In order:
5. Jennifer Lopez - WeeLo
4. Donald Trump - You're cloned!
3. Tom Cruise - MI4
2. R Kelly - R you serious with that song?!
and clearly,
1. Paris Hilton - so she won't miss out on gaining more free publicity by disgracing herself in public while she's incarcerated

A public figure that I think is bold enough to wish upon a second version of themselves would have to be Naomi Campbell because she's to into herself.

I think that Oprah would clone herself if she had the chance beacuses she rules the female population

I really agree with Miss Landy saying that Paris Hilton won't miss out on gaining free publicity because she will go on any red carpet to expose herself and she would go out with a different guy every night to cause chaos with the paparazzi.

I think P. Diddy is bold enough to wish upon the world a second version of himself. ( Sean Combs, Puff Daddy, Diddy, P Diddy)

Someone who would wish upon a second version of themself would be Selena so that she could of furthered her career as a singer.

I agree with Matilda because Oprah has done nice things in the past like opening a school for girls in africa, paying a vaction trip for wach of her employee and their family, buying each audience a car, etc. So I think she if she clone herself she can continue doing all these nice things

I think Tyra Banks would is bold enough to wish upon the world a second version of herself. When she's on her show she constantly talks about how great she seems to be, and she's really vein. Her show isn't inspirational at all, and she also constantly talks about beauty like it's everything. She should be talking about beneficial things like education, or problems in society that we should fix.

I believe that Madonna would be bold enough because she has already been through so many transformations since shes started her career and she set so many trends.

Unknown said...

I believed that a public figure who will want a second version of themselves would be Lindsay Lohan. I believe this because she might want to get more publicity and create more controversy.

Unknown said...

I think Hugh Grant, because he seemslike he is in love with himself. Sylvester Stallone would also wish upon the world a second version of himself so he can film more Rocky movies! Chris Kattan, Will Ferrel, and last but not least, Ms. Landy's all time favorite person BOB SAGET. hahahahah

In my opinion i would say anglelia jolie because she belives she can save the world by adopting a child in every country. =)

Unknown said...

A public figure that I think would clone themselves is Usher because he is very arrogant and I think he'd like to have another version of himself to show off his talent.

Unknown said...

I believe that donald trump would wish a second him because he is so full of himself

i think i would have to agree with Landy. Paris Hilton would deffinitly clone herself because she's so full of herself and she's not that smart and would agree with anything.

Unknown said...

The public Figure that i believe is eager to wish upon the world a second version of his or herself is Tyra banks becasue on the show America's Next Top Model, it seems as if she wants all of the girls to be just like her, and she considers herself flawless.

Unknown said...

A celebrity that would wish upon a second version of themself would probably be Beyonce because, she thinks she is such a Diva and she tries so hard to be in the public eye everything from dating Jay-z to creating her own clothes line

Unknown said...

A public figure that i would choose would be Kanye West. He is the type of person who loves himself and is the type of guy who would do anything to expose himself more to the world.

Unknown said...

a public figue that i believe would clone themselves would be Simon Cowell because he believes if there are more people like him on earth who gives great opinions on singers, we would have better singing artist out there. He is the best and real honest judge on American Idol.

Ummm... The Public Figure I think that would clone themself would have to be Bush becaus he's so bad and lazy he would rather be playing goft and falling off scotters than be a president.

Unknown said...

I think Paris Hilton is bold enough to wish upon the world a second version of herself so she can just admire herself without having to look in a mirror.

Unknown said...

I think that Tara Banks is someone who looks capable of cloning herself. She is so into herself and her personality says it all.
