Jelly-era Flaming Lipster Wayne Coyne and often befuddled Sam Rockwell. I'm so sorry Sam. It's just cause you're often befuddled. Someone will apologize for 1993. Someday.

I dunno, maybe it's the hair?

I almost didn't think to post this since I kind of thought they were the same person. Inconsiderate Cell Phone Man Rob Huebel and Mr. Show's Bob Odenkirk.

This caricature of singer Sam Mayo might have inspired both Pee-wee and Jambi, but mostly Jambi. With the whole disembodied head thing.

Jude Law is turning into Phil Collins. We're not even going to say how this makes our 15 year old selves feel. But Seriously...

Nothing says party down Laura Ingalls Wilder-style like Gozer the Gozerian and some hell hounds; thus Prairie Vodka and its ad campaign was born. Are you the keymaster?

The Dude, understandably, is Brad Pitt's fall fashion inspiration. An inspiration to us all, really.

I know: wtf, right? But Uma is totally Peggy.

PS: Uma, are you supposed to be playing a humanities professor in that outfit?

Are we sure we know which one of these women shot Andy Warhol? It was clearly Carrie Brownstein all along since we know Lili Taylor is secretly blind. Hence that jacket.

We're so sorry vampire bat, but you kinda look like Henry Waxman.

Mike D, are you secretly the Ice Truck Killer?

It's Lou Reed day at Secretly Twins! Here he is using a negative of an image of Frankenstein's monster for his Transformer album cover.

This all started when my friend Matt suggested Ira Glass and Anthony Bourdain. What do either of those gentlemen have to do with Lou Reed and Frankenstein?, you ask. Well, because Lou Reed is also clearly Anthony Bourdain, that's what!

You're not off the hook yet, Ira Glass!

Was the creation of Amy Winehouse inspired by the cartoon version of Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice?

I previously thought that Bratz dolls were damaging our young girls by giving them unreasonable expectations of head size.  Lil' Kim proves those expectations are perfectly reasonable.

Relatedly, Niani also spotted this doll-to-human secret twin, involving J.Lo and another Bratz.

I did not recognize that woman as J. Lo.  I thought she was your kinda rich and kinda trashy friend's mom.  Le sigh.  This brings us NO CLOSER to concluding The Great J. Lo Debate of 2003: Trashy v. Classy!  Nice digits, camera guy.  

Niani: does growing up in SanMo make you a natural twinspotter?

There's just something about Green Day drummer Tre Cool that makes me think he might have been the inspiration for Kyle's mom.

I know! When I saw President Bush's ambassador to Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad in the NYTimes, I thought, "That's Ralph Nader!" too.

Upon further investigation, it turns out that Ralph Nader, even at a strapping 17 (shown below in 1912), looked like a slightly ancient Harrison Ford.
Ralph Nader has ALWAYS BEEN OLD!

Pope Benedict XVI and this thing from a Star Wars movie. I haven't seen that Star Wars business and avoid all things papal, but I'm sure they are both lovely men.
Janet Napolitano and Liza Minnelli

This is not a secret twin. It just happens to be the best Microsoft clip art ever. It comes up with the search term "radio." You're welcome.
PC Paul Allen and PC John Hodgeman

Russell Crowe used to look like Mickey Rourke, and now he looks like Eddie Vedder.  (I know, a post that includes Mickey Rourke and nothing is said about how he currently looks like Nick Nolte's mug shot?  I must be going soft.)

A jaw as square as Yao Ming's could only have been crafted by Lego.

Architect of war Paul Wolfowitz and the tiny Nazi leader from The Blues Brothers, Henry Gibson. And this mouse.
Quasimodo and Nathan Lane.

Ice Cube looks an awful lot like some Chinook art.
I like David Gregory. But what is it? The eyebrows? The generally gray color? The size 16 nostrils on a size 9 face? Whatever it is, he sure looks like that donkey from Shrek.
