Rosie o' Donnel and the Hagfish


Celebrity Look Alikes




The lionfish, also known as the turkey fish, is famous for being both poisonous and beautiful. They are successful predators of the sea; the Lionfish is gifted with quick movement and fins that fan out to corner their prey. Like Cher's hair, the fish come in a variety of colors: black, orange, red, etc. Their spines deliver a painful venom to predators and prey that are trying to escape. They have been known to inflict wounds on curious divers and aquarium enthusiasts.


Even more colorful is the cuttlefish, which can blend into its surroundings and change color as it changes its mood. The cuttlefish pictured here next to Manson is almost as white as he is, but that doesn't mean he will stay this way for long:

Indeed, the cuttlefish is the most cunning of hunters for its ability to blend in with seaweed and sand. They live near shorelines, so that they can feed off of smaller particles that wash up with the tide.

The cuttlefish can range from the size of a baseball to the size of a small dog. Larger cuttlefish are found off the coast of Australia, where they have been known to follow divers around. They are a type of squid known for their intelligence and curiosity...unlike Manson.


The most striking resemblance is the hagfish and Rosie O'Donnel. The hagfish is known for its disgusting slime that it secretes and how it feeds on its prey- not by eating it from the outside, but by eating it from the inside. They enter through any (and by any, i mean ANY) opening in the fish, eating its intestines.


The tomato clownfish is one of the lesser-known types of clownfish, with its bright red coloring. The clownfish hide in sea anemones to protect themselves from predators. Recently, the clownfish Nemo made his appearance on the big screen in the hit movie Finding Nemo. Will Ferrel has also had some hit films such as Stranger than Fiction, Elf, and Anchorman.
