Hillary Clinton punches Elvis; Richard Gere Squeezes Marilyn Monroe; And Tupac Lives!
If you read my Tuesday column wonder how closely fake Richard Gere looks like real Richard Gere, here's my photo album of the IP's Reel Awards, the show honoring celebrity impersonators on Sunday night. As you can see, "Richard Gere" (Jeff Jones) enjoys a quiet moment with "Marilyn Monroe" (Sheri Winkelmann).

"Hillary Clinton" the fighter (Teresa Barnwell) beats on "Elvis" (Mike Russell), because Elvis loved drugs?.

All-knowing "Oprah" (Carol Woodle) isn't so sure about "Tupac" (Josh Harraway) who had just flashed the bird..

And "Roseanne" (Anne Kissel) takes the stage with "Robin Williams" (David Born) and a French "Mrs. Doubtfire" (Alain Poudensan), because why the hell not?

Hmmmm, entertainment columnists; isn't that like being a 'fake' journalist? Your take on look a likes, is a very negative one, is it because people actually think they, (the look-a-likes) are the famous people they just happen to resemble, where as while reading your written words, no one would ever confuse you with a real journalist?
Must wear you down to carry such a big chip.
On a postive note, thank you so much for keeping people up to date on the hard hitting world of video games. Must feel good to know that your words are really making a difference in the world today.

I have no idea how I happened on this site, but after actually reading the article? blog? I have to agree with Live Gently. I mean isn't las vegas the city that made impersonation famous? So why does this elfman fellar give them such a hard time?
Live Gently, you posibly could have been a little nicer about it, but your points make a lot of sense, and I wouldn't consider them to be bitter, just sort of giving back what the blogger person put out there, it seems that he is the one to set the tone of negativity. But then I don't play video games, and that is his specialty - maybe he was filling in for someone, who knows?
Oh, and don't change your name, it's really nice.

Here is an interesting topic for an article ??

Would a journalist take advantage of his own
resemblance of a famous person to get a story???

How far would a journalist go to get a story??
