	Rick Astley is a fox. I wouldn't mind rickrolling around with him for awhile...

	pete -- I know the quote, but I've always found it strange. His mama didn't name him Clay, it was his father's last name. His mama named him Cassius.

	Seeing as my first guesses were Amy Adams and Adele Adkins, I wasn't sure if it was based on first or last name until I saw Christina Aguilera and thought, "is Christina not her real name?"

	Silent rickroll.

	I forgot how Agassi used to look like before he lost his hair.

	@yodasmom1148 Rick Astley is a very decent man, he will never give you up, he will never let you down, he will never run around desert you, he will never make you cry, he will never say goodbye, he will never tell a lie and hurt you.

	I didn't realize that "Abdul-Jabbar" was Kareem's last name. I always figured Abdul was like a middle name and that his last name was Jabbar. So I thought sproutcm was being tricky and expecting us to know that KAJ was born "Lewis Alcindor". But when that didn't work, I typed in the whole name "Kareem Abdul Jabbar" and it worked. It might be cool to add "Alcindor" as an acceptable alternative for KAJ -- as sort of props to those who know that obscure bit of trivia. Just a thought ...

	I would agree that Alcindor should be an acceptable answer

	One of the pictures is of an airline pilot called Roger Murdock. Not a celebrity at all.

	@All Alcindor is an alternate, and looks to have been fixed if it wasn't working. Sorry about that. I actually picked him because both his last names started with A and I thought that was cool. I'm working on a series of these, but they are quite hard because everyone knows different people. I wanted a balance of athletes, movie people, TV people, musicians, and general celebrities of both genders and all time periods. Thanks for the support!

	Did I just get Rickrolled?

	It took a good minute for me to remember that her name wasn't Maude.

	Every time I find myself shocked that Andre Agassi used crystal meth, I remind myself that it was the Andre Agassi in this picture and not the bald, mild-mannered Andre Agassi of his later career.

	spent ages wondering why amadeus wasnt working till i clicked thats the film not his name....

	moviegoer74:	Nov 16th, 2011 at 20:21 GMT	6 points
	@ Wes_Mantooth...Actually, that's not correct. Agassi's last appearance with the shaggy main was in 1994, when he won the US Open as an unseeded player having slipped in the rankings due mostly to being lazy. He showed up at the 1995 Australian with his head shaved and won that tournament as well, then spent most of the year ranked #1 before losing to Sampras in the 1995 US Open final. Then he had a middling 1996 and fell completely off the map in 1997. And it was then, in 1997, that he said he'd used meth as he tumbled out of the top 100 in the world. So he was already several years removed from his "image is everything days" and seemingly well on his way to making the most of his prodigious talent, when he used meth, which is what made that particular revelation so shocking.

	@Bobman1 - I'm with you up to a point. Even I got Aaron and I'm a Brit who would struggle to name more than about 20 noted baseball players ever!

	willwoodlen:	Nov 16th, 2011 at 20:56 GMT	1 point
	Since she's called Beatrice Arthur in credits, I typed in her full name, and it wasn't accepted. Too late to change? Fun quiz either way.

	billymac72:	Nov 16th, 2011 at 21:04 GMT	12 points
	Man, I love Amy Adams. She's one of the most real women in Hollywood. I hope she never changes!

	@Cecispanda and pete32782: Actually, I am going to assume his papa named him, and not his mama, since his papa was Cassius Marcellus Clay Sr. Okay, maybe mama said, "Papa, let's name the baby after you." But either way, both names came from his papa. His papa was named after the famous Kentucky abolitionist Cassius Marcellus Clay. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassius_Marcellus_Clay_(politician)

	I thought F Murray was Bob Parr's "handler" in The Incredibles.

	will101:	Nov 17th, 2011 at 02:51 GMT	3 points
	OK, who is Clay Aiken? I figured out of the others, but i have never heard of that person.

	hikeeba:	Nov 17th, 2011 at 03:05 GMT	2 points
	Advantage: Agassi!

	I can't believe Rick Astley is the second least guessed. The Sporcle crowd must not follow internet memes.

	cmkeller:	Nov 17th, 2011 at 05:51 GMT	1 point
	@will101: He's a singer, started out by winning American Idol.

	dalheim:	Nov 17th, 2011 at 13:17 GMT	5 points
	@cmkeller he didn't actually win american idol, he was runner up.

	@maxwell1119: Ellen's girlfriend is Portia de Rossi, who looks absolutely nothing like a man. Quite the contrary, in fact.

	I had no idea what Adele's last name was. Didn't even try her because I assumed she didn't apply in this case. Wish I had, though I don't know what she looks like well enough to identify her on this quiz. I still love her voice.
