You may think ‘Celibacy before marriage? Come on, no one believes in that today’. And you will be wrong. Though it may sound old-fashioned but there are more and more people who decide to save sex for marriage. Even celebrities, who don’t usually lead such a puritanical lifestyle, decide to say ‘No’ to sex before marriage. Whatever their reasons are, these celebs publicly promised to be celibate before they meet their Mr/Mrs Right.

1. Adriana Lima ‘Sex is for after marriage’

Whenever you think about celibate celebrities, the first person who comes to mind is Adriana Lima. Maybe it’s just too hard to believe that Victoria Secret Angel decided to wait before marriage…Anyway, that’s true. The reason for the decision was first of all based on Adriana’s strict religious views – the Brazilian model is a strict Catholic. However, judging from Adriana’s interviews on sex and virginity, it’s also a matter of respect for her: ‘Sex is for after marriage… [Men] have to respect that this is my choice. If there’s no respect, that means they don’t want me.

2. Lady Gaga ‘It’s OK not to have sex’

Lady Gaga and her scandalous image contrasts sharply with her marriage values and views on celibacy. So her fans were shocked to hear about her attitude to sex back in 2010 ‘I’m single right now and I’ve chosen to be single because I don’t have the time to get to know anybody. So it’s OK not to have sex, it’s OK to get to know people. I’m celibate, celibacy’s fine.’ It didn’t last long though. In 2011 she admitted on ‘getting laid’, so celibacy was the matter of that single Lady Gaga’s period of life. However, her “don’t have sex” voice was heard by thousands of fans and might have influenced their views.

3. Lenny Kravitz ‘I’m going to do it with my wife’

It’s time to get a man into this list and Lenny Kravitz is a good choice. This macho man remained celibate for 4 years and explained it this way: ‘I think sex and intimacy and all that is very important. It’s just that I’m going to do it with my wife. And not everybody else.’ Good for you, Lenny!

4. Taylor Lautner ‘Waiting for the right girl’

World’s Sexiest Man (according to People magazine) is ready to remain celibate until he finds ‘the right girl’. Honestly, there are doubts if the Twilight star is still a virgin or not. But we should hope that the right girl will not keep Taylor waiting for too long.

5. Jessica Simpson ‘Virginity can be cool and sexy’

This blonde with the radiant smile got her purity ring from her father when she was 12 and kept her promise till marriage. She used to say “My virginity is something I stand strong in.” It worked well for her image of “the girl next door”, who apart from being celibate is also a true Christian and doesn’t drink or smoke. In 2002 she married Nick Lacey who totally supported her celibacy: “It’s not always easy,” he said. “But I do respect it. Virginity can be cool and sexy.”

6. Hilary Duff ‘Everybody has slept with each other’

Hilary Duff had specific reasons to keep celibacy before marrying Mike Comrie. She wanted to stand out. In 2006 she stated that everyone was talking about sex and she had no feeling that it was something special for them. “It just seems like everybody has slept with each other – you know what I mean?” So Hilary Duff waited for her special one, and, hopefully, she didn’t regret her decision.

7. Lisa Kudrow ‘I’m saving myself’

Lisa Kudrow, the quirky hippie girl from Friends in real life is quite reasonable and somewhat conservative. She remained celibate until she was 32 years old (!), when she married Michael Stern, her current husband. Lisa was not afraid to admit that she was afraid of sexuality: I don’t know if you’d characterize me as uptight, but I understood what it is to be so afraid of sex, of your sexuality…” However, that main reason for maintaining her celibacy was the fact that she wanted to be a decent wife for her husband. “I have to make myself worthy of the kind of man I had in mind.”

8. Mariah Carey ‘It’s just me, and my feelings.’

Mariah Carie was not a virgin when she met Nick Cannon but she was sure he was the one. So they decided to wait to make that moment special. She said: “We both have similar beliefs, and I just thought that it would be so much more special if we waited until after we were married. And it was, and it still is.” The couple separated in 2014, though.

9. Jordin Sparks ‘It just made perfect sense’

Jordin Sparks was another hot musician who took a vow of celibacy and keeps her word. She is said to still hold her V-card and traveling with grandma to keep her from temptation. No matter if that’s true or not, Jordin stated that she follows her parent’s example: “My parents gave me a purity ring and talked to me about waiting until marriage. It wasn’t forced, it just made perfect sense.”

10.Terrence Howard ‘I don’t believe in premarital sex’

An American actor who was married 4 times doesn’t believe in premarital sex? Weird, but that’s what he says. “If a relationship is built on sexuality, it won’t last long.” Terrence believes that sex causes responsibility, and as long as you don’t have sex you can have as many relationships as you want. It enabled me to date three or four women at the same time, because as long as I wasn’t having sex with them, I could always just walk away.

11. LeeLee Sobieski ‘My virginity was the gift’

An attractive and highly intelligent star, LeeLee lost her virginity with her husband at the age of 26. She remained firm about celibacy before marriage and she had her reasons: ‘It wasn’t for any religious reasons or anything like that, but simply because, to me, my virginity was the most precious gift that I could ever give to a man, and I wanted to be sure I was giving it to the right man.’ Obviously, her husband is a lucky man.

12. Julianne Hough ‘It will strengthen the relationship’

Julianne Hough, the judge of dancing show Dancing With the Stars , is another good girl from Hollywood. She doesn’t drink and smoke and is waiting until marriage. Her choice is based not on religious beliefs, but rather on her own views on relationships; She says: “If you’re just with one person, it’s only for one good reason, and [waiting to have sex] will strengthen that relationship.”

13. Kevin Jonas ‘Sex was not worth the wait’

One of Jonas Brothers, that sweet guy Kevin was actually strict and firm when it came to the celibacy question. He had a purity ring on his finger till 2007, when he married Danielle Deleasa. Probably, Kevin waited too long, and he is one of those who regret his celibacy decision: “Sex was not worth the wait. After we did it, I was kind of like, that’s it?”

14. Colin Farrell ‘I’m a good boy these days’

It’s hard to believe that this bad boy can be celibate…at all. However, after a hard break up, the actor swore off women in 2009. He never proclaimed celibacy as his belief or lifestyle, however in 2015 Colin admits he has not dated for, ooh, four years now. It’s just not happening, what with the work, the kids and my life. Whatever his reasons are, Colin refuses the image of a womanizer.

15. Linsday Lohan ‘Giving up sex to clear her head.’

In 2015 the scandalous redhead decided to join the list of celibate celebrities. The sources say she wants to focus on a healthier life and a pause in dating is a part of the plan. ‘She wants to have an emotional detox.’ Whatever are the reasons, the 28 year old star probably needs some changes to settle down. Will her celibacy last? Time will show.

That was, until emails from Channing Tatum surfaced, showing how excited he got about the success of 22 Jump Street. The emails were fun, silly, and best of all, positive. In a sea of inflated egos and insults, Tatum’s emails came as a fresh surprise, especially with his endless “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”s. The best part was that it proved that Tatum really is a cool guy. The emails were private, so it wasn’t like he was putting on a show for anybody. To celebrate this, we’ve put together a list of celebrities that are actually as fun and cool as audiences hope they are. Here it goes!

Alison Brie is so nice to her fans, she’ll even kiss them on their birthdays. Unlike most celebs, who would probably just spit in your general direction.

I met Matt Damon once. He hugged me, and I forgot about every single problem I’d ever had up until that moment.

One time, Ryan Gosling broke up a fight outside of a bar. Instead of just calling the police or security, he cooled everything down himself, probably just by being cool and handsome. No one wants to embarrass themselves in front of Ryan Gosling.

If you have to attend a party that famous people will be attending, hope that Anne Hathaway is there. She’s reportedly very friendly and down to Earth with fans.

Mila Kunis may seem like an unattainable actress, but she once attended the Marine Corps Ball with a veteran who simply asked her over the internet. Of course, she then ended up engaged to Ashton Kutcher, but hey, nobody’s perfect.

She always seems so down to earth. Jennifer Lawrence once removed barricades so that she could give a disabled, crying fan a hug.

This is a guy who’s as much fun to watch in interviews and red carpets as he is in movies and TV. Chris Pratt also loves tater tots (just check his Twitter for proof), which makes him down to earth and adorable.

He isn’t just likable on screen, Channing Tatum is a genuinely nice guy. Reading his emails to Sony about 22 Jump Street makes him seem more like an excited kid thanking Santa for a gift than a professional actor.

Only Tom Hanks can pull off being notoriously nice. He once posed with a drunkenly passed out fan, who didn’t find out about the experience until he woke up the next morning and saw the pictures.

Even though he’s most famous for playing a villain, Tom Hiddleston is a great guy. He once surprised fans in a movie theater by just showing up and sitting with them during a showing of Thor:The Dark World.

Katherine Heigl: The beleaguered and bad reputation-ed actress adopted daughters Naleigh and Adalaide in South Korea with musician hubby Josh Kelley.

Angelina Jolie + Brad Pitt: Brangelina have biological kids: daughter Shiloh and twins Vivienne and Knox. But they adopted Maddox, Pax and Zahara, with Pitt legally adopting them after Jolie initiated the adoptions. They are the biggest and happiest brood in Hollywood.

Sheryl Crow: The singer adopted both of her sons, the cooly-named Wyatt and Levi!

Mary-Louise Parker: The Weeds star has a biological son with actor Billy Crudup, but in 2007, she also adopted a daughter from Ethiopia in Africa on her own.

Rosario Dawson: As noted, the actress adopted a 12-year-old daughter while single.

Sharon Stone: The sexy star has adopted three sons — Roan, Laird and Quinn—over the years. Hot mama.

Calista Flockhart: TV’s Ally McBeal was both single and was in the room when adopted son Liam was born. She is now wed to Harrison Ford aka Hans Solo aka Indiana Jones.

 Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman: While married, the former supercouple known as Tom and Nic adopted daughter Isabella in 1993 and son Connor in 1995. While his daughter Suri Cruise is a favorite media topic (and target), the actor has said he sees no difference between Isabella, Connor and Suri and they are all his own.

Kristin Davis: We loved her neurotic portrayal of socialite-turned-mom Charlotte in the Sex and the City series and films. The talented and beautiful actress adopted her daughter Gemma Rose domestically in 2011.

Madonna: The pop diva adopted son David and daughter Mercy from the impoverished African nation of Malawi, expanding her brood, which includes firstborn daughter Lourdes (or Lola) and son Rocco.

Hugh Jackman: Wolverine and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, adopted son Oscar and daughter Ava, and they are are a happy family!

Charlize Theron: The Oscar-winning actress adopted her son Jackson while single at 36. The role of mom agrees with the stunner, who is now dating Sean Penn.

Meg Ryan: Also America’s Sweetheart, Ryan was already mom to her biological son Jack when she adopted daughter Daisy from China. It was a deliberate decision, according to Ryan, and she knew as soon as she saw Daisy’s face that they were meant to be together. Aw!!

Sandra Bullock: American’s Sweetheart secretly adopted her son Louis in 2010. She started the process with then-hubby Jesse James, but their marriage crumbled days after she won her Oscar when it was revealed he cheated on her. She ditched and divorced James and dedicated herself to her baby boy.

Jonah Hill
Whoa Jonah Hill transforms into an action man after losing 30lbs. . . keep the weight off! Looking good.

Boy George
We almost don’t recognise the British singer-songwriter of the English New Romantics during the 80s. After bouts of drug and alcohol addiction he’s looking a bit rough these days.

Madonna
Let’s hope that’s the evil job of Photoshop in the the Material Girl’s NOW pic, OR perhaps it’s Photoshop that’s been in her recent glossy editorial pics? We’re confused..

Ke$ha
Oh no say it isn’t true Ke$ha’s? The singer-songwriter and rapper is looking healthy these days, but perhaps TOO healthy?

Demi Moore
Demi has hit middle age. What’s that saying? What nature takes away in looks, it gives back in wisdom. . . Still, it’s dang cruel.

Matt Leblanc
He’ll always be known as Joey Tribbiani on ‘Friends’. . . Who’s that other guy?

Megan Fox
A little nip and tuck since Fox starred in ‘Transformers’. . . That’s okay, still hot!

Pierce Brosnan
James Bond, has retired and appears to have gotten super comfortable in his skin..

Axl Rose
The rocker was looking like a stranger after having plastic surgery, but he’s much better now. Still too bad the hands of time can’t be turn back..

Miley Cyrus
While the rest of her was getting trashy, her teeth were transforming into the only respectable thing she’s got. Now THAT’S a powerful dental device!

Fake Nerd
This woman is a liar and a cheater! She didn’t even need braces. But she’s good proof that you can look cute while enduring severe pain.

Elizabeth Hassle-Bleh
This TV host probably could have used the hipster trend when she was a full on nerd in school. We say she was ahead of her time! Bring back the look, Liz! You’ve got the teeth for it! You’ve got the teeth for a marble statue! #perfect

Cher Lloys
Her new teeth make her look so much more classy, which is not all that classy. But what do you expect? They’re just braces, not magic beans from the dentist. Sugar Free!

Katherine Heigl
She looked cute with crooked teeth, but she looks like a true movie star now.

Emma Watson
Emma Watson needed braces after saying Harry with her mouth wide open so many times. Harry Potter is RIGHT there, Emma. You don’t have to blow your teeth out trying to get his attention! But hey, it worked out well for her! She looks fantastic!

Ashleigh Butler
She was almost destined to be a butler before she fixed those things.

Prince Harry
He’s not Harry Potter and he’s not the owner of crooked teeth anymore. Those are two things he’s not. See? Braces are MAGICAL!

Dakota Fanning
She turned out nicely! Hooray for dentists, or orthodontists…whatever.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Hollywood’s glam couple are almost TOO real here! We like to think of them as always young, hot and exciting. We’re a bit sad.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
Kim has been looking HOT lately with her new post-baby bod, but this just takes the cake . . . looks like they would take the cake too . . .

Tom Cruise
Is it just us? Usually Cruise’s smile is infectious, but here we’re remind simply of a sloppy Tweedle Dee or.. Tweedle Dum?

A Bit Of ‘Trailer. . .’ In Miley Cyrus
We’ve been wondering where Miley’s influences as of late have been coming from.

Rihanna
Nope, Rihanna as a conservative “Mom” will never fly!

Johnny Depp
Would Depp have become as popular as he is now if he looked like this?

Jay-Z and Beyonce
The Mr. & Mrs actually look sweet here.. but we don’t think this look would sell albums for either of them.

Madonna.. What If?
Although this would never happen to Madge, her majesty the Queen of Pop.. it does make you wonder what money can buy?

David and Victoria Beckham
Some people might be laughing but it makes us sad.

Her up and coming daytime talk show recently scored a 48% on Rotten Tomatoes. Not yet mainstream, but take a guess!

We know, coulda fooled you right? Well, this starlet was once voted “Most Likely to Live Past the Age of 35” at Passages High School in Malibu? YOU SHOW THEM GIRL.

This heartthrob left a promising career in small town politics to pursue Hollywood stardom. He hasn’t failed yet, but it’s still early.

There are few men in Hollywood who have done more for children then this actor – nay, saint.

A champion of civil rights from his early days in South Central, this icon redefined the American justice system with nothing more than his bare hands

This beloved actor has been in numerous movies, playing everything from the wise old man to hot high school jock. He really can do it all.

This failed politician turned Austin Powers body double was forced to grow out his hair after he was black listed from hollywood following a mysterious arsenic laced envelope incident traced back to his Burbank apartment.

He’s your classic “spend too much time at the gym” meathead. Suns out, Guns out.

But only if you’re looking in the dark. And drunk.

Before you wreck your head, we’ll give you some hints. It’s neither Donald Trump or Clint Eastwood. Be serious now.

This A-list actor was role playing even before he was getting paid for it.

OR IS HE?????

You may recognize her from her many Academy Award snubs. Many. . .

Looks like she’s still trying to make it across that beach. Only with a little more cellulite than before.

Despite the vein-y, much too muscular arms, Madonna’s seemed to tame out over the years.

1991 album titled Dangerous. Song of his life? Black or White.

That Passion of the Christ really did a turn on this one.

Still the hottie he was back then, but will a little more edge.

This country singer hasn’t changed her look too much–she just deflated her hair a bit.

Years later and a little too much boxing and strange shaving leave for a much different looking fellow.

Those Daisy Dukes aren’t quite zipping up anymore…

Once the tooth-fairy we all dreamed about, it seems like Kristie dreams about food–and makes those dreams come true.

We can safely say that his head is now an appropriate looking size compared to his non-existent six pack.
