From Dr. John. You may not know it, but you have a celebrity double. Everyone does. It’s not something you can control or influence. It doesn’t matter if you agree. Your celebrity double may not be particularly famous, the same gender as you, or even a human, but your double is out there, doing whatever it is that celebrity doubles do, just waiting to be identified.
Sadly (or perhaps quite impressively?), I seem to have an unprecedented ability to identify these synergies. Take a look at my personal archive for evidence. Now, I don’t make the rules or create the parings. Your celebrity doubles are mandated by a being far more powerful than me. My role is to simply point out the truth through conveniently positioned thumbnails like the ones below.
Coincidentally, my science and engineering friends have provided a wonderful array of case studies for celebrity doubles both real and imaginary: a) Jackie, ocean conservationist, and actress Christina Ricci, b) Uday, a neuroscientist, and New Orleans Governor Bobby Jindal, c) Brian, neuroscientist and Shrek, and d) Brandon, a computer engineer, and Olympic swimmer, Michael Phelps. Celebrity doubles, like scientists and non-scientists, come in all shapes and sizes. And sometimes it clearly takes a little creativity to make them apparent.
But, even I’m having a bit of hard time coming up with a celebrity double for our very own Science Cheerleader. Surely, Shrek won’t make the cut this time, but there must be someone (or something) out there to do her justice.
It’s a classic case of Celebrity Double Trouble, and I need your help! Any ideas? (Free T-shirt if we select your idea!)
Heather Graham?
I always thought you looks an awful lot like Jerri Ryan (aka 7 of 9 from Star Trek Voyager).
Science Cheerleader’s celebrity double is absolutely Kristen Bell.

Perhaps Helen Hunt?
Jackie, that is awesome! You have a real natural ability for celebrity double-ing.
Bart, Bob, Jeff: can you guys provide links to the images of the people?
Shrek is a handsome man.
I think YOU are Reese Witherspoon’s…now, she might not be happy about that, but there is my 2cents! hee, hee
I think Connie Colla looks like you. : ) http://www.linkedin.com/in/conniecolla
I’d take Reese Witherspoon over Shrek any day! (no offense Brian)
Apparently I need to back up my assertion with pictures. Here are a couple of Dar-ish Heather Graham pics:

Bart, Chris: good stuff. I am starting to think that I might not be as good at this as I thought!
