Two of the sexiest men alive are best friends. Surely actors Brad Pitt and George Clooney met each other before; they ran in the same circles. But it wasn’t until the comedy heist film, ‘Ocean’s Eleven,’ where they actually hit it off.
They continued building their friendship, making two more Ocean’s films (Ocean’s Twelve, Thirteen) and co-created a charity in Darfur.
Beyoncé Knowles and Kelly Rowland

They grew up together in Houston, Texas and were the founding and leading members of the R&B group, Destiny’s Child. They are practically sisters. And at one point in time, that’s what people assumed after rumors flew that Beyoncé’s father, Matthew Knowles, also fathered Kelly.
Although those rumors eventually died, their friendship didn’t.
Each went on to make solo albums and have successful careers, but not without the backlash of fans and gossipers saying Beyoncé was stealing the spotlight.
Through it all, they have held on to their sisterly bond and continue to support each other and their music.

Actresses Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning co-starred in the 'Twilight' Saga movies and 'Runaways,' becoming fast friends.
When they're not attending fashion shows like Chanel, they're doing shopping runs at Target or cracking jokes on TV shows like Duck Dynasty. Basically, their friendship is normal.
“Certainly there times it’s crazy, but we’re also just friends,” said Dakota in an interview with USA Today.
Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake
Their bromance began in 2002 at the MTV Video Music Awards, when Justin Timberlake tore away from his former pop boy band, N’Sync, and emerged as a solo act. Jimmy Fallon was still an active member of comedy sketch show, Saturday Night Live . Soon after, Timberlake would host and guest on the show, pairing up with Fallon for the hilarious sketch, The Barry Gibb Talk Show.
Their stardom grew as Fallon left SNL to have his own late-night show, with the likes of Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien. Timberlake continued to produce hit songs and records, and moved into other areas of entertainment such as acting.
Timberlake stopped by as a guest several times on Fallon’s talk-night show, where they performed several memorable skits, like the Evolution of End Zone dancing, and the fun mash-up of classic and current hip-hop songs, The History of Rap. They have performed five mixes so far. We’re waiting on History of Rap, Part 6.

Pop artists Rihanna and Katy Perry: the wild girls in the bunch. Their flair, fashion, and music attracted notorious bad boys (Chris Brown, John Mayer) but also started a budding friendship, obviously.
They’re usually seated next to each other at the awards shows too, like Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez. But you won’t see them acting like fans at a concert. They’re too busy laughing and cracking jokes.
