Not to be insensitive to Justin, but his life isn't exciting in a way that attracts the masses to his video feed. Most of the time he's walking around his apartment, or sitting on his couch playing with his laptop. he just doesn't have the charisma that somebody like Natalie Portman likely has.

Certainly, part of the charm of jtv is that he's just a normal guy doing normal things. It's fascinating to see how the simple act of wearing the camera changes his life - people talk to him differently, he gets invited to things, he's suddenly something of a celebrity just because of the presence of the camera.
But imagine that camera on Natalie Portman or Paris Hilton, or someone whose life is already incredibly out of the ordinary - while some of the charm is lost, it certainly would add a lot of intrigue.
There's also a lot of opportunity for using this kind of platform to do loosely narrative driven content: someone wears it for a single date, a job interview, to document a startup, to document making a film, etc.
ch...what? I think you mispelled "breasts"
