Black/White, Celebrity edition.

You know, the standard of beauty in the entertainment industry is very, very narrow.

It is so narrow, in fact, that only a few faces are good enough to make the cut. A few recycled looks even work in black and white.

Witness Natascha McElhone of Ronin and Solaris, and Tracee Ellis Ross of “Girlfriends” and La Diana’s womb:

Natty McE Tracee Ellis Ross

Not convinced?

Ditto. Much better.

Sanaa Lathan is lovely, isn’t she? Button nose, toothy grin, impish twinkle in her eyes, penchant for playing a black-clad vamp/ass-kicking femme fatale. Calls to mind…Kate Beckinsale!

Adorable. My, what nice teeth you have!

AND HOW ABOUT THESE TWO?!?!?!

Oh, my bad. Wrong topic entirely.

Your turn! Two celebs with the same face, but they have to be different ethnicities. Aaaand GO!

    I got one! Lynn Whitfield and Sharon Stone. I’ve always thought that they looked alike.

  2. 2 Cat

    Me too! Me too! Thandie Newton and Gwyneth Paltrow.

    It is to funny how much those celebrities resemble each other.

    damn, this whole time i thought solange was just orlando jones in drag. and all those rumors of “solange” joining destiny’s child was just … wow. at a loss. for words. my my.

    I am, however, loving Sanaa Lathan on nip/tuck. and it has nothing to do with the fact her character was married to my truck, larry hagman.

    oops, i wrote something and then managed to delete it.

    it was about nose jobs and brow lifts making everyone look alike anyway.

    but i nominate kate hudson and jennifer lopez -
    both have different noses than they used to, in my opinion-
    kate post almost famous and j lo after selena. but they still have a similar look.

    check it out here and here!

    You’re so right!!! There are only a few faces in Hollywood: the brunette guy, the blonde guy, the blonde chick, the brunette chick, the brown woman, the brown man, and J-Lo.

    I told one of my exes that I think “Smith” (Jason Lewis) from Sex and the City is hot. My ex said, “Yeah, but you’ve always liked Paul Walker.” When I told him that Paul Walker is a different person from Jason Lewis *AND* neither of those guys is Gabriel Aubry, he didn’t believe me. And, to this day, I *still* think he doesn’t really believe me.
