What a mix-up! A fan recently approached Jessica Simpson, who was with her daughter Maxwell Drew, in a parking lot for an autograph. The catch? The fan actually wanted Britney Spears' autograph, and had mixed up the two singers.

On Instagram, Simpson posted a picture of her and Maxwell looking shocked after the incident.

She said in the post:

"The face when someone in the parking lot at the mall asks you for your autograph, but expects you to sign it Britney Spears 😜"

Simpson, whose music career overlapped Spears' and who also sports long blonde hair, might be confused for Spears if you squint just right, but certainly not up close. The two starlets have a lot in common, which possibly fueled the fan's confusion. Same generation of singers, similar rises to fame, Southern roots, and time on The Mickey Mouse Club in their childhoods.

Simpson commented in a 2021 interview that she admired Spears.

“I admire her ambition, strength, and the capability to live unapologetically and authentically.”



The resemblance is there—enough for Spears to post last year, asking, "Why do I look EXACTLY like Jessica Simpson???"


Reactions to Simpson's post were all over the place.

Some couldn't figure out how anyone could confuse the two singers.

Others, however, took issue with what they saw as negativity in Simpson's caption.

They were quickly rebuffed by people who just wanted some kindness in the comments.

Someone brought up another singer to whom Simpson and Spears were often compared: Christina Aguilera.

Folks still wanted to know: did she actually sign the autograph?

Simpson's autobiography, Open Book, came out in 2020. Spears' own memoir comes out October 24th.

Joshua Jackson Was Just Asked About The 'Best Advice' He Got From His Dad—But There's One Awkward Problem

Jackson has long been open about his difficult non-relationship with his father, John Carter.

Back in 1998, Jackson spoke candidly to The Seattle Times about his parents’ divorce, describing it as a turning point in his childhood.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.
