"That pug nose… those chubby cheeks. It has to be Christina Ricci," PopWatcher Kelly Morgan said, quite emphatically, and then added, "My second guess would be Lars Ulrich… who knew those two were twins?"
Who knew indeed! Hold on to your hats, people! Even though approximately 98 percent of you thought it was Ricci, it’s in fact a childhood snap of one Lars Ulrich, the drummer for Metallica.
Kudos to Kelly for getting the right answer (sort of) — because not many of you did.
"That absolutely has to be Lars Ulrich from Metallica, said Ed Gandolf (is that your real name, or are you a Ringer?). "I drew that face enough times during my teen years to know it anywhere. It also helps he still looks pretty much the same." All that sketching paid off, Ed — you were one of only a dozen PopWatchers who knew the answer.
Your prize: You are all cordially invited to a Some Kind of Monster-style videotaped group-therapy session. (All words and images are the sole property of Popwatch.) And we shall rawk. And make headbanger-like finger gestures. And watch the "Enter Sandman" video over and over and over again, especially the part where the 18-wheeler hits the little boy’s bed because that part is some fine music-video imagery always gives me nightmares rawks!
