I did the celebrity facial recognition thingie, using five different pictures to see if it consistently told me I looked like the same celebrities. No one matched all five times; the most I got was three.

Three matches:
Kate Winslet (works for me)
Shirley Temple (WTF?)
Hilary Rodham Clinton (OMGWTFPOLARBEAR)

Two matches:
Emma Watson (hurray, I'm cleared to dress up as Hermione)
Isabella Rossellini (dammit, I wanted Lena Olin)

The highest percentage match I got was Shakira at 73%, but she didn't appear as a match in any of the four other pictures.

Interesting little thingie, the facial recognition whatsit. Not quite sure they've got all the kinks worked out.

I think the angle at which the photo is taken matters--one full-on shot and one profile turned up nothing, but the studio portrait (used to be one my icons here) taken at a slight angle turned up:

Kate Winslet (74%), Isabella Rossellini (73%), Katie Holmes (72%), Jennifer Connelly (71% and I think probably the closest they got), Grace Kelly (71%--uh..yeah, not) Christina Ricci (71%--not bad) Elisha Cuthbert (71%--who is she and why do I know her name?), and Natalie Portman (!) (69%). All of whom in their reference photos are in the same right-three-quarter profile I'm in.

Oh, on men's, I got Lech Walesa (71%--president of Poland, which makes a certain sort of sense as we're at least the same ethnic group) and a young Bob Dylan (70% WTFBBQ?)
