Rebecca Marie "Becky" O'Donohue and Jessica Elleanore "Jessie" O'Donohue (born July 13, 1980) are American reality TV show contestants. Becky was a semi-finalist in the fifth season of American Idol. They are identical twins.

Becky's original audition on American Idol was in Boston where she was supported by Jessie (who did not sing due to recent throat surgery). Judge Simon Cowell praised her looks, but said no to her voice. However, she was let through to Hollywood by co-judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul.

They briefly appeared on the American Idol season finale on May 24, 2006 via satellite from Birmingham, Alabama as commentators during Taylor Hicks' cheering rally.

Both appeared in a special "Twins" episode on Fear Factor where they were eliminated on the first stunt. The twins also appeared together in Maxim magazine in 2004. They played twin sisters Darla and Donna in the 2007 comedy film I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and Layna and Sophia on an episode of ER. Jessie appeared as a stripper named Carmel Owens in an 8th season episode of CSI: Miami titled "Dude, Where's My Groom?". The twins appeared on the "Sister Act" episode of Minute to Win It on which they won with $50,000. Becky guest starred on Psych, episode "Not Even Close... Encounters" in July 2010.
