Gargamel Twinsy

A friend recently pointed out how much John Lithgow and Gargamel look a like. And I'd have to agree. There's the maniacal superiority complex they both share. Never mind the fact that behind closed doors, Lithgow likes wearing black dresses and creating duplicitous female Smurfs (are there any other kind?) in bubbling caldrons. 

I never forgave Lithgow for beating out Jerry Seinfeld and Gary Shandling for the Emmy b/c Third Rock from the Sun was vastly inferior. Other undeserving bastards who won Emmys? I'm looking at you Tony Shalhoub and Michael Chiklis.

Here's a Story, of a Lovely Douche-Bag

Seth McFarlane is obviously funny, but he's also a douche-bag and possibly a "date take-advantage-ist" (see, I didn't say "date rapist"). There is definitely something about his smarmy five o'clock shadow that reeks of bad boy badness but it also reeks of grown-up Peter Brady. Blech, but oddly sexy.

S-Mc also looks a little like Chip from Kate and Allie. That show depressed me when I was kid. I can't tell whether it was because of their broken homes or because the red-headed teen was so much less pretty than the brunette teen. Probably the latter. I am shallow. And empathetic.

Gummi Bears... Bouncing Here and There and Everywhere!

Does anyone remember what the Gummi Bears actually did? Besides being "dashing and daring, courageous and caring" and drinking amphetamine laced gummi-berry juice?

Sunni Gummi: Someone in the cartoon biz sure had a hard-on for Sandy Duncan because there are several doppelgangers of this perma-perkster floating around the 80s Saturday morning lineup. 

Grammi Gummi:  "Want a gummy bear? They've been in my pocket all day. They're real warm and soft..." Remember the devoted and totally spastic secretary from Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Well, Edie McClurg also played the devoted and totally spastic next-door-neighbour (alongside Miss Sandy Ducnan) in Valerie's Family. She is also the poor man's Mrs. Garrett. 

Sartorialist: Ginger Twins Unite!

Remember Chad McCann from Who's the Boss? The alleged mega-hottie who seemed to be mentioned in every episode by Sam and Bonnie but actually only appeared in two shows (perhaps b/c the actor, Scott Grimes, wasn't exactly a "mega-hottie"... he was more like a "super-mega-hottie"!). Anyhow, he grew up and starred in Party of Five and ER and then gave birth to a twin who roams the streets of Paris looking for his maker.

That's Right, Pumpkin!

Poor Mary Kate Olsen cannot catch a break. Remember when everyone was concerned with her incredible shrinking self? Well now everyone's concerned with her rapid weight gain. I, however, am more concerned with her unexpected morph into Kelly Bundy from Married with Children. Although it's better than her Ozzy Osbourne phase. Slightly. 

Sartorial Twinsies: Part Deux

Here are some more look-a-likes care of The Sartorialist...  As always, impersonators on the left, real celebs on the right. 

Family Face Ties: Look everyone, it's Mallory Keaton out and about in Milan! No, not really - it's just your average beautiful Italian who looks exactly like the girl I wanted to look like my whole life. Jealous emoticon. 

Ally McWheels: And here we have an RDJ impersonator biking around Manhatten - no doubt hoping someone will ask for his autograph so he can say: "Can't you see I'm talking on the phone and riding my bike?!" And then Page Six can officially declare him an a-hole.
