Jason Donovan showed his romantic side recently when he discussed spending his first night together with his then
Neighbours co-star Kylie Minogue. Okay, maybe it wasn't that romantic when you consider the setting for their encounter: a Travelodge! Having had a music career dispensing cheesy pop songs, it's unlikely that Jason would see eye-to-eye with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler.
DS connects this contrasting pair using an Aussie actor with a dodgy memory and three faces familiar to the UK singles charts.
Jason Donovan to... Guy Pearce - The obvious connection between this pair would be through their roles in
Neighbours. However, they crossed paths again when parts were up for grabs in Aussie flick
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Jason turned down the role of drag queen Felicia, a role that eventually shot Guy Pearce to fame and fortune. "[It] depressed the f*** out of me," moaned Jason.
Guy Pearce to... Samantha Mumba - Guy is best known for his role as a man plagued by memory loss in
Memento, and he'd perhaps be keen to forget one particular film on his CV: 2002's
The Time Machine. A box office bomb and full-blown critical turkey, it wasn't exactly the Hollywood launching pad that Guy's young Irish co-star Samantha Mumba had hoped for, either.
Samantha Mumba to... Gareth Gates - The career of Irish singer Sam is a pop music mystery. The singles from her debut album all charted strongly in the UK but she then vanished in a flash. Her second studio album never even saw the light of day. Proving that she hasn't disappeared completely, Sam popped up as a
Dancing On Ice contestant along with another early noughties pop sensation, Gareth Gates.
Gareth Gates to... Kimberley Walsh - The
Pop Idol runner-up hails from Bradford, West Yorkshire and honed his vocal chords singing for the city's Cathedral choir from the age of nine. He even heads back to the city on occasion to switch on the Christmas lights! Another Bradfordian, Girls Aloud's Kimberley Walsh, found reality TV to be the perfect platform for her talents when she won a spot in the girl group through
Popstars.
Kimberley Walsh to... Steven Tyler - Kimberley's band have just about cornered the market in perfect pop songs. However, their cover of Aerosmith and Run DMC's 'Walk This Way' with the Sugababes is cited as a blot on an otherwise flawless copybook. The Comic Relief track was named the second worst cover of all time by musos at
Total Guitar Magazine this year. Steven Tyler would not be amused!
