UPDATE – Here again is that Celebrity Doppelganger generator. The Generator is useful as Celebrity Doppelganger week seems to be turning into Celebrity Doppelganger Month on Facebook!

Who knew?

You think you look like Selena Gomez. Now you can prove it. It’s … another Cinderella Story … for Facebook users who think they resemble a famous celeb.

Now a generator can prove it.

While this week may be Celebrity Doppelgangers week on Facebook, Celebrity Doppelganger sensations and Celebrity Look A Like trends hit in March 2009, despite someone claiming to have originated the trend just this month. As reported earlier on LALATE, the whole notion of Celebrity Doppelgänger generator went viral over a year ago in March 2009.

What is Doppelgänger week? It’s swapping out your profile pic for the celeb you most like. How cool is that!

The application remains online as it sat when LALATE first reported on it last year, before any Facebook trending or viral social sensation. It’s free, it’s fun, and it’s shocking just how close you might look like Tyra Banks!

At the core is a field of 4,000 celebrity faces archived for the app. The online generator looks at your uploaded image of yourself and compares dominant facing traits one by one against those of the 4000 archived celebrities. It then outputs the results.

The functionality is effectuated by face recognition technology. And best of all, it’s completely free.

It’s all courtesy of the website MyHeritage which answers which relative you most resemble:

“Who does junior look like? Mom or dad? This has millions of parents puzzled all over the world. The MyHeritage.com Look-alike Meter settles the debate once and for all! Upload photos of a baby/child and both parents, in any arrangement. Our cool and free Look-alike Meter utilizes state-of-the-art face recognition technology to determine the resemblance. Get the facts, and save the good-looking results to any blog or social network in a few clicks. Try the Look-alike Meter”

That Celebrity Doppelganger generator is generating just a bit too much Facebook fun with no account of its slowing down on Facebook accounts.

It’s all made possible due to a fun, free, and online generator that will enable you to partake in the Doppelgänger Facebook week month.

Says the site:

“Explore our rich and informative database of the world’s top celebrities. If your favorite celebrity seems missing, contact us. We do take requests! To see the celebrity that you resemble the most, click here.”

Whether you look like Taylor Swift (and or sound like her singing at the Grammys), or go rouge as well as Sarah Palin, Doppelgänger week was only suppose to be that – one week.

But with no let up in sight with the fun Doppelgängers has generated, not just across Facebook but Myspace and other social networks, you might try it out.
