    true, i have noticed scots and some northern europeans to have red hair but I usually associated that hair color with the irish. My nephew is a mutt, taking from my side of the family filipino, spanish, russian, german, polish, from his dad he has irish, italian and puerto rican…the kid has flaming red hair with greenish blue eyes like me and my brother which is odd cause my sister has amber colored eyes and his dad has brown but every one else in both families have colored eyes which is either blue, grey or green. The other irish in my family would be both my aunts who married irish…all the boys look german…tall and either blond or brunette with grey or blue eyes…but the girls and especially the grandchildren exhibit reddish hair but with blue eyes lack of green though as this side of my family through my dad are polish, russian and german.

    I agree that italians can look like her, my friend who is sicilian told me that most northern italians have nordic features while southern italians and sicilians have darker features.

    …. You’ve completely read my post the wrong way.
    I said she looks typically Irish. I know Italians can look like her, I’m part Italian myself.
    Red hair and blue/green eyes is way more common in Ireland than it is in Italy, which is why “Irish” came into my mind when I thought about her heritage.
    That being said, she has more Irish in her than Italian.
    Lohan and Sullivan are Irish names. (: She’s still really cool, I can see why people don’t like her, but I think she’s cool.
