Strange Bedfellows

These are people I confuse with each other solely because, in my brain, their names are somehow similar. For example, when I hear someone talk about Bob Geldoff (which, granted, doesn't come up often), I have to do some mental gymnastics to figure out: porn weirdo or Live Aid dude?

In no particular order:

- Bob Geldoff and Bob Guccione (Humanitarian v. Porn Guy)
- Robert Guillaume and Robert Goulet (Benson v. that guy Will Ferrell makes fun of)
- Bertrand Russell and Russell Brand (Philosopher v. Katy Perry's husband)
- Hank Azaria and Max Azria (Simpson's voice v. designer)
- Janet Napolitano and Johnette Napolitano (Homeland Security Secretary v. Concrete Blonde lead singer)

I just read a Facebook post from Barack Obama (because we're friends and all) about Janet Napolitano and I couldn't help but picture him hanging out with the "Joey" girl. Maybe she could sing it for VP Biden.

There are many mores names to add to this list, I'm sure. I'll edit as they come to me.
