Could you spot a Beyonce Impersonator?

Well, these fools at a Vienna museum couldn't. The reps for the museum were all up in arms when they gave some chick the VIP tour thinking she was Mrs. Carter, and then pictures started popping up online of Beyonce shopping yesterday at the same time old girl was getting the tour.

Turns out is was all a hoax, here's what happened:

The Albertina Museum in Austria got an exciting call on Tuesday: A manager for Beyoncé Knowles said that the star was on her way over.

“We have had Brad Pitt and Nicolas Cage visit here,” says museum press officer Verena Dahlitz. “So this was not big news for us – to have celebrities visit.”Thirty minutes later, a stretch limo arrived and a sunglass-wearing woman stepped out surrounded by five burly bodyguards. Museum officials were immediately skeptical. “She was too thin for Beyoncé,” says Dahlitz. “I thought she had probably lost weight.”

Still, the museum director gave the woman a VIP tour. After all, there were screaming fans outside, and officials assumed that she was just one of those stars who look different in person than they do on television. Later, the museum learned that the woman actually wasn’t Knowles, but an impersonator sent by a local radio station, Krona Hit Radio.“We were fooled,” admits Dahlitz. But the museum is taking the prank in stride: “We must be the most important museum in Vienna,” says Dahlitz, “because they chose us.”

It may just be me. but I would have known this chick wasn't B from a mile away. And if I was B, I'd have my lawyers paying a visit to this radio station for using my name and my fame for publicity and sending a busted ass Sasha Fake at that...

And speaking of Ms. Beyonce, the real Sasha Fierce had a tour stop in Prague for her "I Am...Tour" and killed this Crazy in Love performance:

It's amazing how relevant this song still is 6 years later, a true classic. Tickets for Beyonce's U.S. leg of the "I Am...Tour" are on sale now. DONT SLEEP ON IT!
