In 2000, Christina Milian made her first official musical appearance on Ja Rule’s second studio album Rule 3:36, performing guest vocals on his song “Between Me and You”. Released as the album’s lead single in 2001, the track managed to peak at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100, building Milian’s reputation as a singer.

Christina Milian continues, “When I go home, I still have to clean my room, I still have to do the dishes. We have somebody come every now and then to do that stuff, but my mom still makes me clean before she comes.”

Keira Knightley appeared in the print ad for the Chanel fragrance Coco Mademoiselle. The ad features her naked and covering her chest with a bowler hat. Her modest cleavage was digitally enhanced in the ad.

“Those things certainly weren’t mine. I was like, ‘OK, fine. I honestly don’t give a shit.’ I don’t have any tits, so I can’t show cleavage.”

In May 2007, Keira revealed she was hurt by recent allegations that her thin frame was promoting anorexia and she was considering quitting acting as a result.

“People said to me, ‘How does it feel to be called anorexic?’ I had no idea that I was. I’m not saying there aren’t people in the film industry that suffer from it [anorexia], but I’m quite sure I don’t have it.”

“At parties, I stand on my own, grinning aimlessly. I can never think of a thing to say. I wish I was Sienna Miller. I watch that girl and she is just fabulous. She talks to everyone and laughs and smiles.”

Keira did all of her own stunts in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. She was thrilled that she actually got to sword fight in this one. In the first one she begged for a sword fight, but they did not let her have one.

Amy Smart’s parents’ names are John Smart who was a salesman and Judy Carrington who worked at the Jean Paul Getty museum. A friend to the environment, Amy has worked with the Heal The Bay organization, the Environmental Media Association, and the Humane Society.

Amy Smart reached her widest audience with a co-starring role opposite James Van Der Beek in Varsity Blues (1999) as a girl who longs for life beyond her small town’s high school football-obsessed culture but who, as sister of the injured star quarterback and girlfriend of his idealistic replacement, is tied to it.

Smart continued her successful career with a bang. Smart appeared in two hit films back to back – The Butterfly Effect and Starsky and Hutch.

When asked about her funniest, most dramatic and sexiest roles, Amy Smart replies… “The most dramatic would definitely be The Butterfly Effect.”

“The funniest, I would say, is my character in Rat Race; more specifically, when I’m flying the helicopter.”

“The sexiest, I would have to say Smith! Road Trip may have been ‘sexy’ [in a collegiate way], but Smith to me is more womanly sexy. Annie really owns her sexuality — and she’s not scared to use it to get something.”

Angelina has many tattoos including: the letter “H” on the inside of her left wrist (in honor of her brother, James Haven), “A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages” on her left forearm (a Tennessee Williams quote), the Japanese sign for death, two American Indian symbols, a dragon and a large black cross. She also collects knives and likes mortuary science.

Angelina is of Czech, English, and Native American heritage and has measurements of 36C-28-36. Her favorite Disney character is Dumbo the flying elephant, and cried when she learned he was able to fly.

Angelina has been in the news as much for her humanitarian efforts in Africa, as for her relationship with Brad Pitt and their adopted children.

Charlize Theron grew up on a small farm outside Benoni, South Africaa and was an only child. She got an education as a ballet dancer and has danced both the “Swan Lake” and the “Nutcracker Suite”.

At the age of 15, Charlize Theron witnessed the death of her father, Charles Theron. He was an abusive alcoholic and her mother, Gerda Theron, shot him in self defense when he attacked her. No charges were pressed. At the age of 18, her mother made her go to Los Angeles to try to begin a career in the movie industry.

Charlize Theron is the first South African to win an Oscar for Best Actress. This captivating former model has carved out a very impressive career, by playing some really ugly and bizarre characters. Theron continued her deglamorized cinema streak, as a sexually harassed miner in the movie North Country, which earned Charlize Golden Globe and Oscar nods in 2006.

On the paparazzi, “They try to beat you down so you give in but I’ll never do that. If I have to call as many restraining orders or dump as many water bottles on cameras, that’s what I’ll do.”

Ana Beatriz Barros was discovered by the Director of Elite Model Management who was vacationing in Brazil. In 1998 she won the Brazilian Elite Look of the year and was placed second at the International Elite Look of the Year. Then she was given an offer by Guess? for which she is well known.

If she were not a model, Ana would have liked to be a veterinarian. She has a tattoo on her middle lower back as well as on her ankle.

“Americans are shy about the body. I have to remember that when I go there. I hope people don’t get tired of looking at me.”

When Megan Fox was asked about the scrutiny of today’s media and pervasive paparazzi, “Where I am right now with my career, I don’t feel that, but I’m sure girls like Lindsay do. I’m actually kind of glad that I’m not under that kind of scrutiny, because the tabloids can give you the feeling of being so exposed to people whom you don’t even know. So right now where I am, I’m fine. I’m out of all of that. I still have my private life and no one really bothers me or knows who I am!”

On landing her first big film role in Michael Bay’s “Transformers”,”I don’t think my friends and family – especially my family – really knew what “Transformers” is. They didn’t know what it was going to be about or how big it was going to be. They recognised the name Michael Bay and they definitely recognised Steven Spielberg, so there was excitement there. But my mum is incredibly proud of me.”

“Yes, I’d be crazy to turn down a sequel. I’m proud of this movie. This is my first movie. What do I have to complain about? Nothing!”

While living with her parents, Megan Fox was not allowed to date anyone. She only did it after she moved out.

She has five tattoos. Megan’s tattoos include a poem on her ribcage and a symbol for strength on her neck, and her boyfriend Brian’s name tattooed next to her pie.

Halle first came into the spotlight at 17 years old when she won the Miss Teen All-American Pageant, representing the state of Ohio in 1985 and a year later in 1986 when she was the first runner-up in the Miss USA Pageant.

Halle Berry lost some hearing in one of her ears due to a physical encounter with a boyfriend in the early 1990s.

In March 2007, Halle admitted she had attempted suicide after the end of her relationship with David Justice, a baseball player with the Atlanta Braves.

On April 4th, 2007, Halle Berry was immortalised on Hollywood’s ‘Walk of Fame‘. Her star is the 2333rd to be laid on the ‘Walk of Fame’. She was initially due to receive her star in 2003 but conflicting schedules prevented her from receiving it until 2007.

“I just want to continue to be happy in myself, which I am today, and give of myself in ways that feel meaningful for me. And the next chapter in my life, I think, will be about parenthood. Waking up and doing movies isn’t quite enough anymore. I think the next act for me will be trying to be a good mother.”

“I don’t want a guy getting anywhere near my lips on a first date. Even if you like someone right off the bat, it’s so much sexier to hold off a little. You don’t want to blow your wad on the first shot, right?”

Christina Aguilera sought comfort in soul music to help her cope with the pain of living in an abusive household while she was growing up. Christina dyed her hair black (May 2003) because she believed that it gave her a more mature look.

Christina explains, “I feel empowered when I express myself sexually. Any woman who’s going to strongly express herself sexually, there’s always a backlash… Throughout the years, men have tried to put a restraint on how women are allowed to behave. If you do this, you’re not sexy enough. And if you don’t do that, you’re too sexy… There are so many double standards. It’s very important to me as a female to play upon sexuality and be very strong while incorporating that in my art and work.”

In her first interview since being released from jail, Paris Hilton told CNN’s Larry King on Wednesday that she has never used drugs, isn’t a big drinker, and although she feels her incarceration was unwarranted, God had a reason for putting her there.

“Don’t serve the time; let the time serve you,” Hilton said. “I have a new outlook on life.”

Grilled about the friends she had to sacrifice, she replied, “I’ve gotten rid of a lot of people.” Asked for names, she said, “I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but they know who they are.”

During her 23 days in jail, Paris Hilton said she meditated, read letters from fans, talked to other inmates through the vents, wrote in her journal and read the Bible, though she couldn’t cite a favorite passage when asked. It was also nice to have a little privacy, she said, and to “be away from all the flashes for a while.”

But there were rough times, too, she said. The food “wasn’t that tasty,” she said. Being strip-searched was the most humiliating experience of her life and one Sunday visit from her parents was especially emotional for her, she said.

“It was my first Father’s Day I couldn’t give my dad a hug, and that was really hard on me,” she said, describing how she was separated from her visitors by glass.”

Asked three times if she has ever used or been addicted to drugs, she replied flatly, “No.” Asked if she was a big drinker, Hilton told King, “I’m not really into it. I think socially people do sometimes when they go out, but it’s not something that I really care about.”

Stacy Ann Ferguson began her career in 1983 as the voice of Sally Brown in the children’s cartoon series Charlie Brown. Shortly afterwards, at the age of eight, she made her first appearance on the variety television program Kids Incorporated.

Ferguson replaced Black Eyed Peas background singer Kim Hill, who left the group in 2000. Ferguson recorded five songs with the group before she was invited to join them permanently.

Fergie released her first solo single “London Bridge” on July 13, 2006 and it reached #1 in the US music chart.

Growing up in a strict Catholic upbringing, “I’ve had lesbian experiences in the past. I won’t say how many men I’ve had sex with – but I’m a very sexual person.”

“I started doing Ecstasy. Then I got addicted to crystal methamphetamine. My weight dropped to 90lb. I lied to my friends and said I was bulimic. Finally I started going crazy. In that moment I talked to God and He said: ‘I’ve given you all these gifts, so what are you doing?’ I decided to get clean. I told everybody what was wrong.”
