfect butt.
This 2014 photo made the internet go crazy, alongside her marriage to Kris Humphries. As of today, Kim won’t stop making headlines. She definitely runs the media world.
Britney Spears In 2007
Singer Britney Spears had several years of chaos and bad decision-making, and this photo is proof of it. In 2007 she went through a lot and didn’t hide it from the public, so paparazzi were out to capture the best shot.
The singer went to a hair salon after she got out of the rehab center. She saw the opportunity and boldly went for it: she grabbed a shaver and said goodbye to her hair.
Ron Galella Did It Again
Photographer Ron Galella excelled at taking the best celebrity shots. This time, he captured Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty and Donald Trump enjoying a night at Trump Plaza in 1988.
The celebrities were watching Mike Tyson kicking Michael Spinks’s butt. Sunglasses, cigarettes and most importantly, these men’s youth were all over the scene.
A Violent Relationship
Amy Winehouse’s life had some ups and downs, with most of the downs publicly known. The singer had an explosive marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil, and this photo is proof of it.
One night, the singer was caught leaving a hotel room with her husband. Both of them were injured and covered in blood. Hotel guests later declared that they heard the couple fighting. They didn’t even care to clean up a little bit.
Brad Pitt And Jennifer Aniston
Some Hollywood couples are so iconic that fans are desperate to see them together and paparazzi follow them everywhere they go. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were truly iconic in early 2000.
In 2005, the famous couple was in Anguilla when they were captured taking a walk on the beach. This was one of the last photos of the couple because they later broke up.
Amanda Bynes
Fame can take the best and the worst out of a person. The pressure and exposure are high, as not everybody can handle it. Actress Amanda Bynes was only 22 years old and a ten-year career behind.
The actress couldn’t cope with the pressure of fame. Her life was in a downward spiral until she hit rock bottom when she was arrested in 2013. Amanda was photographed attending her hearing in court with a comfy outfit and a messy wig.
John F. Kennedy Jr.
Handsome John F. Kennedy Jr. is captured by Ron Galella while enjoying a sunny day in Hyannis, Massachusetts, where the Kennedys own a compound.
Shirtless and holding a can of soda, JFK Jr. took the Labor Day weekend off for some refreshment.
What A Night
Lindsay Lohan had alcohol problems, and everybody knew about it. Paparazzi wouldn’t let the actress alone and always capture the worst moments of her life.
This photo was taken in 2007 after a rough night. After the paparazzi leaked the material, fans were worried that the actress had no control or limit over her life. Fortunately, the next day she went to rehab to get some help.
Out-Of-Control Sean Penn
Imagine being a celebrity who’s always followed by a camera everywhere you go. While it’s true that it is the cost of being famous and known, the situation can sometimes be exhausting. Some celebrities don’t have privacy at all.
Sean Penn was sick-and-tired of paparazzi. One day he decided to, instead of ignoring the men, give them a taste of his fists. The actor was out on a date with his wife at that time, Madonna.
Caught Cheating
The Twilight Saga was a huge success, as it gained fans around the world. Co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson started dating in real life, and fans were crazy about them. But Kristen had other plans in mind…
In 2012, Kristen was filming Snow White and the Huntsman while dating Pattinson. Paparazzi were always around to get a sneak peek when they caught Kristen and the movie director together. They were both cheating on their partners. The news went viral.
It Could’ve Been A Tragedy
There was a time when the paparazzi wouldn’t leave Britney Spears alone. One day, they captured the singer leaving the Ritz Carlton hotel and a scene that could have turned into tragedy.
Britney had Sean Preston, eight months old, in her arms when she lost balance and almost dropped him. Fortunately, a security guard quickly reacted and immediately caught the baby.
Tupac Shakur
It hurts when we lose a talent. In 1996, we lost one of the most famous rappers worldwide, Tupac Shakur. He had a unique talent, as he made a revolution in the hip-hop genre. Apart from being a singer, Shakur was also an actor, activist and philanthropist.
This photo was taken before the rapper was shot in his car while driving on a Nevada road. He spent six days in hospital but didn’t survive, as he had internal bleeding.
Cindy Crawford
Supermodel Cindy Crawford was burning red when she attended the 1990 Revlon event at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Kurt Cobain And His Daughter
Kurt Cobain was at the height of his career in the early 1990s. His band, Nirvana, only got more and more popular as the years went by. But, even though he was very busy with his career, he still had time to focus on his family.
Cobain was obsessed with his baby daughter, Frances. This photo shows him presenting a kitten to her, with nothing but love in his eyes. This photo was taken in 1993, a year before he passed away.
Caught Cheating
Ewan McGregor had been married to wife Eve Mavarakis for 22 years when he was caught cheating by the paparazzi with none other than Mary Elizabeth Winstead, his Fargo co-star in 2017.
This completely changed the actor's image, who was previously seen as a low-profile, nice guy. McGregor and Winstead have been together ever since and have a child together.
Best Friends Forever
Although we've only seen them together on screen a couple times, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire are inseparable in real life. The two have been best friends for over thirty years.
They met at an audition in the late 1980s when they were both twelve years old. The fact that both of them made it big in Hollywood at the same time only made their friendship stronger.
The Moonlight Fiasco At The Oscars
There were two big contenders for the Best Picture Oscar in 2017: La La Land and Moonlight. When the moment came for the winner to be announced, everyone was on the edge of their seats. Then, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway open the envelope and announced the winner.
And the winner was... La La Land. Everyone was cheering and the cast took to the stage, ready to give their thank-you speech. But just then, everyone went quiet. As it turns out, they had been given the wrong envelope, and the actual winner was Moonlight, and the La La Land cast had to awkwardly leave the stage.
Drew Barrymore And Princess Diana
Drew Barrymore has been one of the biggest stars in Hollywood for decades, so it's hard to remember a time when she wasn't famous. The truth is, she was famous for most of her life, as her breakout movie was E.T. The Extra-terrestrial in 1982, when she was just seven years old.
The movie was so successful that the cast even got to meet Princess Diana, arguably the biggest public figure at the time. Here, we can see an adorable Drew Barrymore giving Lady Di an E.T. plushie.
Britney's First Performance
Britney Spears' rise to fame was immediate. Her first song, Baby One More Time, was an instant hit, and soon after its release, the sixteen-year-old popstar was a household name.
This photo shows a young Britney Spears in one of her first big performances, wearing an outfit that just screams '1999.'
Jim Carrey's Paparazzi Strategy
When comedian Jim Carrey began dating Playboy model Jenny McCarthy, the paparazzi were all over them. Tired of being photographed, the couple decided to mess with the photographers.
One day, Carrey showed up to the beach wearing his girlfriend's swimsuit. This hilarious move actually made him even more popular than he was before, so it was a good idea to make the best out of an uncomfortable situation. If the paparazzi are going to be harassing you, at least take advantage!
Jessica Biel And Scarlett Johansson
Jessica Biel and Scarlett Johansson are two of the most gorgeous stars in Hollywood. While they became famous as adults, their careers began when they were children.
Much like Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire, Biel and Johansson met when they were 13 years old. This is them modeling in 1998, when they became friends.
A Young President
This young man looks like he could've been a model or an athlete, right? Well, he actually took a very different path in life. This man is a young Joe Biden, before he got into politics.
This photo was taken when he was a student at the University of Delaware. This photo went viral a couple of years ago because people did not expect the President to be this handsome in his youth!
Michael Jackson's Baby
New parents are always excited to show their babies off. However, most of them do it without putting their children in danger. Michael Jackson did not belong to this group of people.
While staying at a hotel in Berlin, the popstar decided to introduce his youngest son, Prince Michael II, to the world by dangling him over the railing of the balcony for a few seconds. Nothing happened to the baby, but Jackson was forever infamous for this reckless move.
I'm Not Famous Anymore
A mysterious actor showed up to the premiere of the movie Nymphomaniac wearing a paper bag that said: I'm not famous anymore. The man under the bag was none other than Shia LaBeouf, one of the stars of the movie.
It is still unclear why he did this; some believe it was for attention, while others think he was going through some kind of episode. LaBeouf is known for being volatile and unpredictable, so perhaps, it was the second reason.
Becoming A Meme
Everybody on the planet knows who Shaquille O'Neal is at this point, so it must be very hard for him to leave his house without being recognized or hounded by the paparazzi.
When he tried to hide his enormous body from photographers by standing behind a tiny tree, the paparazzi caught a photo that would later become a meme. To this day, this picture is still shared online with hilarious captions.
Robert Downey Jr.
Nowadays, we think of Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, one of Marvel's greatest super heroes. However, if you were alive in the '90s, you might remember a completely different Robert.
Back then, the actor was known for his flashy fashion and wild lifestyle. He struggled with substance abuse and was caught up in several scandals until he finally got clean in the 2000s.
Emma Stone And Andrew Garfield
Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield met on the set of Spiderman and quickly became a couple. The public fell in love with them and, consequently, the paparazzi started following them everywhere.
The actors decided to take this as an opportunity to draw attention to more important issues and began leaving the house with signs that they would use to cover their faces. Other celebrities loved the idea and did the same.
Madonna
Madonna became known not only for her catchy, groundbreaking music but also for her creative fashion sense. While some thought it was inappropriate, others praised the popstar for her fearless fashion.
Madonna has had many iconic looks over the years, but this particular Jean Paul Gaultier conical bra corset has been etched in people's memory through the decades.
Bruce Lee, Cha-Cha Champion
When we think of Bruce Lee, the image of a legendary martial artist comes to mind. However, people often forget that he was a man of many talents, including dancing.
In 1958, he took part in the Hong Kong Cha-Cha Dance Contest and, of course, won. There was simple nothing he could not do.
Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman
Before Brangelina existed and even before Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck dated for the first time, the hottest couple in Hollywood was made up of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.
The couple was married for a few years and adopted two children together before going through a very messy divorce. Nowadays, it seems as though people have forgotten this major moment in celebrity history.
Brad Pitt & Gwyneth Paltrow
Speaking of major celebrity couples that people forgot were together, did you know that Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow were once an item?
To be fair, one reason why this couple is often forgotten is that neither of them was a superstar when they dated. The two were actually engaged for a while, but never made it to the altar.
Lenin, The Cat Lover
Vladimir Lenin was a Russian revolutionary and the first head of Soviet Russia. The Marxist leader was known as a fearless, merciless man.
However, much like every human being on Earth, Lenin had a soft side and was a famous cat lover. He was pictured multiple times holding cats and petting them happily.
Gwen Stefani
It seems as though Gwen Stefani has not aged a day and all that has changed is her style. Before she dyed her hair platinum blond, she used to rock all sorts of colors like blue and pink on her hair.
It is hard to believe that the singer was 30 years old when this picture was taken, in 1999. She looked like a teenager! No wonder that now that she's in her 50s, she looks 20 years younger.
John Lennon & Yoko Ono
Many people saw the relationship between John Lennon and Yoko Ono as the demise of The Beatles, but no one can deny that they were truly in love.
The eccentric couple were together for 11 years until Lennon's death in 1980. They spent most of their relationship creating art that was considered controversial at the time.
Young Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake started out as a member of NSYNC, but quickly made a mark on his own. While the whole group was popular, it was clear that Timberlake stood out.
Back in the 90s, his signature look were his platinum blond curls, styled with way too much hairspray. It might look funny now, but back then, he was considered a heartthrob.
Steve Jobs & Bill Gates
When we think of revolutionary technology, the first people that come to mind are Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. The two of them had more in common than their talent for technology.
Coincidentally, they founded their groundbreaking companies, Apple and Microsoft, a year apart. The two were also around the same age and had many friends in common, so they enjoyed a friendly relationship at the beginning. As the years passed, however, their friendship turned into rivalry.
Baby Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie has made a name for herself decades ago and is one of Hollywood's biggest stars to ever exist. However, when she was little, she was known as Jon Voight's daughter.
Both of her parents were famous actors, so Angelina was definitely born with the acting bug. Here, we can see the actress as a baby being held by her mother, Marcheline Bertrand.
Brigitte Bardot & Picasso
When people hear the name Picasso, they think of a painter that lived hundreds of years ago: However, the famous artist passed away only 50 years ago.
In 1956, famous French actress Brigitte Bardot visited his studio, a meeting that made headlines back in the day, as both were extremely famous at the time.
The Biebs Is Angry
Justin Bieber never had a good reputation. Ever since he rose to prominence, he has been getting caught in one scandal after the other, so it's been hard to keep up.
One of the most memorable Bieber scandals is probably the one where he attempted to assault a paparazzi who was making fun of him, but was held back by his own bodyguard. The video quickly went viral.
The Beatles & Muhammad Ali
In 1964,The Beatles traveled to America to film their second appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Despite their busy schedule, they found time to meet Cassius Clay, a promising boxer.
This was just before the boxer's first big fight. Clay would later change his name to Muhammad Ali, and the rest is history.
Baby Kardashians
It's hard to believe that these three little girls would become the biggest reality stars of all time. Though they look unrecognizable, this picture is very much real, and it shows Kourtney, Khloe, and Kim in the 80s.
The girls were sporting matching outfits for an adorable family photo that Kim recently uploaded to her Instagram as a throwback.
Cameron Diaz
Some people are just blessed by their genetics, aren't they? Cameron Diaz was always beautiful and popular, even before she started high school.
This is a rare photo of the actress when she was a cheerleader at school. Fun fact: she attended school with another big celebrity: Snoop Dogg.
Young Shakira
This photo looks like it could have been taken yesterday since Shakira hasn't aged a day since the 90s, but the truth is that she was only sixteen years old when this photo was taken.
This was a few years after her recording debut but before she finally rose to prominence. After two albums that failed commercially, she rose to prominence in 1995 with her hit record Pies Descalzos.
Leonard Nimoy
Leonard Nimoy rose to fame thanks to his role as Spock in the Star Trek franchise, a character that he played for almost 50 years.
He was a hero to thousands of children all over the world, but his biggest fan was Adam, his son. Here, we can see Nimoy and Adam on the set of Star Trek, and Adam wearing Spock's iconic ears.
Bill Gates' Mug Shot
When we think of Bill Gates, several words come to mind: billionaire, genius, powerful... but lawbreaker? That is certainly not what we would expect from the guy.
However, the software magnate was arrested for speeding and driving without a license in 1975 when he was 20 years old. We all make mistakes when we are young!
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Before he became the Terminator and the governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger was a young man full of hopes and dreams.
This photo was taken the day he set foot in New York City for the first time after emigrating from Austria in 1968. Back then, he spoke very little English and struggled to adapt. Good thing he didn't give up!
Vladimir Putin & Ronald Reagan
Before he became president of Russia, Vladimir Putin was a KGB spy. Here, we can see a very young Putin on the job during Ronald Reagan's first visit to Moscow.
He was instructed to embarrass the American president while he was disguised as a member of a tourist party. Sadly, we don't know if he actually got to embarrass Reagan.
The Rachel
Friends, the legendary sit-com that launched the careers of Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox, first aired in 1994 and was well-received by audiences.
What stood out the most from that first season of the show was Aniston's haircut, which became known as The Rachel because of her character's name. Suddenly, women all over the world were begging their hairdressers for this look, and it became a 90s staple.
