Favorite Fametracker posts

Fametracker, "The farmer's almanac of celebrity worth," made their bones on Fame Audits, in which certain stars were determined to have more than, less than, or just as much fame as they deserved. But it's their spin-off features that I love most. Here are some favorites:

Two Stars, One Slot: in which redundant actors battle it out, Highlander-style

• Battle of the Sensitive/Psychotic Blonds - Ryan Gosling vs. Nick Stahl
• Battle of the Charming Smarmsters - Zachary Levi vs. Ryan Reynolds
• Battle Of The Righteous, Honey-Voiced Inspirations - Samuel L. Jackson vs. Laurence Fishburne
• Battle of the Blowsy, WASPy, Possibly Drunk Moms - Blythe Danner vs. Sally Field
• Battle of the Chameleonic Hipster Goofs - Sam Rockwell vs. Justin Theroux

Celebrity vs. Thing: because TSOS was becoming too easy

• Catherine Zeta-Jones vs. Bagels
• Chris Rock Vs. Not-Socks

Blue Moons: sometimes-recurring features

• When Stars Split: Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey
• When Stars Split: Cameron Diaz & Justin Timberlake
  

Looking back (some of these are from 2004!), I can't believe how often they were on the freaking money. WC, you have some serious mojo.
