Celebrity Look-a-Likes
In yesterday’s post, I asked the following question-
Have you been told you look like any celebrities?
When I was in high school I was told that I looked like Kirstie Alley.
Then in college after Circle of Friends came out I got Minnie Driver a lot.
I think it was the spiral perm that I insisted on getting every six months, but I guess I could sort of see the resemblance.
Since then, I don’t think I’ve been told that I look like anyone.
I’ve seen the celebrity look-a -like thing on other blogs and I thought it might be fun to try it out. Here are my results:
Pay no attention to the other “celebrities” on the list. I don’t even know who the heck half these people are and the other half just scare me.
There is only one selection that is even remotely correct and I’ve brought it to your attention above.
For the record, I know that I look nothing like Rachel McAdams. Not even close. Yet, somehow, in some twist of fate the device was able to scientifically detect the adoration of Ryan Gosling that is clearly evident in both of our eyes.
Either that or My Heritage needs to fix their look-alike machine.

Friday Eye Candy: Kari’s Picks
A few weeks ago I put out the urgent call for help asking you to send me suggestions for Friday Eye Candy. Several of you emailed me your lists and I look forward to showcasing your favorite guys over the next couple of weeks. If you still would like to send me your list, I always welcome you to email them to me ~ dailymishmash (at) gmail (dot) com.
This week’s list comes from Kari. I was super excited to see Kari’s choices because many of them are newbies to my blog. In fact, I actually had to google a few of them to find out who they were.
Without further ado, here are the men of Kari’s dreams:
1. Barry Pepper
2. Bradley Cooper
3. Cole Hauser -Note from Kari: I don’t really have comments on the guys, except for Cole Hauser – he’s my fave of all the guys listed. He has the sexiest voice and walk I’ve ever seen!
4. Eric Bana
5. Jeremy Northam
6. James Purefoy
7. Billy Burke
- Which guy on Kari’s list do you fancy the most? Not sure why I used the word “fancy”. Just go with it.
- Has anyone ever told you that you looked like a celebrity? If so, which one?
- Totally random question (stealing it from My Friend Amy on who asked it on Twitter)–Will you be watching Celebrity Apprentice this Sunday?

13 Celebrities That I Would Send To Jail
One of the first things President Obama did when he got into office was to sign an order to close Guantanamo Bay within the next year. It was a bold move that was criticized by some and cheered by others.
It kind of seems like a waste of a good jail to me, but what do I know.
Of course, I’m kidding. I rarely never believe in torturing people and if there is evidence of that happening here then it sounds like the President made the right decision.
I was thinking of what could be done with the facility and I had the idea of turning it into a Rehabilitation Center for Celebrities Gone Wrong. There are plenty of them out there making the news and irritating me every day.
After careful consideration, I would like to arrest the following:
1. Lisa Rinna-For this Oscar atrocity, I’m putting you in my jail and throwing away the key. Life sentence.
(I am also very suspicious that you have weapons of mass destruction hiding in those lips so you will be watched closely by heavily armed guards at all times. Don’t even think of trying to plan your escape.)
2. Kellie Pickler-It seems as though you are going down the same slippery slope as Ms. Rinna. You are such a cute girl, but the madness has to stop. I’m arresting you so that you will stop it and stop it right now.
3. Chris Brown- You know why you need to be there, and I’m sorry but anger management classes just aren’t going to cut it.
4. Brangelina- You snubbed Ryan Seacrest on the Oscar Red Carpet because you think you are better than everyone else. Your sentence is 3 months but I may let Brad off for good behavior if he shaves that awful thing he has growing on his face.
5. Natalie Portman- First I hear a rumor that you are dating my Ryan Gosling. As you may recall, I was totally fine with that. Then I hear that you are canoodling with Robert Pattinson at the Oscars. Um, ok? What happened to Ryan? Was he not good enough for you? Now, only days later, I find out that you are being linked to yet another hottie (Rodrigo Santoro- Karl from Love Actually).
Look, I don’t blame you. I’d be doing the same thing if I looked like you. But you have to admit this is getting a bit out of hand. Six month sentence-trust me, it is for your own good.
6. Kristen Stewart and her dad- I just read that your dad said you refused to present at the Oscars because you will only present “when it’s a great movie, not just one that makes a lot of money.”
Who in the hell do you think you are? Look, I had my own problems with Twilight but you are the lead actress in the movie and you have three more movies to do. Don’t you think it might behoove you to just suck it up and be supportive. Either that or just shut your damn mouth.
I’m giving both of you a ten year sentence for that remark. If they can’t find anyone else to recast as Bella (yes, I’d be fine with that) then I’ll let you out on Twilight-arrest to make the movie. As soon as the cameras stop rolling you are back in the slammer so both you and your father won’t be allowed to do any more interviews.
7. Lindsay Lohan-Your crimes are really adding up- Another topless photo shoot, your scary skinny status, and that stupid “sshhh” tattoo. I’m getting ready to lock you up and throw away the key.
Actually, I may have to rethink my whole policy on torture if you keep it up. Consider yourself on notice, Lohan.
8. Pamela Anderson- You were already on my most wanted list after you forgot to wear pants to an art show.
I was willing to forgive that little faux pas. I mean who hasn’t forgotten their pants from time to time. It happens to the best of us.
Then there was the whole fashion week incident and I feel like enough is enough already. Your fate is now decided. It is the slammer for you and your glittery butt. Sentence-five years.
9. Val Kilmer-Honestly I was never really that big of a fan to begin with, but I know many of my readers thought you were hot. So, when you go from this
to this
to THIS
I think it is time for an intervention. This is a downward spiral that needs to be stopped and it needs to be stopped right now. I’m sorry Iceman, but this is for your own good. Sentence-two years.
10. People who are remaking the movie “Clue”. All of you deserve to rot. Why can’t Hollywood leave a good thing alone? Your sentence is indefinite.
11. Katie Holmes- I know a lot of you will blast me for this one, but it has to be done. Katie, I loved you on Dawson’s Creek. I genuinely want to love you now, but I just don’t understand why you insist on trying to make new fashion trends happen that are downright hideous.
Rolled jeans? Really?
Blue shoes with a red dress? Nice try, but I don’t think so.
And your most recent offense:
Your crimes of fashion can no long go unpunished. I think a few months in my jail will really do you some good.
12. Octomom (Along with her fertility doctor for knocking her up and Dr. Phil for putting her on his show)-I’m sending you all to jail until the babies are all over the age of eighteen.
You can share a cell with Brad and Angelina and work out all your issues.
13. Your choice. Who would you like to send to jail?
Do you agree or disagree with any of my choices? Feel free to leave me a comment and let me know.

Spreading Some Love
I’m submitting this post as part of Halftime Lessons’ Tuesday Tribute. Check it out here. if you’d like to join in on the fun.
I always feel kind of silly talking about blog awards. It isn’t that I’m not appreciative when I receive them because it is always nice to hear that someone enjoys your blog. They really do mean a lot to me. It is just that I’m uncomfortable with the whole “Hey look at my new blog award” post. I don’t like to toot my own horn. I also hate picking favorites from the blogs that I read. It stresses me out to know that I might be leaving someone out.
So, I do what I do best when something is uncomfortable to me. I procrastinate.
And procrastinate.
And procrastinate some more.
Then months go by and I still haven’t taken the time to thank the following bloggers for their sweet awards.
Thank you guys so much! It really does mean so much to know that you enjoy my blog. Please click over and visit these ladies because they all rock!!
Now, it is my turn to pass along some of my own bloggy love. I have a different kind of award today. It is called the star commenter award.
I made it up myself and I invite you all to take it and hand it out to your own star commenters.
It has been said time and time again on blogs how much commenting means to bloggers. I’m sure for those of you that don’t have blogs, it can be a bit annoying and it probably makes us sound pathetic and needy.
It is hard to describe to someone who doesn’t blog how important the feedback is on something you wrote. There is a certain kind of thrill that I get each time I see the little alert in my inbox that someone has left a new comment. I read and enjoy every single one of them and they really do brighten my day more than you know.
I don’t care if you tell me you hate Ryan Gosling and think Twilight is the worst book ever written. It doesn’t matter. It still makes my day to hear from my readers even if they don’t have good taste. Just kidding.
That being said there are some bIoggers that go above and beyond with their comment love. I see their names pop up on just about every post I have written this month and I just want to give them special recognition and let the world know how much I appreciate the time and effort it takes to visit almost daily. Here they are my star commenters in no particular order:
Shannon @ Welcome to the Nuthouse
Susan @ Life in the Psych Ward
Elaine @ The Miss Elaine~ous Life
Jenn(ifer) @ Adventures in Raising Boys
Katelin @ Gorgeous Footprints in the Sand
Carol @ Siswick Construction Zone
There are more but these are probably the most frequent. I hope I didn’t leave anyone out. I always worry when I do a post like this that I did.
Making the rounds and commenting on blogs is definitely time consuming. I used to make it a point to visit all of the bloggers that left comments on my blog but that got to be a bit overwhelming. So, I stopped.
I’m thinking of going back to doing this but if I don’t stop by every day, it doesn’t mean that I don’t want to read your blog, It just means there are only so many hours in one day and I just didn’t have the time today.
While we are on the subject, I would love to hear your thoughts on commenting. Do you try to visit every person’s blog that comments on your site? Do you reply to your comments with an email? Do you like when people reply to your blog comments that you leave with emails? What is your general commenting philosophy?
Oscar Party Recap
nuthouseshannon: Kate Winslet looks fabulous… as always!
iHeartStilettos: oh Kate, but you are so classy and beautiful!! Don’t be nervous!
patrice0×0x: Love Kate Winsletts speech! How sweet & genuine!
dailyjen: Favorite acceptance speech of the night goes to Kate Winslet!!
Honorable Mention for best dressed is a tie between Penelope Cruz and Freida Pinta. Although I wasn’t sure about either of these while I was watching them on tv, I really like them now that I am seeing them in photos. I think the detailing in both of these dresses is beautiful.
Worst Dressed:
tynie626: beyonce’s dress looked like old a** curtains!!
dailyjen: Tilda gets my vote for worst dressed of the night. This is just AWFUL!!!
tenakim: the fact that she always looks dead doesn’t help
Honorable Mention for worst dressed goes to Jessica Biel. She looks like she just got out of bed, wrapped the sheet around her and forgot to do her hair.
Now let’s take a look at some of the guys. First up, Robert Downey, Jr. He also wins my vote for best couple. I love him and his wife together. They are just so cute and seem like a genuinely happy couple.
3boys1mommy: RDJ looks HAWT!!!!
iHeartStilettos: I like RDJ better with a little scruff. He can “iron man” me anytime he wants….
ajsouthern: Wow. Robert Downey CAN clean up
While RDJr. did look incredibly handsome last night, he wasn’t the Robert that most women were waiting to see. I’m sure that the ratings for last night’s show were up due to the appearance of this Robert.
That would be none other than Robert Pattinson (aka Edward Cullen). The only problem was that his hotness seemed to render us speechless:
dailyjen: EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HappyHourSue: OMG Sp so so vampire-y and Edward-y
Who did you think was the best and worst dressed of the night? Favorite moments?
Friday Eye Candy: Oscar Edition
Announcement: If you haven’t already done so, make sure that you go and sign up for the Oscar Red Carpet Twitter party!!
____________________________________________________________
Just to get us in the mood for the big show on Sunday, here are some of my favorite Oscar red carpet guys from the past couple of years:
Not sure what Patrick Dempsey was doing at the Oscar’s last year, but he looked damn good doing it.
George Clooney was born to wear a tux.
Why does Johnny Depp always insist on wearing his collar over his bow tie and his hair in his face? Can Depp do no wrong in your eyes or do you think he is just one big hot mess?
My favorite Oscar man–Ryan Gosling!
If you look up the word “dashing” in the dictionary, you will find a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio walking the red carpet. I hope he shows up on Sunday to support Kate.
-Will you watch the Oscars on Sunday? If so, will you watch just for the fashion or are there any movies/actors/actresses that you hope win?
-If you were going to the Oscars on Sunday, what color dress would you wear and who would you pick to be your date?

A Letter to American Idol
Dear American Idol,
Last week you announced your top 36 contestants.
I’ve just about forgiven you for leaving Jamar Rogers off this list. I’m really not sure where your head was with that one, but I guess there is still a chance we may see him on the wild card show. I hope.
Alright, let’s talk about the girls. I have to tell you that I am not thrilled with any of them. I think you wasted way too much time on Bikini Girl and the other drama queens and I just don’t really have a good sense of who the talented females are in the group.
After tonight’s performance I’m wondering if there even are talented females in the group. So Tatiana is not as awful as we thought she was, and Alexis Grace (aside from her hideous hair, makeup and outfit) did well, but otherwise I wasn’t impressed at all. I won’t even begin to discuss the trainwreck that is Casey Carlson. Let’s just say that I had to cover my eyes during much of the performance to stop her from winking at me.
But what I’m really having a difficult time with is the fact that you threw in a contestant that we never got a chance to get to know in earlier auditions and Hollywood week. Or at least I don’t remember seeing him. Because I know that I would have remembered this guy if I heard him sing.
Who is this Ricky Braddy and where did he come from? I have no idea what he sung in previous rounds because I swear this is the first time I’ve ever heard him. Why did you guys hide him from us? I really don’t understand your reasoning on this. Why waste so much time on the people who didn’t make it? It just confuses us and doesn’t let us get to know people like Ricky who really are talented.
I do have another bone to pick with you, Idol. What is the deal with the new elimination rules? Why are you only letting the top female, top male and next highest vote getter advance to the next round? Isn’t this a bit extreme? Why put so many people through if you are just going to cut them all so quickly?
There are definitely three really great male singers that performed tonight. Danny blew me away with that Mariah Carey song. I just love his raspy voice. So sexy! I have been a fan of Anoop’s since the beginning and even though he didn’t totally bring it tonight with “Angel of Mine” I still want to see him again in future rounds. Then of course we have Ricky, who we’ve already talked about. I’d really like to have the chance to get to know him a little better, but because of your new elimination rules, I may not get the chance. One of these guys isn’t going to make it and that just doesn’t seem fair.
I understand the effort to try to mix things up a bit and keep the show current, but when you lose really great people in the process it is kind of defeating the purpose.
I’d just like to ask the producers to put down Paula’s the drugs you’ve been smoking and get your head in the game again.
Thanks,
A Frustrated Fan
PS Please put Neil Patrick Harris in your audience every single night. LOVE him!!!
Weekend Worth
Here’s how our Valentine’s Day added up:
Finding out there was a 3 hour wait at the Cheesecake Factory at 4:30 in the afternoon….$0
Deciding not to wait and getting sushi instead….$17
Candy and a bottle of water purchased beforehand and snuck into the theater….$3
Movie tickets to Slumdog Millionaire….$20
Getting carded for a rated R movie….PRICELESS
I think the ticket booth person must have been blind or on some really hard drugs because there is no way that I look under 17. I haven’t been carded for a movie since… EVER.
That definitely had to be the highlight of the weekend.
About the movie….Slumdog Millionaire is one of those movies that you just can’t stop thinking about after you leave the theater. It is very intense and there are some scenes that are really difficult to watch, but I have to say that I am so glad that I went to see it. It is a beautiful love story that deserves all the awards that it has been receiving.
Speaking of movies, don’t forget to sign up for the Twitter Oscar Red Carpet party!!
