I don't actually know who either of these people are, so you could use them directly and I wouldn't know it was a celebrity story. How about Marge Simpson and Gerald Ford instead?

Reverie35,
As far as your story goes, Tourguide makes a good point (althought I don't know who those women are, either). Can't you just use the names directly? I thought that part of the price of being a celebrity was that you're fair game for parody, etc. Is it fair to ask what celebrities you had in mind?
