Kate has dated nearly as many men as she has graced magazine covers -- well, OK, she's been on more covers, but you get the picture. The diminutive supermodel, who recently announced her engagement to musician Jamie Hince has long had a penchant for musicians -- and bad boys (and, bad boy musicians) but that doesn't mean that she never expanded those horizons with, say, an actor or two. Like, this dapper Yank for example...

Johnny Depp
It may seem like Johnny's been smitten with his exotic French muse Vanessa Paradis forever but it's really only been 12 years. Before that, Mr. "21 Jump Street" had quite the parade of lovely young things marching in and out of his life. And, while the hair colors and nationalities certainly varied, he has always seemed to have a preference for willowy, ethereal types -- as is evidenced by his relationship with...

Winona Ryder
Winona's beauty and talent have had a strangle hold on a segment of the male population since she first burst on the screen scene way back in 1986 (who doesn't love "Lucas"?). And, while she's remained unhitched, she's had a number of storied relationships. Her type? Dark? Brooding? Mysterious? Perhaps, although, this one guy doesn't really quite fit that bill, though "dreamy" certainly does...

Rob Lowe
He's long been a perma-fixture in Hollywood's hunk brigade but much to the chagrin of would-be suitors, Rob Lowe's also been married for nearly as long. The original Brat Packer tied the knot with makeup artist Sheryl Berkoff way back in 1991, but he definitely had a busy dance card before then. Did he always prefer blondes? Or was his wife the first sun-kissed beauty who caught his eye? This ex-gf, while sunny, was never really a blonde...

Melissa Gilbert
Yes, half pint herself dated Rob Lowe for quite a while back in the early 80s. In fact, little Laura Ingalls got to hang with quite a few of Hollywood's most handsome bachelors. Was she a fan of the quintessential "pretty boy" or did she prefer more rugged good looks? When you factor in this former boyfriend, it's hard to tell...

Ever dreamed of taking a dip in Hollywood's dating pool? Of getting the chance to date an honest to goodness A-list star, a full on natural beauty (OK, hunk) like George Clooney or Ryan Reynolds? Of getting to luxuriate (with him) on a mega yacht somewhere in the French Riviera in an outrageously expensive hand-crocheted bikini while � sorry, we'll stop, it's just a little too easy to get carried away when contemplating such heavenly scenarios.
The thing is though, all you have to do is examine their dating history to realize that being a celebrity is a lot like being in the "it crowd" in high school -- these people only go out with each other. Take a gander at these former flames and you immediately realize how closely knit that inner sanctum or celebrity "couples' circle" really is.
But, what is it that drew all these couples together in the first place? Is it a preference for a certain type? Is it just that naturally beautiful people prefer other natural beauties? Let's see if we can detect a common thread, a unifying theme -- and, while we're at it try to see whether the person they used to date has anything in common looks-wise with their current love.
So, what do you say? Are you up for a quick round of a little game we like to call, What's Their Type ?
