Hilson goes out on a shaky limb with this Twitpic …

While out partying within the past few days, R&B recording artist Keri Hilson ran into a woman who resembled the late Amy Winehouse. The singer snapped a photo and posted it on Twitter.

The caption of the photo of Miss Keri and the Winehouse look-alike read, “*gasp* Amy Winehouse resurrected to party w/ me!!! (seriously, uncanny resemblance).”

Instantly she received hundreds of tweets from Amy fans who did not find the picture funny at all, but instead perceived it as tasteless.

Hilson quickly tried to express that she meant no disrespect: “Come on, I mean no harm. All due respect. But really the resemblance freaked me out. This was simply the best tribute ever. #RIPAMYWINEHOUSE.”

She continued: “I apologize 2 anyone who might’ve taken it the wrong way. As a fan, I thought it was cool that she dressed up to honor Amy, I had no ill intent, but I understand how it appears insensitive…my bad twitterville. For real.”

What do you think? Too soon or much ado about nothing?
