Darrell Duffey lands Chinese TV gig from attending The Reel Awards and CIC    http://www.examiner.com/acting-in-national/darrell-duffey

Chinawood, China - Darrell Duffey, an American actor and celebrity impersonator to that of former President Richard Nixon, is currently in China at Hengdian World Studios shooting a TV series. April 5, 2012 was the first opportunity Duffey has had to communicate with examiner.com since he left America.

Duffey already had a somewhat natural "look" of Nixon, and last year he was finally recognized professionally due to his attending a lookalike convention. The event was Celebrity Impersonators Convention (CIC) and The Reel Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada

Heads will turn    Heads will turn

Is that Willie Nelson at the blackjack table? Jay Leno in the coffee line? Heads will turn and you might just be fooled next week when the Golden Nugget hosts the 11th Annual Celebrity Impersonators Convention.

Fans of tribute artists will have a full buffet of look-alikes, with indoor showcases in the hotel's showroom on Tuesday and Wednesday (which are $10 for those who don't sign up for the whole enchilada) and free showcases on the outdoor Fremont Street Stage Monday through Wednesday at 8 p.m.

It all culminates with next Thursday afternoon's Reel Awards in the Nugget, a spoofy version of the Oscars complete with red carpet and the rare opportunity to see an event hosted by both Johnny Carson (Jeff DeHart) and Jay Leno (Marcel Forestieri). ...

THE REEL AWARDS - CELEBRITY IMPERSONATORS

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- There's probably only one way you'd get these names all in one room: Ozzy Osbourne, Lady Gaga, Johnny Depp, Willie Nelson, Jay Leno, Cher, Brooks and Dunn, Criss Angel, Oprah Winfrey, Bette Midler, Steven Spielberg, Elizabeth Taylor and dozens of others. It might happen only if impersonators are playing these stars. That's what they're doing tomorrow in Las Vegas at the 20th annual Reel Awards, R-E-E-L. Everyone there won't be who they say they are: the hosts, nominees, presenters and entertainers. All of them will be impersonators. Though the Reel Awards spoof other awards shows, it's actually a serious awards show for excellence in impersonation. It's open to the public. Details are at www.thereelawards.com

Myers, Fla.); Peter Banks Humanitarian, Sheri Rae Parker as Bette Midler (Las Vegas); Tribute Band, Danny D as Rod Stewart & The Vagabonds (Detroit); and Print Media: Frank Marino as Joan Rivers and Divas Las Vegas (Las Vegas).

Real Fakes Take Over Vegas    AOL News

LAS VEGAS -- "Sarah Palin" is a little wigged out at the moment in more ways than one. She's darting around her hotel room frantically searching for her drop earrings, which, she says, she simply cannot go out without. And, also, the bump of chestnut hair on the top of her head is a little off-kilter, so she tries a few more times to adjust her hairpiece.

I dragged Amy along to shoot the 11th Annual Celebrity Impersonators Convention at the Golden Nugget earlier this week. I had this brainstorm to see if we could go to the room of one of the attendees to watch her transformation. My piece for AOL News posted on Thursday.

Double-talk. The Academy Awards ceremony isn't the only place to see celebrities this Sunday. In fact, the awards show Bill Geist attends is a great place to see even more celebrities - some that have been gone for years. He reports from the REEL Awards in Las Vegas where celebrity impersonators vied for the coveted Can award.
