I have decided to put a number with these celebrities, which I call the PMA (Proximity to My Age). Because I am thinking of time linearly, I'll note these age differences as positive and negatives, i.e., the difference between my age and Katherine Heigl's (PMA) is -0.17 years (the negative means she is older), and Claire Danes' PMA is +0.12 years (I am older than she is). I hope that makes sense. Not that it matters, but that's how I will write this up. Also, much of my information came from IMDB. I did try to credit the websites from which I took these pictures, but forgive me if I missed some or misdirected some of the links (there are a LOT of links in this post!). Sorry. Contrary to popular belief, I am not perfect (ha!).
So . . . on with the show. We'll start with the two lovely ladies above.

The lovely and talented Ms. Danes got her big break in "My So-Called Life," one of my favorite t.v. shows growing up. I still remember one scene where she is freaking out about a zit. One. And her friend Rayanne told her to pop it and get on with her life. Yep. And no matter how big 30 Seconds to Mars gets, Jared Leto will always be hot Jordan Catalano. That's the way it is in my world. (P.S. Isn't her hair gorgeous? I could go for that look!)

Katherine Heigl is everywhere. Personally, I think she's gorgeous. I will always associate her with Grey's Anatomy; Izzie really stole the show for the first several seasons (I'm sorry, but Meredith is just so plain!). Her exit was less-than-graceful, but she has a very fruitful movie career. Have you seen "Life As We Know It"? Great movie. And Josh Duhamel is just delicious.

I'm not a HUGE fan of her music, but I think she's awesome. I think my favorite P!ink song is "Sober," though I really like "Raise Your Glass," too. She is getting ready to release her 6th studio album . . . wow. She was married to one Carey Hart, then they got divorced, now they are back together and they have a kid. All I can really say is that she acts pretty tough for a girl named Pink Hart. ;o)

Love you, Jim! He and Emily Blunt are one of my favorite celebrity couples.

I don't think Katie is the greatest actress, and her teeth kinda bug me, but I think she's got the lowest PMA of all the above celebrities (39 days). I never really got into Dawson's Creek, but I knew a lot of people who LOVED that show. In her IMDB trivia, it says her favorite movie is "My Best Friend's Wedding" (definitely one of my faves!!). Plus, she and Tom (who just turned 50! Gads!) got together around the same time Allen and I got together (summer 2005). Of course, they are getting divorced now . . . but she is a very cute mom (I love all the pictures of her and Suri). Good luck, babe.
Others (born in 1978): Zoe Saldana, James Franco, Malin Akerman, Rachel McAdams, Dominic Cooper, Ethan Embry and Ashton Kutcher. Born in 1980: Ryan Gosling, Chris Pine, Zooey Deschanel, Michelle Williams, Christina Ricci, Macaulay Culkin, Kim Kardashian.
Honorable mentions: Natalie Portman (+1.37 years), Drew Barrymore (-3.94 years), and Reese Witherspoon (-2.85 years).
I know this whole exercise was pointless. It was kinda fun, though (is it weird that I enjoyed figuring out the PMA numbers?). Is there a Hollywood personality who you have a connection with? If Lifetime was going to make a movie about your life, who would be the star? For me, I think it would have to be Adele (+9.28). She's not necessarily an actress, but I think she's the closest thing I have to a Doppelganger in the celebrity world.

Plus . . . I love her voice. She's amazing. And if you don't own her album "21" yet, you must be crazy. It's fantastic. Her cover of The Cure's "Lovesong" is absolutely brilliant. And she's expecting a baby in September! Yay!
It really is time to call it a night. You may be right, I may be crazy. But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for. (Turn out the lights, don't try to save me!)

Claire Danes is soooo pretty! And I definitely have celebrities I feel "close" to, too! Michelle Williams is one of them. And you DO look like Adele (or she looks like you...)!
