No pictures 'cause it’s late and I’m lazy, but Madonna has been consciously trying to channel Marilyn Monroe for a while now. There’s this other chick that sang at some NFL games that I thought was Madonna, but my dad was like “no way Madonna would come and sing at an NFL game” and I think eventually it did turn out that this was some other singer. Being slightly tongue in cheek here, but I can never tell any of the boy bands apart, nor distinguish the members from one another. They’re all one big anomalous mass in my mind. 😃 (Another hijack, because I seem to do a lot of those…is the boy band modeled after those Japanese five man sentai teams a la **Power Rangers**? :eek: ) ---

Steve Martin and Harrison Ford. (Maybe as brothers?) ---

The doctor’s son in the IMO tedious drama Nip/Tuck looks like Michael Jackson. And I mean like Michael Jackson NOW. Not a good look. Okay, the Martin and Charlie Sheen resemblance was an easy one, though you forget Emilio Estefez there. But am I the only one who thinks Michael Douglas could pass for a member of that family too? ---

Lots of lookalikes for [Mark Harmon](http://us.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0322330/harmon.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Harmon,%20Mark%20(I)), but I think the closest is Harmon and Boston pitcher (at least I think he’s still with Boston) [John Burkett](http://rangers.siegler.net/roster/old/burkett.html) . ---

(It’s the sculpted eyebrows). ---

[This](http://ia.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/39/46/12m.jpg) is th image of Annette Funicello (in case it changes later so that the above post doesn’t make sense). She doesn’t really look like Tomei, but considering it’s a thread about celebrities that look alike and these “eyebrow clones with button noses” were side by side… it was kinda funny. I guess you had to be there. ---

My mother used to drive me mental a couple of years ago, she was convinced Ally Mc Beal and Buffy The Vampire Slayer (Callista Flockheart and Sarah Michelle Geller) were the same person and could never understand why “the lawyer was fighting with the divils” [vampires] - Can’t see the similarity meself… David Duchovny and David Schwimmer … ?

Ever since I saw one of their videos, I’ve thought that Sugar Ray lead singer [Mark McGrath](http://www.celebritywonder.com/cgi-bin/frame/redirect.cgi?markmcgrath==http://www.allmoviestar.com/h/mark_mcgrath.html) looks just like [Ben Affleck](http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/1086/Events/1086/wi20010226_BenAffleck_Vespa_152636.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Affleck,%20Ben) (Yes I had to look up Mark McGrath’s name).

I always thought [Bing Crosby](http://www.moviecard.com/misc_n-s/opc/r96canadaplain-crosby.jpg) and [Spencer Tracy](http://www.meredy.com/tracy.jpg) looked alike. Especially when watching _Holday Inn_ and _Boy’s Town_. ---
