Shit Lookalikes: Princess Jasmine from Aladdin and Sara from the Apprentice

I believe it was Nancy Banks Smith in the Guardian who pointed out this likeness, and there's definitely something there, isn't there? Does that make Sir Alan the genie? Or Jafar? Poor Sara got the boot on yesterday's show, so would probably err on the side of Jafar. Well, hang in there, kid, one day your prince will come.

Shit Lookalikes: Sir Alan and a kiwi fruit

Can you see it, too? Tell me you can see it. Well, watch for it tonight, when the team will be selling wedding dresses, and Raef dresses up as a giant bear. Say what you like about Sir Alan, you'd never catch him dressing up as a bear. Hedgehog, maybe. Exotic fruit? Definitely. He's succulent, slightly sour, and rich (in vitamin C).

Shit Lookalikes: Olivia Colman and Rachel from the Nancys

Funny lady and Peep Show star Olivia, or Rachel, popular irish Nancy? Which is the best similar-faced lady? Come on, Rachel fans, if you exist... Olivia's nice. I could've said she looked like a Doctor Who monster or something couldn't I? But no, I did the decent thing and compared her to someone who was jilted by David Mitchell on a grimy Channel 4 comedy show.

Shit Lookalikes: Kym Ryder and Jennifer McGuire

I'm sorry, but this is just creepy. The dark bob, the embarrassed little smile, the penchant for using reality shows to boost their careers... Could Kym and Jennifer be related? I think we should be told.

Shit Lookalikes: the young Kelly Brook and the Scarlet Pimpernel from Blackadder III

Not that Kelly Brook isn't young, of course (too young to get married anyway, apparently!) But pictures have come to light of the young Kelly, and I must admit to finding the spectacle a little creepy. Look at this as my way of dealing with the fear.

Shit Lookalikes: Carol Vorderman and Dannii Minogue

car.jpgdan11.jpg

Vintage Carol in particular, I think, comes to mind when looking at the latest Minogue family transformation. The shiny-faced Australian has succumbed to the pressure of the fringe which has been sweeping, tidal-wave-like, over the national forehead of late. But what do you think? Does she wear it well? Or is it, perhaps, the clothes that are the real problem here?

Shit Lookalikes: Paul Daniels and Graham Norton

Don't get me wrong, I'm the world's biggest Graham Norton fan. I think he's excellent and I loved it when, at the Baftas, he told DS that life would get its revenge on Piers Morgan, because "tomorrow he'll wake up and he'll still be Piers Morgan". But lately Graham has started to remind me slightly of someone. Just a bit, you know. Not a lot.

Shit Lookalikes: Jonny from I'd Do Anything and Nigel Havers

Is it wrong that I can't stop seeing Oliver hopeful Jonny as a young Nigel Havers, cropped-out blonde woman notwithstanding? Does this make me a bad person? You'd think I'd be beyond questions of conscience by now, after comparing other Olivers to, respectively, Anne Widdecombe and Bill Oddie. Put that way, I think Jonny got off lightly. Don't know about you, but I can't wait to find out who I'm going to decide all the others look like.

Shit Lookalikes: Amanda Holden and one of the Witches

witch.jpgahol.jpg

Yes, I realise this is Harsh As but they don't pay me to scatter rose petals in front of their feet, you know. The fact is, Holden's done something to her face. She's always crying on Britain's Got Talent - but the face, the face... it isn't moving. Seriously, it's like looking at one of those miracle statues of the Virgin Mary. Sometimes I think if I was a child she would frighten me a bit. Which is why she reminds me a bit of one of the scary witch ladies on the brilliant 1990 film The Witches.

Shit Lookalikes: Arthur Oliver and the young Bill Oddie

billo.jpgart.jpg

Now I'm not one for doing surprising comparisons for the sake of it, as you know, but this one really leaped out at me. You young things won't remember, but in his pre-springwatch days, Bill Oddie had a long and respectable career as a comedian. And he was quite a sweet-looking feller. Fresh-faced, bright little eyes. Yes, he was just like Arthur, the latest Oliver to get through to the finals. The implication is, of course, that Arthur might grow up to look like Bill. Still, could be worse. He could look like a young Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Shit Lookalikes: Chloe Lattanzi and Marylin Manson

chl.jpgmma.jpg

OK so she felt abandoned by her mother, Olivia Newton John. But that's no excuse for taking a photo of Marylin Manson in to the plastic surgeon. Chloe's in the news today because she's been bemoaning her latch-key childhood on MTV's reality show Rock The Cradle. "My mum travelled a lot, so I think I missed out a lot when I was younger." Hmm. On the other hand, your mum is Olivia Newton John. Lattanzi is competing for a recording contract alongside the children of Dee Snider, Kenny Loggins, Bobby Brown, Eddie Money and MC Hammer, among others. Oh, and she looks like Pete Burns here. (Hey, I think Pete Burns is hot. It's a compliment.)

Shit Lookalikes: Audrey Hepburn and Coleen McLaughlin

In the run-up to her wedding, Miss McLaughlin is working hard to be seen as a serious piece of class. At least, that's my explanation for this extraordinary new picture of her dressed up as Holly Golightly. What do you think? Does she cut it as a Hepburn lookalike? Or was it all a big mistake, highlighting her shortcomings? Golightly or Goawayly?
