Just saw this note asking for celebrity look-a-likes to attend local premier of Talledega Nights. I was thinking maybe B-boy and Lynnpoint might want to go as Garth Brooks and Ira Louvin. It's been suggested that I could be the chubby guy in They Might Be Giants but I doubt that's enough celeb to get me in the door. LeeG could do John Hodgman!
What other celebrity look-a-likes do we have on the blab?

I've been told Kelsey Grammar (though I think I've got way more hair), or Martin Mull when I wear glasses.

Look-alike contests must be catching on. We've got an Anna Kournikova look alike contest going on in town...seems she's up here for a tennis match or two.
Top six winners get $100 gift card and their pic taken with Anna.

Do they need a judge? :)

I must admit- I did think of him when I heard about the contest. I was waiting to see if any pics surfaced from the pubs...word was she was going to be out and about last evening.

J³ would make an excellent judge, no?
To their face mamma!
I don't look like anyone famous. But I've had a bunch of people who say I have an uncanny resemblance to someone they know.

You'd have to fight off Conan and his big hulking 200 pounds in grey boots.
And I've been told I look exactly like someone else here in town. Neither of us are famous though.
Maybe you are my "twin," DnB. It hasn't happened in a while, but I used to have perfect strangers come up to me and start talking about things that I knew nothing about. I think I offended a couple of people by telling them they had mistaken me for somebody else. All I know is that she (twin) used to work out at the downtown Y back when I did, because a guy at the counter once said, "Oh, did you forget something?" when I was just coming in for a swim.
Either that, or I used to have that Sybil thing going on, and don't anymore.
I used to be told that I looked like Grace Slick, back in the day. Don't think that is such a good thing, anymore. :)

LeeG could do John Hodgman!
BTW, I am so much more handsome and sexy than that guy.

How funny!! There was a waitress at Regas on 17th that used to confuse me with my look-alike. Odd, we never were there at the same time. Hmmm.
(I don't think I look anything like Grace Slick.)

You also do better non-sequiter digression as adjective.
How funny; Kate & I have been talking about doplegangers all day. heh.
(we were trying to figure out what a "ganger" is in German.)
