WRT celebrity lookalikes (mostly because I'm bored of just lurking, and I mean, why the hell not, this knowledge isn't gonna get me anything anyway).
I have a friend who worked in PR for about a minute and a half (weird job, she wound up at a lot of state fairs, and she's a city girl if e'er there were one). Part of her job (and I believe a significant reason why she quit) was herding semi-professional celebrity lookalikes to their appearances at the proper time. (whenever I get depressed about being a philosopher, I remember that there are semi-pro celeb lookalikes)
They don't actually look that much like the celebrity, it's a lot of artful hatwearing and context suggestion.
So, I suppose we could look at celeb lookalikes in a couple of ways, either they evolve their appearance to converge on the celebrity's niche, or there's a sucker born every minute.
