They are two of America's best known celebrities.  One is a late night TV sensation and successful comedienne, while the other is one of America's most respected actresses. One comes from Tennessee (Witherspoon) and the other doesn't, yet besides showbusiness the two have a small, and tenuous, Hungarian connection.

Do you know what it is?

If you don't it probably means you are not a gossip-monger or don't waste your time on websites like perezhilton.com or thesuperficial.com.  However, even if you do, chances are you don't know what connects the two.

The only Hungarian connection these two have, as far as I know, centres around their men, or at least the men they currently have in their lives.  Chelsea Handler has been seen out-and-about with André Balázs, while Reese Witherspoon is now engaged to Hollywood agent Jim Toth.

André Balazs is one of the best known hoteliers in the world.  Although he studied journalism and ran a Senate campaign for his father, he soon found his way into hotels and has made his mark with incredible properties like the  Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles.  And with a name like Balázs, there's no denying his Hungarian heritage. 

Jim Toth, on the other, is less well-known.  He has gained a good reputation in entertainment circles as being "a stand-up guy," but how much that could possibly apply to a Hollywood agent is in question.  He also comes from a Hungarian background, although he too was born in the US.
