RANK: 1
NAME: Jessica Lee Rose (Lonelygirl15)
AGE: 19
WHAT: YouTube star

lonelygirl15.com

To millions of online fans, she was first known as Bree, a 16-year-old, home-schooled American teenager. Unusually self-possessed and literate, Bree recorded her private thoughts into a digital video camera and posted them on YouTube under the name Lonelygirl15, where she attracted millions of fans. In August 2006, the videos were exposed as scripted fakes, and Bree was outed as 19-year old New Zealand-born actress Jessica Rose. But the news only served to increase her fame, and in the media, Rose became the poster child for the phenomenal success of YouTube and user-driven Web content. Rose's star continues to climb: she's landing movie deals and recorded a commercial for a United Nations anti-poverty campaign.

Well damn, Jess is looking HOT.

Since Forbes is primarily interested in wealth creation surely this bodes well for the creators.

Pop culture? Sure. Timeless? I guess we'll have to wait and see. Plenty of other actresses have been labeled the It Girl and have then disappeared from public consciousness.

That said, Jess certainly does look babealicious in that photo.

LG15 needs to have better PR for their actresses and actors, make celebs out of them. I'm sure they could get a story or 6 in teen girl magazines for Jess, and she could probally land a few covers north of the border (we're desperate). A lot of the general public has a lot of misconceptions about the series, and as much as the creators have been getting out there for rep and cred; in reality... people wanna see the beautiful people. Get Jess out there!
