Look in any direction on YouTube these days, and you will invariably come across the charming, comedic stylings of one Jodie-Amy Rivera, known better by her legions of followers as VenetianPrincess.

Proudly proclaiming on her account page to being "YouTube's #1 Most Subscribed Female," VenetianPrincess has made a memorable name for herself by churning out a seemingly endless stream of parody videos, poking good-natured fun at celebrities and topics in the forefront of pop culture news. Some of her subjects include Britney Spears, Katy Perry, and (of course) Lady Gaga.

What perhaps sets her apart from other satirical video personalities is the fact that she is a one-woman show. According to her Official Website, all her videos are shot in her bedroom, and she alone is in charge of every aspect of production "" make-up, visual effects, editing, etc. She is certainly not your average Internet sensation. Classically trained in music and opera singing, VenetianPrincess also finds time to perform in local musical theater productions, including Jekyll and Hyde and The Phantom of the Opera. A pretty impressive resume.

Check out her latest offering, which kills two pop culture birds with one stone "" "Jersey Shore's" Snooki and Ke$ha:
