When Stars Mate: The Methodology

When you're a fully-fledged celebrity, doing nothing in your spare time but appearing on talk shows and soaking up free champagne at movie premieres, it stands to reason that the only people you ever meet are other celebrities. Hence: The All-Celebrity Hook-up, which very often makes a successful transition to The All-Celebrity Relationship.

The problem is, if you're a celebrity, the odds are that your worth, and that of your mate's, will never be evenly matched. Therefore, when you meet and fall in love with another celebrity, either your worth, or that of your mate, will necessarily go down.

When Stars Mate is a service of Fametracker for celebrities dating, or married to, other celebrities. Fametracker will use this space to determine who in current celeb/celeb pairings has gained by the relationship, who has lost, and how the balance of power could be altered.

Calista Flockhart has spent most of her life as a famous person in being a lightning rod -- first, for all the controversy generated by Ally McBeal as it reportedly set back the cause of feminism by decades, and then for being the patron saint of Hollywood lollipops. As a result, she has barely had a chance to make a name for herself as anything other than Ally; all her non-Ally news and roles are really...well, dull. If Flockhart's plan is to marry Ford and join Kate Capshaw and Rita Wilson and Téa Leoni in the sorority of dilettante-actress Hollywood wives, more power to her. As it is, Flockhart's dating way above her station by latching on to the Sun in the Galaxy of Fame. Who is famous enough to date Harrison Ford? Hey, didn't we hear that Jennifer Lopez is single now...?
