Entertainment: Celebrity Look A Likes


Guess Who?

    Queen Latifah
    Would you ever guess who this Grammy Award-winning, Academy Award-nominated hip-hop diva, born Dana Elaine Owens, is a dead ringer for? Go to the next page to see for yourself.

    We think she resembles a Tony Award-winning superstar, who, much like Latifah, diversified her career pursuits with gigs such as her own show and a major advertising campaign. Go to next page to see a match up.

    See what we mean?
    The one and only Pearl Bailey and Queen Latifah looks like they could've been separated at birth. If not that, then definitely from the same tribe. Bailey, who was awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1988, was one of the premier African-American celebrities of her heyday dating all the way back to the 1940s.

    Madonna
    Although there have been many copy cats of the Material Girl over the past twenty years, there's only one young lady who comes close to actually resembling her. Or at least that's what we think. Go to the next page to see for yourself.

    Known as one of the richest former child stars in the world, this 'Full House' star and her twin has been tabloid mainstays since blossoming into young women. Be it fashion choices, boyfriends or hard partying, she feels the fever sort of like Madge always does. Check out the match up next.

    See what we mean?
    It takes more than bleached blonde hair and a bad attitude to look like the one and only Madonna Louise Ciccone. Ashley Olsen looks like the spitting image of the versatile diva, who has a daughter who most likely grew up watching re-runs of the Olsen twins on the long running sitcom 'Full House.'

    Barack Obama
    Have box-office champ Will Smith tell it, he shares an uncanny likeness to the history making Democratic presidential candidate. But there's a rapper that has him beat in the Barack look-a-like department. Go to the next page to see for yourself.

    This trash-talking young rapper caused a media stir when, while dating a slinky, Latina 'Top Model,' he told a popular black gossip website that he doesn't like "dark skinned" women and referred to them as 'Dark Butts.' Check out the match up next

    See what we mean?
    If Obama would have a son, he may look like Yung Berg (real name: Christian Ward), who was born in Chicago 22 years ago. The Koch Records lyricist, who has collaborated with Ray J, Eve and Trey Songz, sold only 20,000 copies of his much-buzzed-about debut opus, 'Look What You Made Me.'

    Stacey Dash
    Some may be a bit 'Clueless' as to who could possibly look like this stunning 40-plus Bronx-bred actress? But there's a hot, young chanteuse that is storming the charts with a voice that rivals one of the great ones. Go to the next page to see who we're talking about.
