A Marilyn Monroe expert mistook a picture of Madonna for the late singer/actress. A Las Vegas press conference was scheduled to reveal the "lost" photo today.":http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5j0PCN8hFNuMrVCUQsAK1p-p31lggD8UTFF6G1 But when two AP journalists previewed the photo, they were able to point out that it was actually a shot of Madonna hitchhiking from her 1992 book, Sex.The Monroe expert, Chris Harris, was initially contacted by Lawrence Nicastro who found the snapshot in an abandoned car at his Bronx service station. “You're right; it's Madonna," Harris said upon the realization. "If there ever was an embarrassing moment…”Throughout her career Madonna has intentionally copied Marilyn Monroe, most memorably in her "Material Girl" video where she mimics Monroe's performance of"Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend." Even "anti-Madonna Web sites":http://antimadonna.ms11.net//site_articles/ripsoff.html point out her copying different poses of deceased star.
