The example you provide is not a very interesting one, since each of the
pairs is disconnected from the rest. To illustrate the point, though, I
 modified some of the pairs and added some others to obtain the list:
labs = {{"PENELOPE", "GUINESS"}, {"JOE", "GUINESS"}, {"JOHNNY",
   "WAHLBERG"}, {"ED", "CHASE"}, {"JENNIFER", "DAVIS"}, {"JOHNNY",
   "LOLLOBRIGIDA"}, {"BETTE", "NICHOLSON"}, {"LOLLOBRIGIDA",
   "MOSTEL"}, {"MATTHEW", "JOHANSSON"}, {"JOE", "JOHNNY"}, {"CHRISTIAN",
   "GABLE"}, {"BETTE", "WAHLBERG"}, {"JOE", "JOHANSSON"}, {"GABLE",
   "JOHANSSON"}, {"GUINNESS", "WAHLBERG"}, {"ED", "JOE"}, {"JENNIFER",
   "MATTHEW"}}


Then you obtain the graph plot with labeled vertices:

GraphPlot[Table[Rule[labs[[j, 1]], labs[[j, 2]]], {j, 1, Length[labs]}],

 VertexLabeling -> True]
