If you look at the close-ups below, you will notice that from the left side the sculpture is very different from the real Emma. There is a slightly better resemblance from the right angle.

Watson is going to be honored at the MTV Movie Awards in April with a special prize. She will be receiving the Trailblazer Award in rec...

The Gervin wax museum in Paris just unveiled its figure of actress Penelope Cruz. The sculpture is dressed in a bright blue dress with jeweled accents. We think they got Penelope's figure just right, but the face isn't spot on.
