Become an instant celebrity; film your life—you’ll have to wait for a personal invite though, the site’s in private beta. Sign up now for your chance to become a reality mega-star.

“Your stories, your friends’ sagas, the compelling tales of the random people you come across everyday. True stories, fictional tales…and even quasi-fictional accounts of things that may (or may not) have happened. Whatever kind of stories they are, this could be your opportunity to become an overnight celebrity!”

The draw of instant celebrity is powerful. YourTrumanShow is essentially a mashup of YouTube and blogging, both insanely popular forms of expression these days. This type of reality entertainment is exactly what attracts participants and viewers want; the people like it.

So far, YouTube has been the only huge hit in the video realm, will YTS repeat its success? Or are people tired of watching fat men airing out their dirty laundry to the world? Are people’s lives really that compelling?
