Edit: Interesting story from a commenter worth adding here, cheers: "Jay-Z worries about Beyonce's Multiple Personality Disorder"..."Jay-Z can't keep her on a leash". Expected, all of these stars (Britney's described here) have MPD (Christina's dad was physically and verbally abusive also, to complete the trinity; I'm sure in a couple of years we'll be hearing the same things coming from her). Edit: And speaking of Britney; the next main MPDisney Princess Miley Cyrus AND Britney will be appearing (was not aware MC was on it too; Britney on the later results show) on the X-Factor tonight... with Simon Cowell who is obsessed with mirrors (for MK purposes, obviously not for the reasons stated in the article).
To clarify, the following is copied and pasted from this Daily Mail link, with my added images and such to show more similarities that they missed.
As her alter ego, Sasha Fierce, Beyoncé is strong, bold and fearless. But not, it seems, entirely unique.
On closer inspection, it appears the singer has borrowed much of her style from other stars.
On a recent shoot for her new music video, she donned a mermaid-style dress that couldn't fail to turn heads.
Haven't I seen that dress before? On a recent video shoot, Beyoncé donned a mermaid-style gown that Jennifer Lopez wore ten years ago
But it wasn't just the sequins that caught the eye. Ten years ago, Jennifer Lopez was photographed in the same shimmering gown.
The 27-year-old also seems to have drawn inspiration from Kylie Minogue, who wore metallic gold gloves during her KylieX2008 tour.
As her Sasha Fierce persona, Beyoncé is particularly fond of a cyborg-style glove that she sports on her left hand.
Robopop: Beyoncé stepped out on stage in a robotic ensemble remarkably similar to one worn by Kylie Minogue in 2002
The singer made another nod to Kylie when she stepped out on stage at an awards show dressed head to toe as a robot - a remarkably similar outfit to one worn by the Australian singer six years ago.
Another star to have captured Beyoncé's imagination is Rihanna.
Photographs promoting her third studio album, I am... Sasha Fierce, show Beyoncé in dark eye make-up resembling that worn by Rihanna in her video for Disturbia.
If the glove fits: Beyoncé's cyborg style glove [also same one in Too Funky video] echoes Kylie's gold pair [and MANY others]
On stage too, both performers have worn striking, big-shouldered ensembles.
In some outfits, Beyoncé pays homage to not one but two stars.
One promotional shot sees her in a bright motorcycle bustier that was worn in the 1992 for George Michael's Too Funky, and was more recently seen on model Alice Dellal.
And in one dramatic stage entrance, Beyoncé descends from on high in a long, billowing ensemble, just as Britney Spears has done before her, and as Angelina Jolie did in the movie Mr and Mrs Smith.
So if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, there a number of stars with a good reason to feel smug.
In a recent interview with V Magazine, the 27-year-old explained that she has long felt like a totally different person on stage, hence the name change.
She said: 'When I'm onstage I'm aggressive and strong and not afraid of my sexuality. The tone of my voice gets different, and I'm fearless. I'm just a different person.
'It's a way for me to differentiate what I do onstage from who I really am - It's a way for me to not lose myself, to keep my life in perspective, because it's really hard sometimes to stay on earth when you're a celebrity.
'There's so much going on, and so many people give you whatever you want and say everything you do is great.'
Making an entrance: She descends onto the stage, just like Britney before her and in a similar manner to Angelina Jolie
Beyoncé has discussed her stage persona, previously known as simply just 'Sasha', before, but the singer is now making the alter ego more prominent than ever.
Her 17-track double-disco album, which was released in the UK last week, has already entered the Japanese International Album Chart at number one following an earlier release date.
It comes as the singer prepares for a huge 110-date world tour starting next year. She is destined to hit London's O2 Arena in May, where she will perform tracks from the album including If I Were A Boy and Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).
Funky: Her motorcycle bustier is certainly dramatic, but it's by no means a one-off, as proven by Alice Dellal (below left) and a George Michael video (right Daily Mail link)

People think that stars choose their own clothes and production values, press etc. Not true. Someone as big as Beyonce has a team of people telling her what to wear. Trust me, they know those dresses have been worn before.
It all fits in with what they want at the moment. If they want a star to be original and adored by the public they will find ways to make her look unique and cool. Beyonce's star is falling that's why they are deliberately making her look like a fool.
Beyonce has no say over anything in her life, let alone what she wears :P It's all under the control of her handlers (who are yes obviously aware of where else it has been used, it's all part of ritualizing their star puppets); as are all these stars equally as controlled. I think there is much more to it than just making her look like a fool because her popularity is declining however (if they really wanted to make her look like a fool they could do MUCH worse than making her wear clothes that have already been worn, which obviously most people won't know anyway), dunno if you saw this post but I think they still have big plans for her.
Thanks for links Chris; had some posted already, Miles was wearing a nice checkerboard belt in tonight's X-Factor performance... (singing her '777777777' [occult] 7 Things song, "when we kiss I'm hypnotized", no doubt) waiting to see what they dress Britney up in later tonight ;p
Apparently that's Julie Newmar (CATWOMAN) in the George Michael video, in the black leotard, acting hysterical.
From wiki:
She is best known for her 13-episode recurring role on the 1960s TV series Batman as the "purrfect" villainess, Catwoman (portrayed in the related 1966 feature film by Lee Meriwether and in the series' final season by Eartha Kitt).
And what d'ya know:
Newmar starred as "Rhoda the Robot" in the short-lived TV series My Living Doll (1964-1965).
The series starred Bob Cummings as Dr. Bob McDonald, a psychologist who is given care of Rhoda, a life-like gynoid (played by Julie Newmar) in the form of a sexy, Amazonian female, by her creator, a scientist who did not want her to fall into the hands of the military. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Rhoda's real name was AF709, and she was a prototype robot that Dr. Carl Miller built for the U.S. Air Force. When Dr. Miller was about to be transferred to Pakistan, he gives his friend, Air Force psychologist Bob McDonald the job of completing the education of the sophisticated (yet naive) robot. Bob's job is to teach Rhoda how to be a "perfect" woman, and keep her identity secret from the world. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

my head just exploded...and i peed my pants.
According to The Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang, My Living Doll is the source of the science fiction phrase "Does not compute" in popular culture.
hmmmmmmm.......
Not that i'm a pop culture freak at all, but i had never heard of this show before tonight.
Yes, they still have big plans for her, but look where Jennifer Lopez is now.... Nowhere. If its ritualized to put her in that dress its not a good sign. Also I notice people are getting tired of her ridiculous diva getups if you read celeb blogs. She's not in a good place.
Jennifer Lopez is nowhere? That woman is super rich! And has 2 kids now. I don't think she cares anymore about showbiz and probably thinks she's paid her dues and was was shaking her ass when it mattered the most: when she was young(er). I could be wrong, of course.
word verification: sheaker (!)
Remember, Beyonce wants to be and icon, she's said it herself, and who makes icons? GAY MEN create the icons. She's not stopping anytime soon. Who put her up to all these copy cat things? The choreography in that ridiculous thing called 'Put A Ring On It' is from something called Fosse(?) from the 60's 70's(?) I'm sure she wasn't on youtube looking up ideas herself, her choreographers(gay men) do all of that. All of Beyonces' friends and working relations are gay men. I'm pretty sure then girl has no real women friends.
i guess what i am trying to say here is: greed, greed, more fame, more adulation, more, more more. They are greed monsters and hungry ghosts.
ok yes, Jennifer Lopez has money, but career wise?
All these narcissists want to be relevant and feted in the public eye. When they're not they aren't successful especially in their own minds.
Beyonce is not so 'hot' anymore is what I'm saying and for a star that is not good.
I just think "JLo" isn't really pushing to have her career back to begin with, It'd be more appropriate to make the comparison with someone like say, Lauryn Hill.
I agree with that you're are saying, by the way, sorry i'm nitpicking.
Anony, Lauryn Hill is a WHOLE other story! She was 'taken out' driven mad by some guru she got involved with. If you listen to her interviews now she talks about how f***** up the music industry is on a spiritual level and how she wasn't able to create the music she really wanted because they wanted to pigeon-hole her into something like what Beyonce and Rihanna do. Poor thing was too real for them, thank god.
Great Post! It also hit me that many of these MC Sex Kittens have what is known in Japanese as "sanpaku", especially the pic of Amerie looking straight at you. Sanpaku is a Japanese term that literally means “three whites.” Some people believe that it is a sign of physical and spiritual imbalance if the white of the eye can be seen between the pupil and the lower lid as the subject looks forward. Such a condition is called sanpaku and those afflicted with it are said to be recognizable by their "chronic fatigue, low sexual vitality, poor instinctive reactions, bad humor, inability to sleep soundly and lack of precision in thought and action." Check it out.
Anony, yes i'm aware of Lauryn, that's why i brought her up. I really hope she is ok.
I ran to the mirror to see if i had sanpaku :)
Remember the "runaway bride"?
http://www.crimerant.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/mug-shot_runaway-bride%5B1%5D.jpg
this is not the one i am talking about but look at her eyes. I always thought the crazy was apparent if the top white could be seen right under the eyelid. But is see the bottom too!
This is the pic i was talking about, i guess it IS the same woman. Most pictures i have seen her eyes show both top and bottom white.

The motorcycle dress is made by Thierry Mugler, who also directed the video for George Michael's Too Funky (1992). All outfits in that clip are made by him ( including Kylie's 'robot'-outfit, he made more robot-themed stuff in that period). He now focuses on perfumes, with names like A-men, Alien and Angel.(wiki)

i think that dress that u say is a mermaid dress is actually a monarch butterfly wrap around her body. u can tell becuase of the eye looking things on it.
I would love to see a post done about Lauryn Hill.
when observed keenly the " mermaid "
dress looks alot like a butterfly.
(symbolic of monarch programming ).
different artists wear the same attire
because they've gone through the
same programming & are therefore
propagating the same agenda. the
" powers that be " select select their
outfits for their photo shoots /videos /
performances to get their message
across to the masses surreptitiously.
