Famous Faces?




Back in January, I found my celebrity look-a-like using MyHeritage.com, a website that uses your picture and matches your features to a database of celebs. The interesting thing here is that, for a Scotch-Irish girl, I had some pretty unusual matches. Namely, most of the pics I uploaded matched with Aishwariya Rai, who isn't exactly Scotch-Irish in heritage. Just for fun, and because I am wasting time, I decided to revisit the site and see if I am still looking like Aishwariya. For the record, I am not. These days, I am looking Israeli. Like Ninet Tayeb, an Israeli pop star and Yael Bar Zohar, an Israeli actress, to be exact.


Pictured below are (L to R) me, Shannon, Katie and Becky.
But, you can call us Reese, Ashley, Jennifer and Selma.
(Matched at 63%, 68%, 71%, and 68%)

Hey I'm cool with being Selma! Not too shabby! And yhaven't I always told you you look like Reese?

BTW, you've got a little Italian looking over your shoulder in the top pic!

Becky said...

Do you like the way I spelled "haven't"? It's the Israeli way, just for you, my Israeli pop star...

Mandy said...

Yeah, I think your Selma match was really good! Especially in those two pictures. Spittin' images!!

Becky said...

Oh, you'll give me a big head...now I'm going to walk around like I'm the spittin' image of Selma. I'll have to stick around you, the spittin' image of Reese, to keep me grounded!

Mandy said...

And I always thought people starred at us because we were weird. All this time they thought they were looking at a couple of celebs eating lunch.

Becky said...

Huh. Go figure. Well, at least now we know!

Becky said...

We should probably make ourselves available to sign autographs, so these two don't start getting a bad rap.

Becky said...

Don't talk to us Katie...we are so jealous that you are the one and only Sydney Bristow!!!!! Some gals get all the luck!

Becky said...

Where's Shannon? It's another blog par-tay!

Mandy said...

Seriously, Katie. Did you see the percentage that you matched her? 71% The highest of any of our matches. You ARE JG.

Mandy said...

She went to the ATL to whip up on Allie for gettin' us all excited about a new blog, then leaving us hanging.

Becky said...

Yup Katie...all you need is some eyebrows (wink) and dimples as deep as the Grand Canyon and you too can jump off of 50-story buildings and have Vaughn's baby....

Mandy said...

You are sooooooo lucky. Vaughn. I love him.

Becky said...

Yeah...I am hooked up with freakin Ahmet Zappa!!!! How unlucky am I???

Becky said...

Yeah, I'm still on celebrities, not Allie or bloggerSHY.

Mandy said...

I don't know, Katie, I don't know. It is unfortunate, too. She is a funny, funny, girls and her posts would be hilarious.

Mandy said...

Ryan isn't great, but the kids are adorable, so, ya know...being Reese is pretty good. Plus, America's Sweetheart, right?

Becky said...

Put Reese in the back...she's such a goody-two-shoes!!!

Actually, come to think of it, I think all these gals are goody-two-shoes...

Mandy said...

I know how you all feel about me...mmhmm...the pic proves it, doesn't it. Just because I got an Oscar...

Becky said...

Shannon's going to see this post and think "What in heaven's name did I miss?"

Becky said...

You know I can't drink while I'm on my happy vitamins!!! Sorry guys, I got Ginger Ale and lemonade!!!

Mandy said...

Yeah, Becky...no mixing chocolate and peanut butter :)

Mandy said...

Okay, so forget doin' work tonight, huh???

Becky said...

Work schmerk!!! Issa blog party!!!!

Becky said...

The little boy in Narnia is too...just sayin'...

Mandy said...

Yeah, he is hot. I totally agree. Just sayin'

Mandy said...

That was for Sean Hannity. But also for the Narnia kid, too.

Becky said...

You know Sarah Hatter hates Sean Hannity...like we couldn't see that coming...

Mandy said...

I think Hatter hates a lot of things.

Becky said...

Sarah hatter is hilarious, but she's the anti-Mandy/Becky/Katie.

Mandy said...

Somebody was are tryin to get to be our myspace friend.

Becky said...

Yes. She has hate issues. I think it's cause no one loves her.

Mandy said...

True, Becky...she is nothing like any of us.

Mandy said...

If she would be our myspace friend, we could like her. Love her? Maybe not.

Becky said...

A FUNNY lunatic liberal democrat...it's her one saving grace.

Mandy said...

Yeah, she is funny. She has that going for her.

Becky said...

I can't love her until she quits dissin' my blog.

You're about to break my 53-comment record here...go girl!

Becky said...

Seriously, what is the point of writing on the internet when you're not even sure anyone reads it...except for a few gay San Fransiscan guys...she doesn't get 53 comments.

Mandy said...

Exactly! Sure, all 56 of them are from 3 people, one of which is me, BUT, I don't have hate issues.

Becky said...

She made a comment on her "weblog" about hating mommies who "blog" about their kids. She thinks a "weblog" should be an insightful look into the author's life. Like what the hell does she think my life is????? MY KIDS, THAT'S WHAT!!!!!

Mandy said...

If fact, I have listed here many things I love...Sean Hannity, Vaughn, Narnia-soon-to-be-adult, Reese's life...the list goes on.

Becky said...

Katie, you better ead that long-ass comment I just left you!

Sorry about all the swearing Mandy. Sarah Hatter makes me just a teeny bit upset...

Mandy said...

Okay, you two are cracking me up over on Shan's site. Katie, we know you are Polish. 100% :)

Becky said...

Well, she didn't say it abou ME SPECIFICALLY, but obviously I fall into that category.

Becky said...

Well, methinks the par-tay is slowing down. Maybe time for bed? Or did Katie just get her second wind?

Becky said...

Well, I'll take that as a yes. Good night gals!

Mandy said...

I gots to get to bed. Have to be in ATL tomorrow morning.

SP said...

"What in heaven's name did I miss?"

SP said...

Wow, Mandy! You have a little Italian on your shoulder.

Anonymous said...

well, I looked up myheritage.com to see which celebrities I looked like. Here is the final tally: 74% Jessica Alba, 72% Reese Witherspoon, 71% Glenn Close (yeah, this one was a little disappointing...), and finally, at 58% Ninet Tayeb. We got 2 of the same people (though Tayeb has me a little confused too), but I guess this is proof that we do look alike!!

Hey Chely...you think somewhere we got some mixed up somethin' in our heritage??? My friend Libby said I really did look Israeli (and she is Labanese-Jewish...)
