Starring as Rita Hayworth's Character Gilda ...


I have recently seen a single still frame of Rita as Gilda from the film Gilda and, frighteningly, my brain registered it as Katherine Heigl! I must be going insane ...

Yes, yes you are insane. Katherine isn't even a pubic hair on the body of Rita.

I'm not saying Katherine even holds a candle to Rita, but that one photo, there is a microscopic resemblance between the two and it unnerves me a little.

I was just being a jerk. There is a slight resemblance. It's just that Katherine gets on my last nerve and her persona is that of a C U Next Tuesday type. But she does have a killer body.

No worries, I'm not a big fan of Katherine's since I saw an episode of Gray's Anatomy! She was funny in Knocked Up, but only marginally -- Seth Rogan carried that film.

It was creepy when I saw the single shot of Rita in Gilda and I did a mental double-take. The resemblance is there, but otherwise, Katherine couldn't fill Rita's bra!
