Beyonce Impostor Fools Austrian Museum

A woman claiming to be singer-actress Beyonce Knowles was given a VIP tour of the Albertina Museum in Vienna, Austria on Tuesday, People.com reports. The museum received a call supposedly from Knowles' manager thirty minutes prior to the arrival, letting them know the star was on her way.

Museum officials were not initially skeptical since celebrity visits are not unusual, the museum's press officer said.

However, when the Beyonce look-alike emerged from her limo, her oversized sunglasses and thin frame cast some doubt. "She was too thin for Beyonce," the press officer said.

The impostor was given a tour anyway under the rationale that some stars look different in person than on television. The museum later found out the truth--that the woman claiming to be Beyonce was sent there by a local radio station playing a prank on the museum.

Twitterers were shocked that the Beyonce impersonator was so successful in her trickery.
