10 juicy celebrity love triangles

Mia Farrow, Woody Allen, Soon-Yi Previn

In 1992 the tabloids went crazy when it emerged that director Woody Allen was having an affair with Soon-Yi, the adopted daughter of his partner, actress Mia Farrow. As well as the impressive age gap (Soon-Yi was 22 and Woody was 56), what really set tongues wagging was the air of incest - although Soon-Yi and Woody were not directly related, Woody had been with Mia (effectively acting as step father) since Soon-Yi was 10-years-old.

Woody and Soon-Yi have been married since 1997 and have two adopted daughters.

Laura Dern, Billy Bob Thornton, Angelina Jolie

In 2000, Jurassic Park actress Laura was engaged to marry her boyfriend of three years, Billy Bob Thornton; 'I left home to work on a movie' Laura later said in an interview; 'and while I was away, my boyfriend got married, and I've never heard from him again'.

Billy Bob met Angelina, 20 years his junior, when they both starred in 1999's Pushing Tin. The affections of the young beauty proved irresistible to Billy Bob and  the pair began a very public relationship - Ange got her new hubby's name inked on her arm and they both wore lockets containing a drop of eachother's blood. The relationship ran its course and after two years they split. A few years later Ange started an even more controversial relationship with Brad Pitt, more on that later...

Lindsay Lohan, Aaron Carter, Hilary Duff

From broken marriages to teenage heartache. Oh, it's a fickle world.

Back in the early 2000s teeny-bopper pop star (and brother to Backstreet Boys' Nick) Aaron Carter dated Disney sweetheart Hilary Duff for over a year before his limited pubescent attention span caused his wandering eyes to rove in the direction of an almost squeaky-clean (and apparently sun-damaged) Lindsay Lohan. He soon got bored of the Parent Trap star and went back to dating Hilary. It all sounds incredibly silly, but it caused a very open feud between Hilary and Lohan, which meant the two starlets didn't talk to one another for years.

As for Aaron, he tired of Hilary quickly and cheated on her with her best friend... 'That's nothing to smile about' said Carter in a 2005 interview, 'She wasn't even that good looking either.' Charming.

Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie

in 2005, after seven years as Hollywood's golden couple, wardrobe-synchronising Jen and Brad announced that they were to divorce. As if you didn't already know, Brad had fallen for Ange when they were filming Mr & Mrs Smith in 2004, although both claim they didn't hook-up until the Jen-split was official. Cue streams of media coverage of the new power couple - Brangelina - and a general sense of pity for 'jilted Jen'.

Brangelina are still together - with their cosmopolitan brood of biological and adopted children - while Jen appears to be doing pretty dandy with the sexy Justin Theroux.

In 2006 singer Alesha had been married for just a year to So Solid rapper MC Harvey; the couple had been dating for five years. But then Harvey met Eurovision singer Javine when they both starred in reality game show The Games and he decided to start dating her too. Alesha and Harvey promptly split up and Alesha's mate Jamelia created a very public feud with Javine, branding her 'a slag' during an appearance on Never Mind The Buzzcocks.

Harvey and Javine had a daughter together but split after three years, Javine branded the rapper a 'serial womaniser' and claimed she had done Alesha a favour by taking him off her hands. Alesha's career rocketed after her split from Harvey. Jamelia became a Buzzcocks favourite.

Dita Von Teese Marilyn Manson, Evan Rachel Wood

Burlesque queen Dita and industrial metal man Manson married in 2005 but a year later Dita had filed for divorce, citing 'irreconcilable differences' - these included Marilyn's hard-partying lifestyle and his fondness for then-19-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood. In a 2007 interview with the Sunday Telegraph Dita said of her ex-husband: 'I get the impression he thinks I was unsupportive, but the truth is I wasn't supportive of his lifestyle, and someone else came along who was.'

Marilyn and Evan have had an on-off relationship since his split from Dita; while Dita is engaged to hot French aristocrat Count Louis-Marie de Castelbajac.

A love triangle that sparked one of the most famous romances of Hollywood. In 1962 Elizabeth Taylor was married to crooner Eddie Fisher - who she snatched from actress Debbie Reynolds - but when she met Richard Burton on the set of Cleopatra, she found herself in a case of life imitating art as she fell head over heels for her married co-star. Elizabeth ditched Eddie and began a very public affair with Richard which was dubbed 'Le Scandale'.

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton indulged in a passionate and frought romance that spanned decades and saw the couple twice married.

Wayne Bridge, Vanessa Perroncel, John Terry

Back at the start of 2010 British tabloids went into a frenzy when three of their favourite things - football, WAGs and sex scandal - united in the story of England Captain John Terry's alleged numerous affairs - one of which was with Vanessa Perroncel - the ex of his friend and former teammate, Wayne Bridge.

Vanessa pleaded for Wayne to take her back - for the sake of their son Jaydon; John lost his position as England Captain and did some serious grovelling to his wife (who had fled to Dubai); and Wayne stylishly - and very blatantly - snubbed John when they came face to face on the pitch.

John is still with his wife Toni and Wayne is in a relationship with Saturdays singer Frankie Sandford.
