From ones we all knew about like Matt and Ben, to ones we really didn’t (Taylor Swift and Emma Stone?), here is a rundown of celebrity BFFs…

    NICOLE KIDMAN AND NAOMI WATSON: These two became friends as young actresses in Australia and have stuck together ever since.

    BEYONCÉ AND GWYNETH PALTROW: This duo were introuced by their husbands and became firm friends straight away. Just last week Beyoncé said this about Gwyneth "She is incredible, she's a great friend on every level." Are we wrong in saying there's something slightly unseemly about this pair?

    KATE WINSLET AND REESE WITHERSPOON: According to Reese, they became friends when Kate moved into the neighbourhood. "Imagine my good fortune when Kate Winslet moved into my neighborhood, rang my door bell and said, 'Dahling Sam [Mendes] is off shooting, and I believe our children are the same age. Could they possibly have a play date and oh, by the way, it's almost 9 o'clock and I've had nothing to drink, do you have any wine?'" Amazing. AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill

    KATY PERRY AND ALLISON WILLIAMS: When Katy took Allison as her date to the Grammys last week lots of people were surprised but apparently they've become really close over the past year after being introduced by their boyfriends.

    NATALIE PORTMAN AND RASHIDA JONES: Both actresses and Harvard graduates, we suppose they have a lot in common. Natalie says of Rashida, "She would fight beasts 10 times her size to protect the people she loves.
