BRITNEY'S DOUBLE TROUBLE
Teenage superstar employs a doppelgőnger.
Britney Spears has employed the services of a double to throw both fans and media off the scent while she is in Rio De Janeiro for the Rock In Rio festival.
18-year-old Renata Barros has been working as a Britney lookalike for several months and even told the media that it was her dream to be signed up as Britney's official double.
The real Britney performs at the festival tomorrow (18 January) alongside Moraes Moreira, Sandy & J·nior, Aaron Carter, Five and NSync.
Britney's Double Act
Wednesday, 5 Mar 2003
Pop princess Britney Spears is so terrified of a Japanese stalker - she's hired a lookalike to act as a decoy. The star was spotted with the double going to the ladies' room together in LA club White Lotus at the weekend. Britney first feared for her safety last year when obsessed Japanese fan Masahiko Shizawa started sending her notes and began following her. Although Shizawa has since returned to Japan, he has launched a US court campaign to return to America. A witness at the White Lotus says, "They were wearing identical low-cut jeans, ab-baring white mini-tops and matching baseball caps with two braids popping out." A source close to Britney explains, "An aide came up with the decoy idea after hearing that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has look-a-likes dressed as him because he fears assassination. Britney is hoping everyone will think she keeps a decoy around to lose the photographers who follow her everywhere in Los Angeles. But the reason is that she wants to give unruly fans and dangerous stalkers the slip."
