Best way to get Cruise and Kidman back together

There really aren't many party hosts who can say they've nabbed Streisand double-dipping her celery sticks. Fewer still who can brag about the time they told Travolta to stop boring the guests with all that Scientology crap. And who wouldn't jump at the chance to tap Whoopi Goldberg on the shoulder and tell her to stop making movies? But this is Boston, where you're as likely to come across a celebrity as you are a talking rabbit. The Rockland-based Impostor Bostonians, however, offers the next-best thing. For 200 bucks you can hire a Nomar look-alike to delight guests with his sleeve-fiddling routine, or a Bill Clinton to chat up the caterers, or a Britney Spears to sing "Oops, I Did it Again" as she slops a glass of merlot down your shirt. Most intriguingly, you can have a reunited Tom and Nicole mingling with your guests. Though the duo will set you back about a grand (Kidman has to fly in from Florida), the agency's owner, Ron Bartells, promises you'll get your money's worth. "They'll act how you want them to act," he says. "If you want them to argue, they'll argue."

Impostor Bostonians, (781) 871-1715.
