When the indie rock band The White Stripes emerged from Detroit in the early 2000s, Jack and Meg White introduced themselves to the world as brother and sister. Meg was the shy yet badass sister on drums. Jack was the wild younger brother on lead vocals and guitar. The White Stripes gradually found mainstream success with iconic songs like “Seven Nation Army” and “We’re Going to Be Friends.”

But there’s more to the story than great music and a family band. In 2002, Entertainment Weekly shocked music fans around the world when they published…Jack and Meg’s marriage certificate. Proving Jack and Meg didn’t share a last name because they were siblings – they were actually divorced husband and wife!

This week, Kell is teaching us about the mysterious world of The White Stripes – including many lies, a divorce party, and a vanished rock star…

Do you believe in the concept of “right person, wrong time”? Well, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem may be one of our greatest examples of that phenomenon. This week, we’re chronicling their decades-long relationship that begins further back than you might think — way back in 1991.

Today we know Penelope and Javier as glittering stars on the red carpet, both award-winning actors from Spain. But who are they really? That’s what we’re trying to find out — and we discover a lot of PDA pictures on the way. Plus, we count how many of our Hall of Flames couples, like Javier and Penelope, are still together today.

P.S. Kell apologizes for repeatedly pronouncing the ‘j’ in “jamon” the Scandinavian/German way. Oops!
