Stars send Valentine’s Day greetings like everybody else, and many directed those messages to fans and others on Saturday.
Academy Award nominee Benedict Cumberbatch (“The Imitation Game”) went above and beyond loving tweets — he tied the knot with his pregnant fiancee, Sophie Hunter, Saturday.
Fellow Oscar nominee Reese Witherspoon (“Wild”) tweeted some love to singer Diana Ross.
All my love today folks!!! #HappyValentinesDay (Inspired by #DianaRoss and this #Love wall by #CurtisKulig in LA.) https://t.co/aHFcj2wwh7

Jimmy Fallon, who’s sparked the #WhyImSingle hashtag on “The Tonight Show” for the special day, had a special message for candy hearts.
Thank you, candy hearts you get on Valentine’s Day, for being the best way to say, “I love you – now please eat chalk.” #ThankYouNoteFriday — jimmy fallon (@jimmyfallon) February 14, 2015
British singer Sam Smith sent a message to all the lonely hearts.

“Parks and Recreation” actor Rob Lowe paid tribute.

Model Chrissy Teigen shared a sweet moment from her date with her husband, singer John Legend.
Some were self-explanatory (sort of), like “Guardians of the Galaxy” director James Gunn’s Instagram post.
Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody. You’re all like Kevin Bacon to me. A photo posted by James Gunn (@jamesgunn) on
Then there were those who seemed like they just may be a little over V-Day. Garbage’s Twitter page, for one, pointed out a negative — even if there is reportedly a cute dog involved.
This is why I HATE valentines day. I wake up. I look at him. He looks down at the dog, smiles + says ” She’s the BEST valentine isn’t she?”

“Da Vinci’s Demons” star Tom Riley compared love to a slaughterhouse, complete with the sound of cows in their death throes.
Love is like an abattoir. It’s steamy, dangerous, hooks you through the heart, and is soundtracked by cattle screaming. Happy Valentine’s. — Tom Riley (@thisisTomRiley) February 14, 2015
“Hostel” director Eli Roth quoted “Scarface” from Ocean Dr. in Miami (sometimes the message is in what isn’t said about Valentine’s Day).
Some were just disturbing, like a greeting from the “Bates Motel” Instagram account.
