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 really looks like Carmen Electra on that cover
hahaha.
she’s the number one celebrity in the U.S.
… and my “the U.S.” i mean “my heart”.
I love the vapid, dead-in-the-eyes Fakey McFake Lauren Conrad!
She could almost be a ‘real doll’
Perhaps they meant number one reality celeb?
oh i can attest to that…i was talking about The Hills and LC to one of my friends and she says….”what and who is that”. i couldnt believe my ears but indeed there are people out there who have no clue
She is a hell a lot better than SPEIDI!!!
what in god’s good earth is she on the cover FOR? the hills is so 2006.
I bet she has a pending fashion deal there…
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…
