Keely Shaye Smith, Pierce Brosnan Appear in Swimsuit Photos on the Internet

When exactly did wearing a bikini in public become a crime? That question comes to mind once again when looking at the comments made on celebrity-watching blogs about Keely Shaye Smith, wife of former "James Bond" Pierce Brosnan.

Dating Above Your Level

The negative comments about Keely Shaye Smith point to another hot discussion topic on the Internet, namely when one celebrity spouse appears more "attractive" than the other, a phenomenon that a friend of mine refers to this as "Dating above Your Level."

Few people could believe that Spade could possibly date a Playmate.

Who exactly sets the level for any particular couple? Like Keely Shaye Smith and Pierce Brosnan, most of these so-called "Mismatched Celebrity Couples" are in long-term, supportive and loving relationships that we all can take a lesson from:

Mismatched Celebrity Couples: Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker

The difference in height between Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker made George Costanza stand up and take notice in one memorable episode of television's "Seinfeld." He wondered aloud that if Eikenberry went for shorter guys like Tucker, he might have a shot, but he was about a decade or so too late at that point.
