As you know, I’m really into The Bachelorette this season. Last night, while watching the newest episode, I realized that my husband looks a quite a bit like Kirk, one the bachelors on the show. Mal found it pretty amusing and acknowledged some of the similarities. He even started to call Kirk “Lam” (Mal spelled backwards)!
After receiving a few comments on CNC about Mal’s celebrity doppleganger, I knew that I needed to write a blog post about it. It was just too funny not to! No wonder I like The Bachelorette so much this season! š
Breakfast
For breakfast this morning, I made Chia Seed French Toast using the Chia Seed Quick Bread that I baked yesterday. I sliced up the loaf and let it marinate overnight in a mixture of egg, vanilla soymilk, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In the morning, I cooked the pieces on the stovetop in a skillet.
The bread was so thick and dense, it never really cooked through. The outside tasted great, but the inside wasn’t quite done. I might try baking the slices in the oven next time.
I also had some Stonyfield yogurt on the side and I’m rocking S’mores iced coffee with vanilla soymilk this morning. It’s a-mazing.
Question of the Day
Have you ever been told that you look like someone famous? Who’s your celebrity doppleganger?

He does look like him! I was always told I look like Leeza Gibbons?!
Was it the season finale of the Bachelorette? No, maybe that’s next week? I was watching those Crazy N.J. Real Housewives….I’m addicted.
Oh, I love this game! My friend Mike also looks like Kirk! Love the “Lam” nickname!
My best friend’s girlfriend doesn’t even know my real name (so he claims…), she just calls me Kristen Bell. lol…have I mentioned she’s my favorite one of all his girlfriends so far? š hahaha
That’s so funny! I can definitely see the similarities. Too bad you won’t be able to watch him much anymore since he’s gone now.
I’ve been told I look like Jaime Pressley many times.
Hmm…over the years I’ve gotten Tori Spelling (fail) and Daryl Hannah (yay!) more than once.
At first glance, I thought it was the same person! Too funny!
I get Kate from Lost and Kara from American Idol (the judge). When I’m blonde, I get Lauren Conrad, go figure.
A waiter told me I looked like Alyssa Milano once, but I think he was just fishing for a good tip (which I always give anyway). When I was 13 I was told quite a bit that I looked like Winnie from the Wonder Years. A woman even stopped me at the beach to tell me she thought that I was her all week until she got up close to me in the elevator. I had the straight dark brown hair and bangs cut straight across just like her.
Hahaha that is too funny! Mal has a bigger nose though š I haven’t been told I look like anyone… š I guess I’m just your typical Asian š
Wei-Wei
ive never been told i look like anyone but im guessing id get chris farley or jack black.. hmmm. not so hot.
that is so funny! he does have quite the look-a-like there!
i get someone quite often, but i do not see it. i’ll let you look and see…=0)
your french toast/pancakes always look so good, and inspire me to make the same. Mine, however, never turn out quite as tasty as yours look though!
This sounds stalkerish – but I’ve been reading your blog for so long, and seen so many pictures – that I think Mal also looks like Owen from Grey’s Anatomy (Kevin McKidd). Google him, I bet you’ll see a similarity.
Julia Louis-Dreyfuss. I tell myself it’s the new her and not Elaine!!!!!!!!!!
I actually thought that all season as I watch that show. I didn’t say anything cause I figure I am reading blogs too much if I start watching shows and say “hey, that looks like Tina’s husband”..ha.
what is in the dish by the toast? yogurt?
Haha, I like Mal’s somewhat bemused expression in that photo. š
When I was younger people would tell me that I looked like a brunette Kate Hudson. I’m not gonna lie, no one tells me that anymore and it kinda hurts! I also get Alexis Bledel (the girl who played the daughter on Gilmore Girls) fairly often.
Tina– who do people say you look like? I think you look like Hillary Swank. š
haha exactly what I said to you last night!! they do look so similar! mal is cuter š hehe
umm I havent really been told I look like any celeb!
I never get celeb look-alikes… though I have a friend that looks just like Jennifer Gardner… like, gets stopped in public and asked for autographs… that’s kinda fun š
@Megan (Braise The Roof): Really? That’s a first! I get Kate Beckinsale a lot.
Lam – haha! I’ve been told I look like Kristin Kreuk. We do have the same first name! Though I think she’s much prettier!
Your soft serve yesterday gave me inspiration for my oatmeal today. I mashed a white chocolate macadamia cookie and mixed it into my oats – yummy!
hehe aww that’s cute they really do look alike. I’ve been told i look like Zooey Deschanel, more so when i have brown hair. i don’t think i do but its nice that people think so.
Too funny! I’ve been told I look like Julia Roberts and Rebecca/Ava from Grey’s Anatomy, Elizabeth Reaser. These kind of things always make you feel good! š
Wow-Mal does look like Kirk!
Your french toast sounds/looks awesome. I have the same problem with french toast, though. It never cooks all the way through on the stove top.
Do you watch Desperate Housewives? I think Mal looks exactly like the neighbor Lee!
When I’m dressed up, my husband says I look like Charlize Theron!
And OMG, S’mores coffee?! I just checked out your OpenSky shop and think I am going to have to order some!
I NEED s’mores coffee!
I get a few people who said Cameron Diaz. However when I got my DL back in 2007 my family kept saying I looked a lot like someone famous but couldn’t put their finger on. Who knows?? BTW, Mal really does look like that guy!!!
now im totally in the mood for french toast š
I’ve been told by a bunch of people I look like Rachel McAdams. I don’t really see it but I think shes beautiful so I’ll take it!
He really does look like him. I’ve been watching all season long as well. I’ve been told Rachel Ray and Sophia Vergara.
The only person I’ve been told I look like is LeAnn Rymes… ;P
I’m loving the bachelorette this season, too! I’ve never watched it before but I’m totally hooked! I only got to watch half of it on hulu this morning and I almost stopped reading this post because I was scared you were going to say who went home! I can’t wait to watch the rest when I got home š
Nope, and I have to agree. There aren’t any famous people that I look like!
I LOVE the Bachelorette, although I haven’t been able to watch it on DVR yet, because NCAA 2010 came out today and my boyfriend took off work to play…oh, boys.
Love your blog!
Hmmm… I’ve gotten Carolyn Bessette a few times!
I don’t look like anyone famous, but everyone who knows me says that Lady Gaga is my long lost soul mate. I can be extreme and I love her glam, performance art style.
This was quite a few years ago now, but my cousin related a story of walking through a video store with her dad/my uncle, and upon seeing a cutout of Nicole Kidman my uncle exclaimed ‘That girl looks like *JavaChick*!’ which I thought was funny. Come to think of it, someone else made a Nicole Kidman comment once. I don’t see it myself, I suspect it’s the pale complexion and red hair.
Mal does looks like Kirk!! When I was younger I was told I looked like Meg Ryan and Reese Witherspoon.. since my hair was lighter and shorter. I’ve gotten the Reese Witherspoon a few times as I got older, but I really don’t think I look like either of them or any celebrity really!
I’ve gotten Anna Kournikova, Blake Lively and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. Can’t complain about any of those!!
i aaaaaaaaallllllllways get amanda seyfried (mean girls, dear john, etc)..i mean like 2x a week. it’s so crazy
Haha they do look a lot alike! These are the ones I always get, Katie Holmes circa Dawson’s Creek Days and Amanda Bynes. I have no problem with either one of them either!
sometimes people tell me i look like kate hudson.
just wondering about mal’s name…is it short for something?
I’ve been told I resemble Gillian Anderson aka Scully from the X-files. I’m not mad at it š
Aww, Lam went home last night. Were you not dying at the freezer in the basement?! I woke Pea Daddy up I was laughing so hard.
I get Kate Beckinsdale a lot. Mostly by visually impaired people. In the dark.
How funny! People have told me I look like Kate from Lost š haha
I often here Cameron Diaz, at least once a week!
Whit and I have both been told that we look like Lindsay Lohan…. YUCK!
Teens Eat
Holy cow! They do look just alike!! I am a huge Bachelorette fan as well. š I get Carrie Underwood literally everywhere I go, ever since she was on American Idol! Which is fine by me b/c I love her!
that is AWESOME! š
Kirk is my favorite from the Bachelorette! I’m never told I look like a celebrity but I always get told I look like someone someone knows. I guess I have a lot of twins out there
I’ve been told on separate occasions that I look like an anime girl. Evidently I have very large eyes, a smallish mouth, and an angular chin? My friend recently told me I resemble Amy Adams. I was amused. š
When I was a teenager and pretty round, I got Natalie from The Facts of Life… grew up, lost weight, and now I get Reese Witherspoon sometimes, but that’s just because of the chin. š
thats so funny about mal looking like kirk from the bachelorette!
i have always been told i look like janeane garofalo and because of that i started watching all her movies and stand up, in middle school or so, and started to imitate her speech pattern and dry humor, but not really on purpose, wish i resembled some of the other celebs listed though.
I can definitely see the resemblance!
When I was younger, I was constantly told I looked like Winnie Cooper from the Wonder Years (I think her real name is Danica ?) As I’ve gotten older, I’ve heard references from Alicia Silverstone to Jessica Alba. It’s always funny to hear someone else’s take on your body doubles! haha
