We know celebrities love to shop, but celebrity couples who do it together are super cute! There’s something about a guy holding a women’s department store bag that makes us melt. In the real world, hitting the mall with your sweetheart can mean total boredom for him and a headache for you. Maybe these celeb duos aren’t captured on camera arguing because they don’t have to look at price tags. Whatever the reason, below are five of Hollywood’s most well-known fashion-seeking duos we can’t help but admire:

Celebrity. For some, the word implies arrogance, narcissism, and superficiality. For others, it implies kindness, charisma, and power. While it’s true that both definitions have their part in celebrity culture, more and more celebrity couples are trying to change those stereotypes by turning their focus towards charity and humanitarian efforts. Here are some of the main culprits:
1. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: It’s no secret that longtime partners Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt like to give back, especially when it comes to adopting children from impoverished countries. Jolie, a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN since 2001, has traveled to over 20 countries in attempts to raise refugee awareness. Brad Pitt, though relatively new to charity work, impressed many by starting The Make It Right Foundation after seeing the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina. The Foundation has built over 50 “green” houses, and has brought more than 200 people back to the Lower Ninth Ward, a devastated neighborhood in New Orleans. More recently, the Jolie-Pitts made headline news when they donated $500,000 dollars to the Joplin Tornado Relief Services in Missouri. Also newsworthy are the Jolie-Pitts tax returns, which according to Britain’s The Independent, show that Jolie and Pitt donated almost 5 million dollars to various charities in 2009.

As most of us know by now, the rumors about Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith splitting are false. The happy pair set the record straight Tuesday according to People, claiming that the buzz in the tabloid’s about their 13 year marriage coming to an end are not true. The couple made a joint statement saying, ‘Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together, and our marriage is intact.’ While talk of the split was swirling around, the Smith’s were shopping at Michaels Crafts acting cutesy and giddy according to onlookers. The couple’s son Trey tried to squash the headlines too by tweeting ‘Did #WillandJada split? No they did NOT split! False information … it’s not true RETWEET!!!’

When it comes to celebrity couples, everyone wants to know which ones are hot and which ones simply don’t make the cut. Zimbio came up with a list of their 100 Hottest Celebrity Couples. Celebs were rated on their levels of success, attractiveness, popularity and staying power. The total of the scores in the four categories determined each couple’s rank on the list. Although one of the couples has since split, the other nine are still happily together – as of now. Let’s take a look at how hot Zimbio’s top 10 list is:
Why do some celebrity couples end up as a train wreck, while others seem to withstand the test of time? Different strategies work for different power couples. For some, private time is the glue that cements them. For others, it’s a conscious decision to put marriage and family before work or making time for grand romantic gestures.
