On March 5, Conan O'Brien decided to follow one of his 538,309 followers on Twitter, writing, "Sarah Killen, your life is about to change."

That sounds incredibly pompous, even for a mega-celebrity. How can someone simply following you on a social network change your life? But Coco called it. Killen won the Twitter lottery.

"I'm just so proud of America," Sarah Killen tells Asylum over the phone. "I have a whole new take on things."

Not only did her number of Twitter followers jump from three to almost 30,000, but Conan's follow triggered a flood of donations for the 19-year-old's upcoming wedding.

Before Conan, Killen thought she would have to grow her own flowers and wear a dress sewn by her grandmother when she marries her 21-year-old fiance in September.


According to Ryan Shattack, writer and founder of The Official Sarah Killen Fan Page on Facebook, "I've also heard that there's a campaign somewhere to get Sarah to run for Congress."

Thankfully, Killen is also using her undeserved celebrity to promote causes besides her own. She's raised around $3,000 in donations for the breast cancer non-profit, Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, and has spread awareness for Children's Hunger Fund (CHF).

"I wanted to start a non-profit organization for public schools, but people have been getting on me for that. I guess, they kind of suck a lot of money and don't use the funds right," says Killen, even though public schooling taught her to read and write tweets. Plus, she plans on attending Lansing Community College, aka a public school.

Sure, we can be snide about this silly teen with power, but the truth is since Killen tweeted her CHF plea, traffic to the website has skyrocketed. The response rivals the traffic that many Haiti relief sites got immediately after the earthquake.

If we could only get every celebrity to randomly follow one teenager on Twitter and then get that teenager to endorse a charity -- we could raise enough money to save the world.
