The LA Times has finally broke the story of ... of the month? Lonelygirl15 is the brainchild of a group of out of work filmmakers and nothing more. I got swept up in this a few weeks ago and from the get go I was thinking... This chick is as much 16 as I am. In other words, NOT! I had as much fun watching people makings Vlogs disputing Bree's existence as I did watching a woman, obviously in her late 20's, jumping on her bed and playing with puppets.
It turns out the people behind the wildly popular website lonelygirl15 are not studio executives, Internet moguls or, as some suspected, Satanists. Instead, they are aspiring filmmakers who met at a mutual friend's birthday party in April: Miles Beckett, 28, a Web-obsessed medical school dropout; Mesh Flinders, 26, a screenwriter; and Greg Goodfried, a 27-year-old lawyer.The lonelygirl15 story unfolded in a series of confessional video blogs, supposedly made by a home-schooled girl named Bree, Since June, viewers have questioned whether Bree and her friend Daniel, who also appeared in the videos, were real people or part of some larger project or promotional scheme. An ominous hint of a satanic plotline to come suggested a horror film in the making.
In their first interview with the media, the three video makers said they are amazed by the reaction to their creation, with audiences in the hundreds of thousands for each episode of their story, which was posted on websites such as YouTube.
The filmmakers declined to identify the actress who played Bree. However, various websites Tuesday identified her as Jessica Rose, a 19-year-old New Zealand native who attends acting school in Los Angeles. Rose could not be reached for comment.

What a strange thing to write.
In the story you quote it says she is 19 and you say she is obviously in her late 20's.
Reading comprehension is your friend.
