So true!
Lol when I first saw her cd in a starbucks I said the exact same thing. I thought it was jennifer aniston at first, I said “when the heck did she start.. oh thats not her wow they look just alike.”
OMG, WTF, BBQ, ISAOA, ASL! No, they really don’t look alike at all.
Well, if you say they don’t, then obviously it’s completely wrong.
Are you f**king kidding meee?!!!
Racist.
Lolz
“Singer Colbie Caillat totally looks like actor Jennifer Aniston”
Surly it should be actress?
Not unless you want to be politically incorrect.
That’s not politically incorrect or correct, it is grammatically incorrect. Actress refers to women, actor refers to men.
yeah, but then does that mean we should refer to female doctors as doctresses? female police officers as police officeresses? female teachers as teacheresses? oy the list goes on and on…
i act, am a female, and quite prefer the title ‘actor’. what i have between my legs and my preferred gender has nothing to do with my title as actor, imo.
No, because the words are etymologically different. “Actor” is not formed simply by taking the verb “act” and adding a suffix to convert it to a noun, an analogous process English has taken to using for creating job titles or human descriptors in general. There are certain words in English which have, in their origins, masculine and feminine forms – actor and actress, steward and stewardess, master and mistress (though “mistress” has undergone some pejoration and so changed from its original meaning). There are other words which don’t have such forms, and so we are under no obligation to snatch up that rule and apply it across the board.
You might as well say that because we pluralize “cactus” as “cacti” we have to pluralize every other word with an i, too.
“Actor is not formed simply by taking the verb “act” and adding a suffix”
Um, yeah it is. It’s the same as director, conductor, benefactor, objector, elector, and about a billion other verbs that end in “ct”. When referring to a person (or thing) who performs the action, you add the suffix “or” to the verb. “Actress” is not a special circumstance, just an antiquated term.
Regardless, they do look a lot alike — no doubt intentional on Caillat’s part. I would never have given her CD a second glance without the resemblance.
“Actor is not formed simply by taking the verb “act” and adding a suffix”
Yes, it’s actually taking an anglicised Norman French suffix and applying it to anglo-saxon words denoting occupation. For several centuries the British Isles were under Norman occupation. Indeed several Kings of England in the early years didn’t even speak English. Frnech was the lingua franca (literally) for England and much of the official business was done in French. As such, while most -or words at one time had the -ess/-rix applied to the end, most have fallen into disuse as England has returned to native governance.
Howver, due to the official capacity of Norman French, titles, especially legal and governmental titles, have retained their old gendered spellings. Actor at one point refered to anyone who did anything, or acted. It shifted in modern usage to be mostly in reference to the stage/screen arts. But even today actor is used in the legal world to refer to the party taking action. As a result, it has been one of the words that retained its form.
As to whether or not it should stay that way, there’s a permanent debate going on in linguistics circles regarding when a linguistic change crosses over from bad spelling or grammar to a true linguistic shift. I guess my point in saying that is if people who do it for a living can’t draw a nice clean line in the sand that everyone agrees on, it’s not likely to be resolved here.

Yes, if you’re surly or living in the early 18th century, it should be ‘actress’ only. Otherwise, if you’re talking about a person (New Oxford American Dictionary) who performs on the stage or screen, actor is just fine. Unless you don’t consider women people of course…
Thing is, any other picture of this Colbie Caillat person doesn’t look like Jen, just that one CD cover. Weird.
Perhaps they have the same surgeon
Haha awesome!
They look nothing alike! Colbie is “cute”, Jennifer is “beautiful”!
Actually, both of them are cute AND beautiful!
I was waiting for this one. We sell the CD at my Barnes and Noble and when I first saw it I thought, “Jennifer Aniston put out a CD?”
No. No she doesn’t. And even if she did, isn’t this “funny lookalikes”? And also, could you have picked a crappier photo of aniston? lol
Yeah they look totally alike. Well except for their eyes (shape and color), lips, nose, chin, teeth size and cheek bone structure. Otherwise they are clones.
It really bothers you that much??
Wow.
That said, you are hardly the only one expressing this opinion, so this comment is equally directed at everyone else having kittens over the fact that they don’t look alike in their opinion.
No.
You know what?
Jennifer Aniston is so Hot And Sexy.
Why the hell does she have such relationship problems? John Mayer, Brad Pitt, Vince Vaughn? Come on. Maybe I have to hunt her down. She Is a Sexy Woman!!!
wow… to the actress girl up there, you have issues (yeah, thats right. i said actress) since when does referring to as an actress and not an actor have anything to do with “whats in between your legs” thats stupid and you’re just trying to make a big deal out of nothing. acotr/actress… who cares. it
s not like calling you an actress implies that you can’t act or you’re ot as good as men. it’s just a word. actor generally refers to men and actress to women. get over it.
One on the left is much hotter and younger, I would definately tap that!
I have always thought these two looked alike! When I bought the CD I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Thats crazy! Whoever did this I give mega props to you!
YESSSSSSSSS
yeessss!!!!! only i like J.A. more,
omg in marley and me i thought jen was colbie
samee they look totally the same except colbies younger
LOL! I immediately thought of Jennifer Aniston when I saw her video. I was thinking “When did Jennifer Aniston start singing?”
Again, LOL. Excellent website!
I have been saying this since the beginning of time. LOL they are twins..don’t really CARE if people don’t agree.
omg I thought I was the only one that thought that!!! glad to know I the only one =]
This is so true. I thought this every time I saw Colbie’s CD in Starbucks.
