An Internet celebrity is a famous person who reached fame over the Internet. An Internet celebrity would be either in acting, writing, singing, or even their own appearance would make them an overnight sensation.

Due to its popularity, MySpace has helped to boost celebrity status to some of its members. A classic example is Tila Tequila, a Vietnamese American singer who became an overnight sensation by her appearance and singing. Another celebrity that considered to reach this status by looks as well is model Christine "ForBiddeN" Dolce, as well as Jeffree Star, Arctic Monkeys and Tom Anderson, the founder and creator of the site.
Internet celebrities also appeared in videos on YouTube. The majority of them are members. One of the most notable celebrities is Jessica Lee Rose, a New Zealander actress, who stars in the internet series, lonelygirl15, as a home-schooled character named Bree, who is looking for friends. Smosh and TKandEgge are also some examples.
Another considered is LisaNova, writer and actress who would parody real-life events, or just make fun of them. She is also notable for having doing impersonations, such as Salma Hayek, Lindsay Lohan and Keira Knightley.
Most internet celebrities would get a YouTube or MySpace page to boost their careers. However, sometimes, they would become one without that type of help. One classic example is Perez Hilton, an openly gay writer and actor who runs his own website called perezhilton.com, which he would blog important matters in entertainment.
