Back in 2007, Sienna Miller and P. Diddy were spotted together regularly at clubs and parties, sparking rumors of a romance. Both parties denied anything romantic, stating that they were involved with other people and were just really good friends. Judging by all the partying Miller did while she was in Diddy’s company, it’s probably a good thing that they’re no longer friends.

In spite of coming from very different backgrounds and being polar opposites musically speaking, Chris Martin and Jay Z are actually good friends. The lead singer of Coldplay described his friendship with the rap mogul to Pitchfork Magazine. “I love his music, and he’s a super cool guy, and he’s genuine. I respect his decisions, and we have the same feelings about trying to be true in your art. It just happens that one of us is a nerd and the other is the coolest multi-entrepreneur on the planet.”

It is hard to believe that Paris Hilton and Brooke Mueller were ever friends. “The Simple Life” star is a notorious party girl and Charlie Sheen’s ex wife is a recovering addict, so that alone would be enough to deter these two from hanging out but, if you have ever watched “The World According to Paris,” then you would know that these two were BFFs at one point.

Lindsay Lohan and Kate Moss were inseparable back in 2005 and 2006. These two were spotted out together at clubs, parties, strip joints and on vacation. Moss was reportedly helping the troubled star deal with the pressures of being famous but, with their respective histories of alleged drug use, the friendship probably wasn’t good for either of them.
