Celebrities Now And Then

Ryan Gosling

2011-11-30T06:58:00.000-08:00

Ryan Thomas Gosling born in London Ontario on November 12th 1980. Raised in Corwall, Ontario his father Thomas Gosling a paper mill worker and his mother Donna a secretary who also qualified as a high school teacher in 2011. Growing up his parents were Mormons. Ryan say's about his parents being Mormon "it was a part of everything - what they ate, how they thought".

His parents divorced when he was a child and he and his older sister, Mandi, were raised by their mother, an experience Gosling has credited with programming him "to think like a girl."

Ryan was bullied in elementary school and had "no pals" "not in a sad,'poor me' way. I didn't want any. I liked being alone. It was only when I was 14,15 I got friends." "I hated being a kid. I didn't like being told what to do, I didn't like my body, I didn't like any of it."

In the 1st grade having been influenced by the film Rambo: First Blood he brought steak knives to school and threw them at other children during recess. This incident lead to a suspension. While attending Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School, he was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), prescribed Ritalin and placed in a class for special needs students. He was unable to read which he found "pretty frustrating. I couldn't absorb any of the information, so I caused trouble."

His mother quit her job and home schooled him for a year. Ryan said that homeschooling gave him "a sense of autonomy that I've never really lost"

He developed an idiosyncratic accent because "as a kid I thought having a Canadian accent didn't sound tough. I thought guys should like Marlon Brando. So now I have a phony accent that can't shake." He dropped out of high school at the age of 17 to focus on his career.

Ryan stars in the ever popular chick-flick The Notebook. I hate to admit it but I did like the movie and have heard many complaints (from the ladies) that Ryan should have been sexiest man of the year/alive in 2011.

Other movies I liked him in are Remember the Titans,Murder by Numbers and The United States of Leland.

Tiffani Thiessen

2011-11-22T03:28:00.001-08:00

Tiffani-Amber Thiessen is an American actress born on January 23rd 1974 in Long Beach, California. Daughter of Robyn a homemaker who is Greek,Turkish and of Welsh descent. Frank Thiessen her father a park designer and landscape architect who is German. Tiffani has two brothers, an older brother Todd who is an actor and avid professional cyclist. Her younger brothers name is Schuyler.

Tiffani told InStyle magazine: "I'm a mutt. I have so much of everything in me, and half of it I don't even know. German on one side,Greek,Turkish and Welsh on the other. My mom is very olive-skinned; I get my blue eyes from my dad." She credits her brother, Todd as one of her most important sources of inspiration as well as her mother and grandmother as role models. She attended Cubberley Elementary and Marshall Junior High School in Long Beach. In 1992 she graduated as valedictorian at Valley Professional High School in Studio City, Los Angeles, California.Tiffani dated Brian Austin Green during the early to mid 1990's. From October 2001 to March 2003 she was engaged to actor Richard Ruccolo whom she had met during the Two Guys and a Girl. She married actor Brady Smith on July 9th 2005.

At the age of 15 she auditioned for the role of Kelly Kapowski on the television show Saved by the Bell. I always associate her with that show when I see her. Just recently I started watching the show White Collar where she plays the husband of a cop. Of course she is too hot for her so called husband in the show. Tiffani has been in quite a few smaller roles in television shows like Married... with Children,Charles in Charge,Step by Step,Blossom,Beverly Hills 90210,News Radio,Two Guys a Girl And A Pizza Place and Just Shoot Me. I thought she was incredibly sexy in the movie Son in Law.

Hugh Jackman

2011-11-15T20:09:00.001-08:00

Hugh Michael Jackman born on October 12th 1968 in Sydney,New South Wales. Hugh is the youngest of five siblings. His parents are English. Chris Jackman his father and Grace Watson his mother. Hugh was the second child in his family to be born in Australia.

In November 2008 Open Salon named Hugh one of the sexiest men alive. Then later on in that same month People magazine followed suit naming him Sexiest Man Alive. Hugh Jackman is a singer,dancer,actor and likes to do stage musicals. He has hosted the Tony awards three times and received an award for his role in The Boy from OZ. He also hosted the 81st Academy awards in 2009 February 22nd.
His parents unfortunately divorced when he was eight. Hugh stayed with his father and his mother moved back to England after the divorce. One of his paternal Grandfathers was Greek.
He went to primary school at Pymble Public School and later attended an all-boys Knox Grammar School where he stared in its production of My Fair Lady in 1985 and became the captain of the school in 1986.
Hugh played rugby union and cricket in high school. He also took part in high jumping and was on the swimming team.

Later after obtaining his BA Hugh completed the one year course "The Journey" at the Actors Centre in Sydney. Hugh's thoughts on studying acting full time "It wasn't until I was 22 that I ever thought about my hobby being something I could make a living out of. As a boy, I'd always had an interest in theater. But the idea at my school was that drama and music were to round out the man. It wasn't what one did for a living. I got over that. I found the courage to stand up and say, "I want to do it."
I like how modest and normal Hugh Jackman appears to be.

He also stated he "always loved acting but when I started at drama school I was like the dunce of the class. It just wasn't coming right to me. Everyone was cooler, everyone seemed more likely to succeed, everyone seemed more natural at it and in retrospect I think that is good. I think it is good to come from behind as an actor. I think it is good to go into an audition thinking 'Man I've got to be at my best to get this gig.'
Hugh married Deborra-Lee Furness on April 11th 1996. I believe the couple met while on the set of Correlli, an Australian television series. He personally designed an engagement ring for Deborra-Lee boring the Sanskrit inscription "Om paramar mainamar", translation "We dedicate our union to a greater source". They had two miscarriages, after that Hugh and Deborra-Lee decided to adopt. Oscar Maximillian born on May 15th 2000 and Ava Eliot, born on July the 10th 2005.
My favorite movies include the X-Men trilogy, Kate and Leopold, Someone Like You, Swordfish, Van Helsing, (voice of Memphis) Happy Feet, The Prestige, The Fountain and Real Steel. I just found out he was the voice of Gaston, in the classic Walt Disney production of Beauty and the Beast.
Topless primal screams on Conan. Hilarious!

Julia Roberts

2011-10-27T23:12:00.000-07:00

Happy Birth Julia! Julia Fiona Roberts was born on this day October 28th 1967. Her claim to fame is when she headlined with the ever famous movie Pretty Woman. Which, by the way grossed over $464 million worldwide! That same year she won golden globe awards for Steel Magnolias and Pretty Woman back in 1989.
Julia was named one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in the World 11 times. Apparently she is tied with Halle Berry in that category.
Julia Roberts has the production company called Red Om Films.

Megan Fox

2011-10-21T04:21:00.000-07:00

Megan Denise Fox born on May 16th 1986. Megan is both an Actress and a model. I hear a lot of Megan Fox mostly from men who go on and on about how hot she is. Of course, who am I to disagree?
Megan began her acting career in 2001 in several television and films. All minor roles until the blockbuster film Transformers which brought her directly into the spotlight. She returned to act in the sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen although I heard she had problems with the director and almost didn't take part in the second movie. I believe the director Michael Bay wanted her to gain weight?
During an interview with The Times Megan stated on the topic of being a role model "It depends on what your idea of a role model is... If your idea of a role model is somebody who's gonna preach to your kids that sex before marriage is wrong and cursing is wrong and women should be this and be that, then I'm not a role model. But if you want your girls to feel strong and intelligent and be outspoken and fight for what they think is right, then I want to be that type of role model, yeah."
She also stated on the topic of being typecast "Getting typecast as what? Attractive? How bad is that?"
Megan was born in Oak Ridge Tennessee. Her parents Darlene and Franklin Fox divorced when she was young. Her step fathers name is Tony Tonachio. Megan was raised Roman Catholic and went to chatholic school for the long haul of 12 years. Living in a very strict home she and her sister was not allowed a boyfriend or to invite friends over.
Megan lived with her mother until she made enough money to support herself. She began her training in drama and dance at the age of only five in Kingston, Tennessee. She also attended dance class at the community center. She was in chorus and swam with the Clippers swim team at Kingston elementary.
At the age of 10 Megan and her family moved to St. Petersburg, Florida. She won several awards modeling at the age of 13 at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention in Hilton Head in South Carolina. Megan tested out of school via correspondence in order to move to Los Angeles.
She has spoken extensively of her time in education. She states that in middle school she was bullied and picked on to the point where she ate her lunch in the bathroom to avoid being "pelted with ketchup packets".
She says the problem was not her looks but rather that she had "always gotten along better with boys" and that "rubbed some people the wrong way".

Megan also said that in high school she was never popular and that "everyone hated me, and I was a total outcast, my friends were always guys, I have a very aggressive personality, and girls didn't like me for that. I've had only one great girlfriend my whole life". In the same interview she mentions that she hated school and has never been "a big believer in formal education" and "the education I was getting seemed irrelevant. So, I was sort of checked out on that part of it".
Megan Fox thinks she is not at the same level of such actresses like Jennifer Aniston,Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.
Here is Seth Rogan on The Jimmy Kimmel Show claiming he was rejected when he tries to give a kiss on Megan's cheek. Hilarious!

I'm sure she didn't do it on purpose. Or did she?

Zooey Deschanel

2011-10-02T17:03:00.000-07:00

She was named after Zooey Glass the male protagonist of J.D. Salinger's 1961 novella Franny and Zooey. Emily Deschanel her older sister is also an actress and stars in the TV series Bones.Zooey lived in Los Angeles, but spent much of her childhood traveling because her father shot films on location; she later said that she "hated all the traveling ... I'm really happy now that I had the experience, but at the time I was just so miserable to have to leave my friends in Los Angeles and go to places where they didn't have any food I liked or things I was used to."She attended Crossroads which is a private preparatory schoo in Santa Monica California. There she made friends with Jake Gyllenhaal and Kate Hudson. She sang throughout high school aspiring to have a career in musical theatre. She attended Northwestern University for a whole seven months until she ended up dropping out to work as an actress.
Sorry fellas this beautiful girl from next door is taken. She got married to Ben Gibbard in September 2009 who is the lead vocalist for The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie.
Zooey tried being a vegan being allergic to eggs,dairy and wheat gluten but that failed because her food sensitivities made it difficult to stay healthy.
She has stated that she has attention deficit disorder but these days, who doesn't have that?
I like her because shes another one of those actors that when she acts it seems like she is being herself.

As far as the films and shows she acts in? I personally like Almost Famous,The Good Girl(which wasn't a very good movie),Big Trouble,The New Guy,Frasier,Elf,The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,Failure to Launch,Live Free or Die,Bridge to Terabithia,Tin Man,The Happening and Yes Man.

Michael Cera

2011-09-10T20:23:00.000-07:00

Michael Austin Cera born on June 7th 1988 in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. He is an actor and an occasional musician. I like the way he acts because he seems real to me. His mother is Linda from Quebec and his father Luigi from Sicily and was a technician. Both parents worked for the Xerox company.

Michael has an older sister Jordan and a younger sister as well named Molly. After watching the movie Ghostbusters repeatedly when he was sick with the chicken pox at the age of 3. Michael memorized the dialogue to the movie idolizing Bill Murray he became very interested in acting.

He ended up enrolling at The Second City Toronto and took improvisation classes. He also attended Conestoga Public School Robert H. Lagerquist Senior Public School and Heart Lake Secondary School up until the 9th grade. From there on out he finished high school through correspondence.

His first role was an unpaid appearance in a Tim Hortons summer camp commercial. Eventually that led to a Pillsbury commercial in which he got to poke the Pillsbury Doughboy. That commercial was his first role that had lines.

I guess he was in the movie Frequency as Gordy Jr. at age 10. I'll have to watch that again. Other movies he was in that I liked are Switching Goals,
Superbad,Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist,Paper Heart and Year One.

Mayra Verónica

2011-07-07T19:41:00.000-07:00

In 1984, she came to the US with her mother Mayra Rodriguez, leaving behind the rest of her family including her father Arturo Aruca and sister Giselle Guzman. Her father came a year later and reunited with Veronica and her mother, while her sister was unable to meet them until thirteen years later.

Mayra is a model and a singer. She was in FHM Magazine and then was included in their 2004 calender. After that she went on to work with other magazines. She made appearances on many Spanish language television shows, as well as appearing in music videos and television commercials.
Mayra is a spokeswoman for the USO(United Service Organizations).
Her music Vengo Con To' (I'm coming at you with everything).
On July 2, 2009 the New York Stock Exchange asked her to ring the NASDAQ bell for the Fourth of July week. Verónica decided to bring awareness to two of the organizations for which she's an advocate and spokesperson, The USO and UNICEF and brought them to the bell ringing ceremony.
FHM the top men's magazine of the time, contacted Mayra's publicist to ask for a feature spread on their magazine.
She agreed and after mail requesting her return and went on to appear on the cover of the FHM exclusive collection book which included top sex symbols of the decade like Pamela Anderson, Eva Longoria and Carmen Electra. Mayra was featured on other covers for FHM, Maxim, Edge, GQ and over 100 other national and international covers. Her popularity on such covers made her website at the time one of the top requested websites with more than 4 million hits biweekly.
With her popularity came email from soldiers stationed in Iraq asking for her posters and by now famous calendars. Veronica's management sent a care package of approximately 5000 posters. Shortly, the military named her favorite pin-up girl for the US Marines and the USO asked her to tour with the troops. Blah blah blah she's smokin hot!

George Clooney

He is also related to another singer, Debby Boone who married José Ferrer and Rosemary Clooney's son Gabriel. From an early age, George would hang around his father's sets, often participating in shows, where he proved to be a crowd favorite.
He began his education at the Blessed Sacrament School in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky. Spending part of his childhood in Ohio he started attending St. Michael's School in Columbus and St. Susanna School in Mason, Ohio. In middle school, he developed Bell's palsy, a debilitating condition that partially paralyzes the face. The malady went away within a year.

Sarah Michelle Gellar

2011-06-15T19:32:00.000-07:00

Sarah Michelle Prinze born April 14th in 1977.
Sarah was born in New York City. She is the only child of Rosellen (née Greenfield), a nursery school teacher and her father Arthur Gellar, a garment worker. Both of her parents were Jewish, though her family had a Christmas tree during the holidays while she was growing up. In 1984, when she was 7 years old, her parents divorced and she was brought up solely by her mother on the Upper East Side. She graduated from Fiorello LaGuardia High School of the Performing Arts in 1995. Sarah was estranged from her father until his death from liver cancer on October 9, 2001.

At the age of four, she was spotted by an agent in a restaurant in Uptown Manhattan. Two weeks later, she auditioned for a part in An Invasion of Privacy, a made-for-television film starring Valerie Harper, Carol Kane and Jeff Daniels. At the audition, Sarah read both her own lines and those of Harper, impressing the directors enough to cast her in the role. She subsequently appeared in a controversial television commercial for Burger King, in which her character criticized McDonald's and claimed to eat only at Burger King. This led to a lawsuit by McDonald's. As a child, Sarah also modeled for magazines.
I of course know her best as "Buffy The Vampire Slayer".
As of September 2008, Sarah's films have grossed in the US for $627.3 million. Sarah's most successful starring role is in The Grudge, which opened with US$39.1 million opening weekend and grossed over US$110 million in the U.S.
Sarah is married to Freddie Prize Jr. They have a daughter named Charlotte Grace Prinze, born in September 2009.
Sarah has a black belt in taekwondo.
She also has revealed that she suffers from a phobia of being buried alive. Saying "I really fear graveyards and I have a big phobia of being buried alive. It was really hard being an ass-kicking vampire slayer when you are afraid of graves."
Geller said she was born Jewish but she doesn't believe in any organized religion now.
Sarah is an active advocate for various charities, including breast cancer research, Project Angel Food, Habitat for Humanity and CARE, a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty, all of which she says you get to "physically do something". She says, "I started because my mother taught me a long time ago that even when you have nothing, there's ways to give back. And what you get in return for that is tenfold. But it was always hard because I couldn't do a lot. I couldn't do much more than just donate money when I was on the show because there wasn't time. And now that I have the time, it's amazing."

Bruce Willis

2011-06-09T19:32:00.000-07:00

Walter Bruce Willis born on March 19th 1955 in Idar-Oberstein, West Germany. His father David Willis was an American soldier and his mother worked in a bank. They decided two years after Bruce was born to move to America after his father was discharged from the military. They moved to Penns Grove, New Jersey where his father became a welder and factory worker.
Bruce is the oldest of four siblings including sister, Florence, and a brother, David. Unfortunately his brother Robert died of pancreatic cancer in 2001 at the age of 42.
Bruce had a stutter when he was younger, which I did not know.
But by expressing himself on stage he lost his stutter. He began performing on stage and became involved academically in school activities like the drama club and became student council president.
Bruce's thoughts on religion.

"Organized religions in general, in my opinion, are dying forms", he says. "They were all very important when we didn't know why the sun moved, why weather changed, why hurricanes occurred, or volcanoes happened", he continues. "Modern religion is the end trail of modern mythology. But there are people who interpret the Bible literally. Literally! I choose not to believe that's the way. And that's what makes America cool, you know?"
Movies I like with Bruce Willis include Blind Date,Die Hard,Look Who's Talking(voice of Mikey),Billy Bathgate,The Last Boy Scout,Death Becomes Her,National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon(uncredited),Pulp Fiction,Twelve Monkeys,The Fifth Element,The Jackal,Armageddon,The Sixth Sense,The Whole Nine Yards,The Kid,Unbreakable,Bandits,Hart's War,Sin City,Lucky Number Slevin,The Astronaut Farmer(uncredited) and Surrogates. The first thing I saw Bruce Willis in was Moonlighting and for some reason I loved that show.
Comming out in the near future... Catch .44,The Cold Light of Day,Looper,Setup,Moonrise Kingdom.
Believe it or not they are working on a Die Hard 5 as well which I think may be a bit of an overkill but we'll see. It might be good who knows?

Bruce's acting role models are Gary Cooper,Robert De Niro,Steve McQueen and John Wayne. At the premiere for the film Stakeout, Bruce met actress Demi Moore. He married Moore on November 21, 1987 and had three daughters: Rumer Willis (b. August 16, 1988), Scout LaRue Willis (b. July 20, 1991) and Tallulah Belle Willis (b. February 3, 1994) before the couple divorced on October 18, 2000. The couple gave no public reason for their breakup. Regarding the divorce, He stated, "I felt I had failed as a father and a husband by not being able to make it work." He credited actor Will Smith for helping him cope with the situation.

After their breakup, rumors persisted that the couple planned to re-marry, until Demi married the actor Aston Kutcher. Bruce has maintained a close relationship with both Demi and Aston, even attending their wedding. Bruce and Demi currently share custody of their daughters. He was engaged to Brooke Burns until they broke up in 2004 after ten months together. He married Emma Heming in Turks and Caicos on March 21, 2009; guests included his three daughters, Moore, and Kutcher. The ceremony was not legally binding, so the couple wed again in a civil ceremony in Beverly Hills six days later. Bruce has also expressed interest in having more children.

Lucy Liu

2011-05-24T10:49:00.000-07:00

Lucy Alexis Liu was born on December 2nd, 1968. Lucy was born in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York.

Her parents came to America from Taiwan. Her father, Tom, was a civil engineer and her mother, Cecilia was a Biochemist in Taiwan. They had to sacrifice those careers in Taiwan to come to the United States.
Her family spoke Mandarin at home and she did not learn English until she was five years old.
She attended the Joseph Pulitzer Middle School and she graduated from New York City's Stuyvesant High School in 1986. She also attended New York University for one year, before transferring to the University of Michigan, where she joined the Chi Omega sorority and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Asian Languages and Cultures. At one point, she actually worked as a waitress in Michigan.
In a Jane interview, she is quoted as saying,
"I think people sometimes get the wrong impression when they're like, 'Oh, well, so-and-so was straight and then she was gay, and now she's straight again,' you know? But it's like, how many times do I have to kiss a woman before I'm gay? Everybody wants to label people. Sometimes you just fall in love with somebody, and you're really not thinking about what gender or whatever they happen to be. I think that if I happen to fall in love with a woman, everyone's going to make a big deal out of it. But if I happen to fall in love with a man, nobody cares." Lucy rock climbs, practices martial arts,skis and plays the accordion.
She is also an artist in several media, and has had three gallery shows showcasing her collage, paintings, and photography. Lucy is a spokesperson in support for marriage equality for gays and lesbians.
She has said about her background, "when you grow up Asian American it’s difficult because you don’t know if you’re Asian or you’re American. You get confused... You need to recognize where your background is from. I think it’s important. Just for yourself. It makes you more whole. It does."
I like Lucy in Payback,Shanghai Noon,Lucky Number Slevin and the voice of Master Viper in Kung Fu Panda.

Patrick Warburton

2011-05-20T04:56:00.000-07:00

Patrick John Warburton born on November 14th, 1964.
Patrick was born in Paterson, New Jersey and grew up in Huntington Beach California. He attended Saints Simon and Jude Catholic School. Moved there with his family when he was three years old.
Patrick attended Servite High School in Anaheim, California and Newport Harbor High School in Newport Beach California.
His father, John Warburton, is an orthopedic surgeon and his mother, Barbara Lord (née Gratz), is an actress. He has three sisters, Mary, Lara, and Megan.

He studied marine biology at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa California but he ended up dropping out to pursue modeling and acting.
He is an American actor in television,film and he does a lot of voices. He is known best for his several TV roles. The best role in my opinion was when he played David Puddy on Scienfeld. All I have to do is look at the guy and it makes me smile. He was also in The Tick, the evil Johnny Johnson on NewsRadio and anchorman Jeb Denton on Less Than Perfect.
His distinctive deep voice has been lent to well-known roles including Ken in Bee Movie,Kronk in The Emperor's New Groove and its sequels, bodyguard Brock Samson on The Venture Bros., paraplegic police officer Joe Swanson on Family Guy, Steve Barkin on Kim Possible, Buzz Lightyear in the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command TV series, and The Wolf in Hoodwinked among others. He currently stars as macho married man Jeff Bingham in the CBS television program Rules of Engagement.
I liked him in the movie Big Trouble when he says "Was that a goat"? That was the best part of that movie for me. That made me laugh my ass off!

Patrick has been married to Cathy Jennings since 1991; they have four children - Talon Patrick (born in 1992), Alexandra Catherine (born 1994), Shane (born 1998) and Gabriel (born October 2000). They live in Camarillo, California.

Laura Prepon

2011-05-15T04:25:00.000-07:00

Her last name is pronounced pree-pawn, in case you were wondering like I was. Born March 7th 1980 in Watchung, New Jersey. She's beautiful,talented and smart. The youngest of five children.
Her mother Marjorie, a high school teacher, and her father's name was Michael. He was an orthopedic surgeon. He passed away during heart surgery in 1993.
She attended Watchung Hills Regional High School. She studied at Caroline Thomas' Total Theater Lab in New York City. Her father was a Russian Jew and her mother is Irish Catholic. Yet in a December 2007 interview in Women's Health, Prepon stated that she was in fact a Scientologist.
Here she is in this video below back in 1996. "six underground" by Sneaker Pimps.

4 minutes 4 seconds

That '70s Show was huge for all of the actors and actresses. I believe she can only go up from here on out. I guess she was named one of Stuff magazine's 102 Sexiest Women of the year.

Will Smith

2011-05-02T18:46:00.000-07:00

Willard Christopher Smith Jr. born September 25th 1968. I remember him first from his music with DJ Jazzy Jeff. Like "You Saw My Blinker Bitch", "Parents Just Don't Understand"
and "Summertime".
Of course after that he was in the classic hit show called The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. I myself even got caught up into it watching nearly every episode there was.
Will was born and raised in West Philadelphia and spent some time in Germantown which is in North West Philadelphia. He is married to Jada Pinkett and has two kids Jaden Christopher Syre (born 1998), his co-star in The Pursuit of Happyness, and Willow Camille Reign (born 2000), who appeared as his daughter in I Am Legend. Caroline (his mother) was a school administrator who worked for the Philadelphia school board, and his father, Willard Christopher Smith, Sr., was a refrigeration engineer. He was raised to be Baptist. His parents were separated when Will was 13 but didn't get divorced until he was about 30 years old.

I think Will Smith is a fantastic actor. Here are a few movies that I liked him in Bad Boys,Independence Day,Men In Black,Enemy of the State. I,Robot and I Am Legend.
I can't wait to see him in more movies.

4 minutes 45 seconds

Molly Ringwald

2011-02-24T13:19:00.000-08:00

Molly Kathleen Ringwald born February 18th 1968 in Roseville, California. Her Mother Adele Edith (née Frembd), a housewife and chef. Her Father Robert Scott "Bob" Ringwald, a blind jazz pianist.

Molly has two siblings, Elizabeth and Kelly. She started her acting career at age five, starring in a stage production of Alice in Wonderland as the Dormouse. The next year, she recorded "I Wanna Be Loved by You," a music album of Dixieland jazz with her father and his group, the Fulton Street Jazz Band.
My favorite movies that she acts in are of course The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles. Those movies were huge to me growing up. My sisters of course liked Pretty In Pink which I thought was tolerable if there was nothing else on. Classic Chick Flick.
She was good in the movie The Stand as well.

She is married to Panio Gianopoulos, a Greek-American writer and book editor, in 2007. They have a daughter, Mathilda Ereni (born October 22, 2003), and twins, Adele Georgiana and Roman Stylianos (born July 10, 2009).

Anthony Hopkins

2011-02-18T18:10:00.000-08:00

Sir Philip Anthony Hopkins born December 31st 1937 in Margam, Port Talbot, Wales. His parents Muriel Anne (née Yeats) and Richard Arthur Hopkins who was a baker. Anthony Hopkins is considered to be one of the greatest living actors. In his younger days he seemed to be more interested in playing the piano, painting or even drawing rather than school. In 1949 his parents insisted he attend Jones West Monmouth Boys School in Pontypool, Wales. A disciplinary school where he attended for 5 terms. Then he went to Cowbridge Grammar School in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales.

When Anthony was 15 years old he briefly met Richard Burton. It was thenthat he got the inspiration to act. After that he attended Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in Cardiff, Wales. He graduated from there in 1957. Then Anthony spent two years in the British Army doing hes national service. In London he trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
Anthony Hopkins was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1993 for services to the arts. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2003 and was made a Fellow of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in 2008.
Still a citizen of he Britain, he also became a U.S. citizen on April 12th 2000 as well. He has won an Academy Award, three BAFTA Awards, two Emmys, a Golden Globe and a Cecil B. DeMille Award.
Of course his most popular movie that had a role in would have to be The Silence of the Lambs as Hannibal Lecter. Which I thought was a pretty messed up movie but that's what they going for. Being a Horror film and all.
He was also good in The Bounty,Bram Stoker's Dracula, Legends of the Fall,The Edge,The Mask of Zorro,Meet Joe Black,Instinct,Hannibal,Hearts in Atlantis,Bad Company and Red Dragon.

Lucy Lawless

2011-02-12T08:58:00.000-08:00

Lucelle Frances Ryan born on March 29th 1968 in Auckland, New Zealand.
The fifth of seven children, she has five brothers and one sister. They lived in the suburbs of Mount Albert. Her mother Julie was a teacher. Her father was a banker and the mayor for Mount Albert.

She began acting in secondary school when she was younger, Lucy suffered bulimia, but was able to overcome the illness in college at the Auckland University. There she studied foreign languages for a year, including German, Italian and French.
She also studied opera for three years. She realized though learning opera required changes in her lifestyle that she was not ready to make. She gave up on both and moved herself to a course of violin and jazz.
Lucy became pregnant at 19 with Garth Lawless. They married in Kalgoorlie, Australia in 1988. Hence the name "Lucy Lawless".
I almost forgot, she is also a singer.
Is Lucy Lawless Gay or Bi-sexual?
There has been a lot of debate from certain people that I know on whether this is true or not.

From what I have found contrary to the show Xena the Warrior Princess, Spartacus and attending Gay Pride Marches. Lucy Lawless is heterosexual as far as I know.

When I saw her in 2007 in Curb Your Enthusiasm (season 6) I didn't even recognize her. Maybe it was the blond hair. Very good actress,singer and extremely hot!

Laurence Fishburne

2011-01-29T20:11:00.000-08:00

Laurence John Fishburne III was born on july 30th 1961 in Augusta, Georgia. His mother Hattie Bell (née Crawford) was a junior high school mathematics and science teacher and his father Laurence John Fishburne, Jr. was a juvenile corrections officer.
When his parents divorced young Laurence and his mother moved to Brooklyn, New York. Where his father still was able to visit him once a month. Laurence graduated from Lincoln Square Academy in New York, which ended up closing in the 1980s.
I know him best for his role as Morpheus in the hit science fiction film series Matrix. He became the first African American to portray Othello in a motion picture by a major studio when he appeared in Oliver Parker's 1995 film adaption of the Shakespearean play.
Laurence Fishburne started acting at the age of twelve in the show called Mod Squad although it didn't last long it was a beginning to a very promising career.

He married actress Hajna O. Moss in 1985. They have two children together thier son, Langston, born in 1987 and their daughter Montana who was born in 1991. Laurence is now married to actress Gina Torres whom he wed on September 22, 2002. They have a child, Delilah born in 2007 and live in Hollywood. He also maintains a residence in New York City, in the Castle Village Co-Op in the Hudson Heights section of Washington Heights.
I like him in Apocalypse Now,Death Wish II,Boyz n the Hood,Searching for Bobby Fischer,Higher Learning, Just Cause, Fled, Event Horizon, Mystic River, Assault on Precinct 13, Fantastic Four:Rise of the Silver Surfer and 21.
I can't wait to see him in the Movie Predators.
Then in 2011 "Contagion" is coming out, which may be good?

(Interesting Fact)
He earned a supporting role in Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now, in which he played a 17-year-old sailor nicknamed 'Mr. Clean'. But when production began in March 1976 he was just fourteen! Apparently he lied about his age to get the part. Filming took so long though that he was seventeen when the film was finally completed.

Jaime Pressly

2011-01-25T11:44:00.000-08:00

Jaime Elizabeth Pressly born on July 30th 1977 in Kinston North Carolina. I meant to mention this earlier on this month but got sidetracked. On the evening of January 5th 2011, Jaime was arrested for suspicion of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in Santa Monica, California.
She is the daughter of Brenda Sue (née Smith) and James Liston Pressly. Jaime has two siblings: sister Jessica and brother James Liston Pressly.
Jaime attended Costa Mesa High School in California, where her mother had moved while her parents were going through the process of a divorce. She subsequently sought and succeeded in having herself legally emancipated from her parents at the age of 15 so she could attend a modeling job in Japan. Neither one of her parents could attend with her, so she had to be emancipated to go on her own.

I know her for her roles in such films as Can't Hardly Wait, Mortal Kombat, Not Another Teen Movie and Joe Dirt. Of course her role as Joy Turner is brilliant in "My Name is Earl" which she won a Primetime Emmy Award in 2007 for Oustanding Comedy Supporting Actress.
Friends for nine years since 1996, she started dating DJ Eric Calvo (aka DJ Eric Cubeechee) in 2004.
After Jaime became pregnant, the two became engaged in October 2006. She gave birth on May 11, 2007 at 7:31 a.m. in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to their first child Dezi James Calvo. In a February 2007 interview on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jaime said she wants the child to be bilingual (English/Spanish) to reflect Calvo's Cuban heritage.
Jaime told People magazine the name is part of a running joke, as Cuban-American Calvo does a Desi Arnaz impersonation, calling her "Luuucy" when he comes home at night. In November 2008 the couple split up.
Pressly said in a 2006 interview with Esquire magazine that she almost purchased a ticket for a flight on one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11th 2001, but decided not to take the flight because she felt it left too early in the morning. In July 2009, Pressly became engaged to entertainment lawyer Simran Singh. Then they got married on September 26,th 2009 at the Dick Clark Estate. Guests, including Pressly's two-year-old son Dezi James, attended the ceremony on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

She was also ranked #8 in Stuff magazine in the "102 Sexiest Women in the World" issue in 2002.

Jack Nicholson

2011-01-21T08:15:00.000-08:00

John Joseph Jack Nicholson born on April 22nd in 1937. Born in St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City, the son of a showgirl, June Frances Nicholson (stage name June Nilson). June had married Italian American showman Donald Furcillo (stage name Donald Rose) six months earlier in Elkton, Maryland on October 16, 1936.
The Elkton town was known for its "quickie" marriages. Furcillo however, was already married and although he offered to take care of the child, June's mother Ethel insisted that she bring up the baby, partly so that June could pursue her dancing career.
Although Donald Furcillo claimed to be Nicholson's father and to have committed bigamy by marrying June, biographer Patrick McGilligan asserted in Jack's Life that Latvian-born Eddie King (originally Edgar A. Kirschfeld), June's manager, may be the father, and other sources have suggested that June Nicholson was unsure of who the father was. Jack's mother was of Irish, English and Dutch descent though he and his family self-identified as Irish.

Nicholson grew up in Neptune City, New Jersey. He was raised in his mother's Roman Catholic religion. "Nick", as he was known to his high school friends, attended nearby Manasquan High School where he was voted "class clown" by the Class of 1954. A theatre and a drama award at the school are named in his honor. In 2004, Nicholson attended his 50th year high school reunion accompanied by his aunt Lorraine.
Jack was brought up believing that his grandparents, John Joseph Nicholson (a department store window dresser in Manasquan, New Jersey) and Ethel May Rhoads (a hairdresser, beautician and amateur artist in Manasquan), were his parents. Nicholson only discovered that his "parents" were actually his grandparents and his sister was in fact his mother in 1974, after a journalist for Time magazine who was doing a feature on Nicholson informed him of the fact.
By this time, both his mother and grandmother had died (in 1963 and 1970, respectively). Nicholson has stated he does not know who his father is, saying "Only Ethel and June knew and they never told anybody" and has chosen not to have a DNA test or to pursue the matter.

A fantastic actor. The movies that he is in that I like are One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Shining, Terms of Endearment, Batman, A Few Good Men, Hoffa, Wolf, Mars Attacks!, As Good as it Gets and The Departed.

Snooki

2011-01-20T01:31:00.000-08:00

Nicole Polizzi born November 23rd 1987 in Santiago Chile. She is know for her TV personality on the American reality reality show called Jersey Shore which started in 2009.
Snooki is Chilean descent (including Italian Chilean ancestry) and was adopted when she was six months old and was raised by Italian American parents. She earned her nickname, "Snooki" in middle school when her friends named her after "Snookie", a (male) character in Save the Last Dance because she was the first of her friends to kiss a boy.
Snooki grew up and attended school in Marlboro, New York where she was a cheerleader. During high school, she suffered from an eating disorder, at one point weighing a mere 80 lbs. The 4 ft. 9 in. (145 cm) she attributes maintaining her position as a cheerleader partly led to her disorder.

Snooki attended community college after graduating from Marlboro High School, where she studied to become a veterinarian.

Brad Pitt

2011-01-17T21:05:00.000-08:00

I figured if I did Angelina Jolie naturally I would have to follow that with Mr. Pitt.
William Bradley Pitt born on December 18th 1963 in Shawnee Oklahoma. His Mother Jane Etta (née Hillhouse) a High School Counselor and his Father William Alvin Pitt was the owner of a truck company. He has a brother and a sister. Doug was born in 1966 and Julie was born 1969. Brad and his family grew up in Springfield Missouri and was raised as a conservative Southern Baptist.
Brad attended Kickapoo High School where he was a member of the golf, tennis and swimming teams. He participated in the school's Key and Forensics clubs, in school debates, and in musicals. Following his graduation from high school, Pitt enrolled in the University of Missouri in 1982, majoring in journalism, with a focus on advertising. As a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, he acted in several fraternity shows. As graduation approached, Pitt saw his friends getting jobs but did not feel ready to settle down himself. He loved films—"a portal into different worlds for me"—and, since films were not made in Missouri, he decided he would go to where they were made. Two weeks before earning his degree, Pitt left the university and moved to Los Angeles where he took acting lessons and worked odd jobs. He was a chauffeur and dressed up as an El Pollo Loco chicken to pay for acting lessons.
Brad has gotten involved with many of his co-stars including Robin Givens,Jill Schoelen,Juliet Lewis(who was sixteen at the time),Gwyneth Paltrow,Jenifer Aniston and of course Angelina Jolie.
My favorites films he has been in are Thelma and Louise,Contact,A River Runs Through It,Kalifornia,True Romance,Interview with the Vampire,Legends of the Fall,Seven,12 Monkeys,Meet Joe Black,Fight Club,Being John Malkovitch,Snatch and Ocean's Eleven.

Betty White

2011-01-11T15:54:00.000-08:00

In 1945, White married Dick Barker, a U.S. Army Air Corps pilot. Unfortunately that marriage was short-lived. In 1947, she married Lane Allen, a Hollywood agent. This marriage ended in divorce in 1953.
On June 14, 1963, White married television host and personality Allen Ludden whom she had met on Ludden's game show Password where she was a celebrity guest in 1961. He proposed to White at least twice before she accepted. The couple appeared together in an episode of The Odd Couple featuring Felix's and Oscar's appearance on Password. Allen appeared as a guest panelist on Match Game with White sitting in the audience. (She was prompted to rip apart one of Ludden's wrong answers on camera during an episode of Match Game '74). The two appeared together on the Match Game panel in 1975.
Allen Ludden died from stomach cancer on June 9, 1981, in Los Angeles. They had no children together. White has not remarried since Ludden's death. When asked about her real-life heroes Betty told Vanity Fair that "Charles Darwin" was her hero.

Christina Aguilera

2011-01-05T09:10:00.000-08:00

Christina Maria Aguilera born December 18th 1980. Another celebrity who got her start on star search. She has an amazing voice, a beautiful body and a great personality to go with it.
She auditioned to be on The Mickey Mouse Club in 1991 even though she did not meet the age requirements and made it. I remember the first thing that got my attention, was her song "Genie in a Bottle" from her self titled album. Then one of my favorite songs by her "Beautiful" from her second album Stripped.

Following her many television appearances Christina experienced resentment and bullying from her peers including an incident in which her peers slashed the tires on her family's car. She later recalls, "doing what I did and maybe being a little smaller, I was definitely picked on and bullied for the attention that I got. It was definitely unwanted attention and there was a lot of unfairness about it."

She has also sung at a couple of Steelers games. She sang the national anthem at the 2006 NFL season opener, dubbed the "Manning Bowl," where the Giants played the Indianapolis Colts. Mara's singing was featured in the film The Californians. She sang the national anthem at the last game played by the Giants at Giants Stadium in December 2009.

I recognize her most from watching the show Nip Tuck, the movie Stone of Destiny and Iron Man 2. Kate has stated that she comes from a "huge" family. Her father was one of 11 children. Kate has 22 aunts and uncles and 40 cousins. She lives in Los Angeles, having resided there on and off since around 2003. Her younger sister, Patricia lived with her temporarily after relocating to Los Angeles in 2007. Kate travels back to New York when her schedule allows and has stated, "If I could live in New York, I would", specifying that she likes "the cold... the rain" and "misses it". she also stated that she likes "not needing plans" in New York. Kate tries to spend the football season in New York when she can. She dated producer and director McG with whom she worked on We Are Marshall. In July 2008, she was linked to Stone of Destiny co-star Charlie Cox.

Mara's first television role was in the drama Law & Order in 1997.

Halle Berry

2010-12-06T01:14:00.000-08:00

Marie Halle Berry born August 16th 1966. Her former flame Gabriel Aubry is now dating Kim Kardashian. I thought that was interesting.

Divorced from baseball player David Justice and musician Eric Benet. Halle dated Gabriel Aubry or 5 years breaking up in April, 2010. Their daughter, Nahla Ariela Aubry, was born on March 16, 2008.

Before Halle became an actress, Berry entered several beauty contests, finishing runner-up in the Miss USA (1986), and coming in 6th place in the Miss World Pageant in 1986. Her first major role was Jungle Fever in 1991.
I think she is very beautiful as long as she doesn't have short hair. For some reason longer hair is sexy to me, and most guys would agree.

Leslie Nielson

2010-11-28T23:20:00.000-08:00

Leslie William Nielson born February 11, 1926 passed away November 28th 2010. He appeared in over 100 films and 1,500 television programs over the span of his career, portraying over 220 characters. One of the greatest dry comedic Actors of our time. Although I do remember seeing him in episodes of The Twilight Zone. He could play the serious role along with the comedy.
In Airplane where he says "Surely you can't be serious?", he responds with a curt, "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley." In several interviews he later reflected on the significance of the comedic line: "I thought it was amusing, but it never occurred to me that it was going to become a trademark. It's such a surprise...the thing comes out, people say, 'What did he say?!'"
The Naked Gun(Series) was great along with Wrongfully Accused. I also liked The Poseidon Adventure, Creepshow and Dracula: Dead and Loving It.
He was married to Monica Boyer,Alisande Ullman,Brooks Oliver and Barbara Earl.
Nielsen had two children from his second marriage, Maura and Thea Nielsen.
Nielsen stated in several interviews that he had a few medical problems such as hearing impairment. He was legally deaf and wore hearing aids most of his life. Because of this impairment, he publicly supported the Better Hearing Institute.Leslie Nielsen was admitted to a Fort Lauderdale, Florida hospital for pneumonia. On November 28, Dr. Doug Nielsen, Nielsen's nephew, announced to the CJOB Radio station that Nielsen had died in his sleep around 5:30 p.m. EST, surrounded by family and friends.
He will be missed...

Justin Timberlake

2010-11-26T14:22:00.000-08:00

Justin Randall Timberlake was born January 31st, 1981. It seems as if all the ladies love this guy. Pop singer,Actor, got his start on Soul Search and in turn went to The New Mickey Mouse Club. Thats where he met JC Chasez. Then he went on to 'N Sync, a popular boy band from the 1990's.
Justin was born in Memphis, Tennessee son of Lynn Harless (née Bomar) and Randall Timberlake. His paternal grandfather, Charles L. Timberlake, was a Baptist minister, and Timberlake was raised Baptist, though now considers himself more "spiritual than religious".

Justin's parents divorced in 1985, and both are remarried. His mother, who now runs an entertainment company called Just-in Time Entertainment, remarried to Paul Harless, a banker, when her son was five. His father, a choir director at a Baptist church, has two children, Jonathan (born c. 1993) and Steven Robert (born August 14, 1998), from his second marriage to Lisa Perry. Justin's half-sister, Laura Katherine, died shortly after birth on May 14, 1997, and is mentioned in his acknowledgments in the album *NSYNC as "My Angel in Heaven." Justin Timberlake grew up in Shelby Forest, a middle class crime-free suburb between Memphis and Millington.
Early in 1999, Justin Timberlake began what eventually became a high-profile celebrity relationship with fellow pop singer Britney Spears, with whom he had worked on the New Mickey Mouse Club. This relationship suddenly ended in March 2002, amidst tabloid press speculation on Britney Spears and her infidelity with choreographer Wade Robson, a mutual friend of both Britney and Justin's. Lynn Harless says as a mother she too was devastated regarding the break-up, but to this day speaks warmly of Spears, "Britney grew up on my living room floor. I still love her to death. They (Justin and Britney) were together 10 or 11 years and had, from day one, instant chemistry between them. She's a sweet girl. I just hate what she's going through now." The breakup influenced the lyrics and theme from Justin. My favorite hit song by him "Cry Me A River", one of the most popular singles from Justified.
Post-Spears, Justin Timberlake has generally refused to discuss his personal life with the media, as a result of which his relationships have been the subject of much speculation in the tabloid and celebrity press. He was involved with singer-actress Stacy Ferguson prior to 2001. He was romantically linked with actress-dancer Jenna Dewan (in mid-2002) and actress-singer Alyssa Milano (between September and October 2002). Justin began dating actress Cameron Diaz soon after they met at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in April 2003. Regular rumors of break-ups reported in the tabloid press were either ignored or occasionally denied. On the December 16, 2006 episode of Saturday Night Live, Cameron Diaz introduced Justin Timberlake as the night's musical guest, and the couple officially split shortly there afterwards. After the tabloid press alleged an affair between Timberlake and Scarlett Johansson, with whom he had shot the video for his single "What Goes Around.../...Comes Around Interlude", Cameron and Justin issued a joint statement on January 11, 2007:

"It has always been our preference not to comment on the status of our relationship, but, out of respect for the time we've spent together, we feel compelled to do so now, in light of recent speculation and the number of inaccurate stories that are being reported by the media. We have, in fact, ended our romantic relationship and have done so mutually and as friends, with continued love and respect for one another."
Later in January 2007 Justin was linked to Jessica Biel when pictures surfaced of the two snowboarding in Park City, Utah during the Sundance Film Festival. On May 12, 2007 romantic pictures of Timberlake and Biel on multiple dates were published. In the August 9–15, 2008 edition of Heat magazine, when Timberlake was asked to describe his perfect woman, he replied "About 5ft.7in.-5ft.8in., nice butt, Midwestern American, kind-of-German last name, green eyes, big pouty lips, fair skin, ahhh....sinewy bod..." However, during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on June 11, 2008 when Jay Leno questioned him about anything related to rumors of engagement and pregnancy, Justin jokingly responded that he "is engaging in a conversation with Leno" and "everybody in general can get pregnant."
Timberlake was given Sexiest Man titles by Teen People and Cosmopolitan magazines. On February 17, 2009, Justin Timberlake was named the "Most Stylish Man in America" by GQ magazine.
Timberlake is also a fan of English Football Club Manchester United.
Of course how could I forget the Janet Jackson Super Bowl exstravaganza. To learn more about this(click here).
Here is my favorite song by Justin Timberlake "Cry Me A River"

Neve Campbell

2010-11-22T17:12:00.000-08:00

Neve Adrianne Campbell born October 3rd, 1973. I thought she was younger than that? Anyways, always gorgeous and extremely jealous of any man who has been with her.
Neve is from Canada and is an actress. The first show I remember seeing her is Party of Five. A televison series in the 1990's about a family who trying to cope after losing their parents in a car accident.
Neve Campbell was born in Guelph, Ontario. Her mother's name Marnie (née Neve), is a yoga instructor and psychologist from Amsterdam. Her father is Gerry Campbell he came from from the East End of Glasgow, Scotland. In Canada taught high school drama classes in Mississauga, Ontario at Westwood Secondary School (now Lincoln M. Alexander Secondary School) then later at Lorne Park Secondary School and now at Erindale Secondary School. Neve's maternal grandparents ran a theatre company in the Netherlands and her paternal grandparents were also performers.
Neve is Roman Catholic, but also identifies as Jewish because of her mother's Sephardic Jewish ancestry, about which she has said: "I am a practicing Catholic, but my lineage is Jewish, so if someone asks me if I'm Jewish, I say yes".

Campbell has three brothers, Christian, Alex, and Damian (aka Damian McDonald). Her parents divorced when she was two years old. She and her brother Christian resided largely with their father (who received custody of the two), with regular periods at their mother's home, until Neve was nine years old. At that time she moved into residence at the National Ballet School of Canada, training there and appearing in performances of The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty. At the age of 15 she performed in The Phantom of the Opera at the Canon Theatre in Toronto.
In 1998 she was in Peoples Magazine as one of the "50 Most Beautiful People"
She was in the kids in the hall,Madtv,The Craft,Scream,Wild Things,The Simpsons as Cassandra in the Episode "Rednecks and Broomsticks"(Special Guest Voice).

Neve married a fellow Canadian and actor Jeff Colt on April 3, 1995. They met at Toronto's Pantages Theatre where he was bartending. They ended up getting a divorce though in May 1998. In 2005, Campbell began dating John Light, an English actor whom she met while filming the movie Investigating Sex. The couple became engaged in December 2005 and have lived together in London for the last 5 years. They waited a couple years and then got married in Malibu, May 2007.

Harrison Ford

2010-11-16T04:27:00.000-08:00

Harrison Ford was born on July 13th, 1942. He's a very talented actor in America. One of my favorites!

He was born at Chicago's Swedish Covenant Hospital. His Mother, Dorothy (née Dora Nidelman), a homemaker and former radio actress. Christopher Ford (born John William Ford), an advertising executive and a former actor.
He has a younger brother, Terence, was born in 1945. Ford's paternal grandparents, John Fitzgerald Ford and Florence Veronica Niehaus, were of Irish Catholic and German descent.
Harrison's maternal grandparents, Harry Nidelman and Anna Lifschutz, were Jewish immigrants from Minsk, Belarus (at that time a part of the Russian Empire). When asked in which religion he was raised, he jokingly responded, "Democrat". He has also said that he feels "Irish as a person, but I feel Jewish as an actor".

That latest Indiana Jones movie was a big let down but I think Hollywood had their dirty hands in that?
Otherwise though Harrison is great in these other movies. Like American Grafitti, Star Wars IV: A New Hope.
Five of his films have been inducted into the National Film Registry.

Crystal Renn

Crystal Renn was born June 18th 1986 in Miami Florida. Who says you have to be skinny and anorexic looking to be a model? Crystal Renn proves that beauty comes in all sizes. She is an American model and an Author.

Crystal started her modeling career in high fashion at the age of 14 after being spotted by a professional scout in her hometown in Mississippi. Crystal was told she would need to lose almost a third of her total body weight if she wanted to become a model. This extreme weight loss eventually triggered a health crisis, causing her to reassess her diet and exercise habits. After gaining 70 pounds (32 kg) and re-emerging as a U.S. size 12, she was re-marketed by her agents as a plus size model. Crystal Renn has authored a book "Hungry" A Young Model's Story of Appetite, Ambition and the Ultimate Embrace of Curves, about her experiences in the fashion industry in relation to her several body type transformations.
On June 30, 2007, Crystal married her longtime boyfriend Gregory Vrecenak at St. Ignatius Loyola Church in Manhattan, New York. Fashion portraits of her wedding were taken by photographer Brian Boulos. In mid 2009 the couple ended their marriage. Crystal currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.

Jessica Biel

2010-10-26T11:29:00.000-07:00

Jessica Claire Biel born March 3rd 1982. I remember seeing her in that show 7th Heaven, although I didn't really like it. I did however think Jessica has always been very attractive. The show 7th Heaven ran 11 seasons, making it the longest running family drama in U.S. television history. I had no idea of how old she was until now. She is younger than I thought? (Don't get me wrong, she doesn't look old. Far from it!)Anyways, Jessica is a model and an actress. She was born is Ely, Minnesota and comes from a German, French, English, and Choctaw ancestry. Her family moved frequently when she was younger living in Texas, Connecticut, and Woodstock, Illinois before finally settling in Boulder, Colorado. While growing up, Biel played soccer and also trained as a gymnast and a snowboarder.

Morgan Freeman

2010-09-26T15:14:00.000-07:00

Morgan Porterfield Freeman Jr. born June 1st 1937.

The rumors lately have been that Morgan is not only involved with his step grand daughter sexually for the last 9 years but may possibly be having a child with her as well. My sister mentioned it about a week ago and I'm not sure if I see what the fuss is all about? Nor do I care. Is it even true? I don't know. Anyways, Morgan is an actor,director and a narrator. Morgan was born in Memphis Tennessee. His mother Mayme Edna (née Revere) and his father is of course Morgan Porterfield Freeman Sr.

My favorite movies with him acting are Unforgiven,Glory,Driving Miss Daisy,Lean On Me,Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,The Shawhank Redemption,Outbreak,Se7en,Chain Reaction,Kiss The Girls,Dreamcatcher, War of the Worlds,Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.
Morgan Freeman is a fantastic actor and has a terrific voice that is both commanding and believable.
Morgan was injured in an automobile accident near Ruleville, Mississippi, on the night of August 3, 2008. The vehicle in which he was traveling, a 1997 Nissan Maxima, left the highway and flipped over several times. He and a female passenger, Demaris Meyer, were rescued from the vehicle using the Jaws of Life. Morgan was taken via medical helicopter to The Regional Medical Center (The Med) hospital in Memphis. Police ruled out alcohol as a factor in the crash. He was coherent following the crash, as he joked to a photographer about taking his picture at the scene. He broke his shoulder, arm and elbow in the crash and had surgery on August 5, 2008. Doctors operated for four hours to repair nerve damage in his shoulder and arm. His publicist announced he was expected to make a full recovery. Meyer, his passenger, has sued him for negligence, claiming that he was drinking the night of the accident. She has denied reports that they were romantically involved and I could care less.

Alyssa Milano

2010-09-14T17:26:00.000-07:00

Alyssa Jayne Milano born December 19th 1972. American actress and former singer. I remember her mostly from the sitcom "Who's the Boss" as Samantha Micelli but I didn't think she would grow up to be smoking Hot! "Who's the Boss was not the start of her career though. She started acting on Broadway in the play "Annie".
Alyssa's mother was Lin, a fashion designer and talent manager and her father was Thomas M. Milano, a film music editor and boating enthusiast. Both of her parents were of Italian-American backround. Alyssa was born in Brooklyn and grew up in Staten Island, and was raised Roman Catholic. She has a younger brother, Cory who was born in 1982. He is also an actor. In a 2003 interview, Alyssa Milano recalled having had a good childhood, having grown up in a "loving, true family."
Milano has dyslexia. In an interview in 2004, Milano explained how she deals with the disorder: "I've stumbled over words while reading from teleprompters. Sir John Gielgud, whom I worked with on The Canterville Ghost years ago, gave me great advice. When I asked how he memorized his monologues, he said, 'I write them down.' I use that method to this day. It not only familiarizes me with the words, it makes them my own."

Milano is a fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers and writes a regular baseball blog on the Major League Baseball's website. In 2007, Milano launched her signature "Touch" line of team apparel for female baseball fans, selling it through her blog and Major League Baseball's website. It also became available in 2009 through a boutique store located in Citi Field, the home of the New York Mets.

She has an interest in the Los Angeles Kings, a National Hockey League team and is involved with a related clothing line. In 2008, she expanded that to NFL football, as a New York Giants fan. Since Milano is in the same hometown as NFL Network's Rich Eisen (Staten Island), she revealed some of her family's connections with the New York Giants.

Alyssa has eight tattoos on her body: one on each wrist and ankle, shoulder, neck, hip, and lower back. She is a Vegetarian and appears in numerous PETA advertising campaigns for vegetarianism. Outside of acting, her hobbies include photography, humanitarian work, and spending time with her three dogs and eight horses. Alyssa has commented on her love for animals, and in a 2009 interview discussed one of her dogs, a German Shepherd called Pinto, who had died at the age of 14; he had worked with the LAPD dogs and Alyssa had owned him for 10 years.

Milano dated actor Corey Haim from 1987 to 1990. She was engaged to Scott Wolf in 1993. She was married to singer–songwriter Cinjun Tate of Remy Zero in 1999; they were divorced later that year. She dated Charmed co-star Brian Krause for a while during the third and fourth season of the show. She briefly dated Justin Timberlake in 2002. After one year of dating, she and CAA agent David Bugliari were engaged December 18, 2008. Milano and Bugliari married on August 15, 2009 in New Jersey, at the home of Bugliari's family.

Hayden Panettiere

2010-09-11T18:26:00.000-07:00

The ever so beautiful Hayden Leslie Panettiere born August 21th 1989. She is both an actress and a singer. Better known for her acting. The first role I remember her in was "Remember The Titans" but apparently she was in other things before that including two soap operas, One Life To Live and Guiding Light. Her big break was the hit show Heroes on NBC. Although I think if it wasn't that it would have been something else she would have stared in.
Hayden was born and raised in Palisades Rockland Country New York. Her mother Lesley R. Vogel was an actress in Soap operas and her father was an Fire Department Lieutenant.
Her last name Panettiere means "baker" in Italian. Which Hayden and her brother Jansen are Italian descent. Her brother Jansen acts as well.
Panettiere attended South Orangetown Middle School in New York but had home schooling from then on until she received her diploma. Putting off her education for her acting career at the moment.
Panettiere began modeling when she was four months old! She first appeared in commercials at 11 months, beginning with an advertisement for Playskool.

She has appeared in over a dozen full-length feature films, several made-for-TV movies. Hayden was the voice for Dot in the animated tale A Bug's Life. She also is the voice behind Kairi in the Kingdom Hearts series of video games for the PlayStation 2. She made an appearance in Ally McBeal acting as her daughter. Hayden was nominated for a Grammy in 1999 for A Bug's Life Read-Along in 2000. In 2004 she recorded a song entitled "My Hero Is You" with a video for the Disney Channel film she starred in Tiger Cruise. The next year she recorded a song entitled "I Fly" for the Disney film Ice Princess in which she also co-starred. She recorded a song for the Hollywood Records compilation Girl Next in 2006 and another song entitled "Go to Girl" for Girl Next 2 (2007). Also in 2007, She also recorded a cover for "Cruella De Vil" for DisneyMania 5, "Try" for the Bridge to Terabithia soundtrack and a ballad called "I Still Believe" for Cinderella III: A Twist in Time. Hayden's first single, "Wake Up Call," was digitally released on August 5, 2008. A clothing brand named Candies announced that it was premiering an ad campaign for the single in late July. Similarly, Candie's would also provide additional promotion for the single with a television advertisement and a music video.

In late 2006 Neutrogena made her the cover girl for their new worldwide ad campaign following in the footsteps of actresses of Kristin Kreuk, Josie Bissett,Jennifer Love Hewitt,Mandy Moore,Mischa Barton,Gabrielle Union and Jennifer Freeman.

In September 2007, Panettiere appeared in a Heroes-themed Got Milk? ad.

In February 2008 Kohl's announced that Hayden would be their next Candie's spokesperson. She would then be following the likes of Stacey Ferguson better known as "Fergie",Hilary Duff and Kelly Clarkson.
In 2006, Panettiere began dating Stephen Colletti, former Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, star. The couple broke up in September 2007. In December 2007, it was widely reported that she was dating her Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia though Panettiere denied these reports in an interview with GQ. These reports continued through the early part of 2008 and several sources had reported that she asked Ventimiglia to move in with her. In April 2008, during an interview on the BBC's The Cris Moyle Show to promote the second season of Heroes, Ventimiglia confirmed that he was dating Panettiere. They ended their relationship in February 2009.
She is currently dating heavyweight boxer Wladimir Klitschko. She was ringside for his knockout victory over Samuel Peter on September 11th, 2010. She has a tattoo of the Italian words Vivere senza rimipianti running down the side of her left flank. The word rimpianti is misspelled in what otherwise would mean "To Live Without Regrets".

Bill Murray

2010-08-03T22:35:00.000-07:00

William James Murray born on September 21st in 1950. One of my favorite actors of all time. He is in so many good movies.

A few of my personal favorite movies he acted in are Ghostbusters,Groundhog Day,Where The Buffalo Roam, The part he plays in Little Shop Of Horrors (see bottom of post) is hilarious! Scrooged,What About Bob,Kingpin. He plays a quick role in a movie I just saw not too long ago called Zombieland.

Sandra Bullock

2010-07-19T22:48:00.000-07:00

Sandra Annette Bullock born July 26, 1964 in Arlington Virginia. Her Mothers name was Helga D. Meyer who was a German opera singer and voice teacher passed away in the year 2000. Her father John W. Bullock a voice coach and executive from Alabama. Sandras maternal grandfather was a rocket scientist from Nuremburg, Germany. Sandra lived in Nuremberg until age twelve, where she sang in the opera's children's choir at the Staatstheater Nürnberg. She frequently traveled with her mother on her opera tours, and lived in Germany and other parts of Europe for much of her childhood. She is fluent in German.
Sandra studied ballet and vocal arts as a child, taking small parts in her mother's opera productions. Bullock has a sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado.
Bullock attended Washington-Lee High School where she was a cheerleader, participated in high school theater productions, and even dated a football player.

She graduated in 1982 and enrolled in East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. She left East Carolina during her senior year in the spring of 1986, only three credits short of graduating, to pursue an acting career. She moved to Manhattan to pursue auditions and supported herself with a variety of odd jobs (bartender, cocktail waitress and coat checker. Sandra later completed her coursework at East Carolina University.
On December 20, 2000, Bullock survived the crash of a chartered business jet at Jackson Hole Airport. The aircraft hit a snowbank instead of the runway, resulting in both the nose gear and nose cone being ripped off, the right wing partially separating from the aircraft, and the left wing being bent back. On April 18, 2008, while Bullock was in Massachusetts shooting the film The Proposal, she and her husband were in an SUV that was hit head-on (driver's side offset) at moderate speed by a drunken driver. Vehicle damage was not catastrophic and amazingly there were no injuries.
In October 2004, Bullock won a multimillion-dollar judgment against Benny Daneshjou, the builder of her Lake Austin, Texas home; the jury ruled the house was uninhabitable. It has since been torn down and rebuilt. Bullock also owns a house on Tybee Island, which is a few miles from Savannah, Georgia. In 2009, she purchased a home in the historic Garden District neighborhood of New Orleans. On April 22, 2007, Marcia Diana Valentine was found lying outside James's and Bullock's Southern California home in Orange County. When James confronted the woman, she ran to her 2004 silver Mercedes, got behind the wheel, and tried to run over James. The woman is said to be an obsessed fan of Sandra Bullock.
The woman was charged with one felony count each of aggravated assault and stalking, while Bullock obtained a restraining order to bar Valentine from "contacting or coming near her home, family or work for three years." Valentine pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated assault and stalking. Valentine was subsequently convicted of stalking and was sentenced to three years of probation. Recently she got another restraining order from Thomas James Weldon who was but this time the restraining order was for her son Louis, since her previous order expired.
My favorite movies she was in would have to be Speed,She was smoking hot in Demolition Man,While You Were Sleeping,The Net,Hope Floats,Murder By Numbers,Two Weeks Notice,Premonition and she was also smoking hot in The Proposal. I just saw The blind Side the other night and it was better than I thought it would be.

Sean Connery

2010-07-08T16:43:00.000-07:00

Sir Thomas Sean Connery born August 25th 1930 in Fountainbridge, Edinburg. He was a milkman for his first job, then he joined the Royal Navy but was discharged because of having an ulcer but later returned to the co-op. After that he was a lorry driver, a laborer, an artist's model for The Edinburg College of Art and a coffin polisher. Not mention one of the greatest actors to ever live. While he was in the Navy he got 2 tattoo's one simply saying "Mum and Dad", the other saying "Scotland Forever".

Connery claims he was called Sean, his middle name, long before becoming an actor, explaining that when he was young he had an Irish friend named Séamus and that those who knew them both had decided to call Connery by his middle name whenever both were present.

Sean Connery was best known for portraying the character James Bond, starring in seven Bond films between 1962 and 1983.
Connery has been polled as the, "Greatest Living Scot" and was knighted in July 2000. In 1989, he was proclaimed, the Sexiest Man Alive, by People Magazine and in 1999, at age 69, he was voted, Sexiest Man of the Century!
He has won an Academy Award, Two BAFTA Awards and Three Golden Globes throughout his career. He has been married twice first to Diane Cilento from 1962 to 1973 and then to Micheline Roquebrune from 1975 to present day.
While making the Bond films, Connery also starred in other acclaimed films such as Alfred Hitchcock's Marine (1964) and Murder on the Orient Express (1974). Then The Man Who Would Be King and The Wind and the Lion (1975). Then A Bridge Too Far (1977). In 1981, Sean Connery appeared in the film Time Bandits as Agamemnon. The casting choice derives from a joke Michael Palin included in the script, in which he describes the character as being "Sean Connery — or someone of equal but cheaper stature". When shown the script, Connery was happy to play the supporting role.
Diane Cilento in her 2006 autobiography My Nine Lives, as well as in subsequent interviews on radio and in print, Diane claimed that Connery had beaten her on several occasions. Connery vehemently denied the accusations. In a December 1987 interview with Barbara Walters, he stated that it would be acceptable for a man to hit a woman with an open hand, if she continues to provoke the man after he concedes an argument to her. Connery had made similar remarks in a November 1965 interview with Playboy magazine on the set of Thunderball: "I don't think there is anything particularly wrong about hitting a woman ... If a woman is a bitch, or hysterical, or bloody-minded continually, then I'd do it." In 1993, Vanity Fair quoted him saying there are confrontational women who "want a smack".
In 1993, news that Connery was undergoing radiation treatment for an undisclosed throat ailment sparked media reports that the actor was suffering from throat cancer following years of heavy smoking, and he was falsely declared dead by the Japanese and South African news agencies. Connery immediately appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman to deny all of this. In a February 1995 interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said that the radiation treatment was to remove nodules from his vocal cords. His father, a heavy smoker, died from throat cancer in 1972. In 2003, he had surgery to remove cataracts from both eyes. On 12 March 2006, he announced he was recovering from surgery to remove a kidney tumor in January. In 2008, he chipped a bone in his shoulder after falling while playing golf. In October 2009, he told Wine Spectator magazine that he has been diagnosed with a heart condition.
My favorite movies would have to be Highlander,The Untouchables,Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade,The Hunt For Red October,Medicine Man,Rising Sun,First Knight and The Rock.
Here's a video from when he was on Barbara Walters talking about a bitch slap.(so to speak)

SNL Sean Connery

Jenna von Oÿ

2010-07-03T00:45:00.000-07:00

Born on May 2nd 1977 in Stamford Connecticut. Parents are Gloria and Frank von Oÿ. I remember her from the show Blossom. But then I saw her on the show The Parkers and it seems as though she's all grown up.

She began her acting career as a child in regional stage productions and commercials.

Jenna made her television acting debut in 1986 appearing on an episode of ABC Weekend Special, then she appeared on shows like Tales from the Darkside and Kate & Allie acting out guest roles. She also co-starred in the sitcom Lenny although the show didn't last long. In 1989 she appeared in the feature film Born on the Fourth of July opposite Tom Cruise. Then there was Blossom from 1991 to 1995 portraying the role of Six LeMeure. I didn't think she was going to grow up and be extremely hot! She also is the voice of Stacey in A Goofy Movie in 1995. Then she attended the University of Southern Califonia for a couple years, but then she dropped out and returned to acting. From 1999 to 2004 she began to play the role of Stevie van Lowe in the Parkers. During that time Jenna played the voice of Trinket St. Blaire in the animated series Pepper Ann. In June 2000, Jenna recorded a demo compact disc (which honestly I have not heard yet) in an attempt to launch a recording career in country music. Her debut album, Breathing Room, was released on September 18, 2007.

In 2005 she appeared in Marsha Potter Gets a Life. Then she guest stared in a episode of Cold Case and parodied Lauren Graham's character of Lorelei Gilmore in the Family Guy episode Perfect Castaway. She was also the voice of Gracie in the feature Dr. Dolittle 3 which went straight to DVD.

2010-06-29T19:13:00.000-07:00

Jeffery Lynn Goldblum is well know for his acting career. He was born on October 22nd 1952 in a Pittsburgh suburb, West Homestead, Pennsylvania. His father Harold L. Goldblum was a medical doctor and his mother Shirley S. née Temeles who was a radio broadcaster who later ran a kitchen equipment and appliances sales firm.
He has a sister Pamela and an older brother, Lee. He had another older brother Rick but he passed away at age 23. Jeff moved to New York City at the age of 17 in hopes of becoming an actor. His parents were always interested in show business. Goldblum worked on the stage and studied acting at the renowned Neighborhood Playhouse under the guidance of acting coach Sanford Meisner. He made his Broadway debut in the Tony Award-winning musical Two Gentlemen of Verona. He is also an accomplished jazz pianist and declared that if he did not act, he would have become a professional musician. He made his film debut as a thug in the 1974 Charles Bronson film Death Wish as Freak #1 and he briefly appeared as a protester in the TV movie Columbo A Case of Immunity (1975).

Later in his career, as "Lacey Party Guest" in Annie Hall(1977), Goldblum is seen saying into the telephone at a Hollywood party, "I forgot my mantra." Goldblum has had leading roles in films such as The Fly(1986), Independence Day, The Lost World(1997), Earth Girls Are Easy, The Tall Guy and Vibes(1988).

According to press materials, "The Fire Dept is made up of established and emerging writers, directors, actors and designers who have come together to create and produce work that cannot be replicated inside a television box or on a movie screen...The work of The Fire Dept combines the rigor and structure of great narrative storytelling with the vitality of formal experimentation to immerse audiences in a total experience that leaves them awake, alive and transformed." The company will devote energy into developing new live theater works as well as interpreting old favorites. Jeff replaced Chris Noth as a Senior Detective on Law & Orders Criminal Intent. In the series, Goldblum plays the role of Detective Zach Nichols.

Janet Jackson

2010-06-27T17:47:00.000-07:00

My favorite song by Janet Jackson "Together Again"

4 minutes 19 seconds
Janet Damita Jo Jackson born May 16th, 1966 in Gary Indiana. Raised in Encino Los Angeles. Janet is well known for her music career and has acted in TV series and a few movies as well.

She first performed on stage with the Jacksons at the age of only 7. Later she was signed for a recording contract at the age of 16 with A&M in 1982, releasing her self-titled debut album the same year. She faced criticism for her limited vocal range, and for being yet another member of the Jackson family to become a recording artist. In my opinion the most talented Jackson in the family. In addition to receiving recognition for the innovation in her albums, choreography, music videos, and prominence on MTV Jackson was acknowledged as a role model for her socially conscious lyrics. I saw her concert back in the year 2000 and she put on a fantastic show.
In 1991, she signed the first of two record-breaking, multi-million dollar recording contracts with Virgin Records, which established her as one of the highest paid artists in the music industry.
Having sold over 100 million records worldwide, Jackson is ranked as one of the best selling artists in the history of contemporary music. The Recording Industry Association of America(RIAA) lists her as the 11th best selling female artist in the United States, with 26 million certified albums.Her longevity, records and achievements reflect her influence in shaping and redefining the scope of popular music. She has been cited as an inspiration among numerous performers.
Believe it or not Janet initially was apprehensive about starting a music career, she agreed to participate in recording sessions with her family. The first of these, a duet with her brother Randy titled "Love Song for Kids", took place in 1978.
Following the release of Dream Street, Jackson decided to separate her business affairs from her family. She later commented, "I just wanted to get out of the house, get out from under my father, which was one of the most difficult things that I had to do, telling him that I didn't want to work with him again."

After releasing her fourth album Rhythm Nation executives at A&M wanted an album similar to Control, she was determined to imbue her music with a socially conscious message that complimented her songs about love and relationships She stated, "I'm not naive—I know an album or a song can't change the world. I just want my music and my dance to catch the audience's attention, and to hold it long enough for them to listen to the lyrics and what we're saying."

Producer Jimmy Jam told The Boston Globe, "We would always have a TV turned on, usually to CNN... And I think the social slant of songs like Rhythm Nation, State of the World and The Knowledge came from that."Rolling Stone magazine's Vince Aletti observed Jackson shifted from "personal freedom to more universal concerns—injustice, illiteracy, crime, drugs—without missing a beat." Peaking at number one on the Billboard 200, the album was later certified six times platinum and eventually sold over fourteen million copies worldwide! The release became the only album in history to produce number one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in three separate calendar years "Miss You Much" in 1989, "Escapade" and Black Cat" in 1990 and Love Will Never Do (Without You)" in 1991. It's the only album in the history of the Hot 100 to have seven top 5 hit singles.
Janet Jackson was dubbed a reigning "Princess of Pop" by the Chicago Tribune.
Acting in films include Poetic Justice(1993), Nutty Professor II: The Klumps(2000),Why Did I Get Married?(2007), Why Did I Get Married Too? (2010) and For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf(2011). Her shows include The Jacksons(1976-1977),Good Times(1977-1979),A New Kind of Family(1979-1980),Diff'rent Strokes(1980-1984) and Fame (1984-1985).

And of course how can I forget the classic Super Bowl XXXVIII incident. February 1, 2004 in Houston Texas MTV promised a big surprise during the half time show and sure enough Justin Timberlake exposed Janets boob for all to see. The incident, sometimes referred to as Nipplegate or Tittygate was widely discussed. Along with the rest of the halftime show, it led to an immediate crackdown and widespread debate on perceived indecency in broadcasting and resulted in a record $550,000 fine levied by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) against CBS, as well as an increase of the FCC fine per indecency violation from $27,500 to $325,000. Additionally, some commentators saw the halftime show as a sign of decreasing morality in the national culture in which case I agree. I'm not sure what good fining CBS did. I would have liked to receive some of that cash. What did the FCC do with the money? Cover their eyes?

Clint Eastwood

2010-06-23T07:00:00.000-07:00

Clinton Eastwood was born May 31st 1930. He is an actor, director, producer, and a composer.

Clint became the oldest man to reach #1 at the box office, and the longest running movie star in history. I think my favorite film he made and acted in is Unforgiven.
Clint was a nonpartisan mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea,California from 1986–1988, tending to support small business interests on the one hand and environmental protection as well.
Clint Eastwood was born in San Fransisco, California to Clinton Eastwood (1906–1970), a steelworker and migrant worker, and Margaret Ruth (née Runner; 1909–2006), a factory worker. He was a large baby (11 pounds and 6 ounces; 5.62 kg) and was named "Samson" by the nurses in the hospital. Eastwood is of English, Scottish,Dutch and Irish ancestry, and was raised in a middle class Protestant home. His family relocated often, as his father worked at different jobs along the West Coast, including at a pulp mill.The family settled in , California, where Eastwood attended Piedmont Junior and Senior High School. Later he transferred to Oakland Technical High School, where the drama teachers encouraged him to enroll in school plays, but he was not interested. He held a series of jobs as his family moved to different areas, including paper carrier, grocery clerk, forest firefighter, and golf caddy.After graduating from high school in 1949, Eastwood intended to enter Seattle University and majored in music theory. However, in 1950 he was drafted into the U.S Army during the Korean War. He was stationed at Fort Ord where his certificate as a lifeguard got him appointed as a life-saving and swimming instructor.

He safeguarded film and television actors who had joined the Army through the Special Services program, including John Saxon, David Janssen and Martin Milner. In 1951, while on leave, Eastwood rode in a Douglas AD bomber that ran out of gas and crashed in the ocean near Point Reyes. After escaping from the sinking fuselage, he and the pilot swam three miles to the shore.
He later moved to Los Angeles and began a romance with Maggie Johnson, a college student. During this time he managed an apartment house in Beverly Hills by day (into which he moved) and worked at a Signal Oil gas station by night. He enrolled at Los Angeles and soon after became engaged to Maggie. They were married shortly before Christmas in 1953 in South Pasadena and honeymooned in Carmel.

Eastwood, a life-long non-smoker, has been conscious of his health and fitness since he was a teenager, and has kept in excellent physical shape and practiced healthy eating ever since. As he made a name for himself during the production of Rawhide, Eastwood would frequently feature in magazines and journals, which often documented his healthy lifestyle. In the August 1959 edition of TV Guide, for example, Eastwood was photographed doing push-ups and gave tips on fitness and nutrition, telling people to eat plenty of fruit, raw vegetables and vitamins and to avoid sugar-loaded beverages and excess alcohol drinking and overloading on carbohydrates.

Gary Coleman Passes Away

2010-05-28T16:46:00.000-07:00

On this date May 28, 2010 Gary Coleman passed quickly and peacefully with his wife and family by his side when they removed him from life support this morning. Two days prior to this on May 26, 2010 it is said that Coleman fell and hit his head and was immediately rushed to the hospital in Provo,Utah at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. He aged to be 42 years old. Gary Coleman was born in February 8, 1968.
He was well known for his famous catchphrase in the Diff'rent Strokes show "What'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" At the height of his fame on Diff'rent Strokes, he earned as much as $100,000 per episode as Arnold Jackson. He acted small roles in other sitcoms as well like The Jeffersons and Good Times.

He was described in the 1980's as "one of television's most promising stars." Coleman suffered a intercranial hemorrhage and slipped into a coma. Life support was terminated when it became clear that he was not going to recover.
Coleman was born in Zion Illinois. He was adopted by Edmonia Sue, a nurse practitioner, and W.G. Coleman, a fork-lift operator. Gary Coleman suffered from a congenital kidney disease caused by focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (an autoimmune destruction and alteration of the kidney), which halted his growth at an early age, leading to a small stature (4 ft 8 in; 1.42 m) and his childlike appearance. He underwent twokidney transplants over the years, one in 1973 and one in 1984, and required daily dialysis.
Coleman was a candidate for governor in the 2003 Califonia recall election. This campaign was sponsored by the free newsweekly East bay Express as a satirical comment on the recall. After Arnold Schwarzenegger announced his candidacy, Coleman stated that he would be voting for Schwarzenegger. Coleman placed 8th out of 135 canadates, receiving an impressive 14,242 votes.
Coleman went out and secretly wed his girlfriend after knowing her for five months, Shannon Price, 22, on August 28, 2007^.They met on the set of the 2006 comedy film Church Ball. On May 1 and 2, 2008, Coleman and his wife appeared on the show Divorce Court to air their differences in front of Judge Lynn Toler. Unlike regular Divorce Court participants, they appeared on the show with the intent to save their marriage rather than separate.
Coleman suffered a seizure on the set of The Insider on February 26, 2010. Dr.Drew Pinsky, who was with Coleman at the time, assisted him until paramedics arrived.

Rest In Peace Gary, you will be missed...
