Kate Middleton is arguably one of the most recognizable women in the world. So what do you do when you bear a striking resemblance to the gorgeous royal? Find a way to turn it into a buck!

That's just what Windsor-born Gabriella Munro-Douglas did, and now she's bringing home the bacon! In an interview with the Daily Mail, the 26-year-old Kate look-alike revealed that she makes a whopping $1,500 per appearance posing as Prince William's wife! But being the duchess's doppelganger can be scary at times, as tourists who mistake her for Kate follow her around in droves. Gabriella explained, "Getting mobbed is quite bizarre and is like a snapshot of being a celebrity. In a few minutes I go from being my normal self to putting my dress on and people following me around. When they start to crowd around it can be intimidating."

But this side gig is a far cry from Gabriella's 9-to-5 job as a furniture designer and buyer. Her spare time is all about looking like Kate, which she will do for as long as she can. She said, "I thought it would last a year after the wedding, but she is becoming more popular which will continue with the royal baby too. Maybe in 20 years I will still be doing it. But it depends on my appearance and if I age at the same rate. It is not a bad thing looking like her though. It could be worse."

And Gabriella isn't the only Kate "twin"! Heidi Agan has been impersonating the duchess professionally since May 2012, when customers at the restaurant she worked at kept telling her she looked like Kate.

Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, are expecting a visit from the stork this fall, but before the special delivery, the happy couple is working on prepping their 23-month-old daughter, Arabella for the role of big sis. The blond beauty told Us Weekly, "We're navigating the sharing thing right now — I think we're, like, 70 percent of the way there." The 31-year-old mom explained that she is desperately trying to teach her daughter to play nice before baby number two arrives, and from the sound of it, Arabella is slowly warming up to the idea. Ivanka explained, "She's really good at telling me I have to share with her. She's less good about actually sharing back."

The busy business-minded mama also admits that despite the estimated $3.2 billion net worth of her father, Donald, there's one thing she won't stand for when it comes to her kids. "The one thing I won't tolerate is her being spoiled or bratty or having poor manners," she explained. That's one area [in which] I'll be very strict."

Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" is one of the catchiest songs out right now. So catchy, in fact, that even Jimmy Kimmel parodied the too-hot-to-handle music video when the musician was a guest on his show Thursday night.

So, when "omg! Insider" correspondent Christina McLarty met up with Robin's famous dad, Alan Thicke, for the final installment of "omg! Insider's" Best TV Dads special, she had to get Alan’s take on Robin’s appeal with the ladies. Explaining why women love the sexy singer, the former "Growing Pains" patriarch said, "He's a stud. He's 6'4”, he's in great shape genetically, organically and then he works out and works hard and takes care of himself ... Believe me he looks great naked." So what does our favorite TV dad think of his real-life son's risqué music video for "Blurred Lines" featuring naked models? He joked, "I think they did some excellent casting. The last report I heard was 42 million hits on YouTube and who knows how many hits those girls have had on them!"

It appears that Jessica Alba looks good in any decade! The 32-year-old actress took to Twitter and Instagram on Monday to show off her most recent retro-inspired look from the upcoming film "Dear Eleanor." The brunette bombshell looks incredible, posing in a multicolored one-piece with her hair swept up in a decade-appropriate beehive 'do and with her costars by her side. Jessica captioned the snapshot, "W my little lovelies on #deareleanor @deareleanorfilm @lianaliberato @isabellefur."

The flick, set in 1962, is about two friends on a road trip across the U.S. to meet their childhood hero, Eleanor Roosevelt. It has been the subject of the vast majority of her recent Instagrams, and it appears that the star is digging the '60s-inspired styles she's been sporting for the movie.

Italian Designer Roberto Cavalli custom created one of the dresses that Beyoncé rocks on stage during her Mrs. Carter World Tour, and while it looks gorgeous on the songstress, the frock has now landed him in the hot seat. On Tuesday, the sketch for the colorful muslin silk printed gown was posted to Cavalli’s official Facebook page … and Queen Bey's coveted curves are nowhere to be found, having been dwindled down to Barbie proportions! The "Countdown" singer's legs are pin thin, her enviable curves have been minimized, and she appears to be 10 feet tall!

While fashion sketches do tend to depict women in an unrealistic light, Roberto seems to have missed the mark on this one! The megastar shared images of the final product on stage and we have to say, her famous bod does the dress good!

However on Wednesday, Cavalli's camp released a statement addressing the controversy.

"Dear Fans, We would like to clarify that the image of the gown created by Roberto Cavalli for Beyoncé is a sketch and not a photo, and therefore it is only meant to be a stylized and artistic vision. Roberto Cavalli loves women and more than anyone else has always exalted and highlighted the female shape with his creations, building his signature style on the glorification of sensuality and femininity."

Katy Perry may be a self-proclaimed "California Gurl," but it seems as if she has swapped her candy-colorful dresses to take a walk on the dark side. The 28-year-old singer stepped out in Los Angeles on Saturday in a gloomy, goth-inspired ensemble, rocking black from head-to-toe after a Björk concert.

The brunette bombshell donned black heels, dark tights, a leather mini-skirt, a top featuring a bedazzled cross, and a long black overcoat. She even sported a studded choker and dark nail polish, and looked more likely to cast a spell than to be your "Teenage Dream."

But this isn't the first time Katy has ditched her colorful duds and gone goth. Check out the vid to see the pop star's dramatic drab duds!

Not only does Shakira have a smoking-hot body, hips that don’t lie, an adorable family, and a killer career, but also she’s a Mensa member, meaning that she has an IQ over 139. Mensa International, the largest and oldest IQ society in the world, recently released a list of celebrities with above average IQs. Among those to make the list include megastar Madonna, with an IQ of 140.

And the youngest celeb on the Mensa list is 14-year-old "Modern Family" star Nolan Gould. While his character, Luke Dunphy, may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, in real life, the young star is a certified genius. It has been revealed that Nolan has an IQ of 150, qualifying him to be a part of Mensa International. The teenager is so smart, in fact, that he graduated from high school at just 13 years old!

Hayden Panettiere has been a working actress since she was just 6 years old, winning our hearts with her roles in "Guiding Light" and "Remember the Titans." But while other former child stars, like Amanda Bynes and Lindsay Lohan, have become Hollywood's most notorious bad girls, Hayden has kept her life on the straight and narrow. Now the 23-year-old is opening up about growing up in show business and shares how she avoided the same ill fate.

During an interview on BBC's "Breakfast" on Thursday morning, Hayden said, "I'm no better than anybody else, and those same doors were opened to me, and they're very easy to walk through ... drugs, alcohol, you know, being in inappropriate places that you shouldn't be at a certain age. And it's a very tough position to be in, but I had great people to pull me back from it."

Hayden added that perhaps the most difficult aspect of achieving fame at such a young age was that people were watching her, waiting for her to make a mistake. She said, "Being a young female growing up in this industry is really tough. And I grew up in the generation of the wild child ... I was guilty by association. So everyone sits there, and they wait for you to fall off your horse."

And the pint-size starlet credited her family and friends for helping her to stay on track, saying, "As long as you have people who are willing to tell you the truth and who are not afraid to tell you the truth, and who are there to yank you back when you need it and give you a reality check, it makes a world of difference."
