THURSDAY ASK-N-GAB • TENTH

My answer: First, I hate this question.  No matter how you answer it, you sound arrogant (unless the celebrity is Jack Nicholson and you're a woman).  And often you don't see the resemblance yourself.  Anyway, I asked so I have to answer.  Reese Witherspoon. It's my pointy chin.  I though it was only my sisters who thought this until a few medical assistants in my offices made the same comment.  I don't agree, but that's not the point of the question, is it?

Also, you should have Ethan, Rookie's taller-half, tell you about his celebrity experience with my dad.  It's a good one.

People tell me Barbara Streisand, I hate it!

Shanicherie said...

When I was younger I got Catherine Zeta-Jones ALL the time (same eye shape), but now it's always Parker Posey and I really am not sure why!

Maria said...

People used to always tell me that I look like Teri Hatcher. I could never really see the resemblance though, except for the dark hair/brown eyes....

Jack Nicholson

kathryn said...

Penelope Cruz although I don't see it! I think it is the dark hair dark eye olive skin combo...

J said...

Minnie Driver. I have dark-brown, naturally curly hair and there aren't too many celebrities with that feature, so I think that's why people say that. Now, if only I was tall like her, that would be cool!

Keli'i and Megan said...

I've had Sandra Bullock, Jasmine Bleath and Courtney Cox...I just think it's the dark hair and light eyes thing because it definitely ain't the face thing! But people say my two year old, Eva, looks like Cameron Diez because she has a really wide smile like her.

Keli'i and Megan said...

Oh yeah, I forgot to add, yes, I can see Reese for you, Megan, but you forgot to say Sorsha from Willow...classic!

Johnny Depp, which is both arrogant and insulting - 'cause it's that goatie that I'm able to grow.

The Yahoos think I look like Megan Foxx (which helps when we're playing "Transformers").

Incidentally I took at least two minutes to figure out where to put the period in the last paragraph. Where does it go!?

Back in the late 80s when the perm was big and I had one, many thought I looked like Gloria Estefan.

rabidrunner said...

Willow happens to be one of my favorite movies. Prolly 'cause of the Brownies - that and it's fun to say MadMardigan.

M to the E to the R to the I said...

Jenny McCarthy. I think it's the long blonde hair, the silly/annoying faces and the joke cracking. Definitely not the body though, definitely.

Unfortunately, mine is the bossy "Hyacinth" of the Brittish comedy Keeping Up Appearances (http://kuacentral.com/). I think it's just because I'm bossy. Though I do like hats...hmmm... :)

(Btw, I found you on the SocialLuxe award site!)

The Fear Fam said...

I get told I look like a lot of different people - I must not have an original enough face - but most of the time I get Mary Tyler Moore (when she was on her show... I hope).

Ashley Thalman said...

Kate Hudson and that tramp from Mama Mia.

Brandon and Julie said...

Andre the Giant.

{Erica} said...

and see who she was. Not sure how I feel about that.

Also, I was told I looked like RUFIO (he's a dude) from the movie Hook. What the?! Thanks?!

p.s. I dig your chin!

theflanfam said...

goldie haun.

Jenna said...

Sharon Stone. Hmmm... not sure what to think of that one.

meg said...

Shanicherie, they're right. Haley and I agree that Parker Posey is quite a likeness. She's sort of a chameleon, so make sure you're looking at her at her best; she can be quite pretty.

My mom doesn't look like Jack Nicholson. She has features both from Meryl Streep and Celine Dion.

Rabid, every mother should be so fortunate to haver her sons say she looks like a sex symbol. And I too love Willow. I find myself often says, "I stole da baby." and "Willow, you iiidiot" in a goat voice.

Honeywine, welcome, welcome. We're so glad to have you. Come 'round any time. Even if you are bossy.

And Ashley, The Husband came into my office the other night, told me to move from my computer, jammed a DVD in my computer and started yelling, "That's Ashley! That's so Ashley!" when that tramp from Mama Mia started singing, "Honey, Honey." If the male Romo saw it all on his own, I think we're going to have to says its accurate. He doesn't often pay attention to such things.

Julie, I snorted at your Andre the Giant. Very funny, seeing as you're rumored to be quite tall.

And Erica, thanks for liking my chin. That's very nice of you.

Jenna, Sharon Stone is super sexy. Take that complement to that bank.

Lindsey V said...

Several different people told me that I looked like Jodi Foster. But that was in high school and a few years after high school when I was thinner. No one has said it for over 10 years now so I guess I don't anymore.

~Morgan~ said...

my 5 year old thinks i look like rookie cookie. does that count?

cat+tadd said...

Eve.

Are you effing kidding me?

I've also gotten, Helena Bonham Carter (fools).

Hen Pecks said...

Eve as in "Adam and"?

ash said...

the olsen twins, sometimes Reece Witherspoon...but mostly the twins. Beats me...
