Who would've Guessed that 'These Celebrities' were Such Close #Cousins? @eNews shows us | @google @PageSix @MarieClaire

E! News shows us some related celebrities in an article linked through the bold text below. But first; that word "Cousins" ...
The word "Cousins" carries the scent of "With, Together (Com-) + cousin on your Mother's Side of the Family (Mother's |Sister's Son)" ((Child of an) Uncle, Father's |Nephew, Mother's |Sister's Daughter, Father's Brother's Son).

To Keep Up on My 'Research,'
I want to note that 'kissing cousins' describes two people
 who are not related but -who are friends close enough
 to use the kiss in their salutation (and not 'two who get
 involved incestuously!')

I'll go ahead and list some of the pairs here, but you'll have to go to the article (bold links above) to see how they're related:
Matthew McConaughey & Woody Harrelson (presuming they're not in-fact the same person ... they're together in some photos, but programmers do amazing PhotoShopping these days); Robyn & Blake Lively; Elle King & Rob Schneider; Ludacris & Monica; Conan O'Brien & Denis Leary; Steven Spielberg & Jessica Capshaw; Yara Shahidi & Nas; Lea Thompson & Zoey Deutsch; Kiefer & Sarah Sutherland; Phil & Lily Collins; Amy & Chuck Schumer; Kate Middleton & Dakota & Elle Fanning & Guy Ritchie; Jonah Hill & Beanie Feldstein; Jason Sudeikis & George Wendt; Stephen & Frank Dillane; Lily Allen & Sam Smith; Liev & Pablo Schreiber; Melissa & Jenny McCarthy; Daisy Low & Gavin Rossdale; Julia & Emma Roberts; Lacey & David Schwimmer; Alexander & Stellan Skarsgård; Sofia- & Francis Ford-Coppola & Jason Schwartzman & Nicholas Cage; Lily & Alfie Allen; Brooke Shields & Glenn Close; Shirley MacLaine & Warren Beatty; Rashida & Quincy Jones; Tom Cruise & William Mapother; Brandy & Snoop Dogg & Ray J; Charlie & Martin Sheen & Enulio Estevez; Bryce Dallas Howard & Ron Howard

Another list I found shows shared origins between

Angelina Jolie & Hillary Clinton & Madonna; Christian Bale & Gloria Steinem; Jake Gyllenhaal & Peter Sarsgaard (by marriage); Matt Damon & Ben Affleck (and not just because they're such good friends); Al Roker & Lenny Kravitz; Berry Gordy & Redfoo; Emily Blunt & Stanley Tucci (in-laws); Scott Foley & Patrick Wilson (in-laws); Halle Berry & Sarah Palin; King Charles III & Ralph Fiennes; Justin Bieber & Ryan Gosling; Kyra Sedgwick & Richard Nixon; Melanie Griffith & Dakota Johnson; Rip Torn & Sissy Spacek; Jason Momoa and Zoë Kravitz, Zooey & Emily Deschanel; Barbra (sic) Streisand & Josh Brolin; Paris Hilton & Kyle Richards

... I'm thinking it might be good to list some celebrities with the same last names who aren't discernably related; do you know of any?

Maybe I'll look some up later; but the first one that comes to mind is Matthew Hubbard. I actually have a cousin named Matthew Hubbard, but he's not the NBC-producer Matthew Hubbard (who I don't think we're discernably related-to).

Will Smith & Maggie Smith ... NOT related
others who aren't related (I'll list them all below)

Priyanka (Chopra) Jonas & Deepak Chopra aren't related; neither are Martha & Kristen Stewart, Serena (or Venus) & Vanessa & Robin & Michelle Williams, Jessica & Cody (& O.J.? Bart? Homer? etc.) Simpson, Jennifer & Mario Lopez, Mandy & Demi Moore, Denzel & Kerry Washington, Drake & Kristen Bell, Audrey & Katharine Hepburn, Mariah & Drew Carey, Jesse & Paul McCartney, Randy & Janet/Michael/La Toya/Tito/Randy/Jermaine/Jackie/Little Randy/Marlon/Joe/Katherine/ Rebbie/Brandon/Joh'Vonnie Jackson, Shawn & Camila Mendes nor Michelle & Alex Rodriguez

Do you know of any other unrelated celebs with the same last name?
