Melissa Molinaro is the Kim Kardashian look-alike in Old Navy's ad

(CBS) If you saw this new Old Navy commercial and wondered when Kim Kardashian found the time to film a commercial for the clothing brand, you're not alone - but the woman in the ad isn't a Kardashian.

It's Melissa Molinaro, a Canadian-born singer and actress.

She can been seen on the reality shows "Making the Band 3" and "The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll," and has appeared on TV series like "The Young and the Restless," "Grounded for Life" and "How I Met Your Mother."

Do you think she looks like the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star?

I strongly agree with many of the other comments. Ms. Molinaro looks nothing like Kim Kardashian to me and it is frivolous lawsuits like this that have clogged our justice system. I'm sure there is very little merit to the suit and this is likely just for publicity, but Ms. Kardashian needs to get a life!

This is a joke, right? I mean, don't they have to make that TV show *just* to give her things to do, in between having people photo you and cash checks?

yes she does ... especially in a 'quick cut' commercial. no doubt this is why she was cast for it.

She really doesn't look THAT much like her. She just has long dark hair and is dressed stylishly.
