He's a bald guy at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills, so it's gotta be REM frontman Michael Stipe, right?
Of course not, but photogs and gawkers were all punked as they rolled tape, flashed cameras and asked for autographs.
First hint, folks. Michael doesn't have a German accent.

Move over Kate Moss, there's a new emaciated supermodel taking over the fashion world -- Michael Stipe?!
With every other celeb and model booked, fashion designer Marc Jacobs has chosen the bald, rail thin REM frontman for his fall ad campaign. It's the end of the world as we know it!
Jacobs knows that nothing sells clothes like the sight of a shirtless, bird-shouldered 47-year-old man in neon blue pants! Nurse!

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan and REM frontman Michael Stipe will headline a New York concert to urge the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
The concert, dubbed "Bring 'Em Home Now!" will be held at the Hammerstein Ballroom on March 20, the 3rd anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Rufus Wainwright and Bright Eyes will also perform, it was announced Wednesday.
Sheehan, who camped outside President Bush's ranch in Texas last year to protest the Iraq war, will speak during the concert. Her 24-year-old son, Casey, was killed in Iraq in 2004.
Chuck D, Fischerspooner, Peaches, Steve Earle and Devendra Banhart are also scheduled to perform.
"It is impossible not react to the current state of affairs through personal action and artistic production," said Casey Spooner of Fischerspooner in a statement.
Organizers said the concert will be followed by a national "Bring 'Em Home Now!" speaking tour that will feature Sheehan and various authors traveling to 15 U.S. cities in April.
More concert performers were expected to be added later.
