Speaking of virtual gifts, Ning (which is kind of like a site which allows you to create your own mini-social network, sort of like a buddypress install; actually, I'm quite curious as to why LJ users and others groups seeking community setups (such as fandom groups) haven't embraced Ning, because it has a plethora of features, such as chat, forums, galleries, blogs for individual members, activity streams, video, downloads, locking stuff down so non-members can't see it, etc. Actually, if I were starting some community project, I might be tempted to try it out.)
Wow... A Ning community dedicated to Barry Manilow fanfiction
More conventionally, there are quite a few official sites for artists such as T-Pain and Soulja Boy, and for TV shows, such as Tyra Banks's talk show and the Ellen show. Though confusingly, not everything with 'official' in the title is actually official.
(Lol, Liu Bei has joined Ning. But I am kind of a Wei fan, so I'm not going to join until Cao Cao does.)
Silliness aside, here are the features of Ning.
