There's a fun thread where people have posted which team types they'd like to see for TAR3. Now, here's your new challenge...

It's Celebrity TAR! Choose the teams for a special media whore version. Bonus points if you pick teams that fit into the current mold.

Two fairly recent divorces give me ideas for the Separated Couple -- Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman or Tom Green & Drew Barrymore.

And an obvious joke for the Gay Couple is Mike Piazza & insert other guy here .

Best Friends could be Matt Damon & Ben Affleck. The New England connection gives more bonus points. ('cause I'm making the rules and said so)

Any other ideas?

How about Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan?

Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson?

Eminem and Elton John?

Mike Boogie Malin and Kent from Big Brother 2?

I'd like to see those people try to get along!

attending Florida State, another unfortunate side effect of hunger

>Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson?

Oh, the mental picture! I just wonder which one would yell to the other..."Swing, you fat bastard, swing!"

How about, "Swing or I'll bite your ear off!"

Sorry, I just had to say it.

All hail the new gutsy grannies ..... Liz Taylor and Debbie Reynolds (and oooooh the history between these two would be priceless.)

Tobey McGuire and Leo DiCaprio in the R&B roles of best friends (which they are in real life.)

Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson (yum) in the Blake and Paige roles.

First that come to mind, will think of more.

The Mike Piazza one is hilarious. I'd say Tom Cruise for the other guy, but I don't want to get sued. Before Piazza's press conference, I'd never even heard any rumors.

Anyway, How about Todd Bridges and Gary Coleman--they might actually do it.
They could put Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward as the old coots, or Sharon Stone and Phil Bronstein as the team everyone loves to hate. (And in a true fantasy, Bill and Hillary--Bill could scam other players while Hillary throws things at him).
And don't forget Anjelina Jolie and her brother as the new Blake and Paige.
Pick any two Arquettes for the siblings as well--Maybe David and Alexis, or even Roxana and Patricia.
My favorite ex-couple would be J. Lo evilly berating any of her exes--Cris Judd is okay, but Puffy would be the ultimate.

-Billy Jean King and Martha Stewart (covers both the Ensure and the Peaches and Scream angles)
-Shaggy and Velma..just because Im a Velma in a Daphne world...
-Nathan Lane and Paul Lynde (ok, so hes dead...theyd be a riot though)
-Marlon Brando and Dom Deluise...and I wanna see them hang glide...

gimme some time...Im sure I can think of a few more....

Ok, I got some...

-Shirley Manson(Garbage) and Gwyneth Paltrow-Only cause I'm sexually attracted to both of em.

-David Duke and Spike Lee-Something tells me there would be no "Jungle Fever" between these two. Let's just hope they "Do the Right Thing" and get along.

-Robert Deniro and Carrot Top-Ok, here's our one chance to get rid of Carrot Top. After a few legs with this guy, Deniro will certainly snap and end up killing him.

-Mariah Carey and Anne Heche-They could call themselves "Team Cookoo"

-O.J. Simpson and Robert Blake-These two would be killer at this game!

-O.J. Simpson and Robert Blake-These two would be killer at this game!

I was laughing, then I actually snorted... toooooooooo funny (and tooooo late, it's still making me guffaw - how un-lady-like!)

How about

- Heidi Fleiss and any of her Men who used to visit her

- Hugh Heffner and Pamela Anderson

- Rosie O'Donnell and Paula Poundstone

- Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky

Ahhh... fun.

Can I hijack this thread Bebo? Kidding.

For the gay couple, I'd like to see Robin Williams and Nathan Lane reprise their roles from the Birdcage. They cracked me up.

For celebrity TAR seperated couple, I'll go with Oprah and Stedman Graham. On again, off again, bickering away.

For a mother daughter team, I'll go with Elisabeth Shue and whomever her mother is.

Best buddies. Hmmmm. How about Canseco and McGwire, both retired and the Bash Brothers go out with a bang.

>Can I hijack this thread Bebo?

I wouldn't mind a hijack from you - I can count on you to keep things interesting.

>Best buddies. Hmmmm. How
>about Canseco and McGwire, both
>retired and the Bash Brothers
>go out with a bang.

Again, which one would yell, "Swing, you fat bastard, swing!"

Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that we would then hear about a steroid investigation into TAR?

Rude, snotty, mean, horrible, nasty, witch, yadda yadda yadda...

Hey, maybe Chex was on steroids. They certainly didn't win on brains.

Wil would be a candidate, too, except for his pathetic lack of strength. He certainly exhibited roid rage, though.

Here's my CELEBRITY TAR...

Life Partners
Adam West and Burt Ward...
TV’s original “Dynamic Duo”

Incestuous Sibs
Barry Williams and Maureen McCormick...
Original Greg and Marcia Brady, who fooled around while taping the TV series

The Twins
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen...
Hey, they're legal in some states!

Mom and Daughter
Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson...
Giggles, anyone?

Dad and Daughter
Steven and Liv Tyler...
No, walk THIS way, Dad

Dad and Son
Martin and Charlie Sheen...
Never mind those girls outside the bus terminal, son

Brothers
Baldwins. Any Baldwins...
Can they rotate through the show?

Best Buds
Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConnaghey...
Buds. Real buds. Bongos, too.

Loving Couple
R. Kelly and Halle Berry...
Only she's not Halle Berry, she's 10-year-old Hallie Eisenberg!

Cell mates
Martha Stewart and Winona Ryder...
Martha teaches Winona which spoon to steal to make the perfect shiv

The Gay Couple
Mike Piazza and Roger Clemens...
Oooh, what a big bat you have...

Best Pals
Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell...
Funny duo. And there's no crying in TAR.

Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla...
Funnier duo. If we can't get Adam, Bill Maher is available.

Team Turmoil
Russell Crowe and Dennis Quaid...
Qwitcher cryin' over Meg Ryan

Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera...
Team Diva ain't no Mickey Mouse Club anymore.

Kid Rock and Tommy Lee...
Pamela Anderson sex video partners unite!

Most of the good ideas have been taken, but here are some stupid ones.........

How about Kid Rock and Hank Williams, Jr.?
Or Sheryl Crow and Willie Nelson?
Or Cheech & Chong?
Or Charles & Marilyn Manson?
Or Johnny Carson & Jay Leno?
Or Britney Spears & Justin Timberlake?
Or Ellen DeGeneres & Anne Heche?
Or Al Gore & George W. Bush?
Or George Bush and George W. Bush?
Or Bill & Hillary Clinton?
Or Monica Lewinsky & Hillary Clinton?
Or Rick Fox & Vanessa Williams?
Or Roseanne Baar & Tom Arnold?

Divorced Couple
John McEnroe & Tatum O'Neil. Can you just imagine the clips of McEnroe cussing out people?

Brothers
Macaulay & Kieran Culkin. Would the 'used to be cute' factor help or hinder them?

Lesbian Couple
Mellisa Etheridge & Tammy Lynn Michaels. Tammy might play for the other team, but she's so hot!

Married Couple
Arnold Schwarzenegger & Maria Shriver. They'd actually be very competative.

Father & Son
Julio & Enrique Iglesias. From what I understand, they don't speak to each other very much, so this should be worth some fireworks.

Uncle & Nephew
Snoop Doggy Dogg & Lil' Bow Wow. I suppose Bow Wow is too young, but I think he should be able to handle himself. And Snoop Dogg could murder people who got in their way.

Brother & Sister
Julia & Eric Roberts. No one would pay any attention to Eric.

Married Couple #2
Davie Bowie & Iman. I doubt they'd be going to Somalia somehow, but her knowldge of Swahilli would be useful in other parts of Africa.

How about any pro wrestling tag - team.

Cousins Bo and Luke Duke

Evil gay couple Boss Hogg and Roscoe P. Coltraine.

Funny friends Pauley Shore and Carrottop.

The twin Sisters Bush.

The mother daughter team of the Judds.

Separated couple Bill and Hillary Clinton.

>Funny friends Pauley Shore and Carrottop.

I am fairly sure that it would be impossible for me to convey in written word how completely painful this would be to watch... I could easily see myself jamming forks in my eyes and ramming pencils down my ears to avoid any sight or sound realting to these two wastes of "comedic" space.

With that, I say we make a Surivor Amazing Race...

Hunter and Gina?

Mad Dog and Nacho Mamma?

Keith and Jerri?

Richard and Brandon? (oooh, now there's an evil gay couple...)

Colby and Silas? (taking the place of the strong idiots Chris and Alex...)

Could be fun...

Love shack, baaayby!

>Richard and Brandon? (oooh, now there's
>an evil gay couple...)

To me, it'd be funnier to see Frank and Brandon stick it out for an entire race. The bull-headed straight-laced get-to-the-point guy teamed up with a flighty, lazy, who-gives-a-shi gay guy. Five bucks says Frank would have Brandon in a noose by the half-way point of the show or at least say "oops" as he pushes him over a ledge.

Other funny couplings/teams I'd pay to see:

Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner in their "War of the Roses" characters

Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd from "Moonlighting"

Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz

Jerry Springer and Miss Manners

.......

>To me, it'd be funnier to see Frank and Brandon stick
>it out for an entire race.

Oh my heck, I'll second that!

Other fun Survivor teams:
- Sue and Kelly
- Lindsey and Linda
- Keith and Colby
- Amber and Kim P. (they wouldn't actually be able to do anything, since there's no one to lead them around by the nose, but there are some male posters who would probably appreciate watching them for one episode)

This little light of mine...I'm gonna let it shine!

Slutty woman/abusive man. (Tara/Will)
Tonya Harding/Ike turner.

Lovable old couple,
WildChickenCooker/WildChickenHunter.

Dumb couple,
Alec Baldwin, Kim Basinger.
