Billy Zane + Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep – Celebrity Doppelgangers
No, all bald men do not look the same to us. But when they're as ruggedly handsome as Billy Zane and Arnold Vosloo, it can be a little harder to distinguish them from Mr. Clean. In fact, if they had earrings and held cleaning products, we'd be completely lost.

Dumb Celebrity Quotes – Who Said This?
There's a reason supermodels aren't usually Mensa members, and that's because they're hired for how nice they look in panties -- not necessary their smarts. This Canadian beauty was once quoted as saying, "I don't diet. I just don't eat as much as I'd like to...
