Real or Wax?

Madame Tussauds has done it again.

The famed wax museum unveiled its latest replica Monday in Berlin, Germany, one so realistic you might actually be fooled were it not for the Madame's logo behind it.

That and the outdated hairstyle.

If there's any flaw in the wax figure of 23-year-old Rihanna, it's the older hair. Although, to be fair, the hair - along with the purple unitard, pink thigh-highs and red pumps - are featured in her video for "Who's That Chick?"

An eerily accurate wax replica of Rihanna debuts.

Wax figures are something else, that's for sure.

They either give you the creeps, fascinate you endlessly or even confuse you for real people ... in some cases at least. The latest celebrities to be immortalized in this strange, yet undeniably popular art form?

Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Handsome hunks of wax, for sure:

These dummies look strikingly real and drippingly handsome.

The actors were sculpted courtesy of Musee Grevin in Paris.

While Clooney looks as though he was taken straight out of Ocean's Eleven, Brad Pitt is featured not as one of his many memorable movie characters, but Brad Pitt the person and man emasculated by Angelina Jolie.

Totally hot or totally creepy? Thoughts?

Robert Pattinson is so handsome, even a creepy wax replica of the man is going to be an attractive sight. You have to admit, it's a pretty convincing likeness.

The wax figure of Rob at Madame Tussaud's Berlin museum features his signature smirk and tousled hair, which the real Rob happened to be sporting in NYC.

Here's wax R-Patt and real R-Patt at the Water For Elephants premiere. Who's hotter? Did Madame T do a good job of crafting this statue of the English actor?

Speaking of getting waxed, how about Bella in those leaked Breaking Dawn sex pics! We don't want to give away too much, but ... PG-13? Laughable stuff.

It was only a matter of time. Alleged actress and singer Jessica Simpson became the latest celebrity enshrined at Madame Tussauds wax museum in NYC.

Or did she?

The 29-year-old Jessica sure looks like a wax replica here, but are people paying a price to see her beauty in wax, or is this actually a real photograph?

Global hunk and sports icon Cristiano Ronaldo of the Portuguese national soccer team was spotted prepping for his team's opener in South Africa yesterday.

Or was he?

The 25-year-old Ronaldo, who's been linked to both Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian sexually in the past year, is looking a little stiff in the image below.

Perhaps we're just used to seeing him shirtless and sweaty. Or perhaps he's just a wax replica. What do you think? Tell us in this edition of Real or Wax!

Signature tousled mop and brooding stare in full force, Robert Pattinson was mobbed by adoring fans earlier this week at a press event for his new film Remember Me.

Or was he?!

A new and lifelike Britney Spears wax figure - a likeness of the superstar at the MTV VMAs 2008 - was unveiled yesterday at Madame Tassaud's London.

Due to the precisely-dated nature of this wax replica, we won't quiz you in this edition of Real or Wax. Britney was obviously not at the MTVs this weekend.

But this photo comparison below shows just how real this faux Britney Spears looks ... or how plastic the real Britney Spears looks. Maybe a little of both ...

The peeps at Madame T's clearly did a bang up job on this one. Click to enlarge more Britney Spears pictures - real and wax - from the 2008 MTV VMAs and the 2009 museum unveiling and see if you can tell them apart!

He won't be sworn in for another five days, but Barack Obama is already hard at work in Washington, pushing for Congressional support of his $825 billion economic stimulus package and for the confirmation of his embattled Cabinet picks.

OR IS HE?

The man who will become the 44th President of the United States on Tuesday is certainly glowing, there's no doubt about it - but is it because he's so excited, or because this is merely a smiling replica of the handsome Illinois Democrat?
