Weekender | Almost famous: Celebrity lookalikes at Tufts

No, this is not another entry in our "Top 10 people who will never win an Oscar" list. While Cameron Diaz has many notable roles to her credit, including parts in "The Mask," "My Best Friend's Wedding," "Vanilla Sky," and, most surprisingly, "Being John Malkovich," her best performance to date may be as freshman Arianna Rubin's lookalike.
