Web Celeb Of the Month:
Laurie Plaksin
Web Hyphenate
I started my career in the entertainment business as an actress, guest starring in such TV programs as "Beverly Hills, 90210" where they stuffed my bra, "Married...with Children", where I stuffed my own bra, and on "Dear John", "Saved by the Bell" and "Normal Life" where I played wholesome school girls, no stuffing required.
My biggest accomplishments so far, however, have been on the Internet. After attending college and working in film production, I accidentally found my niche in this multidimensional universe with the help of filmmaker turned web provacateur, Scott Zakarin. Playing Tara Hartwick and writing various characters on The Spot proved more satiating than performing someone else's words, and more comfortable than having a wardrobe woman's hand down my shirt. As a former technophobe turned internet junkie, I am both surprised and delighted to have found such a welcoming place to stretch my creativity.
Today, with GrapeJam, I am fulfilling my dream of getting paid to be obnoxious on both sides of the camera, and on the Net. My goal is to shape the world's perception of cyberstardom and of the modern woman. Though not necessarily one web browser at a time.

On being Yahoo's Celebrity of the Month:
Not even emotions can describe how cool this is. Thanks guys!
Best thing about the Net:
Loneliness is becoming virtually obsolete.
Web Future:
I believe that one day soon our television, VCR, computer, and stereo system will all be one (hopefully not too big) box. And as a bonus, we might even be able to do laundry with the damn thing.
