Love in Hollywood is a wild ride. One minute you’re starring in a rom-com, the next, you’re in a real-life age-gap romance that has the internet talking. But hey, who’s counting? While some people raise their eyebrows at big age differences, others just see it as another Hollywood trend, like tiny sunglasses or method acting gone too far.

But here’s the deal, when it comes to celebrity relationships, age gaps are basically a tradition. Some couples push the envelope with shocking numbers, while others manage to keep it relatively modest.

Today, we’re looking at a rockstar and his new bride, plus five famous Hollywood couples who also have significant, but slightly smaller, age gaps. Let’s dive into the fascinating world of love, fame, and math!

Dave Navarro and Vanessa Dubasso...

Rockstar marriages can be crazy, but Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro took stuff to a whole new level. His five-day marriage with a certain actress and fashion designer makes Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries’ 72-day union look like a golden anniversary.

Yep, Navarro’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it wedding was so short it barely made it past the honeymoon phase. While Hollywood’s seen its share of whirlwind romances, this one might just take the cake (or at least a bite of it before tossing it out).

“It exudes a moody, ethereal charm. Surrounded by a towering forest, a serene lake and the ruins of a castle along the shoreline, it felt like stepping into a fairytale,” Vanessa told the outlet.

Legacy sequels have become hot property for the horror genre, and it seems the same approach has now made the leap over to the romantic comedies, with She' All That star Rachael Leigh Cook joining the upcoming gender-swapped remake of the 1999 movie.

Cook will portray the mother of Padgett Sawyer, the remake’s protagonist, played by TikTok star Addison Rae. In the 1999 original, Cook played Laney Boggs, the lovable art nerd who was made over by Freddie Prinze Jr.’s character, Zackary Siler.

“He’s All That” stars Rae in a role inspired by Zackary and “Cobra Kai” actor Tanner Buchanan as Cameron Kweller, the least popular boy in school. In an attempt to avenge her reputation from an embarrassing fallout with her boyfriend, Padgett accepts the challenge to turn Cameron into the school’s Prom King.

“I’m thrilled to be reunited with so many familiar faces! This version has a great new spin that I think people will really enjoy,” Cook said.

A subgenre within a subgenre, the all female biker gang movie has a long pedigree but has been curiously absent from our screens in recent years, perhaps because directors haven't known how to handle it. It's frequently exploitative in its attitude to women and sometimes homophobic, though it's also given us some of the best leather dyke characters ever to stride across the screen. In Melanie Aitkenhead's hands, however, it becomes something quite different. The gutsiness and uneasy glamour of 1968 classic She-Devils On Wheels are combined with a distinctly modern sensibility and a more realistic take on women's relationship with violence.

In 2017, Aitkenhead's short Blood Ride followed newcomer Maggie (Serinda Swan) through her decision to join the Dark Moon gang. This film picks the story up a few years later when Maggie is well enough established to start asking for favours. Her young cousin Mary (Vanessa Dubasso) has recently.

Stars: Pollyanna McIntosh, Serinda Swan, Diego Boneta, Vanessa Dubasso | Written by Timothy Durham | Directed by Melanie Aitkenhead

Written by Timothy Durham (Blood Ride) and directed by Melanie Aitkenhead, Revenge Ride is an independent horror movie about an all-female biker crew named Dark Moon, who are out for revenge when member of the gang, Maggie’s (Serinda Swan) cousin Mary (Vanessa Dubasso) is drugged an assaulted by a group of football players. It harkens back to old exploitation biker flicks of the 70s, as well as female-fronted revenge pictures like Savage Streets.

I was attracted to the film immediately, being a fan of the genres it feels like an homage to. A terrific cast, I thought most delivered in their roles, with Serinda Swan (Ballers) as Maggie and Polyanna McIntosh as Gang Leader, Trigga, both standing out the most for me. Revenge Ride is a fast-paced action revenge tale, and so...

Betrayal happens with the people you are closest with.

In the comedy, Friends Effing Friends Effing Friends, it tells a story of a few friends on relationships, their timing, missed opportunities, luck and unrequited love.

The film stars Tyler Dawson, Christina Gooding, Jillian Leigh, Graham Skipper and Vanessa Dubasso.

Lrm had an exclusive phone interview with director Quincy Rose last month. We had a discussion the origins of the story, producing a microbudget film, maintaining a small cast and the challenges.

Friends Effing Friends Effing Friends is currently available on VOD and iTunes today.

Read the interview transcript below.

Lrm: I’m curious. Where did your story originate from for Friends Effing Friends Effing Friends?

Quincy Rose: As a writing, you’re always thinking about different concepts or you might be thinking about telling a different story that might be entertaining. I’ve overheard some conversations with friends. People...

Quincy Rose, the godson of Woody Allen and the offspring of the late Mickey Rose (an Allen collaborator on films such as Bananas and a writer for The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson), has just scribed, directed, produced, and edited his second feature film, Friends Effing Friends Effing Friends (Fefef) so roll out the red carpet and blow the horns. Such an amazing lack of talent has seldom been contained in a mere 117 minutes.

This is not to propose that Mr. Rose is totally bereft of any artistry. The trailer for his initial effort, Miles to Go (2012), in which he stars, displays an engagingly high-strung neuroticism in his Allenesque take on heterosexual relationships, and you can't help but wish he had cast himself as a lead in Fefef.

But before I decimate the theatrics and the writing, let's confront the plot. Two childhood buddies -- one circumcised, the other not...
