Love lookalikes

You break up with a guy, and a week later he's sporting a new fling...who looks exactly like you.

Pathetic?

Gossip blogs can't get over the fact that Trace Cyrus (Miley's brother) is dating a girl who bears an incredibly strong resemblance to his ex, Disney star Demi Lovato.

It's not the first time I've seen this. Just consider Hulk Hogan, whose current girlfriend looks a lot like his ex (and, eerily, his daughter).

Beyond the celebrity world, I've had many friends escape a bad relationship only to hit the party scene a few days later with carbon copy date in tow.

It's one thing to have a type. It's another thing to crave a lookalike.

Consider this bit of sage wisdom from Perez Hilton:

Dating someone who looks like your ex, for any reason, simply makes you a tool.

Agree or disagree?
