Britney gets a double

Britney Spears is using a decoy.

The princess of pop hired a Brazilian look-alike during her stay in Rio this week, AFP reports.

Renata Barros, who's posing as Britney, is being used to distract fans and rabid photographers from the true star.

"She asked for a double who could confuse fans and journalists when she comes out of the hotel, so that she can have things a bit quieter around town," Renata told AFP.

Renata's job when Britney isn't in town is as a Britney impersonator, and she would love to be Britney's double in the U.S.

Britney is expected to arrive in Rio de Janeiro today (Wednesday) for her appearance in the Rock In Rio festival.
