This is so funny!!  PIERS MORGAN & CNN: Whitney Houston... Has a Pen/is Whitney Houston is a 5'9" German dude ... at least, if you believe Piers Morgan.  Allow us to explain -- Morgan was talking to LL Cool J about Whitney's life during the July 6th episode of his CNN show and aired some generic footage of the singer to accompany the interview. Problem is, the woman in the footage isn't Whitney ... and isn't even a woman -- it's a celebrity drag queen named Ikenna Beney Amaechi. We spoke with Ikenna ... a charming fellow from Berlin ... who tells us, "I was just sitting at home and at first I didn’t realize it, but then it hit me like BOOM! It wasn’t Whitney … It was me!” Ikenna tells us he's been "playing" Whitney for 21 years (video below) and the picture used by CNN is from the 2008 Reel Awards Show in Las Vegas -- an event dedicated to celebrity impersonators. [flash=420,315] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhJ16O_8YDo?version=3&hl=en_US[/flash] Ikenna adds, “I feel very honored that I was mistaken for the real Whitney Houston on CNN … is there EVEN a bigger compliment for a tribute artist?!" Probably not. You go boy. . .errr. . .Girl!!! |

As the previous host of two hit talent shows- Britain's Got Talent and America's Got Talent- You would think Piers Morgan would be able to recognise Whitney Houston. |

mkmyers45: I hope you understand what drag queen and cross-dresser mean ryt? yeah, a male who dresses up in women's clothing, typically for public performance... I mean he ain't a tranny and I don't think most gay men re crossdressers... they want to be identified as men who love men (sickest thing ever) |
