I wonder how many people today are famous for being famous, the person you'd like to invite to your party or just like to laugh at.
Internet Celebrity
An Internet celebrity is an unemployed person worshipped by 12 year old kids who is widely known among the members of an e-subculture or clique. The term itself is a misnomer because people who use the internet are not popular IRL. Most Internet celebrities have more friends on their LiveJournal friends list than anyone else, and it is to these vaunted heights of e-fame that all self-respecting attention or comment whores aspire.
Internet celebrities think that they are funny, witty and e-popular, but in truth most people just want to sleep with them, which is especially the case with e-celebrity Chris-chan. Some Internet celebrities mistake themselves for actual celebrities, but it is important to remember that even such individuals as Cory Doctorow are only known within a very small circle of Internets-savvy people. Get over yourselves. Kibo was one of the first Internet celebrities.
Andy Milonakis started out like that, but once everyone found out he was some freak adult they realized his show was based on faggotry.
So pretty much, internet celebrities are basement dwelling losers who, IRL, never have and never will do anything real with their lives. Internet celebrity - Encyclopedia Dramatica
