Do you have a budding entertainment star in your family?

Thanks to the hot, new Web site called YouTube.com, thousands of people are now getting their 15 minutes of fame.

The Web site taps into the public appetite for grassroots reality programming. It offers 15 minutes of fame for anyone with access to a camera, a computer, and a little creativity.

"Instead of a world that's driven by hits that take a lot of money and a lot of production, that kid in the back yard with a football and a poor quality digital video camera can create something that's hugely entertaining for a huge number of people," said Xeni Hardin, a tech journalist.

The Web site launched in December and it is already gets 30 million viewers a day. Access to YouTube.com is totally free.
