Now Jessica Rose is also confessing she is homesick.  The striking actress is from new Zealand and wishes she could return.

According to the Herald in New Zealand Speaking she told the paper from her Los Angeles apartment, stunning New York Film Academy graduate Jessica Rose, 19, said she longed for the home comforts of New Zealand.
 
"I just wish I could do what I am doing here from New Zealand," she said. And she revealed life had changed dramatically after she was unmasked as the face behind an international video diary phenomenon.

"I never really thought so many people would care about my life," said Rose, on MTV.
 
"It's been insane. I've had so much attention given to me that I didn't expect. This is not what I'm used to doing in my daily life."

Certainly many people did care, and still do despite the confession that it was all an act.
