The Gossip Rag: Celebrity life, photos, gossip, and news

According to Jim, Lonelygirl15 who has been dominating the Youtube charts is a carefully planned Alternate Reality Game stunt:

The domain name lonelygirl15.com was registered before the first video was even posted, from a proxy.

A trademark application for “lonelygirl15″ was filed on August 22, 2006 by an Encino lawyer named Kenneth Goodfried.

An IP tracker was placed on a myspace page to which the user lonelygirl15 was lured. According to this tracker the person using the LonelyGirl15 username did so from a server of the Creative Artists Agency , A Hollywood casting agency.

A message posted by the Lonelygirl15 insiders on Alissa Brooke’s forum gives it all away:

Right now, the biggest mystery of Lonelygirl15 is “who is she?” We think this is an oversimplification. Lonelygirl15 is a reflection of everyone. She is no more real or fictitious than the portions of our personalities that we choose to show (or hide) when we interact with the people around us. Regardless, there are deeper mysteries buried within the plot, dialogue, and background of the Lonelygirl15 videos, and many of our tireless and dedicated fans have unearthed some of these. There are many more to come.

If you haven’t watched her show, here’s a random episode:

After suspected cocaine use, the loss of her Burberry contract, and public ridicule, Kate Moss is back on track.

According to TMZ, the fallen model has completely refreshed her career. She is now the face of Burberry’s 2006 fall/winter fashion campaign, having patched things over after they dropped her in 2005. Kate Moss also has acquired new contracts with a number of companies, including Nikon, Calvin Klein, Virgin Mobile, Stella McCartney and Longchamp. The last straw: Kate Moss’s drug charges were dropped due to “lack of evidence.”

Virgin Books is also sponsoring her for an autobiography, due out in the next couple years. The deal will cost them $1,800,000. If only every street druggie could clean themselves up like this!
