I came across the site myheritage.com today, and it has a fun little program where you can upload a picture of yourself and it will tell you what celebrity you resemble. I say it's "fun" not because it's accurate, but because it's grossly inaccurate, at least it was in my case. It actually told me I look like Cuba Gooding, Jr., Greta Garbo, and professional skeptic James Randi. Last I checked I looked nothing like any of these people, and I'm also fairly certain I'm not black, or a bald white man with a beard. I have to admit I was somewhat flattered by the Greta Garbo comparison, though. Anyway, I invite our readers to check it out and report back. I'd like to know if you guys get results that are better than what I got.

My results: Janis Joplin, Dean Cain, Ronaldinho
True story, my mom does look like Janis Joplin (IMO), and I do look like my mom.
I've had people tell me I resemble Sean Hayes and Jesse Metcalfe (who look nothing alike), so I think it's about as accurate as perception can be. Thanks for the fun link :)

The site takes how you are posed and how it matches the photos they have of certain celebs than anything else. It's pretty bogus.

I did this before. Good fun. But in reality I've been told I look like a young John Tutorro and even Steve Carrell.

I put in one picture and got Sophia Loren and Tia Carrere (which I'm fine with) and I put in another picture and got Fidel Castro! Now don't I feel pretty!

Mine said I look like Matthew Fox (62%), Agatha Christie (61%), and Robert Duvall, and John Woo....
I posted a screen grab on my blog, if anyone's interested in laughing at the comparison between the hot Fox and, well, me...

They tell me my 2-year old boy (caucasian, with short red hair) looks most like Condoleeza Rice. A bit odd, I say.

My closest match was Jesse McCartney at 77% - he's a tv/singer heartthrob type. As a gal, I guess I can handle it since upward of 66% I also got Britney Spears, Jessica Alba and Martina McBride! Goooo me! LOL

I just had to say that I did a second picture, and things look even better! 75% Mischa Barton (when The OC started, my sister said, "don't you feel bad now that you're old when you used to look like Mischa Barton!" Guess I still do.), Jamie Lynn Spears (other pic it was Brit), Scarlett Johannsen, Jennifer Lopez and Bridget Bardot! Woohoo!
I'm now running my sister to see how alike we look....Her number one is ....Jamie Lynn Spears! Waddya know.

I officially love this website. It says I look like Scarlett Johansson. Of course, if you saw me in person, you'd be very disappointed because I look nothing like her (but a girl can dream!).

I got Marilyn Monroe, Madonna, Uma Thurman, Geri Halliwell, Cindy Crawford, Britney Spears, Debbie Harry, Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johannsson And people always say that I look like marilyn monroe, maddonna, and debbie harry so I would have to say for me it's true. I noticedthat my sisters got some of the same people as me. At times it's the pose and at times it is dead on.

Back when I was in Jr. High and High School (70's - 80's). They said I looked liked Richard Pryor! I didn't see it until I looked at my pics years later! Then when I was in my late 20's till mid/late late 30's until now (40's), they say I look a (little) like Denzel with my closely cut haircut and smile!I do agree a little. Sometimes I do agree, without my glasses! Gotta get that laser surgery LOL!
