After getting mixed up by the general public for years, one particularly hilarious mixup prompted Michelle Williams and Michelle Williams to finally link up.
In a video posted Thursday (April 17) by the first Williams — as in, the superstar previously in the Beyoncé-led girl group Destiny’s Child — she sits backstage after a performance of her Broadway show Death Becomes Her, telling the camera, “We had an amazing show tonight!”
She then pulls out a stack of photos of the other Williams — aka the five-time Oscar-nominated actress who’s starred in everything from Brokeback Mountain to My Week With Marilyn — that a fan had mistakenly mailed her in the hopes of getting an autograph weeks prior. Turning the camera, the first Williams reveals that the second Williams is sitting there beside her, and the former asks the latter to sign the pictures of herself.

“Who should I make it out to?” the Blue Valentine star says, to which the “Journey to Freedom” singer replies giddily, “Would you make them out to meee?”
“#FINALLY,” reads the video’s caption.
The sweet meetup comes a little over a month after the singer posted a video of herself reading aloud a letter from a fan, featuring a hilarious twist at the end. “‘Dear Michelle Williams, I hope this letter finds you in great spirits,’” she recited in the March clip. “‘My name is Philip, and I have been an avid fan of your incredible performances in both film and theater.’”
“‘Your work in movies like Blue Valentine, Manchester by the Sea or The Greatest Showman has deeply moved me and many others, showcasing your exceptional talent,’” she continued at the time. “‘I am writing to kindly ask if you would consider signing the enclosed photos I have of you. Having your autograph would mean so much for me and my daughter, as we admire your artistry.’”
That’s when the first Williams showed the photos Philip had sent: snapshots of the second Williams in various movies. “Philip, thank you so much,” she said, laughing. “Thank you, Philip. Thank you so much. Absolutely brilliant. Her hair is fabulous.”
Though the moment was certainly memorable, Philip is far from the first person to get the two Michelle Williamses switched around. With both women working in the entertainment industry since the 1990s, countless others have gotten their identical names confused over the years.
The “Unexpected” artist has been starring in Death Becomes Her since the show opened in New York City in November. On the very first night of performances, her former bandmates Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland came out to Lunt-Fontanne Theatre to cheer her on. Film star Michelle is currently promoting her Hulu miniseries Dying for Sex.

According to Chappell Roan, Alanis Morrissette gets the job done.
While guesting on the TikTok series Gaydar Friday (April 18), the “Pink Pony Club” singer answered a poignant question posited by host Anania: “What album made you gay?”
Without hesitation, Roan — wearing a dramatic denim look that was somehow a cross between Marie Antoinette and Dolly Parton — replied, “I would say Jagged Little Pill, Alanis Morissette.”
Released in 1995, Jagged Little Pill spent 12 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Roan also shared a quick impression of the rock star while performing a snippet of the album’s biggest hit, “You Oughta Know.”

“And I’m here to remind you,” she sang before cutting herself off, laughing. “That’s, like, so offensive.”
The Missouri native went on to share some of her dating advice, starting with honest communication when it comes to staying friends with former flames. “I know in lesbian relationships, people being friends with their exes, living with their exes, is like a thing,” she told Anania. “If you’re really close with your ex-girlfriend, and we’re dating, let’s just talk about it.”
As for her No. 1 word of wisdom to someone going through their first lesbian breakup? “Don’t try to be friends,” she said frankly.
The interview comes a few weeks after Roan revealed that she’s been in a committed relationship for about half a year. “It’s serious,” the Grammy winner said on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast in March. “I’m very in love.”
“I haven’t dated someone since [my career] really, really blew up,” she added at the time. “I’m dating the same person that I was dating before I got, like, blew up, so I’m not sure how I would date now. I think it would actually be a nightmare. I think I would be so single right now because you’re terrified of their intentions. I’m scared. I don’t trust anyone. I just think in my head, I’m like, any new person that I’m texting, I’m like, ‘I’m assuming they will screenshot this and send it to someone else.’”
