Stardoll is helping out celebrity admirers who want to steal the style of the stars, with its virtual paper doll Web site, www.stardoll.com . Like most paper-related pastimes, paper dolls are moving online and the site gives users the chance to generate a virtual mini-me, as well as dress-up celebrity look-alikes.

With a lengthy list of celebrities, the site offers users the chance to customize everyone from Disney Channel superstars such as Ashley Tisdale and Drake Bell to pop stars Hilary Duff, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. Hunky stars such as Tom Brady, Bow Wow and Jake Gyllenhaal are there as well.

Using Stardollars, users can dress up their dolls with items such as "Gwen Stefani Denims" and a "Giselle Bundchen top." They can also buy accessories as well as animal companions for their dolls using the 25 Stardollars given to new members. To purchase more Stardollars, users or their parents can make online credit card payments. They offer 50 Stardollars for $5.49, 100 for $9.99, 150 for $13.99 or the X-Large pack of 300 Stardollars for $27.98.

Once users have created dolls and purchased outfits, the dolls can be placed into different scenes, with the option of adding friends and flair.

The site also has social-networking features, where users can add friends from around the world and create a profile including their favorite celebrity and future dream job. Plus, Stardoll sponsors daily contests that award titles such as "Covergirl" and "Scenery Winner" to those with the best look or scene. The winners get a sweet Stardollar reward and are featured on the site's homepage.

So next time you find yourself a little envious of Beyonce's red-carpet look or Fergie's athletic style, hop onto Stardoll and steal it for your virtual self.
