- February 3, 2002 -- There may be one very good reason why Chelsea Clinton has fallen for her new man, fellow Oxford University student Ian Klause - he's a dead ringer for her father at the same age.
Klause's mop of long curly hair, easygoing manner, buggy eyes - even his Rhodes Scholar status - mirrors the image of a youthful Bubba at Oxford 33 years ago.
And a new study has discovered that men and woman are far more likely to pick partners who resemble mom and pop.
[snip] Chelsea met Klause, 22, through a close-knit bunch of American friends last semester. The pair began dating in November and have gotten serious in recent weeks.
But it's not just the mop of hair, broad shoulders, ruddy cheeks and alluring grin that make Klause, an American, so much like a young Bill Clinton.
His outgoing personality, ability to mix easily with British students in the often anti-American university and a love of the good life makes Klause seem like a chip of the old Clinton block.

Last week, Chelsea's two bodyguards were left sipping mineral water and averting their eyes at the bar in the trendy Quad restaurant while the former First Daughter and new beau openly made out and giggled together on a nearby leather sofa.
The pair even like to party one block from her pop's old digs in North Oxford - where the ex-prez smoked dope but "didn't inhale."

Chelsea and Klause also sometimes dash 50 miles to London for a night out, just as Bill did in his college days.
The only difference is that cash-strapped Bill hitchhiked to the capital, while Chelsea jumps in a limo to meet her new showbiz friends.
Thats exactly the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw the photo. Yuck.
I have always thought that Chelsea had a creepy relationship with her step-dad. This confirms those suspicions of creepiness.
