Casey Anthony Releases Video Diary

While this is not typical celebrity news, I still had to report because of the magnitude of the case. Casey Anthony, who was cleared of charges of killing her daughter Caylee in July, has released a video talking to the public.

Casey had a new hair cut, dye blonde, and wore black-framed glasses and a white tank top. Not discussing anything about the case itself, she talks about her life in probation – how happy she is to have a computer, phone and camera she can call her own. She also mentions that she has adopted a dog. Check out the video below.



While many wonder if this is really Casey, two sources have confirmed to PEOPLE that it is indeed her. Casey is serving out probation, which ends at the end of February, in an undisclosed location. It's just a little surreal how much things have changed since July, and how many things haven't changed," she said in the video. "But the good thing is that things are starting to look up and things are starting to change in a good way. I just hope that things stay good and that they only get better." 

Casey said, "This is the first of many, and I'm looking forward to this. It's a little scary, because I hate being on camera. But I need to conquer that fear at some point, and this is a good start." 

While she may or may not just have gotten away with a horrific crime, nothing can stop her from sharing her feelings on YouTube. Plus there are reports of people wanted to buy her story (magazines, books, whatever). Of course, much of the public that commented on those reports said that they wouldn't pay attention to her, but we are a nosy public. I wouldn't buy a book or anything, but a video on the Internet like this of her, I would have to check out. Don't look out for a Casey Anthony video diary series here though...
