female celebrities - Tara Reid

Tara Reid

Tara Reid (born November 8, 1975, Wyckoff, New Jersey) is an American actress and model who has starred in films such as American Pie (1999) and Dr. T & the Women. In 2005, she played the lead in videogame adaptation Alone in the Dark. She is of Irish, English, Hungarian, French, and Italian descent.

Reid began her career at the age of six in 1982 on the short-lived game show Child's Play. As a child she had roles in a number of commercials for McDonald's, Crayola, and Jell-O. She grew up in New York City, and attended the Professional Children's School alongside such celebrities as Ben Taylor, Jerry O'Connell, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Macaulay Culkin. Reid spent the late 1990s appearing more often on the cover of tabloid magazines than on screen. Her extroverted social life soon gave her a reputation as a party girl — in fact, U.S. magazine In Touch recently voted Reid "top party animal".

Although her breakthrough role was in American Pie in 1999, followers of the 1998 cult film The Big Lebowski already knew her as Bunny Lebowski. She has appeared as J.D.'s (Zach Braff) unfaithful girlfriend in the NBC comedy Scrubs.

On the night of Thursday November 4, 2004, Reid was embarrassed by a wardrobe malfunction at a highly publicized photo shoot at P. Diddy's thirty-fifth birthday party at Cipriani's Restaurant in New York when her dress fell, exposing her left breast. Scar tissue was visible around Reid's nipple, confirming rumors of breast implants. The photographs were widely distributed. In August 2005 she finally admitted having had her breasts augmented. [1]

Her half-hour television show on the E! network, Taradise premiered in September 2005, but was cancelled the following month.

Teri Hatcher

Teri Lynn Hatcher (born December 8, 1964 in Sunnyvale, California) is an American actress. She gained attention for her role as Lois Lane in the television series Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, and has achieved her greatest fame and acclaim starring in the show Desperate Housewives.

Hatcher's father was a nuclear physicist and her mother was a computer scientist (both of English descent). She attended Fremont High School in Sunnyvale. In 1994, she married actor Jon Tenney; they had a daughter, Emerson Rose, and later divorced.

 

Career

Hatcher began her performing career as a young girl taking ballet lessons at the San Juan girls' ballet studio in downtown Los Altos before studying acting at the American Conservatory Theater. One of her early jobs was as a San Francisco 49ers cheerleader/dancer in 1984. During this time she appeared as one of the mermaids on the show The Love Boat in its final season.

While probably most noted for playing Lois Lane in the TV series Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, she was also in Spy Kids, the 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies, and many other films. She has also made guest appearances in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Seinfeld, and had a recurring role in MacGyver as his young friend, Penny Parker. Hatcher also appeared in a series of popular Radio Shack television commercials alongside NFL Hall of Famer Howie Long.

In 1997, Hatcher was voted "Sexiest Woman in the World" by the readers of FHM.

She now stars as the single mother Susan Mayer on ABC's Desperate Housewives, a role for which she won the Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Golden Globe Award in January 2005. In July 2005, she was nominated for an Emmy Award in the Best Actress in a Comedy Series category for the same role, along with co-stars Felicity Huffman and Marcia Cross, with Huffman the eventual winner.

female celebrities - Tiffani Amber Thiessen

Tiffani Amber Thiessen

Tiffani-Amber Thiessen (born January 23, 1974 in Long Beach, California, USA to Frank Thiessen and Robyn Ernest) is an American television and film actress. After many years of going by her full name, she is now credited as simply Tiffani Thiessen. Thiessen had a restraining order against KLSX's Frosty Stilwell for stalking.

As a child, she competed in many beauty pageants, and she won the Miss Junior America pageant in 1987. Her first big break in show business was her role on the television program Saved By The Bell, as nice girl teen Kelly Kapowski. This was very different from her next major role, as a duplicitous vixen on Beverly Hills, 90210. She later starred in the sitcom Two Guys and a Girl and the short-lived action show Fastlane.

Her transition to movies has not gone well so far, as most of her movies, including Love Stinks, have been critically panned. In 2002, she appeared in the film Hollywood Ending by Woody Allen.

In March 1999, her boyfriend at the time, actor David Strickland (Suddenly Susan), committed suicide.

On July 9, 2005, she married actor Brady Smith. It is the first marriage for both.

celebrities - Shannon Elizabeth

Shannon Elizabeth

Shannon Elizabeth Fadal (born September 7, 1973) is an American actress and model. Elizabeth came to prominence in the 1999 comedy film American Pie.

She was born in Houston, Texas to Gerald Edward Fadal (of Syrian and Lebanese descent) and Patricia Dianne Abbott (of French, English, and American Indian (Cherokee) descent); she was raised in Waco. In high school, Elizabeth was very much interested in tennis, and at one point even considered a professional tennis career. She worked as a model before she began a career in film. In August of 1999, she appeared nude in Playboy Magazine.

She married actor Joseph D. Reitman on June 15, 2002, but separated in March 2005, and filed for divorce in late June.

One year before their divorce, she was Punk'd by Ashton Kutcher's crew members. It has been speculated by some that it was this—her husband Joe helped in fooling her into thinking she was caught on a sex tape—that was the cause of their breakup. 1

Elizabeth played in the 2005 World Series of Poker's main event.

celebrities - Sharon Stone

Sharon Stone

Sharon Vonne Stone (born March 10, 1958 in Meadville, Pennsylvania) is an American actress, model (height: 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m)), and producer with ancestral roots in Galway, Ireland. She came to international attention for her performance in the 1992 blockbuster film Basic Instinct, which caused controversy for its erotic content. She was one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood in the 1990s, until she moved to San Francisco to live with her husband and raise their adopted son. When that marriage dissolved, Stone returned to Los Angeles and resumed her film career.

Early life and education

Stone was born in Meadville, Pennsylvania, USA, a town south of Erie. The second of four children, she is the daughter of Joe and Dorothy Stone, who were blue collar workers. It has been said that her parents raised her with feminist values. "My dad never raised me to believe that being a woman inhibited any of my choices or my possibilities to succeed. To be a feminist like Dad in that blue-collar, middle-class world is a big stand," said Sharon.

She was said to be a smart and ambitious child. She has described herself as "a nerdy, ugly duckling who sat in the back of the closet with a flashlight and read. I was never a kid. I walked and talked at 10 months. I started school in the second grade when I was five, a real weird, academically driven kid, not at all interested in being social. Recess was a drag until I realized I didn't have to play, that I could lean up against a wall and read." Most of the kids disliked her because she was standoffish and didn't play children's games. One day on the playground she announced, "I am the new Marilyn Monroe." Her mother said "Sharon has been posing from the day she arrived. She came out posing."

As a young woman, her IQ was tested and rated at a high level of 154 points. After skipping a grade in school, she was involuntarily transferred from Saegertown High to Edinboro University in Pennsylvania, enrolling at the young age of 15.

Because she was very self-conscious of her looks, to the point that one biographer said she suffered from "a textbook case of Body dysmorphic disorder, her uncle bribed her with $100 to enter a local beauty contest in order to improve her self-esteem. She entered the contest because she needed the money to help pay her college tuition. She lost the contest, but one of the judges encouraged her to enter the Miss Pennsylvania contest, which she declined. Instead, she entered the county contest and won the title of Miss Crawford County in Meadville. One of the pageant judges said she should quit school and move to New York to become a model. When her mother heard this, she agreed, and in 1977 Stone left Meadville, moving in with an aunt in New Jersey. Within four days of her arrival in New Jersey, she was signed by the elite Ford modeling agency in New York.

 

Entertainment career

1980 - 1990

After joining the Ford Modeling Agency, Stone spent a few years modeling, and appeared in TV commercials for Burger King, Clairol and Maybelline, but she didn't enjoy her work. While living in Europe she decided to quit modeling and become an actress. "So I packed my bags, moved back to New York, and stood in line to be an extra in a Woody Allen movie," she later recalled. She was cast for a brief but memorable role in Allen's Stardust Memories (1980), and then had a speaking part a year later in the horror movie Deadly Blessing (1981), which was a big box-office success. When French director Claude Lelouch saw Stone in "Stardust Memories" he was so impressed that he cast her in "Les Uns et Les Autres" (1982), starring James Caan. She was only on screen for two minutes, and didn't appear in the credits.

Her next role was in Irreconcilable Differences (1984), starring Ryan O'Neal, Shelley Long, and young Drew Barrymore. Stone plays a starlet who breaks up the marriage of a successful director and his screenwriter wife. The story was based on the real-life experience of director Peter Bogdanovich, his set designer wife Polly Platt, and Cybill Shepherd, who as a young actress starred in Bogdanovich's The Last Picture Show (1971). The highlight of her performance is when her cocaine addict character plays Scarlett O'Hara in a musical remake of Gone with the Wind. Later that year, she took a part on Magnum, P.I., the highest-rated television show at the time.

She married television producer Michael Greenburg in 1984 on the set of The Vegas Strip War, a TV movie he produced and she starred in, along with Rock Hudson and James Earl Jones. The marriage quickly fell apart; they split up three years later, and their divorce was finalized in 1990.

Throughout the rest of the 1980s she appeared in seven movies of poor quality, such as King Solomon's Mines (1985), and Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold (1987).

 

1990 - 2005





Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct.




Sharon Stone and William Baldwin in SliverHer appearance in Total Recall (1990) with Arnold Schwarzenegger gave her career a much needed jolt. To coincide with the movie's release, she posed nude for Playboy magazine, showing off the buff body she developed in preparation for the movie (she pumped iron and learned Tae Kwon Do.) She said she posed for the magazine because she needed the money. "I had just remodeled my house. I was broke. I needed the bread."

Sharon Stone on the cover of July 1990 issue of PlayboyShortly after the release of Total Recall, Stone had a bad car accident on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. Immediately after the accident, she went home, not knowing she had just suffered a concussion. She woke up almost completely paralyzed and ended up lying on the floor, crying, for three days. When she finally got to the hospital, she was diagnosed with the concussion, a dislocated shoulder and jaw, several broken ribs, and three compressed disks in her back. The accident left scars that are visible in some of her later screen appearances.

While her memorable role in the Schwarzenegger movie should have led to other important job offers, her career took a considerable dip for the next two years. She worked often and worked hard (five movies in two years), but the movies were low budget productions that few people saw.

The role that made her a true star, the Faye Dunaway of her generation, was that of Catherine Tramell, a brilliant coke-snorting bisexual mind-game playing serial killer in the sexually-charged Basic Instinct (1992). Stone went to considerable trouble to obtain the part for which she was far from first choice. Stone had to wait and actually turned down offers for the mere prospect to play Catherine Tramell. Several better known actresses of the time such as Genna Davis turned down the part mostly because of the nudity required. In the movie’s most notorious scene Ms. Tramell is being questioned by the police and she crosses and uncrosses her legs revealing the fact she wasn't wearing any underwear. Nothing was left to the imagination. Stone claims to have been tricked into the stunt and considered a lawsuit. Latter she admitted that the bold act help make the movie the number one box office hit of the year. That year, she was rated by People magazine as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world. After years of litigation "Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction" is currently in production due to be released in 2006.

In 1995, Empire magazine chose her as one of the 100 sexiest stars in film history.

Sharon Stone, Mayor Gavin Newsom and Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom at the NCLR Spirit Awards, San Francisco, April 24, 2004.In 1996, she received an Academy Award for Best Actress nomination for her role as Ginger in Martin Scorsese's Casino (1995), a role for which she won a Golden Globe award. In October 1997, she was ranked among the top 100 movie stars of all time by Empire magazine.

On February 14, 1998, she married Phil Bronstein, editor of the San Francisco Chronicle. In 1999, she was rated among the 25 sexiest stars of the century by Playboy.

Stone and Bronstein got a divorce in January 2004, after he had suffered a severe heart attack. They have an adopted son named Roan, born in 2000. Stone herself was hospitalized following a brain aneurysm in October 2001, but has since recovered.

In 2005 during a television interview for her movie Basic Instinct 2, Sharon came out as bisexual stating "Middle age is an open-minded period." [1]

In April of 2004, she was awarded the National Center for Lesbian Rights Spirit Award in San Francisco for her support and involvement with organizations that serve the lesbian, gay and HIV/AIDS community. She was presented the award by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, then embroiled in a national controversy over his decision to allow same sex marriage in his city.

She lives in Beverly Hills, California, and owns a ranch in New Zealand.

On Saturday, May 7, 2005, Stone, at the age of 47, adopted a baby boy who was born in Texas to a surrogate mother. She has named the baby Laird Vonne Stone.

Penelope Cruz

Penélope Cruz Sánchez, nicknamed simply Pe, is a Spanish actress. She was born April 28, 1974 in Madrid and named after a song by Joan Manuel Serrat. Her parents are Eduardo Cruz, a retailer, and Encarna Sánchez, a hairdresser. Cruz was a dancer as a child and young teen. She completed 2º B.U.P.

She received nine years of classic ballet training at the Conservatorio Nacional in Madrid, four years of dance performance with several dance courses at the Cristina Rota School in New York, and three years of Spanish Ballet with Ángela Garrido. She also had Jazz Dance courses with Raúl Caballero.

She first achieved fame when she appeared in the video clip La fuerza del destino for the Spanish synth-pop group Mecano. She then started a relationship with Nacho Cano, a member of the group, which lasted for several years.

She was a TV presenter for the teen-oriented program La Quinta Marcha, in collaboration with Jesús Vázquez.

Biography

Cook was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Thomas Howard Cook and JoAnne Maria Mozzone (an Italian American). She began working as a print model at the age of 10, most notably in nationwide advertisements for Target and appearing on the boxes of Milk-Bone dog biscuits for medium sized dogs.

At 14, Cook began auditioning for acting work. Her modeling agency sent her to read for a short film, 26 Summer Street (1996). She first gained national attention when she was featured in the memorable This is Your Brain on Drugs public-service television advertisement. Success in the acting profession followed quickly and she debuted in The Baby-Sitters Club (1995).

Her two biggest roles to date have been the leads in She's All That (1999) and Josie and the Pussycats (2001). Cook has also appeared in a number of independent films and in the 2005 television miniseries Into the West.

She owns her own production company called Ben's Sister Productions, the name of which is a reference to her younger brother, Ben, who is an aspiring filmmaker.

After becoming engaged in December 2003, she married actor Daniel Gillies in August 2004.
