Subject: Celebrity Siblings

Some of these you may not have known about.  Some of these celebrities you may not know at all.  Feel free to post more.  Here is one to begin ...



Robert Pattinson (29), the world famous star of the Twilight Saga has a sister named Lizzy Pattinson (32).

She is a singer who gained fame in the early 2000s as vocalist on several songs for the group Aurora and the duo Milk and Sugar before her popularity faded.  She tried a comeback in 2014 as a contestant on The (UK) X Factor, but was eliminated by Simon Cowell at the judge's house.  Her best known track is perhaps a collaboration with Milk and Sugar on a cover of 'Let the Sunshine In', which was a UK Top 20 and US #1 Club hit in 2003.  I loved this song when it first came out.  I had no idea she was Robert's sister until I saw Robert mention it during an interview ...

There is a popular electronic duo from Montreal called Chromeo.  Their 2014 hit 'Jealous (I Ain't With It)' was a Top 20 hit in Canada and reached #15 on the US dance chart.  Dave Macklovitch (38), the group's singer who performs under the stage name Dave 1, has a brother named Alain Macklovitch (33), a DJ who performs under the name A-Trak.

A-Trak is one half of the duo Duck Sauce, who have had several club hits, the biggest of which was the 2010 single 'Barbra Streisand' which was a US #1 Club hit and a mainstream Top 40 hit in many other countries.  As a solo performer, his latest single is called 'Push'.  It features American singer Andrew Wyatt and made #86 in Canada.  Not a big hit by numbers, but it's in my current Top 20 songs of 2015

Allie Allen (Theon GreyJoy aka Reek of Game Of Thrones) and some singer I've never heard of names Lily Allen....


Apparently producers wanted Lily to play the role of GreyJoy's sister on GOT.... Spoiler alert for Philip.... In the series Theon was taken by Ned Stark as a boy...something about a battle trophy turned slave...but somehow he was raised with the other stark children and while not their equal kinda friendly-ish...I really need to go back rematch season one....anyway once the battle for the throne starts Theon returns home for
The first time in 15 yrs..., he is greeted by a woman who is taking him to the GreyJoy home via horseback...she is in front and he is sitting on the horse behind her. He grabs her hoo hoo and soon learns the woman is his sister.  Serious I I factor had that woman actually been played by his real sister!!!!  8-P

I was not aware of this one.  Lily Allen is not a major star in North America, even though all three of her albums (to date) reached the US Top 20.  Her only US Top 40 hit was back in 2011 on a T-Pain song called 5 O'clock

Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez, both of whom are sons of Martin Sheen. Martin's and Charlie's actual surnames are both Estevez, but Martin changed his to Sheen before he became popular, and Charlie followed suit.

Norris Dewar McWhirter, CBE (12 August 1925 – 19 April 2004) was a British writer, political activist, co-founder of The Freedom Association, and a television presenter. He and his twin brother, Ross, were known internationally for the founding of Guinness World Records, a book they wrote and annually updated together between 1955 and 1975. After Ross's assassination by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), Norris carried on alone as editor.

Moe Howard, Shemp Howard, and Curly Howard, who have all been part of The Three Stooges, were brothers. (Six total people were members of the trio, but Moe and Larry were the only constant members.) Shemp had been the original third stooge, but Curly replaced him... until health conditions forced him to retire, and Shemp re-replaced Curly.

I'm glad the other sister didn't follow in Miley's footsteps.

Also, their original last name was Horowitz.

In addition, Curly's real first name was Jerome. According to Wikpedia:
Because he was the youngest, his brothers called him "Babe" to tease him. The name "Babe" stuck with him all his life, although when his older brother Shemp Howard married Gertrude Frank, who was also nicknamed "Babe," the brothers called him "Curly" to avoid confusion. His full formal Hebrew name was "Yehudah Lev ben Shlomo Natan ha Levi."

I knew about the Stooges. My dad told me that years ago. And if Miley were my sister, I would not claim her dinky ass to save my life. I'd be so ashamed I'd change my name.
