You know, it's funny, I have no clue what this lady looks like.. probably couldn't point out anything she's done in the wild. I've heard and seen her name a lot but couldn't point her out in a lineup. This photo definitely doesn't help, and I'm certainly not going to break this streak and google her now.

She looks like Zooey Doofenshmirtz, but without bangs and eyes that don't pierce your soul and weight your heart against a feather

Katy Perry is the Walmart Zooey

Makes sense. Would that make Justin the Zellers Trudeau?

Pierre Trudeau's marriage fell apart when he was PM and he ended up dating Barbra Streisand after stepping down as PM. Justin (his son)'s , marriage also fell apart when he was PM and he is dating Katy Perry

sequels are never better than the original

you don't know I Kissed A Girl and I Liked It or Baby You're A Firework? I feel like those were everywhere.

TBF there are lots of songs I recognize but couldn't tell you who sang it or anything about the singer.

That doesn't help about what she looks like

You're super cool. I bet you don't even own a TV.

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 5 points 2 days ago

My human in christ, I own a TV in almost every room. I'm on the internet every day, and I still manage to not know what she looks like. I'd say that's quite a feat. Thanks for participating.

Those people are actually absent from TV screens on most of the planet, as soon as you leave the US and their celebrity addiction.

How do you not know, she might be kinda stupid, but shes famous for being hot and had hella charting songs. The nun thing was weird but uh even without her involvement that place still got sold?

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

I only know how she looks like myself because of a specific Simpsons episode.
