On Wednesday, Kanye West debuted his stomach-churning music video for “Bound 2,” starring real-life lover Kim Kardashian. The four-minute video consists entirely of Kimye feeling each other up on a motorcycle in front of a green screen, with intermittent shots of stallions galloping across the open terrain — which we can only assume is a wishful metaphor.
While their heated bodies look good on film, Kim’s dead-behind-the-eyes expression makes us think that she doesn’t put forth much effort in the bedroom. And as we learned from her infamous sex tape with Ray J, the reality starlet omits imagination between the sheets.
But they’re hardly the first couple to give the public insight into their private lives. Here are some other A-list duos, past and present, who have shared a little too much when it comes to their sexual antics:
Beyoncé and Jay Z
This music industry power couple had their first collaboration in 2003, with Jay Z’s “’03 Bonnie & Clyde.” They’ve teamed up several times since, including “Crazy in Love,” “Upgrade U” and “Déjà Vu.” Though Bey and Hova have been pretty tight-lipped about what they do in private, from the amount of booty-popping and hip-shaking Beyoncé lets loose in the “Déjà Vu” video, it’s a safe bet that they steam up the boudoir as well.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Brangelina met in 2004 while filming “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” Though Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time, he allegedly began an affair with Jolie on set — which led to one of Hollywood’s biggest breakups. From watching the violent — but incredibly hot — chemistry the duo shared throughout the flick, we can’t blame them for continuing that intensity off-screen.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
Bennifer will go down in history as the least charismatic couple in the history of Hollywood. Their 2003 flick “Gigli” consistently makes the cut in lists of the worst movies ever made, receiving a mere six percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The dirty talk and intimate scenes feel so forced, it’s no surprise the romance fizzled out just months after the film’s debut.
Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams
Their MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss was no fluke. As anyone who has seen “The Notebook” can attest, Noah and Allie’s long-overdue, back-against-the-wall, pants-around-the-ankles makeout scene — as well as Gosling’s strong arms carrying McAdams up the stairs before tossing her onto the bed — exudes passion. Their chemistry was intoxicating, so it’s safe to say intimacy wasn’t a factor in their 2007 breakup. Will these two just do the world a favor and get back together already?
David and Victoria Beckham
David Beckham’s nearly naked frame has been gracing magazine pages and billboards for ages, but the sex factor really heats up when wife Victoria is thrown in the mix. Their 2007 photo shoot for W magazine has it all — classic cars, canyons, dingy motel rooms and skimpy lingerie. What could have quickly become an awkward situation simply exudes sensuality — this duo clearly has what it takes to make it through the long haul.
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth
The couple responsible for the most publicized breakup of the year first met in 2009 on the set of “The Last Song.” They made a cute couple at the time, sharing many long, romantic kisses on the beach, set aglow by the setting sun. But as the lovemaking turned into freaky twerk-sessions, Liam clearly couldn’t deal and hit the road.
