"So, Marilyn Manson is teaming up with Johnny Depp on his new album for a cover of &amp;quot;You&amp;#39;re So Vain&amp;quot; by Carly Simon. You can re-read that sentence as much as you want but it&amp;#39;s not a misprint, I swear! Everything from the Johnny/Marilyn combo to the choice of song makes you think this has to be a joke&amp;#8212;but pinky swear that it&amp;#39;s not!\nPinterestFacebookI feel there are two things to note with this news. One&amp;#8212;as much as we love Johnny the actor, he&amp;#39;s always had rock star dreams! He played guitar on the Oasis songs &amp;quot;Fade In-Out&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Fade Away and has played guitar on soundtracks for his movies like Chocolat and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Two--Johnny is actually in a band called P. I&amp;#39;m not all that familiar with P either but check them out in this 1993 performance . . . the lead singer screams a lot but you get a nice shot of Johnny at the 2:30 mark!\nSo, while a Johnny and Marilyn duet is pretty jaw to the floor crazy . . . they&amp;#39;re not the first odd duo! Here are some other pairings in music history that definitely make you go huh!?__Lady Gaga joins Tony Bennett on &amp;quot;The Lady is a Tramp.&amp;quot; __\nOld-school meets new-school on Tony&amp;#39;s latest album of duets and believe it or not, they are adorable together. It totally works!\nScarlett Johansson and Dean Martin together on &amp;quot;White Christmas.&amp;quot;\nThe power of technology brought these two together . . . in case you&amp;#39;re wondering, yes, Scar Jo would love a second career in music (anyone remember her album of Tom Waits covers? Yeah, probably better if that was forgotten . . .)\nGwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis Go &amp;quot;Cruisin&amp;#39;&amp;quot; together\nTwo names you would never expect to create a hit song but it happened! Gwyneth and Huey starred together in the 2000 film Duets. The movie flopped but their rendition of &amp;quot;Cruisin&amp;#39;&amp;quot; was all over the music charts! (And now you better understand why Gwyneth had no fear when pairing up with Cee-Lo at the Grammys last year!)\nElton John and Eminem together on &amp;quot;Stan.&amp;quot;\nThe year was 2001. Eminem was at the top of his game with his hit single &amp;quot;Stan.&amp;quot; It was one of his most controversial songs and Em was under intense scrutiny from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation for his homophobic lyrics. He retaliated by performing the song on the Grammy Awards with Elton--one of the most openly gay stars around!\nJustin Bieber and Mariah Carey team up for &amp;quot;All I Want For Christmas is You.&amp;quot;\nI can&amp;#39;t explain it but this pairing just doesn&amp;#39;t do it for me. Maybe it&amp;#39;s because Mariah is so much taller than Biebs? I don&amp;#39;t know, but I just think it&amp;#39;s weird.\nNelly and Tim McGraw on &amp;quot;Over and Over.&amp;quot;\nI remember reading interviews with Nelly and Tim when this song (a hit song, by the way) came out and even they thought they made an odd pair and were shocked the song actually worked!\nBone Thugs-N-Harmony and Phil Collins (yes, that Phil Collins) together on &amp;quot;Home.&amp;quot;\nI saved the best for last because I actually think this pairing is more amazing than Johnny Depp and Marilyn Manson! Just watch&amp;#8212;the sampling of Phil&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;Take Me Home&amp;quot; with the hip hop beat works in a weird, how did their agents convince them to do this kind of way!\nYou can check out Marilyn and Johnny on May 1st when Marilyn&amp;#39;s new album *Born Villain *drops! What do you think of that pairing? What is your favorite crazy duet pairing? Any we missed? Lets talk about them all below!\nMore on Johnny!\n\nAll This Chatter About the New 21 Jump Street Movie Just Makes Me Think of THIS.
