celebrities - Elizabeth Hurley
Elizabeth Hurley
Elizabeth Jane Hurley (born June 10, 1965) is an English model, actress, producer and designer, born in Basingstoke, Hampshire. Her mother is an English Protestant while her late father was a lapsed Catholic of Irish descent. Her height is 1.73m.
Elizabeth has an older sister, Kate, and a younger brother, Michael. She took ballet classes as a child and got a scholarship at a boarding school at the age of 12 but was expelled for poor grades. She first came to public attention following her wearing of a form-fitting black Versace gown barely held together with safety pins (referred to as 'that' dress in the British press), at the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), a film that starred her then-companion Hugh Grant.
Her notable Hollywood films include, two Austin Powers movies (1997 & 1999) and Bedazzled (2000). She has also produced two films starring Grant, Extreme Measures (1996) and Mickey Blue Eyes (1999), under their jointly owned Simian production company. Additionally, in 2004 she was an executive producer on the film Method. She dated Grant from 1987 until 2001 and they seem to remain good friends.
She is the face of Estée Lauder's ReNutriv Skin Care Line. In addition, she has a lipstick named after her, Elizabeth Pink, the profits of which go to the Breast Cancer Foundation.
Since her breakup with Grant, she has been linked with multi-millionaire American film producer Stephen Bing and American millionaire Ted Forstmann. She is engaged to half-Indian, half-German Arun Nayar, the playboy son of a Bombay textile millionaire, whom she has been seeing since 2003 and who obtained a divorce from his Italian wife, Valentina Pedroni, in early 2005. On April 4, 2002, she gave birth to a son, Damian Charles Hurley, fathered by Bing, who initially denied paternity. DNA tests confirmed that he was the father. Damian was baptized a Roman Catholic, as Elizabeth Hurley has been contemplating converting to Catholicism for more than a decade but has not yet officially done so; having a child out of wedlock is frowned on by Catholics.
She has homes in London; in Ampney Crucis, a village in Gloucestershire, England; and in Beverly Hills, California. The Daily Mail 2004 Rich List put her fortune at an estimated £17 million. She said she gets her "hot date" look by eating a lot of Watercress Soup. Elizabeth's dress size is (US) 6 (UK 8 EU 38)
In April of 2005 her beachwear line Elizabeth Hurley Beach debuted in select Saks Fifth Avenue stores in the United States, Harrod's in the UK and in various other locations worldwide.
Elizabeth Hurley is apparently a favorite of director David Yates to play Bellatrix Lestrange in the upcoming film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in 2007 .
Another interesting fact is that Hurley has twelve piercings in her ears and a pierced nose. She says the Estée Lauder people do a good job of covering them.

celebrities - Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria
Eva Jacqueline Longoria (born March 15, 1975) is a Mexican-American actress and model.
Longoria was born in Corpus Christi, Texas. She was teased about being ugly when she was a teenager.
Her rise to fame began when she starred as psychotic Isabella Brana Williams on The Young and the Restless from 2001 to 2003. After leaving Y&R, she was seen on the now-canceled L.A. Dragnet, after which she landed the role of model-unhappily-married-to-money Gabrielle Solis on the popular drama Desperate Housewives in 2004.
Longoria is a former Miss Corpus Christi, was one of People en Español’s "Most Beautiful People" for 2003, and was #1 in Maxim Magazine's hottest female stars of 2005.
Longoria was married to General Hospital star Tyler Christopher from 2002 to 2004, and as such, was also credited as Eva Longoria Christopher. Longoria has been romantically linked to Screen Actors Guild president Sid Laura Horowitz, successful writer Milan Gracanin, ex-*NSYNC member JC Chasez, and basketball star Tony Parker of the NBA's San Antonio Spurs.
Longoria spoke candidly about her affection for vibrators in an interview that Rolling Stone magazine published December 15 2004. As a result readers started sending sextoys to Longoria. Her employer ABC asked Longoria to stop mentioning the word vibrator in interviews.
Longoria caused a stir at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards when she appeared in a one-piece bathing suit to introduce Mariah Carey's equally head-turning performance, and joked that she “wasn’t going to let a little hurricane keep me from wearing a bathing suit.” At the 2005 Emmy Awards, wherein she had been passed over for nomination, she satirized Housewives internal drama by being interviewed by host Ellen DeGeneres from her supposedly-relegated-to worst seats in the house.

celebrities - Faith Hill
Faith Hill
Audrey Faith Perry, later known as Faith Hill (born September 21, 1967 in Jackson, Mississippi), is an American country singer, known for her commercial success as well as her much-publicized marriage to country singer Tim McGraw.
Early life
Hill was raised in Star, Mississippi and began singing at a very early age. After graduating high school, Hill went to college briefly before dropping out and moving to Nashville in an attempt at starting a singing career.
Hill is adopted and met her biological mother in the early 1990s. She was married to a music executive named Dan Hill from 1988 to 1994. Working as a secretary in a music publishing company, Hill's singing was noticed as she sang to herself one day. She soon signed to Warner Brothers Records.
Country success
Hill's debut album was Take Me As I Am (1993); sales were strong, buoyed by the chart success of "Wild One". A version of Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart", also went to the top of the country charts. She was delayed in the recording of her second album by surgery on her vocal cords. It Matters to Me finally appeared in 1995 and was another success, with the title track becoming her fourth #1 country single.
Hill began seeing country singer Tim McGraw. When he proposed marriage to her in one of his tour trailers, he had to go perform right then, so she took a permanent marker and wrote her answer on the mirror. Hill began touring with McGraw and married him on October 6, 1996. The couple has three children together: Gracie Katherine, Maggie Elizabeth and Audrey Caroline.
Pop crossover
Faith Hill's Album BreatheHill's 1998 album, Faith, moved her closer towards a mainstream, pop-oriented sound, which lost her many of her long-time fans. "This Kiss" became a #1 country hit, and went to #7 on the pop charts.
Hill's fame grew rapidly as she signed an endorsement deal with CoverGirl makeup and released Breathe, an even more successful pop hit that became one of the biggest albums of 2000. The title track "Breathe" was the #1 pop airplay song that year and has become Hill's signature song; especially notable is the power and control she shows in her lower register during the song. "The Way You Love Me" hit the top ten as well (#7), and becoming one of the longest running singles in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 (57 weeks). The album won Hill three Grammy Awards including Best Country Album.
By the holidays she had contributed "Where Are You Christmas?" to the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas and the following summer she recorded the Diane Warren penned "There You'll Be" for the Pearl Harbor soundtrack.
In 2002, Hill released Cry. Though the album debuted at #1 on Billboard magazine's pop and country album charts, its singles (including the title track, written and originally performed by Angie Aparo) received much less radio airplay than her previous smashes. In fact, country radio pretty much ignored the songs, considering them "too pop". The album did win one Grammy Award.
In the summer of 2004, Hill co-starred with Nicole Kidman and Matthew Broderick in director Frank Oz's remake of the 1975 thriller The Stepford Wives.
She references this sojourn in Hollywood as well as the chilly reception of Cry in the 2005 country release "Mississippi Girl", the first single from her back-to-roots album Fireflies. It worked, as the song restored her to the top of the country charts. She performed this song along with "Breathe" and "Piece of My Heart" at the Live 8 concert in Rome on July 2, 2005, where McGraw also performed.
