WTF, Fake Steven Slater?

Both Page Six and Next Magazine's Nexus blog are reporting that Steven Slater partied with Daniel Nardicio on his XXX Birthday Cruise on Sunday. Except that's totally not Steven Slater.
According to US Weekly, the former JetBlue flight attendant turned flash-in-the-pan folk hero spent his weekend hanging with Barry effing Manilow. And, of course, Gawker provides us with a handy Fake-Steven-Slater-spotting-system:
"People never look carefully at men with Steven Slater's body type (we save our ogling for svelte hotties) so if you are one, it's easy to pretend you are someone else. For instance, Page Six's photo editors probably noticed Fake Steven Slater's wide, square chin and heavy jowls—but failed to notice that he lacks the real Steven Slater's trademark chin dimple.
Other discrepancies: Fake Steven Slater isn't blond enough. His forehead is too small. His sideburns are too long. (Real Steven Slater's were short on Saturday when he met Barry Manilow, so there's no way he grew them that fast.) And he drinks Budweiser, when we all know that Blue Moon is the real Steven Slater's beer of choice."
So, now the question remains: Was Daniel Nardicio in on the ruse? If we're to believe his Facebook posts today, Playgirl's director of marketing is as surprised as the rest of us:
"this is actually more fun now than if it'd had [sic] actually been steven slater!"
