Remember when all the promotional posters for 'New Girl' came out, and everybody thought that Katy Perry had gone into acting? Zooey Deschanel is an absolute dead ringer for 'I Kissed A Girl' singer Katy Perry. And she hasn't always been happy about it, either. MTV once asked her what she thought about the resemblance, and she told them that the two had nothing in common apart from the fact that they looked alike, although she was "sure Perry was a nice girl". Ouch!
Time must have mellowed her a little, though, because more recently they've been happy to pose for Instagram snaps together and encourage fans to guess who's who. At one point, they were even planning to go to a Halloween party as the twins from 'The Shining'. We believe that Deschanel has a pretty good singing voice, too. That must make it tempting for Perry to call her and ask her if she fancies filling in for a few nights on long tours.
