Have you ever watched Laguna Beach or The Hills on MTV? Have you ever read her book L.A Candy or checked out her latest fashion line? If so, you know that this celebrity has superb talent and excellent creativity. Since Laguna Beach came on MTV in 2004, her fan base has grown to an extraordinary number. As her fashion progressed over the years so did her career. This celebrity is only beginning to expand her horizons. On Twitter she shares her daily activities and posts fun pictures for her friends and fans.

I think it’s interesting that Lauren is only following 31 people and has 798,139 followers. The number of people interested in finding out information about this celebrity through this social network is unbelievable. After looking through the people she is following, I recognized some of her old cast mates from her shows and other well known celebrities. Eleven of the thirty-one people she is following are not celebrities. I like how Lauren is only following friends or people that she likes to communicate with and not a bunch of random people. Since I like this celebrity, following her on Twitter is a great way for me to find out about new projects she is working on! I read her book L.A. Candy over the summer and loved it! She is coming out with a sequel to this book in February called Sweet Little Lies! Any one that likes her will mostly likely love this book! Check it out!

Also, she is currently working on a style guide. Ladies, get ready because I’m sure it is going to be awesome!

After watching the video, An Anthropological Introduction to Youtube, I was surprised to see what an impact Youtube has had on us. I had never thought of Youtube as something that could really impact others. I never would have thought the popular dance for the song “Tell ‘Em” by Soulja boy would have come from a user submitted video. This shows that fame can really be achieved by anyone who submits a video!

Here are a few other Youtube celebrities I discovered:

Straight No Chaser is an a capella group that got signed to Atlantic Records after Youtube success.

David After Dentist is a popular video that is often talked about and many remixes have been inspired by it. The video has over 100,000 views.

Amanda Baggs creates videos about her life with autism. This video was featured on CNN.
