In news other than Apple ... let's goof off!

OK, so I'm not going to bother trying to keep up with the other second-by-second, blow-by-blow bloggers crashing the 'net this afternoon with news on Steve Jobs' big announcement. Though, if the my favorite little munchkin guy from 'Dancing with the Stars' showed up to the Apple press conference, I'd be totally into it!

Instead, first I'm going to announce the winner of this week's Hello Kitty 'Apple' flash drive! Big congrats to ...

Rachel L. of NYC!

If that's not you, please hop on over to http://www.mimoco.com/ and check out the rest of their assortment of 2-gig flash drives! Not a huge Hello Kitty fan? Try Princess Leia from Star Wars! LOVE it!

We kick off the fourth (of five) week of our Hello Kitty giveaway on Byte-Sized this Monday, so be sure to check it out!

So, back to the goofing off ... It's apparently 'celebrity doppelganger' week on Facebook, and in an effort to get me involved, a friend of mine sent over this website that matches you by percentage with whom you look like most! All you need is a clear picture of your face. In a hysterical craze, I sent this site all around the Captivate office, and, just to show you all how willing and open us Captivate editors/bloggers are to poking fun, here are our results:


Apparently, I'm the love child of Helena Christensen and Elvis Costello :) Hey, I'll take being compared to a mega-super model any day, though I swear I've been told Alicia Silverstone (circa Batgirl) and I are identical.

Captivate editor and Indulge author Jacqui looks so much like her matches, Beyonce and Maria Meneudos, it's scary! Isn't she a stunner? Check out Jacqui's beauty/fashion tips here!

Captivate editor and Weigh In author Kate Scanlan is perfectly matched here with Camilla Belle and Liv Tyler, though in real life, she's a walking replica of Tina Fey -- lucky! :) Check up on Kate's fitness tips here!

Captivate's editor and Green Among Gray blogger Kyle was matched to Marlon Brando and Matthew Perry -- though he really looks so much like Daniel Radcliffe that we sometimes call him 'Harry Potter.' Get your environmental tips from Kyle here!

Captivate's Canadian editor and I'd Rather Be Watching Movies author Justin is a pretty accurate mix here of heartthrob Johnny Depp and your favorite 'friend' Jennifer Aniston. Find out Justin's movie news and opinions here!

Captivate's director of content and music reviewer Dee Murray is a sassy mix of Cate Blanchett and Ashton Kutcher, right? Listen to Dee dish on music's biggest artists here!

So, you can see we had a lot of fun with this :) It's obviously not an exact science ... but for amusement purposes, it had us rolling on the floor laughing.

Feel free to send me some of your best celebrity matches and I may post them up! Otherwise, thank you for taking some time away from obsessing over Apple's iTablet or whatever with me!

See you back here Friday for the week's top headlines (... OK fine, I'll round up the Apple news, too)! L8rs!
