1  Actress Jeanne Tripplehorn, who starred opposite Hugh Grant in Mickey Blue Eyes, was engaged to Stiller in 1993. The two had on-again, off-again relationship for nearly six years.

2  Janeane Garofalo went from standup comedy to doing sketches on the Emmy- winning - but cancelled - Ben Stiller Show in 1992. She went on to receive two Emmy nominations for her work on HBO's The Larry Sander Show, where her role as the caustic talk-show booker was a perfect fit. She also did a Saturday Night Live stint and was vocal about her displeasure with the experience. She has collaborated frequently with Stiller, including the movie Mystery Men in 1999.

3  Ally McBeal star Calista Flockhart plays the neurotic self-deprecating lawyer with an active fantasy life and an odd sense of humor. Most recently Flockhart, who is mother to an adopted baby boy, was dating Larry Sanders himself, Garry Shandling. Previous romances include Stiller, David Spade, and director Sam Mendes, who is currently seeing Titanic star Kate Winslet.

4  Actress Christine Taylor married Stiller in 2000 and is expecting their first child this Spring. She played Marcia Brady in 1995's The Brady Bunch Movie. More recently she was in Zoolander, written and directed by her hubby.

5  The under-used actress Claire Forlani was also in Mystery Men with Stiller and Garofalo. Forlani was perhaps the only cast member in the 1998 movie Meet Joe Black - where she played the doctor who falls in love with a blond Brad Pitt who was actually Death - that escaped the critic's ire. The romance with Pitt apparently continued in a short but less traumatic form off-screen. In 2000 she starred opposite Freddie Prinze Jr. in Boys and Girls.

6  Craig Bierko did a quick but memorable guest stint this season in HBO's Sex and the City as Sarah Jessica Parker's jazz-obsessed boyfriend with a near perfect sexual pitch. In 2000 he was nominated for a Tony for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical for his role as a traveling salesman in the Broadway revival of The Music Man. He dated Charlize Theron before she moved on to Third Eye Blind lead singer Stephan Jenkins.

7  The supermodel Caprice has been in the press a lot - more for her personal life than anything else. The statuesque blonde was there to console a suddenly single Dennis Quaid when he and Meg Ryan broke up. Then she took up with the much shorter Just Shoot Me star David Spade, who she recently dumped to move on to ex-boyfriend Stephen Bing. That's the guy that's been giving pregnant Liz Hurley all that trouble lately. That Caprice is a busy girl.

8  A big year for Brad Pitt, with two big movies, Ocean's Eleven and Spy Game. Now happily married to Friends star Jennifer Aniston, Pitt consistently dated his co-stars when he was single, including Gwyneth Paltrow (they were engaged), Claire Forlani, Juliette Lewis, Geena Davis and Jill Schoelen. He also briefly dated actress Robin Givens and had a run-in with her ex-husband boxer Mike Tyson over her.

9  Charlize Theron recently left long-time boyfriend Stephan Jenkins and is now involved with actor Stuart Townsend, who recently starred opposite Kate Hudson in About Adam. Theron, who grew up on a farm in South Africa, stars in Waking up in Reno opposite Billy Bob Thornton, which opens this month.

10  Sharon Stone's had a run of bad luck recently. The sequel to her star-making Basic Instinct was canned after going through several potential co-stars and directors, and she was rushed to the hospital recently suffering from a brain hemorrhage. On a more positive note, she's enjoying being a mother to her adopted baby boy and is married to newspaper publisher Phil Bronstein, who has had his own spate of bad luck this year - he was bit by a Komodo dragon after getting too close when he and his wife were touring the zoo.

11 The Practice's steely and determined D.A., Lara Flynn Boyle, recently broke up with on-again off-again boyfriend Jack Nicholson, who's just a tad older than her. Other past boyfriends include her Twin Peaks co-star Kyle MacLachlan and David Spade, who seems to do okay for himself.

12  Drew Barrymore used to be involved with actor Luke Wilson (when she had better taste). He got involved with Gwyneth Paltrow when they met filming The Royal Tenenbaums, but recently broke-up. Luke, whose brother is actor Owen Wilson, also appeared opposite Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde. He was the good guy.

13  It hasn't been a good year for Winona Ryder. She had health problems mid-2001 which sent her a London hospital. And more recently, of course, there was that incident at Saks where she was arrested for allegedly shoplifting. Ryder's friends have since claimed she was just stepping outside the store for a smoke and it was all just a misunderstanding.

14  Oscar winner Anjelica Huston was born into Hollywood royalty as the daughter of director John Huston. She had a 20-year relationship with Jack Nicholson which ended when she found out the much younger actress Rebecca Broussard was pregnant with Nicholson's child. Huston has since gone on to marry sculptor Robert Graham and she's now on screen in The Royal Tenenbaums.

15  Laura Dern, who is the daughter of Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd, has come out on top after being publicly dumped by fiancé Billy Bob Thornton when he took up with Angelina Jolie. Dern has since gotten engaged to Ben Harpur with whom she has a baby boy. Previous romances include Jeff Goldblum and her Blue Velvet co-star Kyle McLachlan.

16 Matt Damon, who won an Oscar for the screenplay for Good Will Hunting, recently become engaged to his girlfriend of a few months Odessa Whitmire, who is pal Ben Affleck's personal assistant. Damon was previously engaged to Winona Ryder, whom he was involved with for several years. On screen, Damon co-starred in Ocean's Eleven and is starring in the upcoming The Bourne Identity.

17  Tom Green filed for divorce from Drew Barrymore after just five months of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. This move was apparently a shock to Barrymore, who has since said their differences in lifestyle were to blame, with Green wanting to party and her wanting cozy nights at home. She added that they never should have married in the first place. No kidding.
