Inheritance of Genes
Motoki:
People tend to make those celebrity sims have extreme features and almost sort of be a charicature. And Renatus is right, the people who make them tend modify them extremely from the average sim templates. The more different a face is from another the more freakish the kid will look.
Jelenedra:
I found the best way to insure good looking kids is to (from a CAS couple) is to use the same sim only change the gender on one and make them more feminine more masculine and change hair color and eye color. My children never look the same as each other and they're never deformed.
Renatus:
How on earth would they look different when they are mostly going to be clones, due to their parents having nearly exactly the same facial genetics? That doesn't make any sense.
Anyhow, it's hogwash that the sims have to look very similar to have kids that look good. There are certain features that do not mix well (long faces with short is a good example), but one can have a pretty decent variety of facial features in sims and still have the children come out looking pretty nice - if one is willing to not assume they will be horribly ugly just because they aren't supermodel material as children. Sim kids are usually funny looking, much like real children. I'm finding my custom neighborhood is a good example of that - only one kid so far has come out with questionable looks, and he's still a toddler so he may well grow into them.
Jelenedra:
They don't look exactly the same because I used the same face as a template and changed it, the parents still have different features. They're just have more in common so the features don't clash and get fugly.

Well, cariacature is different and I'm sure you're right about people using extremes when they make sims but I still can't tell celebrities apart. I think it's because I'm not very interested. It's then you realise that a lot of people in the public eye conform to a narrow set of facial variables.
