More Top Picks Best Meditation Cushions For Seniors
player ready...Admit it: If you saw a guy who looked like Adam Sandler walking down the street with an uberbabe like, say, Kate Beckinsale (right), you’d say, “What’s a girl like that doing with him?” In “Click,” opening Friday, Sandler and Beckinsale play a couple whose lives get wild and crazy after Michael (Sandler) is given a remote control that can alter his life. Clearly, the film is a fantasy. But it’s not the first time the goofy “Saturday Night Live” alumnus has landed a co-star out of his league.
Kate Beckinsale in “Click”(2006)
The British star landed herself in a love triangle between Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett in “Pearl Harbor” and was Ava Gardner opposite Leonardo DiCaprio’s Howard Hughes in “The Aviator.” Now she’s the wife to Sandler’s couch-potato architect? She has been quoted as saying, “If someone had told me years ago that sharing a sense of humor was vital to partnerships, I could have avoided a lot of sex!”
Tea Leoni and Paz Vega in “Spanglish”
(2004)
Sandler may play a four-star chef, but he’s no Rocco DiSpirito. Still, he’s got two lovely co-stars unrealistically fighting over him. Leoni is a savvy comedian, while Spanish beauty Vega (above) knows the overcooked drama of telenovelas. But c’mon, they’re both too hot for him.
Winona Ryder in “Mr. Deeds”
(2002)
Sandler’s sweet Longfellow Deeds falls for Ryder’s deceptive journalist character. Sandler is no Matt Damon or Johnny Depp, Ryder’s one-time loves–so his pairing with her, as his “SNL” character Cajun Man might say, seems like “pure fic-SHAWWN.”
Marisa Tomei in “Anger Management”
(2003)
Tomei played the gal pal of Sandler’s irritatingly passive character. She may have developed a thick skin defending her Oscar win for “My Cousin Vinny,” but dealing with a grumpy Sandler would probably require more therapy than just anger management.
Bridgette Wilson in “Billy Madison” (1995)
Wilson’s Veronica–clearly in touch with her inner child–is a teacher who falls for the adult-redoing-grade-school Billy (Sandler). Despite the hotness gap, it seems that here, like attracts like–though in real life, Wilson is married to tennis stud Pete Sampras. Sampras vs. Sandler? That’s 15-love, funny song boy!
