When Icons Collide

Judy and Barbra.

Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart are a pretty weird combination.

Elvis and Ali

I'll see your Judy and Barbra--and raise you an Ethel.

Streisand and Oprah.

Prince and Beyoncé.

Whitney & Mariah

Who wore it better?

When Marilyn met Judy.

Bette & Mae

King Kong and Fay Wray

These two...

probably only Elvis and Ali can match OP's selection so far...

Oil and water...

Old friends...

Look at the body language.

^ Lol, I would think Diana would like him

Say what you want, but Diana was a beauty. Not conventionally so, but WOW. Just a stunning woman.

No, I wouldn't expect her like a man as misogynistic and OLD as Clint Eastwood, R17.

* to like a man as misogynistic and OLD as....

Clint was still sex on a stick in the 1980s.

Speaking of Diana, this is the only photo I could ever find of the two "It" Princesses of their day together. I always imagined Caroline must have been glad when Diana came along and took the publicity glare off her. In the end, Caroline was the tougher and stabler of the two.

Fuck off old moron @ R20. Diana was in her twenties and Eastwood was in his 50s. She didn't go for old men who also beat women and were known assholes.

Mandela said to Liz - You've lost some weight! Ha.

Eastwood was gross.

R22 is Evelyn Draper.

Two Queens...

Here's my hotel room and phone numbah!

I had to google that name R24. Your references are so... ancient. What is play Misty for Me and what has a 60 year old movie got to do with the FACT that Diana had the good sense to find Eastwood offensive - over 35 years ago? I was born in 1983. Diana wore that dress to dance with John Travolta is the MEME in my mind. It was at the White House obviously. Diana in that dress is more famous than either of the men.

Caption this?

DL Royalty

What's funny about childish ignoramus R27's iconic photo is, most of the guests aren't even looking at Diana and Travolta.

Rosalynn Carter and John Wayne Gacy

You're blocked now Gramps. Put the bottle down. This is a fun thread. You're wrong about everything. As usual.

The *real* DL Feud...

@r27, Do you think you could find a bigger stick to cram up your ass? Give it a rest you drunken snot

Wow, I really thought Loni Anderson had bigger tits than that. She looks positively A cup there, especially next to the voluptuous Lynda Carter.

Michael Jackson and Madonna

Mariah and James Brown

Three way!

Another three-way

Did Elton wear his glasses upside down or was that really a style? I could see him flipping them upside down because he liked to stand out.

There was another guest belter on that episode of the Judy Garland show. I love how 21-year-old Barbra seemed to take it all in her stride.

Some of these people met too often to call it icons colliding. Madonna was all over Michael Jackson for a few years. Mariah and Whitney became friends too. All are ICONS for sure, but it's the rarity of the meeting or the strangeness of the coupling that makes it iconic. ❤

Bette Midler and Tom Waits

winner chicken dinner

Bing and Bowie

3 Spider-Man stars whose sexuality will be insufferably debated.

Michael Jackson took Jackie Onassis to Disneyland when she came to LA to edit his book. When she came back home, she kept telling people that she didn’t know if he liked “boys or girls.”

Good one, R45.

Jackie thought fags were only for doing hair. There was nothing cool or progressive about Kennedy but her fashion.

Evelyn Draper & Clint Eastwood was a very clever reference! Play Misty For Me is a fantastic movie. Clint Eastwood played an all night Disc Jockey in Carmel. Every night Evelyn Draper (Jessica Walter) would call in to ask Clint to dedicate the Famous Johnny Mathis song for her - “Play Misty For Me.” ….. Jessica Walter as Evelyn Draper played the scariest (sometimes funny) crazed obsessed stalker that would have made Glenn Close look like a Girl Scout. Young beautiful Donna Mills played Clint’s girlfriend - Jessica stalks her,too. Roberta Flack’s “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” was from that movie. The most cringe inducing scene was Jessica Walter bringing Clint groceries so she could cook him dinner.

None of that noise has anything to do with why Princess Diana looked so unhappy to dance with old creep Eastwood, R50.

Here's an unusual image by the great rock photographer Henry Diltz: Elton John dining with David Cassidy in New Zealand, 1974. Despite his bubblegum image (which he despised), David seemed to be well liked in musician circles.

Amelia Earhart got to meet a lot of celebrities and the photos are always weird.

After meeting Michael Jackson, Diana made jokes about his appearance to her domestic staff.

Elizabeth Taylor and Princess Margaret. Before they became fat pigs, they would vie for male attention at whatever function they were both present.

Who wouldn't, R54? Jackson was PS freak, even in the 80s. And he was the worst dressed pop star of all time.

One of my favorite collisions, hilarious.

The late greats. Pavarotti and Brown.

Guitar Icons Gig: Clapton, Mayer, Winter, Guy, Cray, Sumlin, Vaughn

Music Icons Gig: Clapton, Winwood, Beck, Watts, Cooper

Singing Icons Strutting Their Stuff: Tina and Mick

Madonna's interview crashed by Courtney Love

Tina Turner opened for the Rolling Stones for years with Ike. Once again, her time with Mick that you post is hardly a collision. Tina taught Mick Jagger how to Pony. And a bit more.....they know each other well.

I have never had this thought in my life. But in the Diana /Jackson cliff. Something kinda attractive about Jackson’s mannerisms. He’s an odd person but he has an endearing confidence from his body language. 🤷‍♂️

R63 "Collide is subjective" It's a matter of interpretation.

You're right R65. So, I will leave this thread now because it will continue to be unimaginative posts of singers from the 80s performing together or Bette and Joan on the set of Baby Jane. The DL special.

Carry on, ancient white gays!

Xactly. Why come up with a fun photo premise that challenges us - only to ruin it with the same OLD shit?

[quote] Carry on, ancient white gays

[quote] Jackie thought fags were only for doing hair.

Whelp, that's two racists/bigots gone!

Huh...

Whelp? Who says that. Like that.

And if you think that Jackie O didn't refer to y'all and all y'all as fags - you're delusional. Did she guide you through your grief in 1963 when you were only 24? Why not post a picture of the collision between Jackie Kennedy and Ethel Kennedy? OH! Get on it R68.

No one understands a RACIST better than you.

A young George Michael with Freddie Mercury, towards the end of his life

R70 Looking for attention BIGOT?? Whelp, here it is. Attention!

Whelp. What does this word mean? Is it from the 70s bathhouse gloryhole times?

*Clap*, *clap*, girls, girls, you're both old, now settle down

Fun thread! Elvis Presley had a very awkward meeting with the Beatles; they didn’t know what to say to each other.

They were friends until Jacques de Bascher, but still...

@r75, Elvis would have been a Trumper loon, no doubt...

Diana / Travolta

Wonder if she knew he was gay at that point. I dont think the general public had a clue yet.

John Lennon signs his autograph for Mark David Chapman...

@r78, "Wonder if she knew he was gay at that point."

No doubt Elton John told her

I always liked this picture of Diana comforting Elton John, but I bet it gave the Royals the vapors...

For a short time in the 1960s, Gypsy Rose Lee had a tv talk show. In 1967, Andy Warhol was a guest!!!!???!!! Also on that episode was Richard Deacon.

Liz Taylor meets Jackie O

This Bromance.

Collide, indeed.

And this other Bromance.

The cover of Icons colliding.

R13, how about the Beatles meeting Ali?

Larry Grayson v Emu

Jackie Onassis close friends with Carly Simon, Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor,

Diana Ross and Groucho Marx

^ Solid Gold Dancers

Yawn, R70 needs to quit stinking up this thread with her grievance. It's so....2020. Everyone's bored with it.

R79 has to win the prize.

Loni had a breast reduction, r35.

Nobody "won" until this.

MJ talking about Diana

....

^ Diana's thinking, "Are there ANY straight guys at this clam bake?"

When Princess Diana was photographed with Mother (Saint now) Teresa. The physical differences were striking. The ways each woman lived. The way each of them worked to help people in need. I remember the Diana was wearing a white suit dress and white pumps. Very tall lady, even without pumps on her feet. And Mother Tereasa was so small. Both powerful and very famous women. Both gone now.

[quote] On 7 June 1926 Gaudí had been struck down by a tram at the intersection of Barcelona’s Carrer de Bailén and the Gran Via. Taxi drivers refused to take a man they mistook for a beggar to the city hospital. Local people took the wafer thin and ragged old man to the pauper’s hospital instead. When he was discovered there, Gaudí refused to be moved. “My place is here”, he said. Thousands lined the streets for his funeral.

whoops, wrong thread - there are some icons in the article kind of sort of colliding though!

R41, good one!

Lu and Tallu

I love this one

[quote]Michael Jackson took Jackie Onassis to Disneyland when she came to LA to edit his book. When she came back home, she kept telling people that she didn’t know if he liked “boys or girls.”

That, and how they didn't have a dented can discount at Mayfair Market in West Hollywood.

Whoops, thought I was in the Random Things You Wonder thread.

Interesting duet

The Op's link shows Princess Di looking like 1920s Gladys Cooper.

Nice hair but thrusting jaw and thin lips.

^ They're both great looking R113! Whoever that woman is.

Diana was not some bimbo disaster. She was into looking after her body in healthy ways. She was fit and sporty. The gym, always. Good skincare and hair. Glamorous when she wanted to be. She was tall and striking and lovely. Well bred, and when not trapped by protocol - always well dressed. She wasn't some pillow lipped actress or model.

Gary Coleman and ex wife?

*3* GIRLS *3*

That’s not Kate Smith, it’s Rod Steiger.

Mass collision.

Mick and David The Dockside Doilies.

R118 Mary, Mary, Mary!

Wayne Newton & Brook Shields

Paramount's 50th Anniversary Photo - A DL Staple

It has stars ranging from Olivia de Havilland to Clint Eastwood, and Gregory Peck to Timothy Hutton. I think Danny DeVito is bumming a smoke off Debra Winger, and Tommy Lee Jones is about to knife Lucille Ball. It's quite the gathering of legends, talents, skirt-chasers, and desperate whores.
