Don't be surprised if a slew of celebrities declares war on photographer Alison Jackson with the release of the clever new Taschen book "Confidential," in which she portrays look-alikes of top actors, actresses and political figures in highly unflattering situations.
Among the realistic-looking fakes are: Brad Pitt shaving Angelina Jolie's legs; a jailed Paris Hilton paying another inmate to scrub her toilet bowl; Mick Jagger getting his lips injected with collagen; a masked Michael Jackson putting lipstick on a crying baby; Catherine Zeta-Jones helping Michael Douglas fit into a corset; Jennifer Lopez struggling to pull a pair of jeans over her ample caboose; Queen Elizabeth II, panties down, sitting on the john; Richard Gere and the Dalai Lama being served by a topless waitress and President Bush and Tony Blair relaxing in white bathrobes as Blair strums a guitar.
Jackson says her book reveals what people imagine celebrities might do behind closed doors. But to avoid lawsuits, a disclaimer reads, "All well-known individuals depicted in this book are not 'real.' [They] have not approved them, nor has their approval been sought . . . "
