Im not keeping track deliberately but off the top of my head: KarmaBanque got a deal with Al Jazeera English to make some videos for broadcast on TV.
Clive James who is an Australian famous in Britain for many years in the mainstream media, now does stuff online, though I dont know if his videos would meet the definition of videoblogging. Years ago a famous UK TV presenter called Keith Chegwin, fairly down on his luck, broadcast himself live via streaming net video for many hours every day. I believe he was infamously naked once. A famous UK soap star had to leave the program after it was revealed that he had been exposing himself on a web cam he had in his dressing room, maybe that doesnt count :D Here in the UK im finding it pretty hard to tell if there are really many web celebrities here. If I go to the uk itunes podcast directory then its dominated by BBC & other mainstream media people. Im probably forgetting some really obvious example but no UK web celeb is springing to mind right now. In the UK the web has been used to launch some very sucessful (so far) musical careers, but I cant think what 'personalities' its brought into our mainstream yet. Fameseekers here are currently stil more likely to try their luck in Big Brother auditions! Our famous homegrown youtuber is that great really old bloke, he has got some media attention but didnt even allow interviews until recently, he was the only person who'd ever filmed himself, so he isnt a crossover so far.
