Celebrity Doppelgangers Of Powerful Women In Politics
5:15 pm, May 29th | by Laura Donovan
Don’t lie: You’ve thought about which famous figures look like you. If you’re anything like me, you’ve made a point to repeat far too generous comparisons (i.e., Blake Lively!) to feel better on bad hair days and haggard moments.

9:30 am, April 3rd | by Laura Donovan
No matter your politics, you cannot argue that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton isn’t a cool lady. Even comedian Jason Segel thinks she’s funny, and conservatives have argued that she’s tougher than President Barack Obama. That’s why we’re far from shocked that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is the latest woman in power to urge the former first lady to seek oval office.
