Crocker Cracks Crowd -- And Fake Paris

Is Internet sensation Chris Crocker starved for attention? Well, he'll never be able to get enough of that, but he looks like he might just be starving.


Crocker "performed" outside of Las Vegas hotspot Piranha (where Britney famously partied last January) and looking not unlike the current incarnation of Jenna Jameson, flashed the goods to an appreciative crowd, which thought they were waiting for Paris Hilton to make an appearance.

Fake Paris Finds Love -- NSFB

This video is Not Safe For your Breakfast! Fake Paris and "stylist" Daniel DiCriscio have found love -- with each other!


In a pairing sure to rival the appeal of Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen, the extremely awkward duo showed up at Koi together last night and proceeded to make out in front of the cameras.

Though Natalie Reid, aka Fake Paris, barely let him kiss her cheek before dinner (she's classy like that), the two were feeling loose after some sushi and had graduated to open mouth, possibly tongue action. That's not hot.

Faux Paris Imparts the Real Truth About Britney

At least one critic well-versed in the art of fakery is proclaiming Britney Spears' MTV VMA performance a masterpiece, praising it for its heat and look -- and predicting much bigger things to come from the poptastrophe. Dang, dingbat!


Defying the chorus of critical abuse Brit took for her "Gimme More" whatever-you-call-it last week, proto-Paris Natalie Reid proclaimed it "sexy," "gorgeous," and "superhot," and expressed her disappointment at not running into Ms. Spears at Les Deux.

This verdict, of course, delivered by a woman wearing a plastic green bow in her beehive-do, and a matching small Asian woman.

Baby Pap Out Past Curfew

Paperboy, babysitter, junior camp counselor -- just some of the summer jobs the average 14-year-old might have. Add "paparazzi photographer" to the list. It's ingenious really -- what celeb would turn down a kid for a pic?!

TMZ has spotted teenage photog "Austin" camped out in front of celeb eatery Koi for the past few weekends. Just this past Saturday, for example, Ryan Seacrest was in his car and ready to leave -- when he spotted the intrepid junior lensmen (who doesn't work for any agency; he's just building up his portfolio). Seacrest asked the kid, "How do you get to say out this late?" and the kid gave Ryan his business card! Guess he's already learned how to network!

And it worked! Seacrest had Austin on his KIIS-FM radio show this morning. He hits up all the usual hotspots -- Area, Mr. Chow, Il Sole -- and travels from place to place on his gas-powered scooter. He told Ryan, "It's fun and you meet a lot of people, ya know." Kids today.

Last weekend, Paris lookalike Natalie Reid posed for pics with the kid and his friend and tried to hit on them, but didn't, saying, "Right now I'll go to jail. I don't want to go to jail ... it's so scary and ghetto."

David Spade had a different take on the matter, saying that being a paparazzo was like being in a gang, and he needed to "get out now." Seems like he has things under control.

Fake Celebs Fool Real People

ABC announced today that it has ordered a new hour-long reality show called "The Imposter." The show is looking for people who can do great celebrity impressions, but can do more than just look like the famous person in question.

While ABC hasn't asked for our help, we figured we'd pitch in on the casting side and throw a few people in the mix we think would be great for the show.

Paris Hilton impersonator Natalie Reid fooled fashionistas at a Nicole Miller fashion show in New York City back in February. She sat next to former Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth and even posed for pictures with him and other adoring "fans."

Back in December, an Alan Jackson impersonator showed up at the Billboard Music Awards and was met by photogs and fans -- all arranged by Legends in Concert. Taking their cue from the "fake fans," real fans and real media began taking pictures and posing with the fake Alan Jackson. He even made his way onto the red carpet.

And in April of this year, President George W. Bush showed he has a good sense of humor by speaking at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner -- right alongside Bush impersonator Steve Bridges. At one point, Bridges quipped, "The media really ticks me off. The way they try to embarrass me by not editing what I say."

Greasy Bear And Firecrotch -- at the Same Party!

Yes, the inevitable finally happened. Brandon Davis (aka Greasy Bear) and Lindsay Lohan (aka Firecrotch) attended the same party last night -- a Fashion Week event thrown by Calvin Klein.

Brandon looked none too pleased to be asked if he saw Lohan inside, and Lindsay wasn't exactly her bubbly self either.

Guess there's no buzzkill like running into your worst nightmare.

To add to the craziness, the fake Paris also showed up, wearing a dress that has to be seen to be believed. And when she is asked about Brandon, she has a response that is just classic.

Faux Paris to Bare All

Natalie ReidNatalie Reid, a Paris Hilton look-alike, will appear in next month's issue of Playboy magazine.

The issue also features a look at the E! series "Girls Next Door" and an interview with Eva Longoria.

Playboy.com's promo for the issue says, "She went from stripping at Scores to living a socialite's life, simply because she looks exactly like Paris Hilton. You won't believe your eyes."

TMZ cameras were with Natalie in February when she took in a few shows during New York Fashion Week -- and people thought she was really Paris!
