Latest Cyberstar - LonelyGirl15

Following a Korean teen's expert electric guitar rendition of Pachobel's Canon, the latest YouTube phenom is a pretty, home-schooled, devoutly religous American teen named Bree ... or Lonelygirl15.

Or is she 'real'? Or the latest internet hoax - some hook for a new high budget, studio TV show? Like the jilted lover billboards in New York and LA and the accompanying blog, That Girl Emily - all which later came out as a promo for the CourtTV show Parco P.I.

But then those ever-present online conspiracy theorists went on the hunt - and sure enough Lonelygirl15 isn't lonely at all. She's 19 year old actress Jessica Rose. Lonelygirl creators - Miles Beckett, Ramesh Flinders and Greg Goodfried - wanted to "to create a community in which audience members can interact with each other and be real participants in the show" according MTV News, one of the many major media outlets that have covered Lonelygirl's outing.
