JR's Fictional Celebrities of September 2011

Get back to JR's previous Fictional Celebrities of the Month lists:

July 2011 | May 2011

Are music alter-ego characters the next big thing?
After two months of having movie characters dominating the list, two Lady Gaga alter-egos, three video game figures, and five TV fictional characters made this months list. Due to low publicity last month, Harry Potter drops to number two and Lady Gaga's male alter-ego Jo Calderone takes the top spot. This probably might mark the end of the Harry Potter era and the start of the Alter-Ego era. One surprising entry to this month's list was that of Bella Goth, one of Sims main characters. After the success of The Sims Social in Facebook, Bella Goth might ultimately defeat Samantha in terms of being the Most Popular Facebook Game Character. Also, Walden Schmidt, the new Two and a Half Men character made the list. He debut alongside with Peter Griffin, the Family Guy, and Captain Alex Mason, the captain in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Will Schuester returns while Captain Jack Sparrow, Mickey Mouse, and Kathy Beth Terry drops off this month's list. Will September bring us the biggest changes in Fictional Celebrity history?

METHODOLOGY
