An imposter hacked into Kim Kardashian’s Twitter account today, temporarily preventing the reality star from connecting with her fans. To this we say: What is a Kardashian if she cannot tweet?! Cut off from her digital oxygen supply, Kimmy K issued an urgent S.O.S. from her phone: “Twitter please help me get my password back! How is it that I can tweet from my cell but my home computer says wrong password!”
Everyone can breathe a collective sigh of relief because the issue has been resolved, and Kardashian is back to micro-blogging every second of her existence. But this would-be case of illegal celebrity impersonation is far less nefarious than Old Navy’s Kim Kardashian lookalike. Actress and singer Melissa Molinaro — a dead ringer for the ubiquitous reality TV star — stars in an obnoxious new commercial for the retail chain that will give you nightmares. (Apparently, Old Navy didn’t want the real thing as their spokeswoman, so they hired a more-affordable someone who looks exactly like her instead; Kim reportedly can get up to $25,000 just to tweet about a product, and has a multimillion-dollar contract to endorse Skechers footwear.)
The 28-year-old Canadian Molinaro’s been a finalist on the reality competition “Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search For the Next Doll,” had roles on “The Young and the Restless” and “How I Met Your Mother,” and appears in the upcoming “Honey 2,” a direct-to-video sequel of the 2003 Jessica Alba dance movie.
