    Picture It: Back in the Habit

    Madame Tussauds London redressed its wax figure of Whoopi Goldberg today, in honor of Whoopi's run in the West End musical version of Sister Act.

    Madame Tussauds London redressed its wax figure of Whoopi Goldberg today, in honor of Whoopi's run in the West End musical version of Sister Act. Whoopi is playing Mother Superior this time around, instead of the Reno lounge singer she played in the movie. I think we can add Sister Act to the list of things the incoming college class of 2014 doesn't know about, considering the movie came out the year they were born.

    Madame Tussauds in London has been working on its wax figure of Robert Pattinson, and the final product was revealed there this morning. They tried to get even the smallest details accurate from his trademark scruff down to his slightly pointed shoes, and it looks like girls can't keep their hands off the results. Tell us what you think of the just-unveiled wax Robert Pattinson — handsome as the real thing, or can't compare?

    Looks like Madame Tussaud's famed house of wax has some stiff competition — from Louis Tussaud's House of Wax in Great Yarmouth, England. This 53-year-old tourist attraction is famous for having wax figures that bear little to no resemblance to the celebrities they are meant to represent. So are you ready to play "name that wax head"? I thought so . . .
