Celebrity Doubles: They're the next best thing to the real thing
They say everyone has a twin, and if you happen to resemble a celebrity — especially a hot one — you can make some big bucks in South Florida!

Roger Hughes, of A Special Event, says the look-a-like business is "alive and well", in spite of the economic downturn.
That's great news, so what we want to know is, "Who's the hottest celebrity look-a-like?"
According to Hughes, timing has lots to do with it. "'Jack Sparrow' has been very popular. The most enduring look-a-likes are Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Spiderman, Superman and various children's characters."
If money is an indicator of popularity, Politician and non-actor look-a-likes command some of the highest prices! The "Obama" and "Donald Trump" look-a-likes get $4,000 each for appearances, as compared to the "Paris Hilton's" look-a-like's $750. "Hillary Clinton" and "Sarah Palin" doubles receive a cool $3,500 (plus airfare) for South Florida appearances.
The "Jack Nicholson" celebrity double nets a grand, and Reese Witherspoon's identical look-a-like gets 2G's. The "Paula Abdul" double makes a mere $850, and an entire set of Beatles' look-a-likes cost $3,500!
"Our 'Paris Hilton' double turned many heads at public events here, and people were eagerly snapping photos of her on their cell phones, she was that recognizeable," said Hughes.
Some real celebrities have actually met their look-a-likes — with positive reactions. "Carol Channing once remarked that one "Channing look-a-like" (a female impersonator) was both 'classy and accurate' ", said Hughes, who added that celebrity doubles perform as "tributes" to actual stars.
In business 30 years, The Fort Lauderdale-based A Special Event is considered as one of the top look-a-like agencies in the country.

Sometimes the lookalikes look as good — if not better — than their celeb counterparts. We'd hire this "Angelina Jolie" any day.
"Joan Rivers" and "Elton John" cost a cool $1650 each (plus air fare.)
This look-a-like couple keeps the beat going on.
Someone oughta send this "Jack Benny" look-a-like to one of those "bailout" hearings.
Paul McCartney could have used this guy at his recent divorce hearing.
Right now it's a GOOD thing to look like Hillary and Sarah!
Robert Redford's double, left, and Captain Cartoon. The Captain always thought he bore some resemblance to the actor. What do YOU think?
