BEYONCE PRANK PULLED IN VIENNA: Radio station hires lookalike to walk around and fool fans.
Kronehit radio said they also sent the double shopping and arranged an exclusive tour of the Albertina art museum, the broadcaster confirmed to Web site Earth Times. Austrian media had speculated at first that Beyonce herself had hired the lookalike, who was followed around Tuesday by deceived fans.
The station had a woman call the museum claiming to be Beyonce's manager and asking for a tour within half an hour. In the past, movie stars Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Nicolas Cage had visited the Albertina for hastily arranged special visits.
"Her face was extremely similar, but her body was totally different," said Verena Dahlitz, the museum's spokeswoman said of the Beyonce imposter, after her initial suspicion had been confirmed.
A marketing manager at Kronehit radio explained that the station had hired a German singer and model for the prank.
