Imitation is the sincerest form of myspace flattery.

Which celebrity or fictional character has the most fake myspace profiles?

There's a bunch of Paris Hiltons, and hundreds of Yodas. Is there any way to know for sure who is the most popular celebrity alter ego?

Even the most random "celebs" have fakers- you wouldn't believe how many fake profiles there are for the wives of the guys in Hanson.

o_0 is right. But I am friends with at least six of them.

There were guys in Hanson?

Anyway, I think the only way to really know is to search by individual celeb, then compare the results.

Though I'm sure it's safe to assume that there's a direct correlation between the popularity of the celebrity and the number of fake myspace profiles.

There are several hundred Tom Anderson parodies, as well......

And throw in misspellings and alternate spellings.

(And what's with all three Hansons marrying women born in 1983?)

Hanson... wives?

Not only do I feel old, but my gaydar has been proven, yet again, to never ever work on guys.

But, um. Try trolling the gossip blogs -- whoever gets the most mentions probably has a lot of fake myspaces. So, I'm betting Paris Hilton.

I don't know if this applies to MySpace necessarily, but there are a LOT of "fake" profiles on LJ that are part of role-playing games.

There are hundreds (if not over a thousand) of profiles for Peter Griffin of The Family Guy. I discovered this when searching for my ex-boyfriend, who is also named Peter Griffin.
