100 Hottest Celebrity Couples of 2012

Find out which of Hollywood's most famous pairs have it all: success, attractiveness, popularity and staying power.
The Definition of "Hot"
The annoying part about always being right is having to constantly support your claims with facts. We knew this four years ago when we first used math science to define what it meant to be a hot couple in Hollywood and then used it to rank them. We've refined our method even further this year such that we can say with complete confidence that all subjectivity has been removed from the widely overused adjective. "Hot," as it turns out, is not in the eye of the beholder. It's all in the numbers.

Full disclosure: Not a single Zimbio editor holds a mathology degree. However, we do have lots of money that can buy super-computers and employ engineers who know how to turn these machines on and off as well as make them do stuff, we're told. Anyway, it took a while, but four years ago an algorithm was born with one purpose: Measure a couple's hotness using four sets of criteria. Success, Attractiveness, Popularity and Staying Power. Here's how it breaks down:

Popularity
To numerically quantify a couple's popularity, we measured search volume within the last 12 months using a variety of public web tools (Google AdWords is one example). We then combined that data with our own set of very granular internal site analytics (site search, picture page views, traffic to their topic pages, time on site, to name a few).

Success
For success, let's face it, it's all about tha Benjamins (typed the white girl uncomfortably). So we naturally looked at things like paychecks, major signed deals (record, movie, spokesperson etc.), but also took into account things like awards and other distinctive recognition among their well-groomed peers.

Attractiveness
This is a tricky one because taste varies so wildly from person to person. The only way to assign a numeric value to a couple's attractiveness was to crowd-source a massive sampling of the Internet in a straight-up face-off style game like this. Of the thousands of people who played the game, none knew they were powering this ranking criteria. It's a guys-vs-guys, girls-vs-girls "Who's Hotter?" battle and the results are sometimes not pretty. The problem with measuring a subjective thing like "attractiveness" is that people/couples are "graded" on a bell curve. So when you see couples with an Attractiveness rating of "1," it's not that no one thinks they're attractive, it's just that couples like Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady screw it up for the rest. Sorry Coco and Ice-T.

Staying Power
Here couples scored points for engagements, marriages, babies and length of their relationships. Points were also deducted based on the number of recent partners, break-ups or separations (looking at you JT and Jessica), as well as the validity and/or volume of infidelity rumors.



1. Beyonce & Jay-Z
These two already had it all, then they went and had a baby. With perfect scores in three out of four categories, this music megacouple easily walked away with our top spot for the second year in a row. Every album Jay-Z's ever released (there are over 15) has gone platinum, he owns nightclubs, his own record company, and he's married to the hottest, richest, hardest working mom on the airwaves.

On top of spending much of the last year pregnant, Beyonce put out an album, has two more in the works, and Forbes named her one of the Top-Earning Women in Music in 2011. Plus, she's married to a rapper so successful he's redefined wealth in the hip-hop game, so talented his book of lyrics made the New York Times Best Seller list, so business savvy he's friends with Warren Buffett and so thoughtful he released a single, "Glory," dedicated to Blue Ivy Carter just two days after she was born.


2. Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt
Brad and Angelina sent us scrambling to check our math when they confirmed news they were planning to get hitched. They've been together for seven years and they're raising six kids together, so they already scored high in Staying Power. These two also remain the most-admired Hollywood power couple year after year, carving out time for worthwhile causes and masterfully avoiding overexposure.

All that and Angelina still rules the red carpet. Who could forget her Oscar dress this year? With Brad nominated for two awards, Angie ruled the Academy's pre-show in a dress with a slit up to there. We can't wait to see what she wears to the wedding! Last Year's Rank: 4


3. David & Victoria Beckham
The Beckhams' appeal goes beyond his sexy new underwear line and her exquisitely designed dresses. We also love the way they put family first. Seeing Becks teach their boys to surf, and Posh sitting on the grass at their soccer games makes this Adonis/Venus pairing seem down to earth. With a family life just as attractive as they are, it's no wonder they topped our list in 2010, and their online popularity has shown no signs of waning. Lastly, we can't wait to see how Victoria dresses little Harper Seven in the coming years! Last Year's Rank: 7


4. Prince William & Kate Middleton
Prince William and Kate Middleton are getting ready to celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary and the power couple is still at the top of their game. The Duchess, who has yet to have a bad hair day, is a darling with newshounds and fashionistas alike. She spends her time visiting sick children and performing various royal duties. Meanwhile, her prince rescued two sailors in November and nobly extended his career with the military until 2016. The college sweethearts still have a legion of loyal fans and they always will, unless Middleton suddenly stops wearing beautiful dresses. Last year's rank: 3


5. Gisele Bundchen & Tom Brady
Gisele made $250 million over the last decade and was named one of Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Women in 2011. At this point, she's still outperforming the Dow. For his part, Tom is widely considered one of the best NFL quarterbacks of all time. This year he led the New England Patriots to the Super Bowl for the fifth time and after 12 active seasons he shows no signs of slowing down. And while Tom's jaw is so chiseled it even looks good under those long greasy locks, we have to give him bonus points for finally cutting them off. Our readers voted this one of the most attractive pairings on our list, and since Gisele's probably going to be looking hot well into her 80s, we don't see that score dropping next year. Last Year's Rank: 9


6. Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel
What a Hottest Couples roller coaster these two have been on. They came in at No. 8 in 2010, were broken up and off the list in 2011, and bounded up to No. 6 this year. So how did they crack the top 10 for their re-appearance? JT made three movies in 2011, has another in the works, and had time to host another hilarious episode of SNL. Plus, he proposed with a huge ring! The bride-to-be has four movies on the horizon, including the highly anticipated Total Recall remake. And it helps that both stars are incredibly easy on the eyes. Their wedding pictures are going to be out of control! Welcome back, you two. You were missed. Last Year's Rank: N/A


7. Cristiano Ronaldo & Irina Shayk
First and foremost, these two are HOT. The Russian beauty made an appearance in 2012's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and has already landed three magazine covers this year. Her soccer stud fiance's biggest endorsement involves pedaling time pieces shirtless. World-famous abs aside, Ronaldo scored his 100th goal with Real Madrid, where he's one of the highest-paid footballers of all time. Now if these engaged stars decide to say "I do" in their underwear, they might even bump into the top five. Last year's rank: 18


8. Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes
Tom Cruise proved he's still one of the most bankable leading men in Hollywood when Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol brought in an impressive $638 million at the global box office. That helped to boost this couple's success score and get them into the top 10. He's on track for another blockbuster this summer, but if Rock of Ages flops, at least we can count on his sweet, sweet '80s wig to be wildly entertaining. The missus continues to raise their miniature adult, Suri, who is the best-dressed star in the family. The TomKat empire is in capable little hands. Last year's rank: 31


9. Jessica Alba & Cash Warren
Without a blockbuster or a chart topper between them, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have remained one of the most popular couples on the Internet. These two are undeniably attractive, Google-able, and have an ultra sweet pair of little girls with mommy's good looks. While Jessica's only movie this year was an ill-fated Spy Kids sequel, she's become something of a fashion darling, with many a mom looking to her daily wardrobe for style cues. Last year's rank: 38


10. Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck
Jen and Ben are as down to earth as a Hollywood power couple can get. With two daughters and a newborn son, these two are spotted hauling around the kids more often than they are on the red carpet. While looking gorgeous in Arthur and working on a movie about butter sculpting, Jennifer still found time to schlep the girls to various ballet practices in mom jeans. The word is this happy couple is planning to renew their vows in June. And with his directing career on the rise, and a role in the next Terrence Malick project, we can certainly expect to see more of Ben in the coming year. Last year's rank: 24


11. Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon
Raise your hand if you never thought Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's marriage would last. Raise your other hand if you never thought they'd become parents. If you have both hands in the air, you look pretty funny and were very wrong about these two. They welcomed twins, Monroe and Morroco, on their third anniversary in April 2011. These new additions boosted their Staying Power and Popularity scores. And while Ms. Carey is just getting back into music after becoming a mom (she performed for the first time in ages in March), her man had to take a step back from his career in light of recent health problems. Still, success and good press boosted them into the top 15. Last year's score: 34 


12. Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth
Miley Cyrus and her strapping boyfriend of three years, Liam Hemsworth, aren't headed down the aisle quite yet, but that doesn't mean they're not a serious power couple in the under-25 pool. Both are smokin' hot, have had wildly successful years (thanks Hunger Games), and are unbelievably popular online. The odds that they'll live happily ever after are pretty slim, but if they do last we're confident they'll top this list someday. Last year's rank: N/A


13. Alessandra Ambrosio & Jamie Mazur
Alessandra Ambrosio has a lot going for her. She's unbelievably gorgeous and looks fantastic in a bikini (you know you've Googled it), which has helped to make her one of the elite Victoria's Secret Angels. This means that she and her financier fiancé, Jamie Mazur, scored a sweet spot for their debut on our list. The fact that the Brazilian stunner is also sporting one of the cutest pregnancy tummies around didn't hurt the couple's cause either. Their precious daughter Anja will become a big sister late this year. Last year's rank: N/A


14. Miranda Kerr & Orlando Bloom
Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom didn't have standout years career-wise (though the model did get to wear the $1 million Fantasy Bra down the runway), but their everlasting good looks, precious son, and popularity gave them a boost. That, and we have a feeling The Hobbit will set all kinds of box office records next year. Last year's rank: 25


15. Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez
They're the hottest teen couple since Justin and Britney, and nothing can keep them from ruling the charts. The Biebs collaborated with some of music's biggest stars for a Christmas album, went on tour, won tons of awards, and is working on a new record. His little lady also toured, filmed a movie, and was most understanding when Bieber got tangled up in a gnarly, totally fake paternity scandal. They have yet to prove their love isn't the world's most genius publicity stunt, but after celebrating their one-year anniversary in March, we say they're on the right track. Last year's rank: 17


16. Ryan Gosling & Eva Mendes
The Hottest Co-star Couple of the Year award goes to Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling, hands down. They debuted at No. 18 on the list thanks to a perfect Attractiveness score and high marks in Success. Though Gosling was snubbed during awards season, Crazy, Stupid, Love really put him back on the mainstream map. Mendes' flick Fast Five crushed at the box office and you can expect their upcoming flick, The Place Beyond the Pines, to do the same. Where were they dinged? Well, the odds that they'll stay together are pretty slim. Any couple that sexy has to be keeping their options open, right? Last year's rank: N/A


17. Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart
Twilight mania was at its height last year, launching alleged love birds Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart to the No. 2 spot on our list. Now that Twihards have simmered down a bit—and The Hunger Games has taken the tween world by storm—the couple that won't admit they're a couple has dropped a few spots. While their Popularity and Success scores remain high, the fact that they've never actually confirmed their relationship got in the way of a top 10 position. Perhaps when Breaking Dawn Part 2 hits theaters in November they'll finally 'fess up. Last year's rank: 2





18. Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin
Just for a second forget that the world has yet to see these two together on a red carpet. Then think about just how powerful and popular Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow are together. Over the last year the actress made waves on Glee and proved she can carry a tune, though not quite as well as her Coldplay hubby. The band put out a successful album in 2011 despite an eyeroll-inducing title on its lead single. Last year's rank: 50






19. Rosie Hungtington-Whiteley & Jason Statham
He may be 44 and bald, but Jason Statham has a lot going for him. He's one of the hottest action stars out there and he's been dating the lovely Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for two years. She had a huge year, landing the top spots on Maxim's Hot 100 list and FHM's World's Sexiest Women poll. He starred in four movies last year and has some exciting projects on the horizon, like Expendables 2. Together, we imagine they'll have another fantastic year of traveling the globe—if they last. These two were dinged in the Staying Power department because, well, they're 20 years apart and we all know how that usually ends in Hollywood. Last year's rank: 68






20. Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux
Has Hollywood's golden girl finally found true love again? Well, so far all signs point to yes. Jennifer Aniston and her Wanderlust co-star Justin Theroux made their debut last summer and have seemed smitten ever since. They rented a house together, adopted a dog, and they became an even more attractive couple after the biker dude ditched his hipster beard. Even if the two don't grow old together, they're currently happy strolling around town in matching leather jackets. Last year's rank: N/A






21. Johnny Depp & Vanessa Paradis
Johnny Depp and French model/singer Vanessa Paradis have been together for over a decade, but they're very, very private about their family life. They rarely step out together in public, perhaps making it easier to believe the sordid breakup rumors that hounded them earlier this year. While we believe Paradis' denial about the split, the whisperings lowered the couple's Staying Power score. However, Depp's continued success with the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, the hype around Dark Shadows, and Rango's Oscar win kept the couple in the top 25. Last year's rank: 8






22. Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale
Rock's hottest couple is still chugging along. Stefani's perfect red lipstick has held up over the years, but it seems interest in the couple has tapered off. They spend much of their time hanging out with their adorable sons at the park, and, frankly, it's kind of boring. While it makes them awesome parents, the lack of drama and excitement led to the drop off in their Popularity and Success scores. But we have a feeling they'll pop right back into the headlines when the new No Doubt album is released, hopefully this year. Also, we have a feeling their Attractiveness score would shoot up significantly if Mr. Rossdale would just cut and wash his hair. Last year's rank: 13






23. Penelope Cruz & Javier Bardem
Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz waste no time on small, unsuccessful projects. Instead, they go for broke once a year, if that. For instance, Ms. Cruz blew up the box office in 2011 with Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which grossed $1 billion worldwide. Before that, she'd been busy with motherhood and hadn't made a movie in two years. Bardem's only had three roles since nabbing an Oscar in 2007, but he just signed on to be the villain in the next James Bond flick, Skyfall. Last year's rank: 5






24. Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban
Unlike fellow actress-singer couple Gwyneth and Chris, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are total hams when it comes to the cameras. There's not a red carpet they haven't walked! In addition to showing off his luscious locks whenever possible, Urban went on tour in 2011 and landed a gig as a vocal coach on Australia's version of The Voice. Kidman starred in the somewhat successful rom-com Just Go With It in 2011 and has two flicks in the works. The stars aren't in the headlines on a regular basis, but as showbiz veterans they'll always have a steady fanbase and level of success. Last year's rank: 26






25. Adriana Lima & Marko Jaric
Adriana Lima will forever be known as a Victoria's Secret Angel. She's had the gig for 12 years and seems to only get hotter with age—and each pregnancy. The Brazilian beauty and Marko Jaric, a Serbian basketball player, announced in March that they're expecting baby No. 2! Seems like Jaric is Mr. Mom (he hasn't had a basketball contract since the 2010-2011 season), which is pretty darn adorable. Thanks largely to Lima's bevy of bikini pictures floating around the Internet, these two round out our top 25. Last year's rank: 27






26. Natalie Portman & Benjamin Millepied
Natalie Portman's movie choices over the last year were a mixed bag. The No Strings Attached poster featured her without pants so naturally it did well at the box office, even if reviews were subpar. Your Highness totally flopped, while Thor banked a cool $448 million at the box office. The projects were enough to land her at No. 75 on Forbes' Top 100 list in 2011. In her personal life, things have been good all around. Rumor has it the actress secretly married her choreographer fiancé, with whom she has an adorable son, Aleph. If Mr. Millepied would just break into the biz we think these two would be top 10 material. Last year's rank: 40






27. Enrique Iglesias & Anna Kournikova
Believe it or not, Enrique Iglesias has been pumping out hits for over 10 years. He crossed over from Latin pop way back in 1999 with "Bailamos" and his 2001 music video for "Escape" led him to tennis star Anna Kournikova. Since then, Iglesias' music has come along way—"Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" broke into the top 10 Billboard charts last year—and so has their relationship. These days, Kournikova is basically retired at the ripe age of 30, which leaves a lot of time for hanging out on yachts while her man's touring. Last year's rank: 14






28. Faith Hill & Tim McGraw
The couple that sings together stays together. Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are still making sappy, incredibly catchy country music after 16 years of marriage. They went on their first joint Australian tour in 2012 and, naturally, brought their three daughters along for the shows. Before hitting the road, McGraw focused on his music and put out his 11th studio album, Emotional Traffic. His lovely wife is currently working on her seventh. Though their attractiveness and popularity aren't what they used to be a decade ago, their stable careers and relationship put them at No. 28 on our list. Their picture perfect life also gives us hope for a similar fairytale between Beyonce and Jay-Z down the line. Last year's rank: 19






29. Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds
The chances of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds lasting are slim to none. Despite the low score in the Staying Power department, they managed to debut on our list at No. 29. This is mostly because the pair is incredibly sexy (they scored a perfect 20 in Attractiveness) and popular online. Neither star had a standout year career-wise, but we have a feeling if Lively can break out of her Gossip Girl role, Reynolds finally admits he's indie comedy material, AND they stay together, they'll crack the top 10 next year. Last year's rank: N/A






30. Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green
Megan Fox can do no wrong. She's had small roles in a few okay films since getting the boot from the Transformers franchise, yet she's still one of the most popular ladies on the web. Her husband hasn't exactly done anything of note since he married Tori Spelling on TV in the '90s. However, together these two are practically unmatched in the looks department and seem to have a stable relationship now that they've been married for two years. A baby or blockbuster would really help them out in next year's competition. Last year's rank: 35






31. Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith
At about this time last year, vicious rumors had us worried that Will and Jada Pinkett Smith would be long divorced by now. They beat the odds though, and spent the last year helping their talented kids, Willow and Jaden, gracefully break into the family business. Will's acting career has been on the back burner, but he'll return with a bang when Men in Black III hits theaters. As for Jada, will she become a full-time momager now that Hawthorne is over? Last year's rank: 6






32. Shakira & Gerard Pique
Shakira survived a sea lion attack to make her debut on our list with her handsome soccer star beau Gerard Pique. There might be 15 inches and 10 years between them (she's 5-foot-1 and 35, he's 6-foot-4 and 25), but they do have some serious chemistry. They love showing off for the cameras, perhaps a little too much. Apparently some vacation pictures of the couple got the Barcelona player in some hot water with his team in March. But these two started dating soon after Shakira split from Antonio de la Rua after 11 years, and rebound relationships rarely last. Just ask Jennifer Lopez. Last year's rank: N/A






33. Fergie & Josh Duhamel
Fergie turned 37 in late March and boasted that her hubby bought her gorgeous black diamond earrings, a gift she didn't even have to ask for. "He knows me," she explained. Things seem just peachy in their household these days, which is a much different picture than we had of them years back when cheating rumors plagued their new marriage. Perhaps the change has stemmed from the Black Eyed Peas singer's break from the biz. She announced the band's hiatus in July 2011 and has been instead focusing on her shoe line, fragrance, and home life. She says now she's dealing with "normal chaos, not tour chaos." Last year's rank: 28




34. Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka
Life has slowed down a bit for newly engaged Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, who welcomed twins via surrogate in 2010. Fatherhood has taken center stage. However, NPH is still raking in the big bucks on How I Met Your Mother and had a small movie role as a "Celebrity Dance-Off Host" in American Reunion. Burtka's biggest contribution to their score was his dashing good looks. Last year's rank: 37






35. Jennifer Lopez & Casper Smart
Jennifer Lopez and her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, rounded out the top 10 on last year's list. A lot has changed since then. The couple split in July 2011 and by the time Thanksgiving rolled around both stars had found hot 24-year-old rebounds. Lopez's new man, Casper Smart, was one of her backup dancers. Now, he's traveling the world with her (not in a bus) and she even bought him a tricked-out truck for his birthday. The tattooed dancer also starred in Lopez's music video for "Dance Again." That said, the odds of this blazing hot romance keeping the heat aren't exactly high. Last year's rank: N/A


36. Reese Witherspoon & Jim Toth
Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth have been nothing short of adorable throughout their year of marriage. He's great with her kids, they all dress up for church every weekend, and now there's a baby on the way! It doesn't get much more wholesome in Hollywood. While the blonde's latest movies (Water for Elephants and This Means War) didn't do as well as expected, she'll have at least three more shots at a blockbuster this year—on top of prepping for baby No. 3. Meanwhile, Toth continues to hold down the fort at Creative Artists Agency. Last year's rank: 41





37. Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield
We can't wait to see The Amazing Spider-Man this summer, mostly for a glimpse of Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield's onscreen chemistry, which led to a real life relationship. The couple has been holding hands and kissing in public for months now and it's hard to think their PDA is anything but super sweet. They look great together and are two of Hollywood's hottest rising stars. The redhead can boast about kissing Ryan Gosling in two movies (Crazy Stupid Love and upcoming Gangster Squad) over the last year. Garfield took a break from acting after 2010's The Social Network but is back with the superhero role and onstage in the Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman. If they can survive the perils of new fame and young love, we have a feeling they'll be a Hollywood power couple in no time. Last year's rank: N/A






38. Halle Berry & Olivier Martinez
Last year it looked like Halle Berry was simply rebounding with her French co-star, Olivier Martinez. Well, the skeptics were wrong because now they're engaged! Perhaps the third marriage will be the charm for the gorgeous actress. It seems like cultivating their budding relationship (and fighting Berry's ex in court) were all the couple had time for last year. She only had a small role in New Year's Eve, while Martinez didn't star in any films in 2011. They'll join forces on the big screen in Dark Tide in a few months, but let's face it, the hotness factor is carrying these two. Last year's rank: 94






39. Carrie Underwood & Mike Fisher
It seems like Carrie Underwood is getting all the singing and acting out of her system before starting a family with hockey star hubby Mike Fisher. The country star has been adamant about waiting for the perfect time, and with a fourth album nearing and a couple of movies under her belt, perhaps that moment is around the corner. Until then, the couple's good looks and career endeavors have helped them maintain a respectable place on our list. Last year's rank: 22






40. Vanessa Hudgens & Austin Butler
Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler are inseparable these days. They've been dating since September 2011 and haven't let the cameras get in the way of their beachy makeout sessions. We can't really blame them, since time together is limited these days. Hudgens has had to be in Florida to film Spring Breakers while Butler has been running all over NYC for his role in the highly anticipated Sex and the City prequel, The Carrie Diaries. Both stars are more popular than ever right now, we'll just have to wait and see if they'll still be together by the time their flicks hit theaters. Last year's rank: N/A






41. Kourtney Kardashian & Scott Disick
Kourtney and Scott may never outgrow reality TV and shameless self-promotion, but these two shot up our list this year when they announced they're expecting baby No. 2. Mason's going to be a big brother! This news gave the reality TV couple a boost in their Popularity score, even though the Kardashian train lost some of its steam over the last year. We'd next love to see Disick become as important as he looks in those ridiculous bow ties. Last year's rank: 74






42. George Clooney & Stacy Keibler
We know George Clooney isn't going to marry former WWE model Stacy Keibler. He's never hidden his stance again marriage. However, they obviously have looks in their favor and it's also been a winning year for the silver fox career-wise. He was nominated for an Oscar for The Descendants, teamed up with Ryan Gosling for Ides of March, and will star alongside Sandra Bullock in Gravity this year. At 50, he shows no signs of aging or slowing down. Ms. Keibler's biggest accomplishment of the last year was landing Mr. Clooney, of course. She also had a minor role in a straight-to-DVD film called Dysfunctional Friends. Last year's rank: N/A






43. Howard Stern & Beth Ostrosky
Howard Stern has played his cards incredibly well. He has a hot wife, at least $500 million cash on hand, and a new spot as a judge on America's Got Talent. He's also the highest paid radio personality on the planet. Still. All that combined to make him Forbes magazines' 49th Most Powerful Celebrity in 2011. Ostrosky has been on the cover of FHM three times over the years and continues to model. She's also regularly the subject of her husband's photography.  While these two aren't both A-listers, they have longevity, the blonde's hotness, and mountains of cash in their favor. Last year's rank: 55






44. Nina Dobrev & Ian Somerhalder
Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder are two of the most beautiful TV stars around. In fact, the Vampire Diaries couple is the sixth overall hottest on our list. Plus, they have a very loyal online following, as we here at Zimbio learned when Damon and Elena made it to the top four in our TV Couples March Madness Challenge. Last year's rank: 62






45. David Bowie & Iman
David Bowie and Iman have celebrated more anniversaries than any other stars on this list. They're about to toast to 20 years! The model-turned-designer described her gorgeous wedding gown as "something that would outlast anything," and it seems that her eloquent description applies to their relationship as well. While we're all about love and longevity, the couple dropped on our list considerably. Why? Well, they've all but fallen out of the headlines. Plus, no one seems to think poor Mr. Bowie is very hot anymore. The 65-year-old rocker was ranked third from the bottom by our readers. Last year's rank: 12






46. Catherine Zeta-Jones & Michael Douglas
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have weathered all kinds of storms together: his cancer, her bipolar disorder, his imprisoned son, her scary stalker, and their 25-year age gap. After a decade, their relationship seems bulletproof. The couple scored a perfect 20 in Staying Power, but a very quiet year on the career and popularity fronts has knocked them down a few spots. Last year's rank: 36





47. Katherine Heigl & Josh Kelley
Katherine Heigl left Grey's Anatomy in 2010 to focus on motherhood and her film career. While she seems to be an excellent mom to adopted daughter Naleigh, her big screen endeavors haven't exactly been home runs. Both New Year's Eve and One for the Money flopped in 2011. However, her next role in The Wedding, alongside heavy hitters like Diane Keaton and Robert DeNiro, will hopefully get her going in the right direction. Heigl's rocker husband, Josh Kelley, attempted to break into the country scene in 2011 (his brother is a member of Lady Antebellum) and met with mild success. Last year's rank: 75






48. Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz
Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz could line their baby Egypt's nursery with Grammys. The songstress has a whopping 14, while her DJ/rapper/producer husband won his first at this year's big show. He's now at work on a new album that will feature some of music's biggest stars. Ms. Keys, on the other hand, seems to be taking a small break from recording new music in favor of branching out in her career. She re-released Song in A-Minor for its 10th anniversary, but her biggest achievements over the last year include co-producing a musical, making her directorial debut with a series of short films, and being asked to sing at Whitney Houston's funeral. Last year's rank: 20






49. Matthew McConaughey & Camila Alves
We never thought Matthew McConaughey and his abs would walk down the aisle, but it's happening! That's the plan, at least. The actor popped the question to the mother of his two adorable children, Camila Alves, over the holidays. They're reportedly planning a big wedding in Brazil, but are getting settled back in Texas first. The actor explained that they've decided to split their time between L.A. and his home state for some exposure to "family values, neighbors and common sense." Speaking of exposure, McConaughey will be showing quite a lot when he plays a male stripper in this year's Magic Mike. Last year's rank: 57






50. Miranda Lambert & Blake Shelton
Country's second hottest couple, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, have been tearing up the charts and the small screen alike this past year. With The Voice enjoying a second successful season, Shelton released his sixth studio album (it went gold in its seventh week), and performed with his talented wife at the Super Bowl. In 2011, Lambert reached the top of the Billboard country charts with her cohorts in the Pistol Annies thanks to the group's breakout single, "Hell on Heels." She released her fourth solo album a few months later, and was also featured on the Hunger Games soundtrack, which shot to the top of the charts upon its release. All that and she found time to play a troubled would-be reality star in an episode of Law & Order: SVU. We don't know when they sleep, either. Last year's rank: 58





51. Pink & Carey Hart
Pink and Carey Hart got married in 2006, separated in 2008, got back together in 2009, and welcomed their first child in 2011. The last six years have been a rollercoaster, especially when you factor in the hit songs and touring in between. The new mom is currently working on her sixth album and one day hopes to have a traveling family band. Baby Willow Sage isn't exactly singing or dancing quite yet, and we're not sure if the BMX racer can carry a tune, but we have a feeling the feisty rocker could still pull it off. Last year's rank: 45






52. Ryan Seacrest & Julianne Hough
Has Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough's relationship cooled off? Perhaps. These two were frequently seen together last year, but they've kept their relationship on the DL recently. Maybe they (he) got sick of the spotlight, but our guess is that when Seacrest's not asleep and dreaming up new ways to make money, he's actually putting his plans into action. Who has time for vacations when you've got American Idol, a hit radio show, the Kardashians' shows to produce, and a million red carpet interviews to conduct? What baffles us is how Seacrest has failed to make his gal a huge star. The former Dancing with the Stars pro tried breaking into the country music scene in 2010, but didn't get anywhere. Hough has had a little better luck on the big screen, though. She danced through 2011's Footloose and will hopefully shine alongside Tom Cruise in Rock of Ages. Expect this couple's staying power to go way up if they're still together this time next year. Last year's rank: 52






53. Julia Roberts & Danny Moder
Julia Roberts has walked countless red carpets, but her cameraman husband of 10 years has been her date on no more than two occasions. The couple hasn't quite reached Gwyneth and Chris' anti-photography status, but the Pretty Woman star definitely prefers to keep her family life away from the cameras. On her own, she still seems to enjoy the spotlight, despite lukewarm responses to her latest films. Larry Crowne (also starring Tom Hanks) was so-so, while this year's Mirror Mirror didn't quite live up to the hype. Last year's rank: 33






54. Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi
Ellen DeGeneres is raking in an estimated $45 million each year thanks to the continued popularity of her talk show (now in its ninth season), her record company, and various endorsements (at the moment she's repping JC Penney). As long as she stays friends with Justin Bieber and Sophia Grace, she won't have any trouble staying rich or relevant. As for Portia de Rossi, things are looking up after an extremely slow 2011. She's filming a new TV pilot, The Smart One, and will be starring in the highly anticipated new season of Arrested Development, along with the show's accompanying movie. As for the pair's low Attractiveness score, remember that our readers we're ranking everyone against the likes of Gisele and Miranda Kerr, but if you ask us, we think you're both sizzling, Portia and Ellen! Last year's rank: 32






55. Britney Spears & Jason Trawick
Britney Spears hasn't made many great choices in the dating world since her biggest mistake of all (letting Justin Timberlake go). But she seems to have turned her bad string of dudes around thanks to Jason Trawick. The two got engaged in December and it seems like he's an all right guy. He takes care of her and her career, can stand to be at the same baseball field as Kevin Federline, and genuinely cares for her sons. Plus, he was Spears' right-hand man on her third comeback tour to support her latest album, Femme Fatale. There's talk that she'll join the judges' panel on X Factor next season, but that has yet to be confirmed. If she lands that gig, he cuts his stringy hair, and they actually get married, expect to see these two closer to the top next year. Last year's rank: 21






56. Kate Hudson & Matt Bellamy
Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy are not secretly married, after all. Instead, they're enjoying their son Bingham and keeping a low profile in London these days. Without any known projects in the works, it would seem Hudson has cleared her schedule for kid duty while Bellamy records another Muse album. Between her good looks and his ability to sell millions of albums, the pair are doing quite well for themselves even if it has been a quiet year. Last year's rank: 69







57. Mark Wahlberg & Rhea Durham
Mark Wahlberg is a Hollywood workaholic set to appear in six upcoming movies over the next two years. Meanwhile he's producing four more films, and the HBO critical darling Boardwalk Empire. He hasn't let the busy schedule derail his workout routine. While working on Pain and Gain in Miami, he was spotted playing in the surf with his kids and his beach body proved six packs aren't just for twentysomethings. Luckily, wife Rhea Durham has made most of this possible by putting her modeling career on hold in favor of raising their four kids. These two don't often make headlines, but they seem to prefer it that way. Last year's rank: 44






58. Nick Lachey & Vanessa Minnillo
Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo almost didn't make our list in 2011, but with a new marriage and a baby on the way, they shot up to No. 58. Lachey has been laying low since The Sing-Off was cancelled. He recently dashed hopes of a 98 Degrees reunion, as he's eagerly anticipating daddy duty. Minnillo had guest spots on 30 Rock and Hawaii 5-0 last year, and, who knows, perhaps she'll revive TRL while her man revisits his boy band roots. That, or she'd be great on a reality show about pageants. Last year's rank: 98






59. Jennifer Hudson & David Otunga
Jennifer Hudson and David Otunga have hinted that they'll actually get married in 2012, after a three-year engagement. The singer says she's already personally designed her dress (it's a three-piece "show"). It seems like a great time to finally say "I do," since Hudson appears to be taking some time out from her hectic singing career and releasing her second album in 2011. She has a role in the new Three Stooges movie and she's still a hugely popular Weight Watchers spokesperson. Otunga got back into the ring in a big way with WrestleMania XXVIII this year. He's a man of brain and brawn, so if he ever decides he's done shaving his chest and suplexing bad guys, he can always put that Harvard Law degree to good use and go back to being a lawyer. Last year's rank: 80




60. Kate Moss & Jamie Hince
Kate Moss and Jamie Hince tied the knot in a gorgeous ceremony in July 2011 and have been stylishly flaunting their love around the London party scene since. The odds of them growing old together have thereby increased, but since the Kills rocker has yet to discover the fountain of youth, their Attractiveness score suffered this year. Last year's rank: 72






61. Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom
Say what you will of the Kardashian reality empire, but we have a soft spot for Khloe and her man. They need all the support they can get after a rough start to 2012. Lamar Odom was traded from his beloved Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks and the move took a toll on his game and marriage, if you believe the rumors. Breakup buzz has plagued the pair, although they insist they're doing just fine. Luckily, the couple's reality show has kept them afloat in our Popularity and Success categories. Last year's rank: 42






62. Jon Hamm & Jennifer Westfeldt
This year Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt are making their debut as the 62nd hottest couple on our list. They've been together for 15 years, though they have no plans to marry or have kids. Instead, the pair decided to focus on their dog and awesome careers. He's become one of the most beloved actors on television thanks to Mad Men, while she's a triple threat writer/producer/actor. Somehow these victories haven't translated into search queries. They had the lowest Popularity numbers of all the 100 couples. Last year's rank: N/A






63. Joshua Jackson & Diane Kruger
These jet-setting sweethearts split their time between homes in Vancouver and Paris, and when the weather warms up, you can find them yachting with the likes of Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld. With Fringe ratings flagging in the show's fourth season, it's looking like Jackson might find his schedule opening up for more big screen roles sometime in the near future. Kruger, on the other hand, will be playing Marie Antoinette in Farewell, My Queen this year. And next year she'll play the villainous Seeker in the film adaptation of author Stephenie Meyer's Twilight follow-up, The Host. Jackson and Kruger, who have been seeing each other since 2006, are undoubtedly hot, just don't expect them to get married anytime soon. Last year's rank: 54






64. Nicole Richie & Joel Madden
Joel Madden and Nicole Richie both jumped on the reality TV bandwagon last year. He took a break from Good Charlotte and is currently a judge on the Australian version of The Voice, and she's starring as a mentor alongside Jessica Simpson on Fashion Star. Plus, Richie's clothing lines are still chugging along. It's hard to believe that almost a decade has gone by since she and then-BFF Paris Hilton were herding cattle in Arkansas on The Simple Life. If we awarded points to best career turnaround, they'd go to her. Last year's rank: 79






65. Doutzen Kroes & Sunnery James
Musicians and models naturally gravitate toward one another, so it's no real surprise that Victoria's Secret model Doutzen Kroes ended up marrying Dutch DJ Sunnery James. The stunning pair aren't A-listers yet, but Kroes has a dedicated online following  (as most lingerie-clad Angels do). For his part, James is well known in hip house music circles, and he has no trouble picking up gigs while touring the US and Europe alike. Kroes skipped out on the 2010 VS holiday show -- she was about eight months pregnant at the time -- but was back and sexier than ever in 2011. Last year's rank: N/A






66. Sacha Baron Cohen & Isla Fisher
Sacha Baron Cohen stepped back into the spotlight this year by dumping "ashes" on Ryan Seacrest at the Oscars while dressed as his Dictator character. We can't really decide if it was bad or good press, but the stunt made headlines. His new, undoubtedly controversial, film will be out later this year. It should be a decent career year for Fisher as well. She's starring in The Great Gatsby remake and has a few other flicks in the works. Though their careers are on track, it's this couple's ultra secretive, decade-long relationship that keeps them on our list. Last year's rank: 64






67. Claire Danes & Hugh Dancy
Claire Danes has been making all the right moves in her career. She followed up an award-winning performance in Temple Grandin by picking up the lead role in Showtime's biggest new show, Homeland, and picked up a Golden Globe for her efforts. As for her British husband, he starred in a handful of small artsy movies in 2011, but hasn't become a household name just yet. Perhaps that's all going to change sometime soon thanks to his dashing good looks. He was ranked the eighth hottest man on our list by Zimbio readers! This Attractiveness boost more than made up for his lower marks in the Popularity category. Last year's rank: 77






68. Amy Poehler & Will Arnett
We would love to spend just one evening at Amy Poehler and Will Arnett's NYC home with them, their two young sons, and their dog, Puzzle. The hilarious TV actors have to have as much fun together as we think they do. They're not the hottest or the most popular stars on our list, but after 12 years together and countless career successes, they come in 16 spots higher than in 2011. Expect Poehler to continue her run on Parks and Recreation this year and Arnett to continue bringing the laughs on Up All Night, 30 Rock, and in the upcoming Arrested Development movie and show. Last year's rank: 84






69. Sarah Jessica Parker & Matthew Broderick
By our calculations, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick will never break up. With a perfect Staying Power score, these two are the ultimate Manhattan couple. When they're not walking the red carpet in support of various charities, they're walking their son to school or playing at the park with their adorable twin girls. All of this happy family time seems to have taken a bit of a toll on their careers, however. Both of Broderick's 2011 films (Tower Heist and Margaret) weren't very well received, and he doesn't have any projects in the works yet this year. Parker's 2011 flicks didn't do well, though she could turn it around with her role in the highly anticipated film Lovelace. Last year's rank: 53






70. Lily Aldridge & Caleb Followill
Lily Aldridge and Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill have shared some ups and downs in the last year. They tied the knot in May 2011, then three months later Kings of Leon cancelled a big chunk of its US tour after Caleb was unable to finish a gig in Dallas due to what appeared to be intoxication. Despite her husband's drama, Aldridge had a great year with a British GQ cover, an advertising campaign for Rag & Bone, and a V magazine interview. All this generated buzz for the couple, but the biggest news of all came in December, when the couple announced her pregnancy. Last year's rank: 88






71. Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos
Mark Consuelos hasn't starred in much of anything memorable since All My Children back in the '90s, while wife of 16 years, Kelly Ripa, has been hosting the same daytime talk show for over a decade. Let's just say their careers, though consistent, aren't exactly exciting or dynamic. However, their stability and hotness combined to keep them chugging along on our list this year. Last year's rank: 51






72. Hilary Duff & Mike Comrie
Hilary Duff and her hockey star hubby Mike Comrie surprised us all with her pregnancy announcement back in August, on their first wedding anniversary. The 24-year-old went on to make headlines through her very public pregnancy and showed off picture after picture of her baby boy, Luca, upon his arrival in March. This, of course, became convenient groundwork for the singer's jump back into music. In January, Duff announced she's back in the studio recording her first album in five years. Comrie, on the other hand, announced his retirement from hockey due to a recurring hip injury. Just call him Mr. Mom. Last year's rank: 57





73. Adele & Simon Konecki
Adele had an outstanding year filled with Grammys, chart-topping songs, and enough broken Billboard records to make Mariah Carey shake in her stilettos. Not even throat surgery could stop this British songstress. This year also brought her love in the form of a bearded man named Simon Konecki. He co-founded a bottled water company and charity in the UK, but now he's better known as Adele's Grammy date. It's a start! Last year's rank: N/A






74. Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson
We were a little skeptical when ex-NFL star Eric Johnson popped the question to Jessica Simpson just a week after her ex, Nick Lachey, proposed to Vanessa Minnillo. But over the last year, the blondes have proven their love. And by "proven," we mean they've been acting lovey dovey all over L.A., especially now that Simpson is about to give birth to what appears to be a 20-pound child. The baby news boosted their Staying Power and Simpson's relentless TMI quotes about her pregnancy have definitely amped the couple's Popularity score, for better or worse. We're now waiting to see if Simpson one-ups her sister and names her daughter something stranger than Bronx Mowgli. Last year's rank: 59






75. Ice-T & Coco
Ice-T put out his first studio album in 1987. Yep, that's 25 years ago. Who would've thought the guy who brought us "Cop Killer" would wind up with his own reality TV show and a role on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, at the age of 54? While the jack of all trades is clearly keeping busy, his curvaceous wife has been cultivating a loyal fan following online. She posted the third-highest popularity numbers of any woman on our list, right behind Selena Gomez and Adele. We attribute this largely to her "Thong Thursday" pictures on Twitter. Last year's rank: 60






76. Madonna & Brahim Zaibat
We don't know much about Madonna's relationship with her boy toy backup dancer Brahim Zaibat, other than the fact she dresses like she's his age (she's 53, he's 24). The pop star, whose last boyfriend was 23 years younger and barely spoke English, has yet to bring her man to a red carpet event, but we're waiting. She dodged questions about engagement rumors earlier in the year, and while we certainly give low odds to the idea that there will be a third Mr. Madonna, these two made our list thanks to the singer's big 2011. She performed the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in history, put out her 12th album, announced a world tour, and reinvented herself as a sexy pop star for the zillionth time. Seriously, her new video is NSFW. Zaibat is doing a fantastic job of going along for the ride. Last year's rank: N/A






77. Kristin Cavallari & Jay Cutler
We didn't expect for Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler to make our list this year, after they announced the end of their engagement over the summer. Things turned around fast, though. Now they're not only re-engaged, they're expecting! The former reality TV star and quarterback broke the baby news in January and will become parents in the fall. Cutler will be busy with the Chicago Bears by the time he becomes a father, but that shouldn't be a problem considering Cavallari hasn't worked much since her Dancing with the Stars stint in 2011. Last year's rank: 87






78. Anna Paquin & Stephen Moyer
Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer aren't together on their hit show True Blood anymore, but in real life they're about to celebrate their second wedding anniversary and are expecting a baby! They met on the set of the HBO vampire drama in 2007 and married on a beach in Malibu in 2010. They've mostly kept their personal lives out of the public eye, but they light up the red carpet every time they do venture out together. Last year's rank: 76






79. Sarah Michelle Gellar & Freddie Prinze Jr.
You might say Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar are past their prime — you know, the days of She's All That and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's true, they're not as popular as they once were, but we like to think they've just re-prioritized. The couple seems to be putting 2-year-old daughter, Charlotte, in front of their career prospects. However, Gellar has been paying the bills with her $100,000-per-episode salary from TV's Ringer, while Mr. Prinze Jr. is reportedly working on a pilot. Last year's rank: 73






80. Rebecca Romijn & Jerry O'Connell
Good looks and a healthy relationship helped lift Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell five spots from last year. The happy couple has been busy with twin girls Dolly and Charlie, but nothing too exciting is happening on the work front. O'Connell has been doing a voice on a G.I. Joe cartoon since his show, The Defenders, was cancelled. Romijn has a couple movies in the works but hasn't had a stable gig since her run on Eastwick a few years back. Last year's rank: 85






81. Salma Hayek & Francois-Henri Pinault
Salma Hayek has something no one else on our list does: a billionaire husband. The stunning actress is married to Francois-Henri Pinault, a French businessman who stands to inherit luxury brands like Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. Hayek could never make another penny she'd still be set for life, but the actress shows no signs of quitting the biz. Puss in Boots was a hit at the box office in 2011 and she has three films slated for this year. The couple also seems to be solid despite the recent news that Pinault fathered Linda Evangelista's baby back in 2007, less than a year before he welcomed a daughter with Hayek. Last year's rank: 30






82. Alyson Hannigan & Alexis Denisof
If Alyson Hannigan still worries about being remembered solely as the band camp girl in American Pie, you wouldn't know it. She recently reprised the role for this year's American Reunion though she'd be perfectly comfortable coasting on her paycheck from How I Met Your Mother. Hannigan's career is in a good place and so is her personal life. She and husband Alexis Denisof can often be found strolling the streets of L.A. with their darling daughter, Satyana. The world will definitely be a cuter place when they welcome their second child later this year. Last year's rank: 89






83. Marion Cotillard & Guillaume Canet
French actor Guillaume Canet divorced Diane Kruger in 2006 before falling for his Love Me If You Dare co-star Marion Cotillard the next year. The French couple, who welcomed son Marcel in May, have since kept their relationship away from the spotlight, refusing to comment on it in interviews. Perhaps they'll get over being camera shy in time for Cotillard to promote her role in Dark Knight Rises later this year. Last year's rank: 56






84. Bruce Willis & Emma Heming
Bruce Willis just welcomed his fourth daughter, his first child with wife Emma Heming. The 57-year-old prolific papa will probably earn a few more wrinkles in going through parenthood all over again, but he'll have no trouble paying for diapers thanks to the seven films he has in the works in 2012. Among them is The Expendables 2, which has the potential to be a box office home run after the surprise success of the first movie. As for the new mom, she's rumored to be joining the upcoming season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It's a gamble. Last year's rank: 48






85. Emily Blunt & John Krasinski
After nearly being too scared to say "hi" to her the first time they met, John Krasinski took Emily Blunt to a shooting range for their first date in 2008. A year later, they were engaged. The couple tied the knot in 2010 and have since been training to become parents by spoiling their dog, Finn. Krasinski has had a solid seven-year run with The Office and looks to be switching to movies now that the show's future is in question. Blunt has a promising year ahead of her with four films in the works, and is even learning to golf for her flick Arthur Newman, Golf Pro. A Success boost and corresponding Popularity bump would put this adorable duo in a prime position next year. Last year's rank: 63






86. Mick Jagger & L'Wren Scott
The Rolling Stones won't go on the road to celebrate their 50th anniversary, but Mick Jagger was in the news a tiny bit this year thanks to the formation of his new supergroup, SuperHeavy. Oh and that horribly catchy Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine song, "Moves Like Jagger," got everybody talking about him again. Otherwise, he's just hanging out with his estimated $300 million fortune and his succesful, 6-foot-3-inch girlfriend of nine years. Designer L'Wren Scott's career is in full swing. The 45-year-old launched a handbag collection in 2011 and also designed three of Oprah Winfrey's outfits for her final talk show appearances. As for their low Attractiveness score, it looks like his aging looks may have cancelled out her beauty. Last year's rank: 71






87. Alex Rodriguez & Torrie Wilson
What do A-Rod and George Clooney have in common? Other than their dashing good looks, they're both dating former wrestlers! The Yankees star stepped out with ex-WWE hottie Torrie Wilson over the holidays. Since then, they've been spotted courtside at Lakers games and chipping away at the slugger's fortune while on vacations to Mexico. We give the relationship low odds of lasting through the year, though we at least expect Ms. Wilson to be front and center at a few of her man's ball games this season. Last year's rank: N/A






88. Bryce Dallas Howard & Seth Gabel
You may not know Bryce Dallas Howard by name, but you'd certainly recognize her from her roles in Spider-Man 3, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and, most recently, the Oscar-winning flick, The Help. Oh, and she's Ron Howard's daughter. The under-the-radar actress has taken some time off from acting to take care of her new baby, but her husband, Seth Gabel, can be seen on the small screen in Fringe. Last year's rank: N/A






89. Maggie Gyllenhaal & Peter Sarsgaard
Maggie Gyllenhaal met husband Peter Sarsgaard though her actor brother Jake back in 2002. They tied the knot in 2006 and are about to welcome their second baby. The actress will probably give acting a break in the coming months, but expect her husband to have a win with Lovelace. Last year's rank: 93






90. Sofia Coppola & Thomas Mars
Director/model/actress Sofia Coppola met Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars when he produced the soundtrack for her film, The Virgin Suicides, in 2005. They began dating, had two kids, then got married in 2011. A little backwards from the norm, but the pair seem to enjoy doing things the unconventional way. They reside in Paris and stay out of the spotlight, which is nice for family life, though it didn't help their Popularity score. Perhaps Coppola's upcoming Bling Ring flick will be just what they need to help them climb the charts. Last year's rank: N/A






91. Amy Adams & Darren LeGallo
Amy Adams melted our hearts in the family-friendly Muppets movie in late 2011, and she'll undoubtedly win the love of comic book fans everywhere with her upcoming role as Lois Lane in Man of Steel. The actress has done a great job of juggling motherhood while still maintaining a solid film career since she and Darren LeGallo welcomed a daughter in 2010. The couple waited almost a decade to start a family (they met in an acting class in 2001), and have yet to tie the knot after getting engaged nearly four years ago. But they seem to be perfectly content with the way things are. Last year's rank: 47






92. Christina Aguilera & Matt Rutler
No one took Christina Aguilera and Matt Rutler's relationship seriously back when they started dating in November 2010, shortly after the singer's divorce. But here they are more than a year later. We're happy to report they've mellowed out since that wild, headline-making night when they first got together. The couple has largely traded clubbing for cute outings at the park with the singer's son, Max. Has the production assistant changed the singer for the best? Perhaps. With a new album in the works and the second season of The Voice in full swing, Aguilera is on her way to a great year. If the pair stays together and Rutler gets some sort of job in the public eye, we see a bright future for them. Last year's rank: N/A






93. Drew Barrymore & Will Kopelman
The year is off to a big start for Drew Barrymore. She announced her engagement to art consultant Will Kopelman and months later was seen around Hollywood sporting a growing belly. The pair have yet to confirm the pregnancy, though it's pretty obvious at this point. The excitement in her personal life helps ease what was a slightly disastrous career year for the actress. Big Miracle flopped and the Charlie's Angels TV show, which she produced, went under after just a few episodes. Kopelman, though, picked out art for Robert Pattinson once upon a time, so the couple got a slight bump in the Success category. Last year's rank: N/A






94. AnnaLynne McCord & Dominic Purcell
He's 42 years old and built like The Hulk, and she's 24 and loves running around in a bikini on the 90210 set. Somehow AnnaLynne McCord and Dominic Purcell are oddly perfect for each other. We give them low odds of staying together, but stranger things have happened in Hollywood... like Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchinson. Last year's rank: N/A






95. Jennifer Lawrence & Nicholas Hoult
Jennifer Lawrence is well on her way to becoming an A-lister. She was nominated for an Oscar in 2010, scored a role in X-Men: First Class in 2011, and topped it all off with the lead in the lucrative Hunger Games franchise this year. The up-and-coming actress fell for X-Men co-star, Nicholas Hoult, but the couple has yet to hit the red carpet together. That didn't stop the British actor from showing up at his gal's house the morning she learned of her Oscar nomination, though. Now we know Lawrence can handle herself against a pack of murderous teenagers, but we'll have to wait and see if she can keep a relationship alive under the watchful eye of the Capitol paparazzi. Last year's rank: N/A






96. LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian
LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian are no longer No. 100 on our list. What helped lift them from last? Well, the singer finally reached a healthy weight and she's set to release her 14th album in the fall. The Playboy Club tanked after seven episodes, leaving Cibrian without a steady paycheck, but luckily his wife is worth $40 million and could probably get donations from her loyal Twitter followers if things really went south. Last year's rank: 100






97. Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott
If Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott make headlines these days, it has to do with their rapidly growing family. They seem to be off the reality TV circuit (for now), but recently announced they're expecting their fourth baby, just months after Spelling gave birth to daughter Hattie. While their baby-making skills are commendable, we'd love to see these two make a buck elsewhere. Last year's rank: 95






98. Kendra Wilkinson & Hank Baskett
Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett took a tumble from the 39th spot on our list down to second from the bottom. While the reality star and former NFLer have beaten scads of breakup rumors, the decline in their Success score is what really hurt their numbers this year. Baskett hasn't played ball for over a year and Wilkinson may or may not be back for another season of her reality show. We'll just have to wait and see. Last year's rank: 39






99. Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard
Will there ever be wedding bells for Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard? Maybe not. They got engaged two years ago and the blonde says the ring on her finger is all that matters. That said, she claims when they have kids it will be their "gift to America." They're not the most popular or most successful stars on our list, but the quirky couple's awesome sense of humor—and new TV gigs—have kept them afloat. Last year's rank: 61






100. Snooki & Jionni LaValle
Snooki and Jionni's engagement/baby announcement set jaws to dropping and eyes to rolling, but the news gave them just the juice they needed to crack this year's list.
