Laurence Fishburne

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
Aguilera was born in Staten Island, New York. Her Father Fausto Wagner Xavier Aguilera, a sergeant in the US Army at the time, and her Mother Shelly Loraine (née Fidler), a teacher of Spanish. Christina's father was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador and her mother is of German, Irish, Welsh, and Dutch ancestry.

As a child, Christina aspired to be a singer. She was known locally as "the little girl with the big voice", singing in local talent shows and competitions.
She attended Marshall Middle School near Wexford and North Allegheny Intermediate High School until she was later home schooled.
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."
"Beautiful"
