Mariah Carey has admitted to having a Hello Kitty hair dryer in her bathroom. Christina Aguilera is often seen wearing Hello Kitty jewelry while out shopping. She's even been known to wear her jewelry during promotional photo shoots. Gwen Stefani has a Kitty case for her cell phone while Drew Barrymore loves the watches. Many of these elite celebrities can't get enough of Hello Kitty!

But, it's not just out in public that these ladies show their dedication. Aguilera loves the Hello Kitty wastebaskets and uses them in her home. Singer Lisa Loeb can't imagine making coffee at home without her Hello Kitty coffee maker. But, she also owns a Kitty waffle maker and rice cooker.

So, why are these celebs going crazy for Hello Kitty paraphernalia? Loeb says she doesn't like looking at things that are boring. She likes the playful creativity in her accessories (and appliances). Other stars love the cute, pink characters and want the accessories to show off their own personalities. The Hilton sisters, Mandy Moore, Heidi Klum and even Aerosmith singer Stever Tyler have been seen with an assortment of Hello Kitty products.

The best thing about the trend is that most of the Hello Kitty items that these celebrities are wearing (or using) don't cost very much. So, you can own many of the same products that the celebs own. When was the last time you remember THAT being the case?

You're basically entering Hello Kitty's world and playing with other fans around the globe. From what I've seen, the game has some elements of MMORPGs. But, it goes further by allowing you to talk with other characters and players as the community and environment in the game constantly changes and grows.

Here's the exciting thing: MMORPGs have been mostly for guys. Yes, girls play them, too. But, the few girls who do are the exceptions to the rule. Hello Kitty Online will probably radically change that dynamic. Girls now have a place in the online gaming world to call their own!

Hello Kitty Online isn't meant to compete with other MMORPGs. If you know anybody who plays other MMORPGs (like World of Warcraft), you already know that most of those players won't want anything to do with Hello Kitty. That's one of the reasons this new game is so highly-anticipated. It may change the entire online gaming landscape (or at least how people think about it).

As I'm writing this, the game isn't available yet. But, stay tuned to this blog. When Hello Kitty Online launches, you'll hear about it here.

You can buy a Hello Kitty optical mouse that's actually shaped like Kitty's head, complete with the red ribbon on top. In the middle of the ribbon is a scroll wheel for easy access. And if you're going to have a mouse shaped like Kitty's head, you may as well buy the Hello Kitty keyboard, too. It's pink (although the wrist guard is purple) and has all the functionality that most keyboards have (buttons to control multimedia options, etc.).

Now, if you really want to stand out to your friends, you should check out the Hello Kitty flash drive. The only drawbacks are that it doesn't come with a ton of capacity and it's actually a bit more expensive than other drives. But, they're incredibly cute. Once you see it, you'll want to buy one. I also noticed that there's a Hello Kitty memory card. But, that seemed odd to me. The memory card is going to be tucked away inside your digital camera. You can't even see Kitty's face.

There are a ton of other computer accessories that follow the Hello Kitty theme. But, the ones I mentioned above are the products you'll use most often. They're all affordable and especially cute. So, this may be the perfect time for you to spice up your home computer.

It turns out that there are literally thousands of products that you can buy with Hello Kitty images (and those of her friends) plastered all over them. Need a label maker? Why not make it a Hello Kitty label maker? Do you play guitar? If you do, you can purchase a Hello Kitty guitar made by Fender (it costs about $230).

And here's one for you: the Hello Kitty wedding dress. Now, I love Kitty and her friends as much as anyone, but a wedding dress? Seems like that's overdoing it a bit (of course, if you own one of these dresses, forget I said that). The point is, if you're bored with the same Hello Kitty products that everybody else has, you should take a look at some of the crazy merchandise that you can buy. Most of it is actually pretty affordable.

So, when you just can't do without that Hello Kitty toaster oven, piano, vacuum cleaner, or fillings (yes, fillings for your teeth) rest assured, they're available.

The sides of the car have Kitty's face splashed across them. There's also a cute image of Kitty on the front hood. Everything inside the car also has Kitty's image. That includes the dashboard, steering wheel and even the seat cushions. The entire interior is white and pink to go along with the theme. Finally, you can store and decorate the back portion of the car with your collection of Hello Kitty toys.

Today, you can only buy a used Hello Kitty car from someone who already owns one. This is because Daihatsu Motors stopped producing the cars a few years ago. But, that just makes them even better to own because fewer people will have them. Imagine the curious, envious and startled looks you'll receive when driving your Hello Kitty car on the road. Most people have never seen these vehicles before. Just be careful not to cause an car accident!

The Harmonyland theme park is located in Kyushu, Japan. So, if you're not currently living in Japan, visiting the park may be a little out of reach. However, if you're planning to go to Japan on vacation, take the time during your trip to visit this park. When you arrive, grab a map. Harmonyland is big and there's a lot to see!

In the middle of the park, you'll find a huge castle. There are a lot of rooms that are decorated with Hello Kitty ornaments. For big fans of Kitty, you can even book one of these rooms for your wedding. The theme park is often called the "Land of Smiles" and it's no wonder why! Everywhere you look, there are people dazzled by the pictures and decorations of Hello Kitty. When you visit the theme park, you'll have the chance to meet Kitty and all of her friends. Plus, you'll be able to buy all the merchandise you'd like.

Harmonyland is a place that inspires friendship and generosity, qualities adored by Hello Kitty and her friends.

Kitty isn't very big at all. She's only 5 apples tall. But, she's nearly always bursting with energy and can't wait to explore and have fun with her best friends. She's very popular in school because she's so cheerful. But, a few things are sad for Kitty.

She grew up with Dear Daniel. He was her first boyfriend and she loved him. But, Daniel's father had to move to Africa. So, her and Daniel eventually had to part ways. She was heartbroken. But, Hello Kitty is surrounded by wonderful friends who support her and make her feel great. Plus, she's very close to her sister, Mimmy. They're best friends and can tell each other anything.

Kitty loves making new friends every chance she gets. She has always liked people for their good hearts and tries to surround herself with friends whom she can depend upon. She looks for the innocence in people and she's drawn to those who are especially kind to others. She doesn't care if they're shy or sad. To her, friendship is the most important thing in the world. Kitty herself has a generous heart and she's always there for the people she cares about.

Jodie - With a passion for knowledge, Jodie doggedly tries to learn everything she can. She dreams of one day becoming a researcher so she can devote herself to finding out as much as she can about everything around her. She's usually somewhere studying.

Rory - A good-natured squirrel who loves climbing trees, Rory is responsible for teaching Hello Kitty all about the forest's wondrous secrets.

Fifi - Of all of Hello Kitty's friends, Fifi has the most energy. She never seems to stop and rest! You can usually find her (even if it's hard to catch her) running around and getting things done. That's part of Fifi's lovable charm.

Tracy - The group's resident practical joker, Tracy is usually causing a bit of harmless mischief and fun that eventually causes all of Hello Kitty's friends to laugh. Everybody loves Tracy because he can always be counted upon to bring the light side to every situation.

Mory - In Kitty's backyard lives a mole named Mory. He's extremely shy and prefers to lounge around his small pond sunbathing rather than running around town. Though he doesn't get out much with the rest of the group, he's a good friend to Hello Kitty.

It doesn't matter much to Kitty whether her friends are shy, outgoing, funny, or always studying. She looks deeper than that and loves each of her friends because they have good hearts. Each one in the group cares very much for everyone else and they all have a special place in Hello Kitty's heart.

Cathy - She's quiet and thoughtful. In fact, she usually puts the needs of others before her own. Even though she doesn't talk a lot, she a special friend.

Tippy - For as long as anyone can remember, Tippy has had a big crush on Hello Kitty. He has a good heart, is always reliable and is kind to everyone around him.

Joey - His quick wit and ample charm have made him the toast of the school. Everyone likes Joey. He has a great sense of humor and treats everyone with respect. It doesn't hurt that he's a star athlete, too.

Tiny Chum - Hello Kitty and her sister Mimmy think of Tiny Chum as a younger brother. Small and cute, he's always great company for the sisters. They've known each other long enough to feel entirely comfortable around him and he's a fantastic friend.

Tim and Tammy - Whenever Tim and Tammy are nearby, Hello Kitty and her friends always end up laughing. These two monkeys somehow always seem to find something new and funny to show Hello Kitty and the group.

Hello Kitty's friends are an important part of her life. She loves each one of them dearly. Though each of her friends is a little different, their personalities, good hearts and sense of humor bring them all closer together.

Papa George, always reliable and a hard worker, has a great sense of humor and can usually be counted on for a good laugh. With his ever-present pipe and glasses, he's the classic father figure. Hello Kitty's mother, Mary, makes sure that her whole family is well. She has a passion for cooking (she can fix the best apple pies) and loves to take care of the house so her family is comfortable.

Grandpa Anthony and Grandpa Margaret are the perfect grandparents. While grandpa knows a bit about everything and can spin great stories from memory, grandma loves to cook, taking pride in making - as far as everyone else is concerned - the best pudding ever made.

Hello Kitty also has a twin sister named Mimmy. They're best friends, know everything about each other and spend most of their time enjoying each other's company. Mimmy's a bit timid and shy around people, but has a great heart and makes a fantastic friend. Adding romance to Hello Kitty's life is Daniel, her boyfriend. They've been close since birth and though they're forced to live far apart, they're always in each others' thoughts.

Only time will tell what the future holds for Hello Kitty and her growing family.
