Success.
Salaries for Michelle and Spike remain hush-hush, but here's what we do know: They've both been nominated for Academy Awards, and they both have acclaimed films under their belt. Williams was honored with the Oscar nomination for Brokeback Mountain and also acted in the Charlie Kaufman-directed Synechdoche, New York. Jonze is the director behind such movies as Adaptation and Being John Malkovich. It's safe to say that while these two are probably making plenty of money, they're more concerned with the art of their work than box office numbers.

Attractiveness.
Michelle Williams is even cuter now than she was as Jen Lindley in Dawson's Creek, lovely in a completely unpretentious way. Style-wise, she mostly seems like she's not even trying. Spike is a tougher person to judge: Sometimes he looks handsome (see the second picture on this page) and other times, not so much (see the first).

Extra TV

Popularity.
Last month, about 246,000 people searched Google for the scoop on Michelle, and 74,000 searched for Spike. Those numbers puts them in the bottom half of our celeb couples in the popularity category.

Who's Dated Who

Staying Power.
With rumors of wedding bells running rampant, these two seem committed, but their romantic pasts are cause for hesitation. Michelle famously dated the late Heath Ledger, with whom she has a three-year-old daugher named Matilda. Spike was linked to Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and married to director Sofia Coppola for four years before they divorced in 2003. Not the best track record for celebrity dating, even if this couple seems like an adorable match.

Compatibility.
Michelle's a solid Virgo, but Spike is on the Scorpio/Libra cusp. If he leans more toward a Scorpio life philosophy, these two have a chance: the connection will be deep, and his emotional side will balance out her practical one. If he's more of a Libra, however, he's crossed over into too emotional territory, and her negativity will wear him down. Makes sense, because Michelle seems like a real downer when she's playing and laughing with Matilda outside.
