Are any pop stars original anymore?

<img alt="Tim Mosenfelder and Andreas Rentz/Getty Images" title="Tim Mosenfelder and Andreas Rentz/Getty Images" src="http://a323.yahoofs.com/phugc/ZRJPLlBM8GCB/photos/53d1703eb3875b7edc522d4b20b6747a/mr_e0b81eb703bcd7.jpg?ug_____DB.prCRJw" align="left" height="400" width="363">This weekend we saw a video of Britney Spears performing at an award show (her first live routine since her last VMA disaster and joining Madonna on stage one night during her “Sticky &amp; Sweet” tour) and we couldn’t help but notice some wardrobe similarities. As Cher would say in “Clueless,” “Was that you going through my dirty laundry?” Is there any way this costume resemblance was a coincidence? <br><br>Next up, Christina Aguilera and budding star Lady Gaga, who emerged with a strikingly similar look to that of Xtina’s latest incarnation. From photo shoots and videos to blunt blonde bangs and space age stage outfits, their images are virtually interchangeable at this point. <br><br>Speaking of space age, everyone’s been freaking out over Beyonce’s latest futuristic robot look, complete with chrome glove. But where have we seen that before? Oh yes, fellow R&amp;B singer Rihanna. <br><img alt="Perez" title="Perez" src="http://a323.yahoofs.com/phugc/ZRJPLlBM8GCB/photos/aaa9f1e37ead1ca953e85760478e0464/mr_465751a78cef92.jpg?ug_____DMN4rkEly" align="left" height="322" width="400"><br><br>Also, we’d like to note that Perez Hilton, though we can’t stand his hating, has done an excellent job of documenting and pointing out these “borrowed” looks. We guess scrutiny can be entertaining at times. <br>&nbsp;[<a rel="nofollow" href="http://perezhilton.com/2008-11-27-taking-notes-from-madonna%20">Perez</a>][<a rel="nofollow" href="http://perezhilton.com/2008-11-11-just-sayin-10%20">Perez</a>][<a rel="nofollow" href="http://perezhilton.com/2008-11-26-lady-gaga-plays-it-diplomatically%20">Perez</a>]<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><img alt="Perez" title="Perez" src="http://a323.yahoofs.com/phugc/iYnmPEiDGCeA/photos/d6d51abc1288436f6edafa81a129069e/mr_9f3651a78cef92.jpg?ug_____DOairAzV7" align="left" height="400" width="396">

    I don't see what's so surprising. If an artist is willing to steal and sample other people's music then it's not a stretch to copy their fashion either. It really seems that Beyonce and Rhianna loved Prince, Earth Wind and Fire or David Bowie. You gotta love fashion that comes back after 30 years.

    YEa I think Rihanna did a little bit off copying Kelis ' style. I know Kelis is mad at her about it. But hey if she can rock it better? Than again whats the saying about copying is flattery? something?... Yea and Beyonce is just a copy of everyone. But I love her. I guess its only so many styles they just get recycled.

    Yeah love how Beyonce is intimidated with Rihanna and has to copy her look just like she tried to copy shakira's belly dancing, so full of herself!

    Between the copy cat artists and the endless remakes of movies, there doesn't seem to be a lot of creativity in entertainment anymore.

    Hmmm...We should blame the costume designers, not the performers.

    Well, Beyonce copies everything everyone else does, that's what her whole solo career is based on. If you don't believe me check out Youtube, it show her stealing from other musicians. Type in beyonce copycat. Enjoy!

    They are probably using the same stylists.

    i don't know why Beyonce is trying to get back at Rihanna there is no way Beyonce already made her money why fight that beautiful, talented, passionate and well groomed star called Rihanna.
