Video doubles
|  | | Christina Aguilera in the "Candyman" music video | | What's with all the different versions of Avril Lavigne running around in her new video? Or, for that matter, the multiple Christinas, Ciaras and Beyoncés in theirs? Everywhere you look, it seems some pop diva has replicated herself so she's the star of her clip several times over. (Whatever happened to delegating? Surely their budgets can't be that tight.) This is nothing new, actually - Mariah and Madonna are old pros at it by now - but the idea has been spreading lately like a video virus, with Avril just the latest to be infected. This got us thinking: Are all these people copying themselves, or someone else? Mariah Carey's "Heartbreaker"
The funniest multiple-me moment? Back before Mariah became Mimi, there was Bianca. When poor, sweet, innocent Mariah tries to confront the evil Bianca about stealing her boyfriend (Jerry O'Connell) in her "Heartbreaker" video, the two end up in a bathroom brawl inspired by "Enter the Dragon". Silly, maybe, but it's a fan favorite, and from there, the floodgates opened. (MTV News)
