People knew that basketball star Seimone Augustus was something special before she even joined the professional league! During her freshman year of high school in Louisiana, Sports Illustrated for Women made her a cover model with the headline “Is She the Next Michael Jordan?” She managed to live up to these expectations by becoming the WNBA’s No. 1 draft pick, a seven-time all-star, four-time MVP honoree, and an Olympic gold recipient for 2008 and 2012.

Seimone Augustus and LaTaya Varner

Her partner, actress LaTaya Varner, might not have such an extensive list of honors, but that stuff doesn’t matter so much to Seimone. The self-proclaimed “homebody” took LaTaya on an adorable first date to Six Flags after meeting at a bar in Memphis, which quickly turned into a lifelong romance. The pair married in a beautiful traditional outdoor ceremony in Hawaii that featured unmatched ocean views. Unfortunately, the couple divorced in 2018, and LaTaya is now associated with another woman, Latesha Buck, pictured here.

  • Paris Hilton not only lives in a mansion, she also built a doghouse mansion for her Chihuahua. It's 300 square feet and includes air conditioning and heating. It comes decked out with designer furniture, a chandelier, a pink paint job, second-floor balcony, and enclosed "yard." It's not enough for you to live in luxury. Your dog must, as well.
  • Björk created a media sensation when she wore her iconic white swan dress to the 2001 Oscars. At the time, many derided it as hideous and a publicity stunt, but it has since gone down as one of the most memorable dresses of all time—even if it isn't exactly beloved. She says David Bowie was the inspiration behind the dress.
  • Jackie Kennedy is famous for redecorating and renovating the interior of the White House. Actually, on just her first day, she ordered $50,000 in changes for new rooms for the children and upgrades to the kitchen. She later hosted a tour of the White House for CBS News which was viewed by 56 million people and won her an Emmy Award.
  • Jennifer Aniston's star-defining role on friends started a hair craze in the 90s that even lasted into the early 2000s. Called "The Rachel," Aniston's shoulder-length haircut had grown-out bangs and highlights styled to perfection. A hairdresser in Detroit noted that at the peak of its popularity, 40% of her business was devoted to recreating "The Rachel." Too bad that it was notoriously difficult to maintain on your own at home.
  • When Rihanna debuted her famous red locks in 2010 (around the same time she was featured on Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie"), she started a red-hair trend. Over the next twelve months, she changed her hairstyle 13 times—more than once a month! But that came at a pricey cost. Sources say the annual price tag came out to $1,168,000 on just her hair.
