Name
That Celebrity!
I suspected that last month may be too easy if I
included that the singer in the second picture sang backup for The Freak
Formerly Known As Michael Jackson. Judging by the overwhelming number
of correct entries, it look like I was right. Oh, well, them's the
breaks. For the few that didn't guess them correctly, the mystery
celebrities were...
Mystery Celebrity
#1: ALANIS MORRISETTE
Mystery Celebrity
#2: SHERYL CROW
Sheryl had some damn big hair didn't she? How
the heck did she get that through doorways? Though that particular quandary
remains unanswered, her identity and that of the teeny-bopper Alanis
posed no problem for the first correct guesser...
Shawn!
Yup, just Shawn. Like Cher, except
that he's a guy and has fewer costume changes. As for the rest of
the correct guessers, the next nine in order were Vanessa Cordero,
KellyAnn
Hagendoorn (an amazingly consistent winner), Allison,
Susan
Sundsbak, Barry Benintende, Bcatc19, MOrab,
Jennifer
Morgan, and Carrie Blacker.
vvv
On to this month's contest. As usual, I give
you either a picture of a celebrity from early in their life or career
with some completely different look or I disguise a current picture.
You then have to tell me who the celebrity in question is. Simple
enough? Of course.
This time we go back to those horrible high school
pictures and hopefully I picked two that will be a challenge.
So, tell me, who are the two celebrities who'd
like to forget these photos were taken?
Mystery Celebrity
#1:
Mystery Celebrity
#2:
Only hint this time is that one is a singer
and one is an actress. In fact, even that is probably too much information.
Pretend I didn't write it.

THANKS!)
As usual, THE FIRST PERSON to send
me the correct answer for both gets a hearty virtual handshake and
pat on the back...and their name featured in the next column. The
next nine just get their name in the column. Sure, it's a subtle
difference, but those yellow letters don't come cheap. Good Luck!
Did
Ya Know?
This month's tidbit concerns a haircut that didn't
actually happen. If you remember a couple of columns ago, the Did
Ya Know? was on Nancy Allen's haircut to portray a future cop in "RoboCop"
and I said that she should be thankful that she didn't have James Cameron
as a director, since, in "Aliens", he had
the women in his Space Marines get crewcuts.
 Apparently,
James believes that women with buff bods look more convincing with short
hair. Case in point, "Terminator 2",
starring his future ex-wife LINDA
HAMILTON. According to the backstory, in the time
period between when the first and second movies take place, Linda's character,
Sarah Conner had been confined to a mental institution. Sarah makes
good use of her time while confined, exercising herself into phenomenal
shape and quite the muscular physique.
 
At the time, Linda's blonde hair was quite long,
falling to midback. James wanted her to cut it short, thinking that
it would be more in tune with the character's new harder, aggressive look
and attitude. Linda refused, saying that shearing her long locks
to crop would make the character appear much too masculine and too much
of a departure from her initial portrayal of Sarah in the original "Terminator".
Thankfully, Linda won out, since 1) her character
would have looked WAY too butch with a short cut and 2) she looked terrific
with the long hair.
By the way, as you probably know, James and
Linda have gone their separate ways, with James abandoning Linda for Suzy
Amis (the granddaughter in "Titanic").
I guess it's vaguely ironic that Suzy has just recently finally regrown
her red hair very long after cutting it short from extremely long a few
years back. What the heck am I talking about? Wait until next
month.
