(PEOPLE) -- Who's a twosome and who may be toast this summer?

Okay, Julia Roberts has finally gone and done it, marrying cameraman Danny Moder. That frees up celebrity watchers to try to make sense of the rest of Hollywood's exasperatingly elusive relationships. Are Harrison and Calista still clicking? Angelina and Billy Bob?

Here's a scorecard:

Harrison Ford, 60, and Calista Flockhart, 37
