There’s something provocative about movie stars falling in love while making a movie. What follows is a list of cuddly movie co-stars, some contemporary, some from days of yore.

You may wonder why Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson or Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward or Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh didn’t make the list. It’s because Cupid struck them during the production of a stageplay, not a movie. After all, we aim for total accuracy.

And now, the list, beginning with some golden oldies:

Turns out, however, that not all celebrities are big fans of cell phones, e-mail, or other such tools most of us take for granted and many use to excess. Some, in fact, are downright curmudgeonly when it comes to keeping up with the latest in technological wizardry.

Forbes set out to find out which stars are the most low-tech. Here’s a sampling of their list:

Angelina Jolie, actress and activist 

Paul McCartney, musician

Elton John, musician

Larry King, interviewer

Vince Vaughn, actor

Simon Cowell, American idol judge

Emma Thompson, actress

To see who else made the list, and to read more about them, visit Forbes.

Their new arrivals are christened Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon. You can bet that even the most intimate chums won’t lean over the crib and say, “Hi, Viv!,” particularly with the French spelling. Marcheline was the name of Angelina’s mother, who died in January 2007 after a long battle with ovarian cancer.

Knox Leon (Leon pronounced with a long “o”) was so named because dad Brad is a fan of artist Archibald Knox and has collected several of the late artist’s works. The day after Angelina gave birth, the Archibald Knox Web site reportedly received over 2,000 hits.

Celebrities are different from us ordinary mortals. Among those differences is their practice of giving offspring unusual names. What follows is a list of celebrity baby names, and there’s not a Dick or Jane among them.

Matthew McConaughey’s new arrival is Levi, but he’s not named for the jeans that Matthew occasionally bothers to put on. The spiritual star explains that Levi is another name for the Biblical apostle Matthew. Early tabloid reports predicted that the bouncing baby boy would be named Budweiser, after his pop’s favorite beer. After all, Matthew’s big brother Rooster named his son Miller Lyte.

Julia Roberts named her twins Hazel and Phinnaeus. Nothing wrong with Hazel other than its vintage seems to be several generations ago. But Phinnaeus??? It’s a family name, says Julia. But try explaining that to the kids at school.

Also on the previous-generations name register is Matilda, daughter of Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams. Possibly she was named for the Aussie folk song “Waltzing Matilda.” FYI, Jake Gyllenhaal was her godfather.

In early June, Forbes published its Celebrity 100, a ranking of the most powerful stars in the world. One big trend is the number of Tweens on the list: Miley Cyrus, Daniel Radcliffe, Zac Efron and Ashley Tisdale. But rest assured, the top 10 remains Tweenless.

Here’s the full list, and the slideshow starts here. For extras — such as in-depth features on Simon Cowell (right) and Heidi Klum, plus video, and various options for sorting the list — start here. And now for our Celebrity 10:

1. Oprah Winfrey
2. Tiger Woods
3. Angelina Jolie
4. Beyonce Knowles
5. David Beckham
6. Johnny Depp
7. Jay-Z
8. The Police
9. J.K. Rowling
10. Brad Pitt
