She discovered her fiery passion for cultural diversity, pop culture, and current affairs. When she was 15 years old, her article “Comparing Cultural Differences: American and Chinese High School Students” was published in Chinese Yangzi newspaper. Since XiXi was one of the youngest student contributors, CCTV China conducted a short interview with her and showed her the power of media.XiXi began her career studying Mass Media Communications and Journalism at New York University. While in college, she guest hosted for mtvU’s “College Dean’s Countdown”, DMTV (Channel 18 in NYC/NJ), and Blender Magazine. After she made the big move to Los Angeles in 2009, Hollywood came calling. XiXi Yang started covering red carpet events for All Entertainment TV, MSN, and became the Sunday host for Facebook News Television, where she dished on all the latest new media happenings and connected viewers with their favorite celebrities through Facebook. (Facebook News Television was distributed to over half-a-million websites in 150 countries worldwide.)
During her two-year venture, XiXi Yang produced segments, directed shoots, edited, and interviewed many of Hollywood’s biggest stars such as Natalie Portman, Russell Brand, and Olivia Wilde. Although XiXi had achieved a great amount of success at a very young age, it was her drive and passion for finding the next big story and share it with everyone on the World Wide Web that led her to launch and create PopStop TV. Some of XiXi’s exclusive celebrity interviews for PopStop TV have been featured in LA Times, Yahoo! Movies, AOL’s Spinner, and various entertainment networks.

She also has her finger on the pulse of next generation, knowing exactly what’s hot on the market.
