If an ordinary person who performs as a comedian-singer-actress and bills herself as a "Madonna impersonator" and gets paid for doing a performance while mimicking Madonna's voice, dress, and mannerisms, this is not a crime.
However, if any person takes another identity and tries to bilk people into donating for a cause, or get donated goods from people, it can be criminal impersonation.
If you impersonate under the criminal statutes in your State to avoid being arrested for a crime you committed, you would likely be charged with criminal impersonation.
