As if looking at the wax figures of historic cultural icons wasn't eerie enough, Tussauds is adding here-today, gone-tomorrow pop icons like Rihanna and Miley Cyrus to the fold.
Madame Tussauds, the famed House of Wax in Washington, D.C., has long been known for capturing pop culture immortals, but over the last few years has added creepy waxen likenesses of disposable pop icons in efforts to keep up with America's fast-food drive thru culture as it applies to "stars". Statues of Ryan Seacrest, Amy Winehouse, Paris Hilton and now Rihanna join the likes of true immortals Denzel Washington, James Dean and Audrey Hepburn in Tussauds' International collection. The latter two are spinning in their graves at what it now takes to gain entry; Denzel to join them whenever he leaves this mortal plane.
The displays make the rounds amongst show rooms in the U.S., Europe, England and Asia and also include international stars like Jackie Chan, Helen Mirren, Muhammed Ali and members of various ruling families and politicians.
