It is Doppelganger Week on Facebook (Facebook screen shot)
There seems to be a growing trend on Facebook to morph your face into that of a celebrity. It is apparently Doppelganger week on Facebook -- and a Doppelganger is the ghostly double of a living person, a sinister form of bi-location. The modern day meaning translates more to mean a double or look-alike of a person.
Apparently Doppelganger week is a bit more than the site MyHeritage.com can manage. It is apparently handling millions of photos every day due to the Facebook celebrity look a like craze and the site can't handle the traffic.
"MyHeritage.com is now powering Doppleganger Week and handling millions of photos every day. There may a delay until your celebrity look-alike is generated. We are working to improve this. If you experience a delay, please come back in 1-2 more hours and try again. Thanks!"
So, for now if you're trying to get your Doppelganger on, you may have to wait awhile. I uploaded my picture and went back 30 minutes later. It was still scanning it for a look a like and eventually timed-out. Perhaps because I used a picture of myself at age 2. Not sure.
Personally, I just want to be myself unless I'm going to get paid a celebrity salary for Doppelganger week.
So, are you doing the semi-ridiculous Doppelganger thing? If so, who is your celebrity look a like match?

It's a cute idea . . . but after trying it several times and getting a timeout each time, I decided I was beginning to get a tad obsessive and uninstalled it. :)
The celebrity look-alike generator used to be a web only, easy to use application. Now they require you to download their app and toolbar just to get to the generator.
Mine is Christina Applegate and since you're my friend on Facebook you probably saw the photo. :-)
