“Best friend” is such a relative term. One day she’s your ace home skillet, the next day you’re not calling her back because she always wants to talk about her crazy issues. Either way celebrities, like us, have BFFs with whom they shop, dine and party.

You’ll notice that almost all the friendship pairs on our list have similar characteristics and even look the same at times…check it out:

Rashida Jones and Natalie Portman

Both Harvard-educated actresses are best friends for all the right reasons. Not only do they make each other laugh, but they’re supportive and protective of one another. Jones told Marie Claire about Portman, “[she] would fight beasts 10 times her size to protect the people she loves. She is the kind of friend who can sub in and love you through the times when you can’t necessarily love yourself.”

Chris Brown and Teyana Taylor

Through all the drama and insanity of being a young star, the two seem to really support one another. Although there have been rumors that they’re more than friends, Taylor has met and spent time with all of Chris’ girlfriends.

Lil Kim and Lisa Raye

Lisa Raye told Bossip about her friendship with Lil Kim. She said, “[if] you wanna talk about ride or die, Kim was there for me then and she’s there for me now.  We just let our hair down and have fun.  We understand rumors…and we know how to administer fun and then go away.”
