The example pages are filled to the brim with examples that violate the basic premise of the trope, namely cases where a celebrity is playing a character within a universe where the celebrity (or the media being played) explicitly also exist, such as Oceans Thirteen Tess Ocean, played by actress Julia Roberts, impersonating the "real" Julia Roberts as part of the plot.

Either the trop needs to be reworked so it matches that actual usage and a new name found for the original version, or an actual trope established for the (i think?) "playing with" version that has taken over the examples.

We need a little bit more demonstrated evidence before starting a TRS, sorry.
