The only reason I really wish I was famous is for magazine year in reviews. Towards the end of the year, random magazines call up random ‘celebrities’ to quote in their “Best of ________ ” issue, thus giving these celebrities the opportunity to pretend that a.)they know what they’re talking about and that b.)people really care. But I have my blog, so I can do that anyway. And what would I have told somebody if they asked what the best album of the year is? Hands down, it has to be Ok Computer by Radiohead. I don’t care if it did come out in 1997. For my 2005 dollars (and yours), it’s still the best music you can buy. So go get it.

Leave it to Jake (yes that’s the Jake of jakesticka.com) to waste even more hours of my life with his internet finds. This time we have an amazing little site that allows you to scan photos of people to determine which celebrities they most resemble. I was going to post my findings, but seeing as how I am unsure how people will take the results, I decided to turn it into a little game.
But first, let me break the ice with my results:
sophia loren, jodie foster, benny goodman, courtney love, hilary duff, courteney cox (wasn’t she the most beautiful person circa 1994? cha ching!), kevin mitnick (WTF!), christina ricci
Now that everybody knows just what kind of technology we’re working with here, let’s proceed with the festivities. I scanned pictures of 6 of jlou’s most loyal followers. For those of you not chosen, I’m sorry. I probably just didn’t have a digital picture of you available. The lucky people are: Craig, Jeremy, Julie, Jen, Nikki, and Ama. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to match the jlou fan with the celebrities they most resemble. Keep in mind that gender is not taken into consideration. Here are the celebrity groups:
A. Juliette Binoche, Cameron Diaz, Judy Garland, Shania Twain, Britney Spears (the ‘oops, i did it again years’)
B. Renee Zellweger, Julianne Moore, Hilary Swan, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears (the star search years)
C. Arnold Schwarzenegger, David Beckham, Tommy Lee Jones, Stephen Jay Gould, Dalai Lama, Matt LeBlanc, Saddam Hussein
D. Shannen Doherty, Jack Kerouac, Demi Moore, Strom Thurmond, Colin Farrell, Robert Redford, Benito Mussolini, Charlie Champlin
E. Katie Holmes, Isabella Rossellini, Angelini Jolie, Martina Hingis, Christina Ricci, Nicole Kidman
F. Bill Gates, Carol King, John Travolta, Dustin Hoffman, Quentin Tarantino, Pete Sampras, Richard Nixon, Tim Burton, Nicole Kidman, Jack Kerouac
