Known as “The Most Exciting Two Minutes In Sports” because of its rapid duration, the Kentucky Derby is a combination of old-time tradition and the fast-paced fanaticism of sports betting. Love and luck will both be in the air on May 7 – a love for the “sport of kings” and desire for the luck it takes to see something amazing happen. If you’re planning on making the trip to Churchill Downs, you might see a few amazing celebrities as well.
Here are a few of the past celebrity couples that have been to the Derby:

People are still transfixed by Charlie Sheen. Some clinical speculation about his behavior has suggested the ravages of drug addiction or an untreated bipolar episode. While all of this may be true, to me, it looks like unbridled narcissism in full fury.
The go-to definition of narcissism is thinking only of oneself. However, when you use the word narcissist you are really making a much bigger statement. A narcissist is not only selfish but actually lacks the ability to think of anyone else. Most narcissists are masters at turning things around so they’re the ones being wronged, and they make it appear that they are doing you a favor by letting you make it up to them. They are typically self-righteous and have an exaggerated sense of entitlement that leads them to believe they deserve everything and more. When they don’t get what they want, they get angry and their rage knows no bounds.

Sure his role in the upcoming film, Friends with Benefits, involves him having a casual relationship, but Justin Timberlake recently opened up to Ellen DeGeneres, saying he’s not a big fan of the idea, according toPeople. “It’s a really good idea until it becomes a bad idea,” Timberlake said. “It probably becomes a bad idea really fast.” The 30-year-old Prince of Pop said it’s hard to keep emotions in check in those type of hookups, and it gets worse once sex is involved. “If you’re going to be intimate with someone at some point somebody’s going to feel something,” he said.

“This time, we’re really done.” We’ve all heard these famous last words in the midst of an on-again off-again relationship. Rachel Bilson seems to know this pattern all too well, as she was once again spotted with on-and-off beau Hayden Christensen.

She’s really had it.” Could things be better this time around?

Socialite and model Lauren Bush is currently discovering a new answer to the age-old question, “What’s in a name?” The relative of former presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush and founder of FEED Projects is engaged to be married to Ralph Lauren’s son, David Lauren. Therefore, she will soon be Lauren Lauren if she decides to take his last name. Bush, who began modeling in high school, met David Lauren in New York in April 2004. According to People, Bush tentatively plans to solve this ironic dilemma by hyphenating her name. “I think it will be Lauren Bush-Lauren. That’s not final, but I think it’s nice to have the same name as your husband. I am sort of old-fashioned in that way,” she said.
