In the course of Google-image searching for a sexy Selleck picture to include in yesterday's post (here is another one...grrrowl), I came across a website offering the servics of celebrity look-a-likes and impersonators. I knew these people existed - people who, by the grace of the Lord and Savior, were born with featues identical to those of our favorite actors and musicians - but I had no idea these impersonators could make a living from their predicament, nor did I imagine that a company called Tapley Entertainment had culled America's best look-a-likes together under one booking agency and made them available for corporate and private events. What a concept! But I have some questions for David Tapley (President/Founder), questions not addressed in the website's FAQ section. Mr. Tapley, if you would please...

For some of the biggest celebrities, you have multiple look-a-likes. Do you ever let, say, your four Elton John's duke it out for the title of Supreme Elton? And wouldn't that be a title no one would ever want to have?

You mention that your Paris Hilton impersonator not only look like Paris Hilton, but has also captured the performer's voice and mannerisms as well. Does that mean she will go down on me at my great-grandmother's funeral?

Your John Travolta look-a-likes are impressive, but for my next bachelor part I'm going to need a Travolta circa Battlefield Earth. Anything?

Is it true that your Tiger Woods impersonator is none other than Lucy Liu in black-face?

How in the world did you manage to find a Santa Claus look-a-like?!?

When a celebrity dies, does that celebrity's impersonator feel it a bit more than the rest of us?

And along those same lines...
Don'tcha think your Benjamin Franklin impersonator is a little... too soon?
