Im just going to buy TC and art etc. for Bill Kaulitz. Not much else to do..
You could change and tweak little bits and pieces until its almost original. i.e. Turn the bad guy into the good guy vice versa, Have a male and his girlfriend instead be gay lovers and not a bf/gf couple.

I'm not so picky about whether my pets have stories or not. I think of them more as vessels for my creativity and wit. Winehouse and Saddam are perfect examples of this. I have pretty large treasures full of items that represent those real people but I'd never create a story for either of them.
The only pet I own based off of anyone is Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, because he influenced the way I look at the world so much. That said I have no friggin' idea how long I keep him, because like most of the other people on this board, I thrive off character building. Antoine is a trophy pet.

I myself just snagged 'Tupac'. Of course I won't have any problem making a story for him, lol...
Goodluck c:
I actually have two, Frankie_Iero and Gee_Way, named after Frank and Gerard from My Chemical Romance.
I don't have to make up stories about them, they make up their own irl :)
I love Edward Norton. ❤ He's one of my favorite actors.
Anywho, I've never had a pet named after a real person.. but I wouldn't be able to work with that.. I agree that it would make me feel very unoriginal.
