Perhaps the only thing more shocking than the fact that these two dated (it was only one date in 1986) was what happened on that sole date. According to Couric, King drove her back to his place after dinner. "So we sat there, and what can I say, he lunged," Couric said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! "I love Larry, by the way. I do love him. But I started laughing a little bit because the whole situation was like out of a bad Lifetime movie."

Natalie Portman and Moby
The techno DJ dated Portman in the 2000s and got some flack for it, or so he says. "I guess in some people's eyes, [nerds] might be mildly sexy — and, as a nerd, I'm certainly happy to enjoy some of the effects of that. But as far as the very brief affair that I had with Natalie, it's made me a target of a lot of nerd wrath," Moby told Spin in 2008. "You don't date Luke Skywalker's mom and not have them hate your guts."
