Just fyi, if you do this and post it on YouTube it may get yanked. Using someone else's photographic work in your production without licensing the image is a copyright violation, and I've heard that YouTube is pretty sticky about that.

Could you cast a look-alike instead?

Used foreground miniature technique google for it..

Which led me to this awsome, if outdated doc..

In most cases satire and/or parody are acceptable uses of celebrities images.

benj09, you can buy them and you can make them.

I wasn't thinking about the rights of the celebrity, per se, but more about the copyright owned by the photographer or publisher of a particular image. Maybe there is no difference, in which case that's news to me.
