Show confuses drag queen with Houston

By Randee Dawn

Have the memories faded so quickly? Musician L.L. Cool J.?joined Piers Morgan's CNN show, "Piers Morgan Tonight," on Friday to remember late singer Whitney Houston, who died Feb. 11.

But the video that aired during the tribute?wasn't of Houston: It was of a male German celebrity impersonator named Ikenna Beney Amaechi, according to TMZ. Here are?his website?and YouTube channel.

Ikenna Beney Amaechi as Whitney Houston.

The website spoke with Amaechi, a native German with Nigerian heritage, who said he'd been playing Houston for over 20 years, and was "very honored" that he could be mistaken for the real deal.

"Is there even a bigger compliment for a tribute artist?" he asked.?

"Oops," tweeted Morgan?after TMZ posted the story. "OK, it's a fair cop. You got me!"
