Name a celebrity that actually is an Alien from Omicron Persei

Hi! We're preparing an Hallowen party and we would like to make a series of posters stating that *celebrityname* actually is an Alien! Ziggy Stardust, Michael Jackson, Amélie Nothomb come to my mind..any other suggestion :) ?
Bert Renyolds came to mind. Don't know why. He just seems alien-ish to me.

Bjork. I don't think she's even hiding it well.

Response by poster: Bowie/Bjork/Lady Gaga/Elvis for Singing, Burt Reynolds/Buscemi/Walken/Gary Busey for Acting
Honey Boo Boo and Dennis Rodman, as well as Martha Stweard - not enough well know on this side of the atlantic pond, sorry, but thanks for suggesting.
All I have is Amélie Nothomb for writers, any other suggestionf for the remaining arts?

No, no. I think you should go for the celebrities who are hiding it really well. The ones you'd never suspect would be aliens. Maybe even someone who's fallen out of the public eye lately to keep a low profile. (Or maybe someone very high profile who's really hoping you don't find out!)

Ah, not caught that you weren't in the US, sorry.
Dali for fine art, maybe? Or Gilbert and George?

(Tilda Swinton, that is)
For artists, maybe Van Gogh? I don't know if I'd rather Damien Hirst be an alien or regretfully claim him as human.

Die Antwoord, obviously. Before he "humanized" himself with his use of bigotted epithets, I would have said Michael Richards... but Emo Phillips is still in. Glen Beck. Ann Coulter. Tim Burton. Lisa Marie. Helena Bonham Carter (a pattern is emerging...). Arnold Schwartzenegger (that accent isn't really Austrian!). Michael Phelps.
And... Barack Obama. A lot of people already believe he's an alien! (Thank you, I'll be here all week. Tip your waitstaff.)

Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed, Andy Kaufman (who's still alive, of course), Blue Man Group. Dizzie Gillespie was - those cheeks were a tell. Hulk Hogan. Donald Trump (actually, just his hairpiece. The rest of him is just a transport/communication device.)
This is fun!

Response by poster: Joyce Carol Oates (a ridiculously prolific writer)
Indeed Carol Oates would perfectly fit ridicolousy prolific writer, but I'm afraid it could be misunderstood as a statement on her beauty as a female ..and that's a minefield that's better avoided, imho...whereas Nothomb's "funny" hats and all-around-personality make her more Bjork like (extravagant) imho.

That's a good idea! Anne Nicole fits "maybe alien"...so two angles .."ARE Aliens" .."Pretty much ARE Aliens".

Stephen Fry is not technically an alien, but was grown synthetically from a vat of tweed-colored goo.
Robbie Williams. That Rock DJ video where he strips off his skin and dances as a bloody skeleton... no special effects at all.

I think it would work best if you pick celebrities who come across as a little odd, awkward, or preternaturally endowed in some way.
Dolly Parton, Helen Mirren, David Duchovny, Sigourney Weaver (I mean, didn't seem a little suspicious that she was the only survivor in Alien?).
