Zooey Deschanel


Zooey Claire Deschanel born January 17th 1980 in Los Angeles. She has incredibly blue eyes, truly adorable. Zooey is an actress, musician, and singer/songwriter. Her parents Caleb Dechanel a cinematographer/director and Mary Jo Deschanel (née Weir). Zooey is French (from her paternal grandfather) and Irish descent. 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.

Mayra Verónica

Mayra Verónica Aruca Rodriguez born on August 20th 1980 in Havana Cuba.  What I wouldn't do to get with Mayra.  I tell ya.  She is beautiful!  Her father was a member Cuba’s big band, Los Dada. 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 grew up with little money and food was sometimes scarce.
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!

 The ever beautiful Beyoncé Giselle Knowles born September 4th 1981 in Houston, Texas. Her father Mathew Knowles born an African American and is a professional record manager, and mother Tina Knowles (née Beyincé) is Creole, Native American and French. Tina, a costume designer and hair stylist. Beyoncé has a younger sister named Solange Knowles who is a singer songwriter and actress.
Beyoncé is married to Jay-Z since April 4th in 2008. They got married in New York. They began dating in 2002. Before the two were married, Beyoncé and Jay-Z were listed as the Most Powerful Couple by Time magazine's most influential people of 2006.  My favorite song by her just happens to be "Crazy in Love" featuring Jay-Z. Another song "Baby Boy" from the album Dangerously in Love which debuted in 2003.  She was the lead singer for Destiny's Child in the 90's but they finally broke apart in 2005.
Beyoncé was schooled at St. Mary's Elementary School in Texas, where she enrolled in dance classes, such as ballet and jazz.  Her talent in singing was discovered when her dance instructor began humming a song and she finished it, hitting the high-pitched notes.  Knowles' interest in music and performing began after participating in a school talent show. She sang John Lennon's song "Imagine" and won the competition.

At age seven, Knowles started gaining attention from the press, having been mentioned in the Houston Chronicle as a nominee for the local performing arts award The Sammy.  In the fall of 1990, Knowles enrolled in Parker Elementary School, a music magnet school in Houston, where she would perform on-stage with the school's choir.  She also attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Houston.  Later she went to Alief High School located in the Houston suburban municipality Alief.  Knowles was a soloist in the choir of her church, in St. John's United Methodist Church..  She only lasted in the choir for their Church for two years.

Justin Bieber


Justin Drew Bieber born on March 1st 1994 in London Ontario. Raised in Stratford, Ontario. Justin is a Canadian pop,R&B singer/songwriter and actor.
Justin's mother, Patricia Lynn "Pattie" Mallette, was 18 years old when she became pregnant with her son. Mallette, who worked a series of low-paying office jobs, raised Bieber as a single mother in low-income housing. Justin has maintained contact with his father, Jeremy Jack Bieber, who married another woman and had two children. His paternal great-grandfather was a German immigrant to Canada. His mother's ancestry is French Canadian.
Justin has been nominated and awarded numerous accolades over the past few years, winning Artist of the Year at the 2010 American Music Awards.
During his childhood, Justin was interested in hockey,soccer and chess. He often kept his musical aspirations to himself. As he grew up, Justin taught himself to play the piano, drums, guitar, and trumpet. Early in 2007 when he was twelve Justin sang Ne-Yo's "So Sick" for a local singing competition in Stratford and placed second. Mallette posted a video of the performance on You Tube for their family and friends to see. She continued to upload videos of Bieber singing covers of various R&B songs, and Bieber's popularity on the site grew. The longer hairstyle formerly worn by Justin and its popularity with teenage girls proved to be cultural phenomenon, becoming one of the most copied hairstyles among teenage boys. Justin's hairstyle has also proved popular with young lesbians. He ended up changing his hairstyle in February 2011 and a lock of Justin Bieber's hair has been sold for $40,668 (£25,024) in a charity sale on Ebay with 98 bids in total.

Lucy Lawless

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!

Betty White

Betty Marion White born on January 17th 1922 in Oak Park, Illinois. I know her mostly from the Golden Girls show. She was also on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Hot in Cleveland.
Her Mother Tess Curtis (née Cachikis) a homemaker she was of Greek, English, and Welsh descent and her Father Horace Lawrence White, a traveling salesman and electrical engineer. He was of Danish and English.
Betty attended Horace Mann School in Beverly Hills, California and Beverly Hills High School.
Betty's career was put on hold when World War II broke out. At the time she was modeling and acting at the Bliss Hayden Little Theatre. During the 1940's she worked in Radio on the shows Blondie, The Great Gildersleeve and This Is Your FBI.
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.
Betty White has won seven Emmy awards including Funniest Female in 1987 and the Lifetime Achievement Award in 1990. In all she received 20 Emmy nominations.
She was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 1995 and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6747 Hollywood Boulevard next to the star of her late husband Allen Ludden.  Betty has also released several books over the span of her career including Pet-Love: How Pets Take Care if US, Betty White in Person, The Leading Lady: Dinah's Story, Here We Go Again: My Life In Television.  In August 2010, she entered a deal with G.P. Putnam Sons to produce two more books, the first of which is scheduled for release in 2011 called If You Ask Me (And of Course You Won't).  So keep an eye out for those as well.

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"

Justin Timberlake

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"

Alyssa Milano

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.
