Miquita Oliver, deconstructing Alex Parks (and the lookalikes therein)
Now Playing: Popworld, Sat 10.30am, Channel 4
Topic: Pop
Oh, Miquita, you are so lovely, and I especailly like the way you diss the pop stars you have on your show, such as Alex Parks who you rightfully predict will bomb in the charts with her new single. What show did she find fame on again? Wifeswap? (erm, not likely, unless they were doing a same sex edition of the show...)

Speaking of Alex Parks, there was a very convincing lookeelikiee of her in the Rescue Rooms (Nottingham's premier indie club) when I was up visiting Jen Studs and Simon Danger Powers (so-called due to his uncanny likeness of the Mike Myers spy spoof franchise) a couple of years back, and there were several Avril Lavigne's, and even a female Bill Bailey (sans beard, unfortunately).

However, the best lookeelikee of all was the female Michael Winner, who was actually some old French bag lady in Paris, and not Nottingham at all, funnily enough.

Interestingly, there was a French street artist situated at the Pompedoi Centre, who appeared to be under the impression that all English tourists looked like Woody Allen.

"Mr Woody Allen" he'd chant "I paint your picture"

Now, to me and Simon, this was fair enough as we both wore glasses. However this started to get a bit tenuous when he refered to Chris as Mr Woody Allen, as he doesn't wear glasses and is somewhat of a larger frame than Woody Allen.

And when he started refering to Jen as Mr Woody Allen, well we didn't know where to look... Could this be the only actor he's actually ever heard of? The guys not even English.

Anyway, what lookee-likees await in Nottingham on my return this weekend, for Ms Studs birthday? We shall see...

Sorry, was this supposed to be about Popworld? Oh well.

Find out more about Popworld (and not about lookeelikees) here.
