Pisces Pig and Gemini Snake

Dean Martin (6/7/1917, Gemini Snake), Jerry Lewis (3/16/1926, Pisces Tiger) : As "Martin and Lewis", actor/singer Martin and actor/comedian Lewis formed one of the most popular US comedy duos of all time, making 16 films between 1946 and 1956. They were famously estranged for 20 years after their break-up, but reconciled later in life. Describing the comic-mayhem-versus-straight-man motif at the heart of their act, Lewis wrote in the autobiographical, Dean and Me: A Love Story (2005), "One time I’d gone so far that Dean and I found ourselves literally standing nose to nose, with maybe an eighth of an inch of air between us. And he said, with genuine anger in his voice, ‘I have finally come to the point in our relationship where I am going to have to tell you, if you do that again, it’s over. Do you understand that? O-V-U-R!’ I planted my mouth on his, gave him a big kiss, and said, ‘I understand perfectly.’ Now, I have to tell you, the first time I ever did that, Dean had absolutely no idea it was coming!...The act might have looked like chaos, but we could always get back to where we needed to get on a moment’s notice...Either Dean and I, together, would save us, or Dean would save me, or I would save him. It was a brilliant concept."

Spike Lee (3/20/1957, Pisces Rooster), Danny Aiello (6/20/1933, Gemini Rooster) : The actor and director/actor famously collaborated on Lee's acclaimed film, Do the Right Thing (1989). Speaking at Aiello's memorial service in 2019, Lee said: "I am honored to be here. Danny and I have been connected forever. Danny was kind of reluctant [to be involved in Do the Right Thing]. You know, we had different backgrounds … he was Catholic, he was raised in Manhattan. I’m Brooklyn. He was reluctant, so I took him to a Knick game. Then I took him to Yankees stadium the house that Ruth built...He said, ‘I’ll do your film.’ ...[Over the next 30 years] [w]e recognized our differences, political or whatever else you want to talk about it but we truly loved each other...I’m just blessed to have known Danny and the great Aiello family."

Normani (5/31/1996, Gemini Rat), Camila Cabello (3/3/1997, Pisces Ox) : As two members of the group, Fifth Harmony, singers Normani and Cabello shared a close and collaborative friendship from 2012 to 2016. At one time, Normani posted to Cabello: "I love you to pieces & I'm so grateful to have gained a sister like you. I've learned so much about life in general and about myself through things that you have taught me. You've taught me to look at certain things or situations from a different perspective. I haven't always been confident in myself and would always over analyze things that I would do or say but you told me anytime I feel that way just say 'WHAT EVERRRRR' lol as simple as that is it works ! ... i love you always even when we argue over stupid things like who took longer in the shower lol yo mama and papa did a heck of a great job with ya 👏 I LOVE YOUUUUUU CUHHHHHHHH😘🎈🍟💃🎀🎂." In 2020, after racist social media posts by Cabello emerged from years earlier, Normani said, "It was devastating that this came from a place that was supposed to be a safe haven and a sisterhood...It took days for [Cabello] to acknowledge what I was dealing with online and then years for her to take responsibility for the offensive tweets that recently resurfaced. Whether or not it was her intention, this made me feel like I was second to the relationship that she had with her fans. I really hope that an important lesson was learned in this."

Laurie Anderson (6/5/1947, Gemini Pig), Lou Reed (3/2/1942, Pisces Horse) : Musician Reed and artist/musician/film-maker Anderson were partners for 21 years, and married in 2008. Anderson described in 2013: "Lou and I played music together, became best friends and then soul mates, traveled, listened to and criticized each other’s work, studied things together (butterfly hunting, meditation, kayaking). We made up ridiculous jokes; stopped smoking 20 times; fought; learned to hold our breath underwater; went to Africa; sang opera in elevators; made friends with unlikely people; followed each other on tour when we could; got a sweet piano-playing dog; shared a house that was separate from our own places; protected and loved each other...Like many couples, we each constructed ways to be – strategies, and sometimes compromises, that would enable us to be part of a pair. Sometimes we lost a bit more than we were able to give, or gave up way too much, or felt abandoned. Sometimes we got really angry. But even when I was mad, I was never bored. We learned to forgive each other. And somehow, for 21 years, we tangled our minds and hearts together."

Carrie Underwood (3/10/1983, Pisces Pig), Mike Fisher (6/5/1980, Gemini Monkey) : Singer Underwood and former professional NHL hockey player Fisher have been married since 2010. They have two children. Speaking on the first episode of the couple's digital series, Mike + Carrie: God & Country (2020-2021), Fisher described, "We learn from each other and have spirited discussions about things that we disagree on, but at the end of the day, we love each other very much." On another episode, he said, "We're not perfect. We don't have a perfect marriage. But we have that one thing in our faith. ... It's a center ground that’s the most important thing around everything."

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), David Letterman (4/12/1947, Aries Pig) : The pair of legendary talk show hosts shared a long-running tension, beginning with Winfrey's appearance on Late Night with David Letterman (1982-1993). After the two later reconciled, and Letterman appeared on Oprah's Next Chapter (2012—),Winfrey described: "You had asked me before to do [your show] in Chicago...and it was a terrible experience for me. The guy in the audience started yelling, ‘Get her, Dave!’ You were sort of baiting the audience, and there were a bunch of drunk guys down the front. I was trying to like, you know, mitigate the whole thing, and it felt so uncomfortable to me. I didn't want to have that experience again." Also reportedly contributing to the unease between them was Letterman leaving Winfrey with the bill at a restaurant they both happened to be visiting at the same time, Oprah refusing to acknowledge Letterman when they were in the same place, Letterman making fun of Oprah's name when he presented the 2010 Academy Awards ("Oprah? Uma [Thurman]. Uma? Oprah.").

Matthew Weiner (6/29/1965, Cancer Snake), Jon Hamm (3/10/1971, Pisces Pig) : The actor and writer/producer/director established a memorable legacy through their collaboration on the acclaimed TV show, Mad Men (2007-2017). Studio executives at AMC were apparently loath to cast Hamm in the lead role, but Weiner was adamant that he was the best choice. Hamm described later, "I auditioned about seven or eight times and I was just thinking, God, at this point, I've pretty much read every single scene in the pilot to somebody. What do I have to do?" A former SVP at AMC, Christina Wayne, described: "We were like, 'Really? This is the guy you want?' Matt [Weiner] was telling us he just knew it in his gut and he could see it."

Julie Andrews (10/1/1935, Libra Pig), Christopher Plummer (12/13/1929, Sagittarius Snake) : The two actors memorably appeared together in The Sound of Music (1965). However, Plummer was less than complimentary about both the film—which he famously called, "The Sound of Mucus"—and acting with his co-star, which he described as, "[L]ike getting hit over the head with a Valentine card."

Simon Cowell (10/7/1959, Libra Pig), Howard Stern (1/12/1954, Capricorn Snake) : The two outspoken media personalities became involved in a heated feud, after Cowell replaced Stern as a judge on America's Got Talent (2006- ) in 2015. When hackers subsequently released internal Sony emails, they apparently revealed that Cowell had lobbied to have Stern fired and to replace him. Stern reportedly said on his radio show in 2019, "Personally would I love to see Simon Cowell [expletive] suck one up his [expletive]. In other words, would I love to see him fall flat on his face...My only beef with [Cowell] is he had a campaign behind my back, which I wouldn't have known if the Koreans hadn't hacked Sony. They exposed these emails he had going, 'We can get rid of Stern and I'll work for so much cheaper.' And by the way, if I had really wanted that job, then I would've been pissed. But I just find him sleazy and he is a liar."

Denise Richards (2/17/1971, Aquarius Pig), Charlie Sheen (9/3/1965, Virgo Snake) : The two actors were married from 2002 to 2006. They had two children. Their divorce was famously acrimonious, including court proceedings and a custody dispute. Interviewed in 2022, Richards described: "The behind-the-scenes stuff was way worse than what was out there. It was really bad...There is a lot that the public doesn’t know, and you never know what goes on behind closed doors. It was not a good situation...[I asked myself, ] [w]ould I want my daughters to be married to this man? No offense to him, but it’s true. And I think he would take that, he would understand what I’m saying. ... It was very toxic."
