A few weeks back, The Wichita Eagle brought forth the story of Jamie Greene, a young man who was experiencing the uncommon Robert Pattinson look-a-like dilemma.
When discussed here, the majority of commentators disagreed with the assertion that Greene favored Robert Pattinson to any great extent, but, apparently, the resemblance has proven enough to earn Greene a spot on The Maury Povich Show.
The story was, back in January, that many local area Twilight fans were getting Jamie Greene confused with Robert Pattinson and that it was causing him a bit of a hassle (though that did not stop Greene from attempting to make a splash at the Los Angeles premiere of The Twilight Saga: New Moon - albeit unsuccessfully).
Since then, according to a new report by the Eagle, Greene has evidently earned himself enough attention to warrant a television appearance alongside other celebrity look-a-likes.
According to the new report, after the Eagle's first story came out, the show went to great lengths to get in touch with Greene. "They called him at home. He didn't call back. They called QuikTrip for permission to call him at work. He didn't call back. Finally, they Fed-Exed him a package begging him to call back. So he did."
Apparently, he wasn't too sure whether the appearance was one which he wanted to make. It seems that hesitation quickly ended, though, because "[t]he show is flying Austin and a friend to New York City for taping at the end of this month. The show, which doesn't yet have an airdate scheduled, will be about celebrity look-alikes. There will be some type of contest among all the look-alikes on the show, and a prize for the winner."
Talk about your oddball news . . . A look-a-like gets a TV spot?
Since you've already weighed in on whether you agree that Greene looks like Pattinson, here's a new question. Is this something you'd watch on television? Why or why not?
