Defamer
While AOL has put together a rosy list of the "hottest on-set hookups," complete with lusty make-out pictures and lovey-dovey tales from between the sheets, we feel obligated to point out that not every "hot" and heavy on-set romance leads to a fairy tale ending. In fact, a few of these couples' choices to get busy in between scenes wreaked havoc on both their personal and professional lives, leading some to lose their spouses, their reps and, in Angelina Jolie's case, a tattoo or two. We put together our own list of the top five most ill-fated on-set hookups, mainly to remind these bed-hopping stars that sometimes it's best to just say no to illicit trailer sex.
5. Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett: After only three weeks of courtship following their first meeting on the set of The Player, the crooner managed to tie the knot with the Pretty Woman. But all the flack Julia received for falling in the sack with such an odd-looking, unknown duck wasn't the least bit worth it; their 1993 wedding turned into a 1995 separation, leaving Jules looking just this side of desperate.
4. Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn: Speaking of desperate, the weeklies' favorite pity princess was still grieving or whatever over the loss of Brad to Angelina, and her are-they-or-aren't-they "relationship" with Vince Vaughn on the set of The Breakup just made her look even more pity-worthy after Vaughn's repetitive, close-to-insulting denials to the press.
3. Angelina Jolie and Billy-Bob Thornton: Embarrassing enough as it is to get dumped by someone like Billy Bob, it was his alleged reasoning that made this breakup particularly gruesome. According to countless reports, Thornton just didn't feel like being a dad to Angie's little bundle of joy Maddox. However, the outcome (Chosen One! Brad Pitt!) was hardly anything to frown about.
2. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck: Gigli. We're sorry, that's really all there is to say.
1. Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe: Talk about losing a rock solid reputation; America's sweetheart, married to a classic hunk (with a cute kid to boot!), ran off with the (then) Australian lothario while filming Proof Of Life in 2000. The results? Out with the marriage and the good girl cred, on with the racy movies and trout pout. Disaster.

Showmance always bad idea.
It's funny--years later, I'm like "Lyle! What were YOU thinking?"
It was a slow burn, but the Alec Baldwin-Kim Bassinger hook-up sure exploded disastrously.
I never understood The Bob-gelina. What did that crusty old bastard have that go her so hot?
@hystericalredhead: Talent. Either that or a big schlong.
Is it wrong that my dream relationship would be much like Kurt-Goldie's? Ok, throw in a little Burton-Bonham Carter with their separate, yet attached, abodes and it be damn near perfect!
ummmm why doesn't that AOL list mention Reese and Ryan?
Can Defamer collect the coldest flack-enhanced manufacto-hookups? At least AniVaughn could make the list.
You also didn't mention the fact that Crowe publicly dumped Ryan at the premiere of the very same movie. She spent the whole time chasing him around the screening; he spent it laughing at her with his buddies and then cut out when she got too close. She ended up in tears with her friends, from what I heard from someone who was there. Classy, the both of them.
@raincoaster: jesus, really? I always found that hook-up puzzling because those two had ZERO chemistry in Proof of Life.
@Dave J.: Finally! Someone has voiced what I've thought for years! I'm a huge Lyle fan. It saddens me to no end that he fell for that frizzy-haired harlot.
@hystericalredhead: Perhaps she thought Billy Bob resembled her brother.
@GeektasticallyDelicious: Ah, but didn't the Burton/HBC hookup cause a nasty Movie Breakup itself? As fated a couple as they appear to be, Lisa Marie probably doesn't agree.
@raincoaster:
And then he ended up marrying the girlfriend he was cheating on, and has 2 kids with her. They kind of all sound like assholes, or 11th graders.
@Dave J.: Word.
Meg Ryan screwed up bigtime!
She kept saying the marriage was over, but poor Dennis looked like it hit him like a ton of bricks. He ended up getting tons of roles, but her career was totally ruined along with her face. BLAME RUSSELL CROWE!!
@FATAL_BIPOLAR_HOTNESS: I always thought her career tanked because of her tragic decision to turn 40 years old.
@CrankYank: Her career tanked because it wasn't supposed to tink in the first place. Isn't tink the opposite of tank?
@SteamyMcFirecrotch:
Well, he had managed to convince 4 other women to marry him prior to Ang.
@SteamyMcFirecrotch:
oh - he's pretty hot, in the 'can make conversation afterwards' category
so these 'hottest hookups' on aol mainly consist of men cheating on their wives with young skanks - classy..
