Celebrity Lookalikes, the short version

August 23, 2010 By 16 Comments

I got to spend a great evening with my sweet friend Brittany last night and then chatted for a bit with some other great friends. I also wrote a brilliant blog post yesterday  – in my head. All that adds up to this: a celebrity lookalike post.

Here’s who I’m looking at today: Jamie Kaler from My Boys, Paul Bartholomew from commercials and small bits in movies and TV shows, and Sam Jaeger from Parenthood. What do you think?

If you haven’t seen Bartholomew in anything, here’s the Jeep commercial where I first noticed him. After that, it was like the guy was everywhere.

Have you noticed any celebrity lookalikes lately? (And how do you feel about singing and/or dancing animals in commercials?)

And another two…

This one’s for Hobsis, Melilot, Dappy and Scout. You have to look at them in order (sorry I’m too lazy to get pictures this time). Because I don’t really think all four look exactly like. Nope. I think Justin looks like Christopher who looks like Carmine who looks like David. What do you think?

  • Justin Bartha (Riley from National Treasure, of course!)
  • Christopher Gartin (Randomly starring in this Jane Doe movie, but also in Side Order of Life on Lifetime and American Dreams with my other lookalike!)
  • Carmine Giovinazzo (Danny from CSI:NY – he doesn’t have good pics on IMDB.)
  • David Sutcliffe (Christopher from Gilmore Girls. And briefly of Private Practice last year.)

And as brought to my attention from my best friend, Smitty:

Two More Lookalikes

August 22, 2008 By 6 Comments

I did it again. I watched an actress in a TV movie and thought she was someone else. This time, I thought Jessy Schramm was Brittany Snow (from American Dreams and Hairspray). Jessy was in a Hallmark movie called “Jane Doe.” (It’s a whole series of movies starring Lea Thompson of Back to the Future and Caroline in the City fame.) Actually, I saw her in an episode of CSI, too, but thought it was Brittany then, too.

Here’s another lookalike pair. In honor of the Olympics, I watched part of “Stick It” tonight. I’ve seen the movie before, and I was struck again by how much the actress playing the main character, Missy Peregrym, looks like Hilary Swank.

Here they are – see why I was confused? What do you think?

Am I Seeing Double?

June 20, 2008 By 18 Comments

Since I wrote about a “soundalike,” I just can’t resist talking a bit about lookalike celebrities. I love playing this game, you see, and my best friend (who indulges me and puts up with me saying, “See, see – they really do look alike!”) is out of town all summer. So, I need an outlet! I’ll just do a couple. Well, three. But that’s all, I promise.

Most Obscure Lookalike: Actress Michelle Monaghan (“Made of Honor“) and Dancer Courtney Galiano (“So You Think You Can Dance“)

They don’t really look alike, alike, but they really remind me of each other: Actor Seth Green (“Austin Powers“) and Actor Josh Gomez (“Chuck“)

And finally (for now), the one that fooled me good: Actress (and activist) Alicia Silverstone (“Clueless“) and Actress Maggie Lawson (“Psych“). I watched an entire movie one Saturday starring Maggie Lawson, and I swore it was Alicia Silverstone. My husband looked at the TV for a minute and said, “Hey, she looks like Alicia Silverstone, but her mouth is different.” And I said, of course, “Duh! It is Alicia Silverstone.”

Yeah. It wasn’t.

Things I Secretly Love

April 15, 2008 By 15 Comments
(I tried to think of a clever title for this post, but came up empty. I blame it on lack of sleep – thank you, Annalyn- and having just finished my taxes. Blech.)
So, I started thinking today about all the silly things I love. Things that most people don’t appreciate. Things that I’m a little embarrassed to admit I love. And then I thought, ‘Hey, Mary (that’s what I go by back home is Mary…name that song reference), you shouldn’t be ashamed of what you love. Well, maybe you should. But blog it anyway!’

So here it is. My list of things I secretly – or embarrassingly (is that even a word?) – love, in no particular order.

  • Plastic cups
  • Free t-shirts
  • Wife Swap, the TV show
  • Tostitos cheese dip (I fully blame T-Rex for this one.)
  • My husband’s shot glass collection (No, we don’t drink shots. We just collect them as souvenirs for some reason.)
  • Recipes that I look up, copy down, and never, ever use
  • Reading blogs – often written by people I don’t know (I’m not nosy, just extremely interested in people. And their lives. In detail.)
  • Cheesy chick flicks/romantic comedies (Never Been Kissed, I’m talking to you. How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, this is for you.)
  • ALSO – teeny-bopper movies (She’s the Man, Clueless, Drive Me Crazy) and dance movies (Save the Last Dance, Step Up)
  • Romance novels (I’d like to tell you all about the classic I’m reading right now…or even the political thriller…but…it’s a romance novel.)
  • Air Supply (I blame my mother for this addiction. And sadly enough, I have already tried to pass it on to Annalyn. For about a month, I fed her and rocked her to sleep to the beautiful soft rock sounds of All Out of Love and Making Love Out of Nothing At All.)
  • Looking up celebrities who look alike on imdb.com.
  • Taking personality tests to learn how cool I am. (Okay, I said it. I love those tests because I get so excited when the results sound like me – as if I’m so cool that someone has written about my personality – as if I’m the only person with this personality. Hm.)
  • Smelling library books (I don’t know what it is. But I love the way they smell. And for the record, that’s all books, not just the fluffy romances.)

Well, that’s it for now. As you can see, I’m not very cool. I also have started to like Taylor Swift. For those of you unaware, she’s a teeny-bopper country singer who plays a sparkly guitar. Yeah. A sparkly guitar. And I like her, okay?
