A strip club in Las Vegas held a Sarah Palin lookalike contest last night, and as you might expect a bunch of women with brunete up-dos flaunted American flag bikini's, shot guns and Tina Fey glasses.

Watch the video at TMZ.

You Know, You Look Just Like...

Apparently, I have "one of those faces." Or so everyone likes to tell me. People I meet always tell me I look like someone. Strangely, more than a few people have told me I look like their best friend from elementary school (does that mean I have a baby face?) but most often, there are the celebrity comparisons. They have changed over the years, with my hair color and weight fluctuations. While they started as not so bad, there were a few years in there when I wanted to scream, and lately I've been really happy when someone says, "You know, you look a lot like...."

From about age 8 to 14, I had long, straight dirty blonde hair. I parted it down the middle and wore baggy t-shirts. I was always told I looked like Veda, from "My Girl," played by Anna Chlumsky.

As I got older, and a little fatter, a certain intern was sleeping with a president. So, especially considering I wore too much make-up at the time, it took me a few years to live down "a blonde Monica Lewinsky."

When I moved to New York at 18, I lost the hair and kept the weight. "The Osbournes" was incredibly popular on MTV and a comparison to Kelly was inevitable... and painful.

Eventually, I let my hair grow out, lost some weight and stopped wearing so much make-up. At that point, I had (and believe me, I counted) four people (including my chiropractor) told me I looked like Scarlett Johansson. I still treasure this comparison, and though don't see it, I'll take it!

Now that "Mad Men" is so popular, and I've taken to wearing red lipstick again I hear "Joan from Mad Men" (played by Christina Hendricks) at least twice a week. I'm obviously very okay with this comparison. But it's amazing what a hair style, the right make-up and a few pounds will do. I don't think I actually look(ed) like any of these people... well, except maybe Veda. Even I saw that one.

Who do you look like? Or who have you looked like over the years? The good, the bad and the ugly. Bring it.

How the Hell Did We Miss the Ashley Alexandra Dupre Lookalike Contest?

We can't believe no one told us about the Ashley Alexandra Dupre lookalike contest that happened in New York last night. Uncanny resemblance, right? That's what we thought. It's just too bad we didn't hear about it in time. We've been kicking ourselves ever since we woke up five minutes ago, brushed our short, red hair out of our pale, round face, rolled over and opened the computer to this:

Do you look like Ashley 'Kristen' Dupre? [ED Note: YES!!!!]

If you do - pleasure chest nightclub Headquarters New York wants to see you [last night].
The club, located on West 38th Street, will hold an "Ashley Dupre Look-alike Contest" tonight at 10 p.m. So, if you're feeling like a girl gone wild -- or a guy gone wild for that matter -- we'd like to see a drag version of the infamous call girl who felled Eliot Spitzer - anyway, the point is, show up at Headquarters tonight.

*Sigh* Now we'll never be famous.
