Lauren Conrad Is Big In Japan
Pink readers Hitomi and Saori give me the head’s up that Lauren LC Conrad, star of MTV’s The Hills, is featured on the cover of the new issue of the Japanese magazine called JJ. JJ is a fashion magazine targeted to 18-22 year old readers and seems to be under the impression that LC is, and I quote, “the No.1 Celebrity in USA”:
UHHHHH … yeah. I suppose if The New York Times can call Heidi Montag a “feminist hero” then it’s not too far a stretch for JJ magazine to label LC the “No.1 Celebrity in USA” — and by that I mean that both publications might’ve missed the mark just a touch. At least JJ magazine, as a foreign magazine, has an excuse for their … hyperbole? I don’t even know what to call this gross mischaracterization (and I sincerely hope they aren’t being serious). It’s kinda funny to think that the entire population of 18-22 years old girls in Japan are being led to believe that LC is the top celeb in the US when there are great numbers of folks right here in the US who have no idea who she is.

She could almost be a ‘real doll’
July 24th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Perhaps they meant number one reality celeb?

Clearly, the news that Lindsay’s leggings line has sold out hasn’t yet hit Japan.

From the sound of your last few “Hills” posts, it sounds like someone has changed teams and is in the pocket of a certain fame-hungry duo…

it doesn’t say no.1 celebrity… it said no.1 denim on the front cover…
July 24th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
this bitch is not #1 on the US noone from the hills is LC needs to sit her ass down
July 24th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
actually it says that she is no 1 young celeb….
July 25th, 2008 at 4:46 am
i live in japan and sadly to say…she is kinda huge here..but no worry. JJ magazines has introduced hayden as jessica alba before and no one recognizes how huge that is…wrong translations, wrong photos…its a mess.

I read Japanese and the headline at the bottom of the magazine cover says “Denim No. 1″ not that LC is the No. 1 star in the US.
