2/22: It's Idol separated at birth! Zac Efron & David Archuleta? Michael Johns & Rocco DiSpirito?
By: Rodney Ho | February 22, 2008, 4:24PM EST

Separated at birth!

Someone Friday noted the resemblance between Ted Lange (Isaac from “Love Boat”) and Chikezie. Well, judge for yourself:

And as a farewell to Garrett Haley, here’s Leif Garrett vs. Garrett photographically:

And don’t forget about Peter Frampton, too:

I asked him during the press conference Friday about the comparisons. He said he had no clue who either of them were until the first audition. He went back to the house and Googled the two names. “I was hoping they were decent-looking guys,” he told me. “I was pretty happy when they popped up.”

(By the way, he said he wasn’t able to sing any of his first three song picks and ended up getting assigned “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do.” He had never heard it before. He’s also more a pop-rock guy, which we didn’t get to see. I sense he probably wasn’t familiar with the list of songs and had a hard time picking one himself while some of the more experienced singers knew what they wanted and honed in on them.)

How about chef and “The Restaurant” star Rocco Dispirito vs. Michael Johns

Someone said a young Tim Daly (“Wings,” “Private Practice”), too. What do you think?

Or Carrie Underwood vs. Alaina Whitaker:

The judges compared Brooke White to Carly Simon, stylistically and (apparently) visually:

Does anyone like the resemblance to Mia Farrow?

And since he brought it up himself, ousted Colton Berry vs. Ellen DeGeneres:

I asked Colton about the Ellen DeGeneres comparison. Here’s his response:

“People have been saying it for years. You know what—I’m one of her biggest fans. So you know, I just looked in the mirror and figured, maybe everyone is right. Maybe I look like Ellen. May as well embrace it!”

I asked him if Ellen has asked him to be on her show yet? “I haven’t talked to her yet. She called Ryan Seacrest and laughed with Ryan about the comments I said. If Ellen’s reading this, give me a call!”

How about Luke Menard vs. Kyle McLachlan (“Twin Peaks,” “Desperate Housewives”)?

And folks have also suggested actor Bruce Campbell (“Burn Notice,” “The Evil Dead,” “Hercules” and Orlando Bloom.

This one I’m not buying 100% but they could be siblings: Danny Noriega and Jessica Alba:

If David Archuleta wore his hair with bangs, he’d look a bit more like Zac Efron:

Here’s another one I came up with late Friday— Jerry O’Connell (“Crossing Jordan,” “Carpoolers”) and Jason Yeager:

There were a few others that I looked at that didn’t quite click. David Hernandez and Ray Romano, Grace Slick and Amanda Overmyer and David Spade and Robbie Carrico. And yes, I did look at Nadia Turner and Syesha Mercado but their resemblance is mostly the hair, not the facial features.
