Top 10 Celebrity Package Deals
10. John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell
These two curly-haired lovable giants are the only two people on this planet that matter. On a good day, maybe we'd care about the presence of some very specific, highly noteworthy comedians (Rob Delaney), but truly, once TALLADEGA NIGHTS was released, there was no turning back.
The two are foils of each other, playing variations of the same role and with a buddy-buddy feeling that just won't quit. Remember when they were “caught smooching” at a Lakers game last year?
If there is any love realer than the kind shared over a cheese-dipped hot dog while watching sweaty men dribble a ball, we haven't yet found it. These two have achieved the real deal.

I don't know if this is something to really be excited about or want to vomit up yesterday's three-cheese grilled cheese sandwich over, but the fact that Gwyneth and Bey-Bey are best friends keeps us on our toes.
It seems like the only thing in the center of their Venn Diagram is weird baby names that make no sense, but maybe we're wrong. Can you imagine a text message conversation between these two ladies? Would it be about fresh kale juice or diamond Louboutins?
We don't see the overlap, but we can keep on guessing. All we really care about in the end is: will their children date?

Seeing as Paul Walker has been in nothing else besides the FAST AND THE FURIOUS franchise, SHE'S ALL THAT, and that awesome Disney movie about park rangers that no one saw but me called MEET THE DEEDLES, it's safe to say that not only is driving in fast cars something he looks best at doing, but that he could only do it with Vin Diesel in tow.
Vin Diesel, an ever-diverse actor with a sheer magnum of talent, has starred in the FAST AND THE FURIOUS franchise, a movie called XXX about one baaaaddd dude, and a movie he starred in, directed, and wrote called STRAYS that we're surprised hasn't won several notable accolades just for being badass.
These two are inseparable, their onscreen chemistry could start a small forest fire, and they could continue to make movies about cars until they're in their nineties and not a single person would complain. Stick to what you're good at, we always say.

If you haven't yet seen Portlandia, you are probably that dude who hasn't seen anything good like WATERWORLD or a three-cheese grilled cheese sandwich. If you have seen the show, however, you're probably the dude laughing really hard at it, not realizing that you're the one that's being made fun of.
In the end, the only thing that matters is that we never knew Carrie Brownstein was so freaking hilarious outside of her musical career and that she and Fred Armisen are like the peanut butter and jelly of iPhone-toting organic farmers with a Kickstarter for their tote-bag-making operation that they sell at a handmade paper shop.

Do you remember the beginning of DARJEELING LIMITED when Bill Murray is chasing after a train in India that eventually leaves him behind and you spend the rest of the movie wondering how much better it would have been if he had caught the train? Think about the crack-ups and weird samosa-related pranks that Murray would have pulled.
A Wes Anderson movie without Bill Murray is like a pita without a pocket, a scone without jam, a good Velvet Underground song without Nico. With the exception of BOTTLE ROCKET, Murray has been giving love to Anderson's films since the beginning, and they're always the better for it. Bring on the crazy, we say.

All we can offer about these two is that if a more sexy duo existed, we can't seem to find it. With the first digital short that they did together, we saw a dream team funnier than the Steve Martins and Dan Akroyds of SNL's heyday. Finally we were given two wild and crazy guys that even your mom thinks are cute.
With Justin's musical talent and Andy's, well, Andy's musical talent, the two have made some impressive songs and skits together that prove them to be a match made in heaven. Every holiday season, we're forced to ask ourselves: what will they suggest we give to our loved ones this year? And we know it will be good. Real good.

Author: Dayna Evans4. Jay-Z and Kanye
Are Kanye and Jay-Z dating? After Kanye wrote that song about Jay, “Big Brother,” we were starting to think that maybe something else was going on . . . something completely awesome. Now with the release of “Watch the Throne,” we’re reckoning with the idea that these are just two besties who are completely and totally head-over-heels in love.
The two of them together seem a thousand times more powerful than say Jay-Z and his baby mama, Beyonce (who is probably off doing a cayenne pepper cleanse with Gwynny), and they always look like they're having an amazing time.
One thing is certain: these two gentlemen have got best friend swagger nailed down and a whole closet full of black, leather vests for days when they feel like matching. Whatever works, you guys.

Author: Dayna Evans3. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey
The way that Tina Fey describes Amy Poehler in her memoir, Bossypants, is one of the sweetest ways any friend could ever choose to describe a person. One of our biggest dreams is to be a fly on the wall at a sleepover with Tina and Amy, eating cheesy puffs and watching Breaking Bad and being funny and sweet and farting and everything that likely comes with being friends with these two.
They play two of the greatest characters on television (Leslie Knope and Liz Lemon, respectively), and they continue to woo us with their lovey, girly camaraderie. They've been together for years in an unbreakable bond of friendship that has created beautiful comedy, warm lady-bro moments, and unforgettable GIFs of Tina pranking Amy onscreen. Priceless.

Author: Dayna Evans2. Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio
If it isn't obvious enough by the last thirty billion movies he made, Martin Scorsese has a little bit of a crush on our friend, Leonardo DiCaprio. Can we blame him? We all do. This high-powered friendship makes for some great films like THE DEPARTED and GANGS OF NEW YORK and who could forget Leo's most dapper and psychotic role as a duly appointed federal marshal in SHUTTER ISLAND?
It's true that the two keep creating hit after hit together, so why should they quit while they're ahead? Personally, what we'd love to witness is a 120-minute movie of just the two of them, two happy Italians, having a cordial conversation over a plate of pasta bolognese. Do you think we can make this happen, people?

When Colbert was still on The Daily Show, we saw a budding bromance at its most political sweetness. The two characters riffed off of each other perfectly and we knew it could only get better once Colbert branched off on his own under the great American eagle wing of Jon Stewart.
The result was another great show where an occasional interaction between the gray-haired mentor and his right-winged compadre would occur, Jon treating little Steven like a younger brother and Steven eating it up and then throwing it right back.
Now that Colbert has some bigger britches and has perhaps begun to outshine our favorite politico Stewart, the tables have turned a little bit. But luckily, the two remain close friends and are a dynamic duo. And that’s the truthiness.
