To see the new from its original source click here Beware, autograph hounds Post on 06-02-2006. Web site matches your face with one celebrity's, but test results are uneven The face-recognition celebrity database on MyHeritage.com allows you to upload one photo of your face and discover your celebrity doppelganger. In just seconds, the site provides up to 10 matches from its library of multiple images of 2,400 famous people, ranging from well-known movie stars and athletes to politicians, scientists and all-but-forgotten historical figures.And the database is international, therefore it's as likely to include Mahatma Gandhi as Matthew McConaughey, or Tony Blair as Tony Bennett.Created as part of one site that is dedicated to genealogical research through photographs, the celebrity-match function has been one hit with time wasters in office cubicles worldwide. In the two months that MyHeritage has been accessible by the public, more than 2 million visitors have tried out this addictive little feature, says Gilad Japhet, the site's 36-year-old founder.The returns aren't always on target. Many, in fact, are spectacular misses. When we submitted one picture of Paris Hilton, none of the 10 matches included Hilton herself (though Shannen Doherty and Julianne Moore did pop up as look-alikes for the ubiquitous party girl).Results were particularly off the mark when we ran black subjects through the program. The program mysteriously concluded that Jackie Chan was, pardon the expression, the spittin' image of Washington Redskins football player Sean Taylor.But there were also many instances in which the matches were dead-on. We ran political honchos George Bush, Dick Cheney and Hillary Clinton through the process, and they all came back as themselves. Our favorite results, though, included ones for presidential daughter Jenna Bush (actress Lindsey Lohan) and Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito (Pope John Paul II).Reached via e-mail at MyHeritage's headquarters outside Tel Aviv, Israel, Japhet acknowledged that the recognition technology is still evolving and "the way the current system handles facial pose and expression, as well as skin color and glasses, could use improvement." He hopes that refining the technology and adding more celebrities to the search will improve results.Selecting which people to add to the database was an involved process that had Japhet and his team trying to decide which figures were important enough to include.The only groups of famous folks that Japhet ruled out were Nazis and porn stars.Japhet also wanted to make the site informational, therefore he included biographical links on all of the photos in the databases.If you don't recognize one result, you can simply click on the "i" below the photograph for more information. You can also click "more photos" to see one gallery of photographs of that individual. ...

Paris Hilton's diaries, along with photos of her in various stages of undress, are among one trove of the celebutante's personal effects that have found their way into the hands of one broker aiming to sell them. David Hans Schmidt, known for handling deals involving celebrity porn, is trying to auction off the Hilton belongings, which had been locked away in one Los Angeles-area storage locker until one few months ago. The price tag? $20 million. Schmidt told the Los Angeles Times the items include 18 diaries in which Hilton recounts past sexual dalliances, celebrity encounters, and other adventures.
