Tourists on the famed Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame got a surprise yesterday when a real, live celebrity graced them with her presence! Miley Cyrus took a stroll down the star-paved sidewalk where the Oscars were held just the night before, and fans couldn't believe their eyes ... in fact, they thought she was a look alike just trying to get attention!

Our photographer tells us: "A couple people were staring at her, saying 'No, it's not her; it's not really Miley,' and then other people finally started screaming, 'It's Miley; it's Miley!' People were looking at me as if to confirm and I nodded and told them it was really her!"

So yes, people -- if you spend the money to come to Tinseltown, you may in fact see an actual star -- and if you see an X17 photographer in front of her then yes, she's for real!
