Taryn Manning pinch-hits for Bijou Phillips

Can’t get Bijou Phillips (left)? Try Taryn Manning (right)! That’s what the publisher of Social Life magazine did recently when Phillips backed out (scroll down) of a scheduled cover shoot. And y’know, it kind of makes sense. Both actresses have growing big-screen cred, dual careers as pop-rock singers, and as these side-by-side photos show, they could easily be cast as sisters, or at the very least, first cousins.
