He doesn't own a pair of moon boots or know anyone named Pedro, but he sure looks like that guy from Napoleon Dynamite.

Adam Slusser (freshman-actuarial science), who looks like Napoleon (played by actor Jon Heder), is one of several Penn State community members who bears a striking resemblance to well-known celebrities.

"Somehow I got nominated the No. 1 lookalike for Napoleon by PSU's Flippin' Sweet Napoleon Dynamite Club [on www.Thefacebook.com]," Slusser said.

Slusser said people approach him on a regular basis, but he was caught off guard the first time it happened because he had not heard about the movie.

"These guys came up and were like, 'We just want to shake your hand, Napoleon,' " he said. "It was the first week here, and I didn't know many people then, and it's just embarrassing if someone comes up to you and does that."

Slusser said he just goes with the flow and enjoys the added attention from girls.

"It's like you go to a party and people want to dance with you just because you look like Napoleon," he said.

Jaime Taylor (sophomore-health and policy administration) said that last semester when she dyed her hair darker, people told her she resembled Ashlee Simpson almost on a daily basis.

"I didn't really know what I got myself into because it was nuts," she said.

She added that she enjoyed the comparison at first, but has since tried to grow her bangs out and even get highlights for a fresh, less Ashlee-like, look.

Another Ashlee look-a-like, Kerry Meyer (freshman-actuarial science), said people often tell her she resembles the star, though she does not really see the resemblance.

"I'll be walking downtown and I've had people call my name and ask me for an autograph," she said.

Meyer said she finds it both funny and flattering, but is used to the comments by now.

Kaira Klueber (freshman-marketing) said she has been told she looks like Tara Reid since American Pie was first released.

Klueber said sometimes if she is at a party and someone can not remember her name, the person resorts to her celebrity likeness instead.

"They'll be like 'Yo Tara, what's up,' " she said.

Klueber added that a few people have asked for her picture and typically gets more comments when Reid is coming out with a new movie or is in the media spotlight.

"They're just kind of joking around and like, 'Oh I just want to take this picture back to my friends at home and let them know I met Tara Reid at Penn State,' " she said.
