Ana Voog lives "The Truman Show" every day. Put a couple of Web cams in your apartment, turn your life into a TV show, and suddenly, everyone wants a piece of you. Ana Voog, a k a former Blue Up? frontwoman Rachael Olsen of Minneapolis, has done just that with her freakish "anacam." The self-described omnisexual Voog, who recently performed at Ground Zero and has a new album, "anavoog.com" (Radioactive/MCA), is perfectly content living her life for all the world to see via her own Web site (www.anavoog.com). Not only that, but she has just discussed her "art" in Newsweek and on "Hard Copy" and "Vibe," which all drew comparisons to Jim Carrey's flick "The Truman Show." "Anacam" content ranges from G- to X-rated, depending on when you visit. But after multiple peeks, the only conclusion we've drawn is that this woman sleeps way more than the standard eight hours. When asked on "Hard Copy" her motivation for setting up "anacam," Voog said, "because I can." So much for subtlety.
