We're sure that sometimes celebrities don't mind being mistaken for each other. If you're Stephen Dorff and your local Starbucks barista screams, "Ohmigod, Brad Pitt, I love you!" you'd probably be OK with it. But Rihanna being mistaken for Prince? That's probably not helping her self esteem. Reports Pop Crunch:
Rihanna might want to consider growing her hair back. Star Magazine snitches say Rih-Rihís new do has fans mistaking the Grammy Award-winning islander for music legend Prince.Celebrity spies claim Rihanna was ìmortifiedî when a crowd of excited fans addressed her as the ìPurple Oneî as she walked through a London airport late last month.
ìSome fans screamed out ëPrinceí when they saw her,î one witness whispers. ìBut when they got close enough to ask for an autograph, they realized he was she.î
ìShe didnít know what to say.î
We know these people probably spotted Rihanna from afar, but didn't they think something was a little off? Ri-Ri is 5'9", and Prince is roughly the size of an ottoman. Did they think he was standing on the shoulders of Hayden Panettiere or something? Also, in our experience Rihanna doesn't tend to wear much velvet, and we're pretty sure that Prince took George Costanza's dream of living a life draped in the stuff to heart.
(And, yes, we realize that we're partying like it's 1999óor rather 1984ówith two Prince stories in one week, but what can we say; we've got a Smurf fetish, and this sort of fits in.)
