Have You Paid Attention to Hollywood's Longest Marriages(Party One)

Hollywood's Longest Marriages
Celebrity flames often burn out, but these famous marriages are still going strong — sometime after decades together!

1. Mark Consuelos & Kelly Ripa: Since 1995
This co-star couple met while working on All My Children in 1995, then eloped a year later. Kelly and Mark have three children — Michael, Lola, and Joaquin — and still seem to be very much in love. In 2010 the talk show hostess even got a tattoo of her hubby's last name on her wrist.

2. Will & Jada Pinkett Smith: Since 1997
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have been married since 1997 and have raised two new little stars. Their kids, Willow and Jaden, have already made a name for themselves in Hollywood, and we can't get enough of this famous fam on the red carpet.

3. Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson: Since 1988
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson met on the set of his show Bossom Buddies in 1981, but they didn't fall in love until they worked on the film Volunteers together four years later. They married in 1988, and have been enjoying wedded bliss ever since. "I've got the greatest wife in the world. We laugh all day long — except when we fight," Tom once joked.

4. Antonio Banderas & Melanie Griffith: Since 1996
There have been plenty of highs and lows for this red carpet couple since they wed in 1996, but they seem more in love than ever these days. "She helps me get past problems, including the most serious problems that we've had, and she's had. We've got nothing to hide," Antonio Banderas said in 2010 after Melanie checked herself into rehab for substance abuse problems. Marriage can be tough, but these two are always there for each other.

5. Ozzy & Sharon Osbourne: Since 1982
It takes one special lady to put up with Ozzy Osbourne around the clock, and Sharon is her name. These two met when she was 18, and got hitched years later in 1982. Since then they've been through more ups and downs than most couples could probably endure (including son Jack's recent MS diagnosis), but somehow they always come out on top.

6. Tim McGraw & Faith Hill: Since 1996
This country couple started off with a scandal: Faith Hill called off her engagement to another man to be with Tim McGraw while they were touring together in 1996. They married that same year, and have had three daughters and mega-success on the charts since. They've toured together and generally been inseparable for the last 16 years.

7. Meryl Streep & Don Gummer: Since 1978
Meryl Streep and her man, a sculptor, have been hitched since 1978 and still walk hand-in-hand on the red carpet. After 34 years it still looks like young, head-over-heels love to us. In recent years, Meryl and Don have been able to celebrate the success of their daughters, Mamie Gummer and Grace Gummer, who have both gone into acting.

8. Kevin Kline & Phoebe Cates: Since 1989
Kevin Kline might be 16 years older than his Fast Times at Ridgemont High star wife, Phoebe Cates, but that doesn't get in the way of their relationship. They were married in 1989 and have two children.

9. John Travolta & Kelly Preston: Since 1991
John Travolta and Kelly Preston met while filming The Experts in 1987 and were married in 1991. In 2009 they endured the tragic loss of their eldest son, Jett, during a family vacation in the Bahamas. Just over a year later, Kelly welcomed a new addition to the Travolta-Preston family: a healthy baby boy named Benjamin.

10. Kevin Bacon & Kyra Sedwick: Since 1988
Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedwick met on set back in the '80s, and tied the knot in 1988. They've appeared in plenty of flicks together and seem to be able to mix work and their relationship quite well. "To me, marriage is about committing yourself to one person. In my opinion, I got the hottest babe there is; I would never do anything to jeopardize that," Bacon once said in a Cosmo interview.

Do You Know That Stars Who Passed on Huge Roles

Stars Who Passed on Huge Roles
Lindsay Lohan turned down 'The Hangover'? Will Smith passed on playing Neo? It sounds impossible to believe. But really, it's the truth.

Can't Win Them All
They say hindsight is 20/20. But even a blind Ewan McGregor could tell you passing on the opportunity to play Neo in The Matrix was a mistake. But if it makes the Scottish actor feel better, he's not alone. Will Smith also opted out of that now iconic part. And those are just two of the many Hollywood stars who have missed out on blockbuster roles.

Matt Damon - 'Avatar'
Between filming The Bourne Ultimatum and The Green Zone, Matt Damon couldn't find the time to squeeze in a little film called Avatar. According to WENN, the actor was courted by director James Cameron, but ultimately had to watch from home as the sci-fi flick grossed over $1 billion worldwide.

Will Smith - 'The Matrix'
You'd think passing on one of the most iconic film roles in the last 20 years would leave you upset. But when you're as famous as Will Smith, you can afford to miss these types of opportunities. Besides, as the actor said: "I just didn’t see it. I watched Keanu's performance – and very rarely do I say this – but I would have messed it up." So there you have it.

Ewan McGregor - 'The Matrix'
Always wished Neo had a Scottish accent? Well, there were once rumors Ewan McGregor was meant to star in the film, rather than Keanu Reeves. Only, the Scotsman completely denied the story to Playboy magazine back in 2005, saying: "I didn't turn down The Matrix -- not to my knowledge, anyway. F---ing people will hang if I did."

Sean Connery - 'The Lord of the Rings' Trilogy
According to CNN, the actor's decision to pass on the role as Gandolf reportedly cost the guy $400 million! No, the producers weren't ready to pay him that salary. Rather, they offered Sean Connery up to 15 percent of the worldwide box office receipts to play the part -- and as you may recall, the movies sort of did well.

Kevin Costner - 'Kill Bill'
Kevin Costner has starred in many fantastic films, including Dances with Wolves and Field of Dreams. He's also responsible for the disaster known as Waterworld. And if he hadn't passed on the role of Bill, you could have seen the actor in Quentin Tarantino's arthouse film, Kill Bill. Instead, Costner opted out, allowing David Carradine to take the part.

Mel Gibson - 'Gladiator'
He's not the most popular star in Hollywood, but Mel Gibson can certainly act. His performance in Braveheart helped the film win an Oscar for Best Picture in 1995. Yet, despite his success making epic historical dramas, the actor turned down the lead role in Gladiator. Seeing as Russel Crowe would go on to take the part and score an Academy Award for his efforts, we imagine Gibson regrets his decision.

Sarah Michelle Gellar - 'Clueless'
Most people remember Sarah Michelle Gellar for her role as Buffy on the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But if the actress had played her cards right, she could have starred as Cher Horowitz in Clueless. Ultimately, scheduling conflicts prevented Gellar from taking the part, allowing Alicia Silverstone to make movie magic.

John Travolta - 'Forrest Gump'
Picture any actor not named Tom Hanks playing the lead in Forrest Gump. Now try and imagine John Travolta sitting on a park bench, telling the world "life is like a box of chocolates." Yeah, we have no idea who thought that would ever work. The actor has since admitted he made a mistake turning down the iconic part. But in this case, we think he made the right choice.

Chevy Chase - 'Forrest Gump'
We loved Chevy Chase in Caddy Shack. And we've fully embraced him on the NBC series Community. But like John Travolta, we're glad he turned down the role of Forrest in Forrest Gump. Nothing against the guy, but it's tough to imagine Clark Griswold delivering the same emotional performance Tom Hanks gave us.

Tom Hanks - 'Jerry Maguire'
Just because Tom Hanks fit perfectly into the role of Forrest Gump, doesn't mean he could play any part. And the Oscar-winning actor knows this better than anyone. When asked to comment on his decision to pass on starring in Jerry Maguire, Hanks had this to say: "I think you look at it now and it couldn't have been anybody other than Tom Cruise."

Lindsay Lohan - 'The Hangover'
Lindsay Lohan has made a lot of regrettable decisions in her life. But in terms of career choices, her biggest blunder may have come in 2009, when she reportedly passed on the summer blockbuster, The Hangover. As Us magazine reported at the time, the actress allegedly turned down the part of stripper Jade (a role Heather Graham ended up playing).

Julia Roberts - 'The Blind Side'
After landing her role in 2009's The Blind Side, Sandra Bullock went on to win an Oscar, SAG Award, and a Golden Globe for Best Actress. A year later, Forbes named her the highest-paid female star in Hollywood. But none of this would have happened if the woman initially slated for the part, Julia Roberts, hadn't passed on the film.
