For a few months I've tried to pretend this Rihanna-Leonardo DiCaprio thing wasn't happening. I made jokes about it and ignored the reports that flooded in out of complete denial that the universe would ever gift popular culture with such a perfect union. The coolest guy in Hollywood linked up with the baddest girl in music? Nah, never.

More and more though it's looking like dreams do come true, even in the age of "Pics or It Didn't Happen." Leo threw Rihanna a blowout 27th birthday party last week, and today, TMZ released pictures from it, showing the two superstars getting pretty close and maybe (read: probably) smoking each other up. At least in the gossip world, this thing is now real. And I'm all in.

But the question still remains, "How the hell did these two get together?" Sure, they're both super hot—that's usually enough—but they don't exactly make sense as a couple. Is this a relationship founded on looks and a shared affinity for tropical islands and partying, or can Leo and RiRi actually get this thing off the ground? Let's find out, with a few examples of conversations they've probably had.

Leo: It's just like, Blood Diamond open my eyes to a lot of things. And I felt like I had to do something because we're really fucking up the world for all these totally dope animals.

Rihanna: When I was in Thailand last year—

Leo: Is that where you took that pic of you in the gray swimsuit? My assistant hit me ab—

Rihanna: Baby, focus.

Leo: …

Rihanna: When I was there I hung out with elephants and lorises and they were the most beautiful creatures. I felt so connected during that trip—I would wake up, smoke a blunt, and just stare at nature off the boat while Melissa took pictures of me.

Leo: See! That's exactly why I started my foundation! Because this is an incredible world we're living in. And it's so beautiful. And it's our responsibility to protect it. I'm just an actor—I pretend all day. But in reality I have to devote my entire life to saving the planet, putting on a tux and convincing rich people to donate millions of dollars to the cause. Every day you can see undeniable evidence of climate change, events that prove accelerated climate change is here. It's not just rhetoric. And it's our job to help. We can either make history, or be vilified by—Hey there's my friend Tobey Maguire! TOBEY! BUY ME A RED BULL VODKA!
