Celebrity sculptures always attract our attention and why not, we love to witness our celebs to be immortalized. Sculptures lend beauty, importance or heroic qualities to the entity portrayed by it; moreover, no sculpture is made without theme like Paris Hilton’s sculpture warns teens about drinking and chronic dumbness. Therefore, every sculpture tells something to us in its own way. Here I have collected some outstanding celebrity statues that just caught my attention and I can bet it will mesmerize you also.

B.B. King:
When we are talking about sculptures, how can we forget the legendary bluesman B.B. King, who is known for hits like 1970 version of The Thrill is Gone, as well as for naming his guitar Lucille. The legendary singer’s sculpture autographed by Ms. Mongeon, the creator of the sculpture, is an amazing work of art. It seems as if it will speak now only. When King saw his sculpture he said, ‘No other artist has yet to capture such as likeness. It’s strange to sit here looking at myself. It looks like it could speak.’
