Yeah, yeah, we all know that Emma Roberts is Julia's adorable, fashion-forward niece and that Gwyneth Paltrow comes from a long line of Hollywood royalty, even calling Steven Spielberg her godfather.
But did you know that "Bridesmaids" star, Melissa McCarthy, is cousins with former Playboy Playmate, Jenny McCarthy? Yup.
And there's a whole slew of other randomly intertwined celeb roots.
Baron Davis and Spike Lee
NBA star Baron Davis is second cousins with director Spike Lee, but who knew that the flashy Knicks player and the indie director had so much in common?
While one plays on the court, the other can often be found sitting courtside. And it seems Davis' second cousin, Lee, has rubbed off on him as well-- the basketballer is now also involved in a film production company.
Elizabeth Hurley and Romeo Beckham
The extremely good looking David and Victoria Beckham decided that their son, Romeo, born in 2002, needed an equally attractive godmother. Cue Elizabeth Hurley.
Mariah Carey and Ashley Cole
After searching for an ancestral link to her idol, Nat King Cole, in 2007, Mariah Carey discovered she isn't related to the jazz legend, but does share a familial connection to Chelsea soccer star and ex-husband of pop star Cheryl Cole, Ashley Cole.
"It's fascinating," Mariah revealed of the odd connection, "My grandmother was a Cole before she married and it turns out she comes from the same area of Alabama as Ashley's ancestors – the Deep South."
