Celebrities Who Look Like Pokemon
Gotta catch 'em all! What do celebs like Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Pauly D, and Cee Lo Green have in common with Pokemon? More than you'd think. Here's a look at them and some other stars whose colorful outfits and funny facial expressions capture the playful nature of different Pokemon characters.
Lady Gaga as Primeape
With this spiky-looking headpiece -- one of Mother Monster's many costume changes during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards -- Gaga looks uncannily like Primeape, a bipedal Pokemon covered in shaggy white fur.
Nicki Minaj as Jynx
The "Roman Holiday" singer has had many looks over the years, but this one -- long blonde extensions and a red-lace bodysuit with a latex harness, which she wore for a Today show appearance in 2012 -- bears a striking resemblance to Jynx, a humanoid Pokemon with blonde hair and a red gown.
Pauly D as Hitmonchan
With his gelled-up spiky hair and enthusiastic fist pump, Jersey Shore alum (and new dad) Pauly D resembles Hitmonchan, a tan, humanoid Pokemon that specializes in punching.
Cee Lo Green as Ho-Oh
The Voice mentor and "Forget You" singer took the stage at the 2011 Grammys in this colorful, feathery getup, which could almost be a Halloween costume for Ho-Oh, a flying legendary Pokemon that looks like a cross between a phoenix and a peacock.
Kelly Osbourne as Clefairy
The Fashion Police star's lavender updo and rosy cheeks call to mind Clefairy, a fairy-type Pokemon with a curly tuft of pastel fur on its head.
Rick Ross as Blastoise
With his crushed blue velvet track suit and numerous gold medallions -- his performance outfit at the 2013 Hip Hop Awards -- the "Super High" rapper is a dead ringer for Blastoise, a water-type Pokemon with a dark blue body, yellow chest armor, and a tortoise-like shell.
Vin Diesel as Diglett
The Fast and Furious star's perfectly shaped, bald head looks like Diglett, a dome-shaped ground-type Pokemon.
Seth Rogen as Slowpoke
The Knocked Up actor's wide-eyed, open-mouthed expression resembles Slowpoke, a water/psychic Pokemon with big eyes and curled ears. (Rogen is much smarter and more clever than Slowpoke, though.)
