Russell Crowe & RZA

The actor has worked with the Wu-Tang Clan rapper on several movies, including The Man with the Iron Fists, American Gangster and The Next Three Days. But their bond goes much deeper than that. "As friends, we talk," Crowe tells Fuse. "It is no effort for me to give a friend advice. Film has many gods and you have to understand, as a director, you will be required to please and appease them all."

Robert Pattinson & Vince Vaughn

The Twilight hunk accompanied the funny man for a boys' night out on the town (Joaquin Phoenix was also in attendance), where R.Pattz surely made at least one Wedding Crashers reference. We assume. Weirdness: 5/10

Reese Witherspoon & Mindy Kaling

We're guessing that the queen of rom-coms and the No. 1 fan of rom-coms probably discuss action films and sci-fi movies when they lunch together, right? Or they just recite When Harry Met Sally line for line. Weirdness: 3/10
