It all happened at Fox Studios in an explosion of chestnut curls and cheekbones not seen since the heyday of the Osmonds. Rachel Bilson (of O.C. fame) came and sat in the audience to support American Idol’s Katharine McPhee (with whom she had apparently gone to high school — who knew!).
It was right then and there that I stopped obsessing about all those interchangeable blond mannequins (who never return my calls anyway), and returned to my first love: chipmunk-cheeked brunettes, as exemplified by (from top to bottom) Katie Holmes (sniff); Big Love’s Ginnifer Goodwin, and — kicking it old school — everyone’s favorite girl midget, Sally Field. Say it with me, people: Aw. She purdy.

Sally Fields isnt just another “purdy” face. Check out her turn as Abby’s Pi-Polar mother on ER. She made Blythe Danner on Huff look like she could use a few lessons from ole’ Norma Rae. And last but not least I like, I really Really liked her in “Places in the Heart” (oh ok, can’t help myself…Sybal, not that was not anoyther pudy face). Blonde may not equate dumb but at times…brunette does equal talent, winning talent.(and when you’re a winner I’m sure you ain’t a’lackin for fun)
not a faithful american idol or o.c. watcher i honestly dont know which one is rachel bilson and which one is katherine mcphee. and that picture of a younger sally field could easily be one of katie holmes from dawsons creek days. mega creepy.
Once again, we focus on beauty instead of substance.
Wow, I didn’t realize how much Mandy Moore looks exactly like Sally Fields. I seriously thought it was MM in the bottom picture.
On the fan sites Katharine has been compared to almost every brunette in Hollywood. So this gave me a bit of a chuckle.
Katharine is a beautiful girl therefore it was no surprise that the camera was in love with her the other night.
Katherine also looks like a young Leslie Ann Warren.
Any discussion of “chipmunk-cheeked brunettes” must include Valerie Bertinelli!
Katharine is beautiful and she can sing! She’s my favorite on AI.
Any discussion about chipmunked-cheeked brunette bombshells must also include
Sandra Bullock
Linda Carter
Demi Moore B.G.I.J. (Before G.I. Jane)
Jennifer Connelly (circa “Labrynth” era)
Mariah Carey (circa 1996)
Salma Blair
Neve Campbell (I miss her, where the hell has she been?)
Sarah Michelle Gellar (circa 1995 – the end of her Emmy-winning “All My Chil’renz” run)
etc. etc. etc…
I must be traversing the Food Network too much. I was wondering why you were posting all these pics of Rachael Ray.
Must we be subjected to even more coverage of the ultra-bland Katharine McPhee?
I thought that bottom picture was Mandy Moore, too! I am so sick of “McPheever”. I thought her celebration when she found out she was in the top group last night was obnoxious and uncalled for. I hope she’s in the bottom group next time- she needs a taste of humble pie.
Her teeth are also looking a little yellow next to Rachel Bilson’s pearly whites. Crest White Strips anyone?!
JS seems to have Katharine and Rachel mixed up, Katharine is the one in the picture with the pearly white teeth.
JS, Katharine is the one on the left, Rachel on the right. I think you need your eye sight checked if you think Katharine is the one who needs the Crest Whitestrips in that pic.
I get a laugh out of the lengths people go to, to put the contestants from American Idol down.I guess we can say that Kellie, Taylor, and Paris all need to eat some humble pie too from their actions last night on Idol.
RACHEL RAY. She looks *exactly* like Rachel Ray!
I was going to say Rachael Ray too! She totally fits in this group. Brunettes are beautiful.
katharine has been my favourite since the first auditions. she’s gorgeous and has a fantastic voice…i heart her.
Come to think of it, there’s a little of Rachel McAdams in there, too.
I’m thinking Rachael Ray could go in this group as well. I had to do a double take.
Great as they both look (I don’t watch AI or OC, but DAMN!!), the best of the chipmunk-cheeked brunettes right now is Mandy Moore. For proof, I offer up the cover shot of her on Cosmo, which almost got me to buy the magazine.
It’s absolutely hilarious to me when people try to insult someone and then get the two people mixed up LOL They’re both gorgeous. And I’ve always (well, since Big Love started) said that Ginnifer Goodwin looks like a mix between Rachel and Katharine.
Rachel Ray is NOT attractive. She is built like a fire hydrant.
For those of you who keep getting them confused. Katharine is the one WITH the white teeth!
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this already, but I always thought Katharine could pass for Catherine Zeta-Jones’s younger sister.
K, everyone’s forgetting Kelly Clarkson before she went blonde!! Hello? The girl looks just like Katharine Mcphee, except a little more roundfaced..plus, Rachael Ray is officially what Kelly Clarkson will look like in 15 years. Seriously, think about it.
And it’s RachAEl not RachEl.
must be a slow news day…only one post and it is 2:37 in the afternoon. Well perhaps I’ll just break my own news and say Kim Basinger may become a ‘24′ series regular next season! Interesting idea indeed.
I can’t believe all the talk is about McPhever and Summer, Ginnifer Goodwin is the hottest of all of them.
I’m with Tim. Isn’t there anything else to talk about today? What about the return of Alias last night… (I wanted to love it, but it kind of sucked.)
Wow, same eyes, hair, smile (teeth color not included). Where is this high school? Are they still breeding chipmunk-cheeked brunettes?
to nojohnson: sorry but it has to be said that Kelly Clarkson looks just like Katherine McPhee– noooooo way…even when she had brown hair(which i preferred). i don’t want to get specific because i love kelly’s music, but the girl’s not as classically beautiful as kelly.
anyways, had to get that off my chest.
on a side note- agree with posts about the inclusion of mandy moore!
