For nearly four months Lonelygirl15 took YouTube by storm, creating one of the most watched Internet based drama around. The story was simple — a supposedly home-schooled emo girl of 16, known to millions as Bree, would sit in front of her webcam in her bedroom and pour out her heart on everything from family to friends to current events. Her musings quickly generated a cult following, but her seemingly professionally editted videos drew scrutiny. Who was this girl? A product of Hollywood, a marketing scheme by YouTube?
Through the power of the web it has been unveiled that Bree is actually Jessica Rose, a 20-something actress who graduated from the New York Film Academy. Lonelygirl15 is an elaborate project created by two filmakers who contrived to produce and distribute the videos to pique maximum curiosity about them. Despite the reveal the creators plan to push forward, releasing more of the same … and who knows, perhaps a movie.

Kelly Clarkson unleashed her inner Mel Gibson drunk during a Metal Skool performance at the Key Club where she was brought on stage to knock back some Chivas Regal straight from the bottle. The American Idol winner then proceeded to strip off her sweater, rock the air guitar and sing covers of Guns N’ Roses. Fans were hoping she’d bare it all, but were more than happy watching her downing whisky with a sleazy rock band.
There’s a right way to tell a person that their friend, co-star, or colleague has passed away, and there’s a wrong way … and then there’s the Dave Clark of KCAL 9 news way.
