I can't look at Britney and not think of how very much like a living Barbie she resembles. While her musical talents are debatable, she is unquestionably attractive, and appears to pull in enough quality production people that her shows keep drawing crowds.. somehow.

But yeah.. totally looks like a barbie.

She's starting to look more and more like Sarah Palin.

Actually, come to think of it, Sarah Palin's pageant photos look like Britney Spears.
