Scary in both senses of the word!

I would say that James McCartney looks more like a blonde version of his dad.

Yeah…my first thought opening the James McCartney pic was “he looks a LOT like Paul”, not “he looks a lot like Linda”.

Maybe if she decided to go punk or get a map of the world’s worth of tattoos, Carlota Casiraghi wouldn’t look so much like mom, Princess Carolina. Maaaaaybe.

I think [Shiloh Pitt](http://damitaro.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/shiloh-pitt-6601.jpg) looks like a fascinating mix of both her parents (Angelina’s lips right in the middle of Brad’s face).

> She bore an uncanny resemblance to Margaret Thatcher on the big screen. But on the red carpet for the premiere of Iron Lady Meryl Streep was joined by her own lookalikes, her three daughters.

In fact, one of them played the younger version of Streep’s role in Evening:

I call shenanigans. Harvey doesn’t have a son named Harry. He has a daughter Stella, who is 26, and two young sons under 10yrs, Roman and Hudson.

His Dad was named Harry, though.

That pic is from [Harvey’s first movie](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who%27s_That_Knocking_at_My_Door).

Even though this was “Uncommon Knowledge” in Hollywood, I haven’t a clue how ANYONE outside of maybe Stevie Wonder would not have known. If TMZ had been around back then, the jig would have been up before it got started.
