Hollywood Actress - Lucy Hale
Hollywood Actress - Lucy Hale 1
Lucy Hale - Lucy Hale made her mark in Hollywood as a preteen vying for a mainstream talent competition before coming into her own as a versatile actress. The multitalented star first wowed audiences on "American Juniors" (Fox, 2003). Hale's vocal skills landed her in the Top 5 and a place in the musical group comprised of the other finalists.Hollywood Actress - Lucy Hale 2
Lucy Hale - After releasing a debut album with American Juniors, Hale pursued an acting career that saw her rise from supporting player to featured star in just a few years. Her hard work and charismatic presence landed Hale major roles on various television shows and in miniseries and feature films, including the big screen coming-of-age hit "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" (2008). In 2010, Hale quickly ascended to the top ranks of teen superstardom with a starring role on the mystery drama series "Pretty Little Liars," as a girl forced to confront her past because of a friend's disappearance. Playing a layered character with real-life and sometimes controversial issues showcased Hale's seasoned acting abilities and laid the foundation for a successful career beyond her teen years.Hollywood Actress - Lucy Hale 3
Lucy Hale - Karen Lucille Hale was born on June 14, 1989 in Memphis, TN. She first showcased her vocal talent on "American Juniors," a reality competition show and spin-off of the hit series "American Idol" (Fox, 2002- ). Hale competed against thousands of children and teenagers, belting out pop standards such as "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" (1962) and "Call Me" (1980) all the way to making the "American Juniors" Top 5. As one of the last five standing, Hale was guaranteed a spot in the musical group created by the show. The newly formed American Juniors released its self-titled album in October 2004, about a year after its originally scheduled date. The group disbanded in 2005 due to lack of publicity for the album and the members pursuing their own solo projects. The show also never returned for a second season.Hollywood Actress - Lucy Hale 4
Lucy Hale - Hale took time off from recording music to concentrate on her acting career. She made her acting debut with a guest appearance on "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide" (Nickelodeon, 2004-07), about an upbeat and charming junior high student (Devon Werkheiser) who shares tips and tricks to surviving the crucial preteen years based on his own experiences. Shifting her focus to acting proved much more successful for Hale, who landed more guest-starring stints early in her career on the teen drama series "The O.C." (Fox, 2003-07), to the primetime comedy hit "How I Met Your Mother" (CBS, 2005- ).Hollywood Actress - Lucy Hale 5
Lucy Hale - She landed her first featured role on the short-lived "Bionic Woman" (NBC, 2007), a modern day re-imagining of the original series that had starred Lindsay Wagner. On the reboot, Hale played the teen sister of a bartender (Michelle Ryan) who, after surviving a car crash, receives advanced bionic prosthetics and implants that allows her to have extraordinary strength. "Bionic Woman" received mixed critical reviews and was taken off the air after one season.Hollywood Actress - Lucy Hale 6
Lucy Hale - Hale continued to impress viewers with her acting and in 2008, made her feature film debut in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2." The sequel, based on the popular young adult series of novels by Ann Brashares, followed four lifelong friends (Blake Lively, America Ferrara, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel) who spend their first college summer apart, but unite in spirit with the help of a pair of denim pants.Hollywood Actress - Lucy Hale 7
Lucy Hale - Hale played the younger sister of Bledel's character who steals the "magical" pants and loses them during a trip to Greece. Fresh from her mainstream film debut, Hale was cast in "Privileged" (The CW, 2008-09), about a Yale-educated woman (Joanna Garcia) who works as a live-in tutor for a pair of wealthy and spoiled twins living in Florida. Hale played Rose, one of the socialite twins, who was less-than-thrilled with having a tutor. "Privileged" fared moderately well in the ratings early on, but lost its steam by the end of the first season. The CW canceled the show in 2009 after 18 episodes. The following year, Hale's dirt-stained face graced billboards and posters everywhere, promoting a new mystery drama series that would raise her profile and change her life virtually overnight.Hollywood Actress - Lucy Hale 8
Lucy Hale - Based on the "Pretty Little Liars" novel series written by Sara Shepard, the ABC Family program of the same name chronicled a group of friends whose clique falls apart after their queen bee inexplicably disappears and an anonymous foe threatens to reveal their darkest secrets.Hollywood Actress - Lucy Hale 9
Lucy Hale - Hale starred as Aria Montgomery, one of the four friends left to solve their leader's disappearance, who also becomes romantically involved with her English teacher (Ian Harding). "Pretty Little Liars," which was described as a teen version of "Desperate Housewives" (ABC, 2004- ), tackled various issues from body image to homophobia, and struck a chord with TV viewers and critics. The series turned Hale and her co-stars Troian Bellisario, Ashley Benson and Shay Mitchell into teen stars, gracing the covers of magazines and attending major award shows. Her breakout role also earned Hale a 2010 Teen Choice Award for Choice Summer TV Star: Female. The actress returned to the big screen with a cameo in the 2011 slashfest, "Scream 4." The Wes Craven-directed film that reunited the stars of the original three films - including Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette - with the masked murderer known as the Ghostface Killer.Thursday, December 29, 2011
Celebrities Hollywood - Angelina Jolie
Celebrities Hollywood - Angelina Jolie 1
Angelina Jolie was born Angelina Jolie Voight in Los Angeles, on June 4th, 1975 - her name meaning Pretty Little Angel. Her father, Jon, was already an established superstar, having topped the bill in such classics as Midnight Cowboy and Deliverance. When Angelina was 2, he'd scoop the Best Actor Oscar for Coming Home. By then though, he'd already split from her mother, the part-Iroquois actress and model Marcheline Bertrand (now Angelina'smanager), who'd moved with Angelina and her brother James to the East Coast - to the Palisades, New York, to be more precise.Celebrities Hollywood - Angelina Jolie 2
Angelina Jolie While most Hollywood stars do everything they can to appear cool, professional and squeaky-clean, diligently concealing all their nasty little secrets, Angelina Jolie appears wholly unconcerned by controversy. Ever-keen to talk about her breakdowns, her disorders, her fantasies and her world-famous penchant for S&M, many would say she's built a career on titillating public confession. But she's also an increasingly fine and award-winning performer, her Oscar for Girl, Interrupted being only the first in a string of prestigious honours. Onscreen, as in bed, she is a risk-taker, and perhaps deserves to be seen as the spiritual sister of such greats as Streep, Pfeiffer and Lange. Beyond this, her international efforts on behalf of children and refugees have made her the most public-minded superstar since Audrey Hepburn.Celebrities Hollywood - Angelina Jolie 3
Living here, Jolie was a happy child. She collected snakes and lizards - her favourite lizard being named Vladimir, and her favourite snake Harry Dean Stanton - and, oddly, like many females of her age, she had a major crush on Mr Spock. She would wear glittery clothing, including sparkly underwear, and flounce around, already performing, keen to make people laugh, to make them like her.Celebrities Hollywood - Angelina Jolie 4
Angelina Jolie was a member of the Kissy Girls, who hunted boys down and kiss them till they screamed - until the school was forced to call the parents and the gang broke up. Marcheline would take the kids to the movies often, and Jolie claims this is where she got the notion to be an actress - not from her uncle, Chip Taylor (an actor and composer), not from her godmother Jacqueline Bisset, and definitely NOT from her father, though at age 7 she did appear in Lookin' To Get Out, a movie about inveterate gamblers, co-written by and starring Jon Voight.Celebrities Hollywood - Angelina Jolie 5
Now Angelina decided she wanted to act and, as ever jumping in at the deep end, enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, where she trained for two years, appearing in several stage productions. As a pupil at Beverly Hills High School, she was not alone in her cinematic ambitions. But she certainly FELT alone in the midst of all those good-looking, pampered children, children who teased her mercilessly for wearing braces and glasses and being so painfully skinny. Unlike the other parents, Marcheline was not rich - so Angelina also had to seek her clothes at thrift stores like Aardvark. Her confidence received a further battering when her attempts at modelling proved fruitless. She never got picked - too short, too thin, too fat, too scarred.Celebrities Hollywood - Angelina Jolie 6
Angelina Jolie had appeared in five of her brother's student films, made while he attended the USC School of Cinema (he was now known as James Haven), but her movie career proper began in 1993, when she starred as Casella "Cash" Reese, alongside Elias Koteas and Jack Palance in Cyborg 2.Celebrities Hollywood - Angelina Jolie 7
Angelina Jolie Now came the comedy-drama Pushing Tin, about two air traffic controllers who engage in macho conflict. John Cusack was one, the other was Billy Bob Thornton, acclaimed director, writer and star of Sling Blade. Jolie played Thornton's wife, an extremely sexy sort who sends the guys crazy and sleeps with Cusack. The film was excellent. More importantly for Jolie, she fell for Thornton, 15 years her senior, who proceeded to dump his longtime girlfriend Laura Dern. The pair became infamous for their salacious quotes, Thornton admitting that he liked to wear Jolie's underwear, even to work, as it made him feel close to her. Actually, their quotes were often rude, but clearly loving.Celebrities Hollywood - Angelina Jolie 8
Angelina Jolie was about to become a huge star. Winona Ryder has claimed that her character in Girl, Interrupted could have been her as a young girl. But Jolie's character, Lisa Rowe - insanely ebullient then horribly depressed, hating but needing some form of structure to her life, even an institution - really WAS Jolie. Stealing the show entirely, she won the Oscar, and herein lies a sweet tale. At the time filming Original Sin down in Mexico, Jolie flew to the Oscar ceremony (she'd attended before, age 12 and all glammed up in lace and pearls, with her dad), won, then flew straight back, arriving at 4.30 am and going straight to sleep. Suddenly, she was awoken by a mariachi band, hired by co-star Antonio Banderas and director Michael Cristofer. Stumbling from her trailer, she was handed a single rose by every member of the crew, many of whom, along with Cristofer, had worked on Gia and, remembering her at her lowest ebb, wished to recognise this moment of triumph. In the press, meanwhile, her victory was quickly overshadowed by freakish reports that she was having an affair with her own brother. They must have assumed she'd try anything once. This is a big part of the Jolie phenomenon - she has a searing reputation for being sexually voracious and promiscuous, yet says she's slept with only a tiny handful of people.Celebrities Hollywood - Angelina Jolie 9
Angelina Jolie didn't have much to do but be charismatic, which she managed with ease - though she did look thin and drawn, something noted by Cristofer when Jolie moved directly from Gone In 60 Seconds on to the set of Original Sin. Based on Cornell Woolrich's Waltz Into Darkness, this would be a steamy bodice-ripper where she played a mail order bride for Banderas' coffee planter in 1900s Cuba, a bride who turns out to be dominating, manipulative and thoroughly untrustworthy. It was a wonder he didn't mail her straight back.Wednesday, December 28, 2011

Style Hollywood Actress - Kim Kardashian
Style Hollywood Actress - Kim Kardashian 1
Kim Kardashian - At first blush, Kim Kardashian seemed indistinguishable from any of the twenty-something actresses, models and socialites whose faces littered the pages of gossip magazines and web sites in the early millennium. Like so many of them, she had access to fabulous wealth, male companions of varying celebrity pedigrees, her own reality series and an uncanny ability to appear wherever the paparazzi were swarming at any given moment. But what separated Kardashian from that maddening crowd was not so much what she did but what she had - to wit, an inordinately bountiful posterior that demanded and received cult-like worship from celebrity chroniclers.Style Hollywood Actress - Kim Kardashian 2
Kim Kardashian - Prior to Kardashian's arrival on the scene, only Jennifer Lopez's rump had received so much devotion from so many admirers. However, unlike La Lopez, Kardashian appeared to have no problem showing off her back end in all its glories in a purloined bedroom videotape with second string R&B star, Ray J. Star power and idol worship trumped any bad feelings that may have resulted from the video's leak, allowing Kardashian's grip on media coverage to not only continue unabated, but expand to other venues like feature films and television competitions. Perhaps just as important to her stardom as her posterior was the success of the Ryan Seacrest-produced reality show based around her rather large and glamorous family, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" (E!, 2007- ) - a show which humanized the young woman, putting a face and a heart with the fabled behind.Style Hollywood Actress - Kim Kardashian 3
Kim Kardashian - She was born Kimberly Noel Kardashian in the exclusive San Fernando Valley community of Calabasas, CA on Oct. 21, 1980. Her father was attorney Robert Kardashian, who gained infamy as the man who sheltered O.J. Simpson after the double murders of Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman; and later as a member of his colossal legal team. Her mother was socialite Kris Houghton, who divorced Kardashian in 1989 before marrying Olympic legend, Bruce Jenner. Prior to his involvement in the Simpson case, Kardashian's father had been out of the legal profession for almost two decades and was operating a music marketing firm called Movie Tunes. Kardashian worked there while attending Catholic school, and decided to follow in her father's footsteps after his death in 2003. She struck out on her own as a wardrobe stylist for music commercials and video shoots, but apparently found her calling as a "closet designer" - one who organizes closets, it was assumed - after helping Bernadette Leonard, her godmother and wife to boxing great Sugar Ray Leonard, bring some order to her own storage areas.Style Hollywood Actress - Kim Kardashian 4
Kim Kardashian - Kardashian's connections to the celebrity scene helped to bring her front and center on various red carpets and events, but she remained far afield from the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan in terms of coverage in the gossip publications. Even a high profile marriage to producer and songwriter Damon Thomas from 2000-04 did little to improve her standing among the real tabloid champs. All of that changed in 2006 with the "accidental" release of a graphic sex tape featuring her in explicit scenes with singer Ray J, whose claim to fame up until that point was a series of modest record successes and kinship with singer Brandy Norwell.Style Hollywood Actress - Kim Kardashian 5
Kim Kardashian - Though both side vehemently denied releasing the tape to the public, the actions of both Kardashian and Ray J indicated otherwise. Kardashian was glimpsed donning makeup prior to filming, and the erstwhile male star/cameraman issues an explicit warning to viewers of the tape. Regardless of the details, the footage was snapped up by Vivid Entertainment, one of the leading producers and distributors of American pornographic material, and released to the public in 2006. Kardashian released a statement that expressed her intent to block the DVD by legal means, but later settled for a $5 million payout for her troubles. The DVD went on to become one of the top-selling titles of the year, and the press that both preceded and followed its street date helped to put Kardashian in sharp focus with the press.Style Hollywood Actress - Kim Kardashian 6
Kim Kardashian - After the usual round of mea culpa over the tape in interviews, Kardashian soon found herself the subject of serious coverage by tabloid and entertainment news sources. Surprisingly, many of the write-ups passed over the sex tape story in favor of bigger news - namely, her behind. Scores of articles and blogs were devoted to guessing the size of her rear end, how it got to such a prodigious circumference, and whether it was supplemented by artificial means or not. For her part, Kardashian was happy to stand in profile or be captured in as many over the shoulder photographs as possible, passing off her attributes as genetic; in that being half Armenian, she was predisposed to a larger backside.Style Hollywood Actress - Kim Kardashian 7
Kim Kardashian - The fact that reams of words and pictures were being expended over Kardashian did not go unnoticed by television producers, who fell over themselves to find a vehicle on which to hang her ascending star. She was soon making appearances alongside Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in "The Simple Life" (Fox/E!, 2003-05, 2007), as well as other reality shows like "Sunset Tan" (E!, 2007- ). But clearly, audience demand for more Kardashian coverage demanded that she earn a show of her own, and in 2007, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" (E!, 2007- ) replaced "The Simple Life" as E!'s flagship reality series.Style Hollywood Actress - Kim Kardashian 8
Kim Kardashian - Though pitched as a depiction of life at home with Kardashian, her mother and stepfather, and their extended brood, "Keeping Up" operated from that grey zone known as "semi-scripted" reality television, which meant that some of the "wacky" situations aired for viewers were concocted by a crack team of writers and not the product of the Kardashian's day-to-day existence. For her part, Kardashian seemed largely removed from the chaos of her home life, which counted her sisters Kourtney and Khloe, brother Robert Jr., half-sisters Kendall and Kylie, and stepbrothers Burton, Brandon and Brody among its daily visitors. Her participation seemed limited to working at Dash, the clothing store she co-owned with her sisters, and commenting on the hijinks her sisters and mother seemed to stir up in each episode while Jenner cast disapproving glances like a sitcom dad. However, in true Kardashian fashion, there were a few racy moments to maintain interest, such as a 2007 photo shoot for Playboy and a sexy calendar layout intended for boyfriend and New Orleans Saints pro Reggie Bush which somehow gets sold to the public by her mother. Critics dismissed the program as one of the more pointless exercises in reality television, but its ratings soared with each subsequent season.Style Hollywood Actress - Kim Kardashian 9
Kim Kardashian - The added exposure allowed Kardashian to expand her "brand" to other venues as well. In 2008, she released her own exercise DVD, "The Kim Kardashian Workout: For Your Mind, Body and Spirit," which was produced through her production company, Kimsaprincess Productions, and a signature fragrance was also announced. Later that same year, she was announced as one of the celebrity contestants on the seventh season of "Dancing with the Stars," on which she was paired with professional dancer, heartthrob and season six winner Mark Ballas. Kardashian was top-billed alongside such other marginal actresses as Carmen Electra and Vanessa Minnillo in "Disaster Movie" (2008), a kitchen-sink pop culture comedy that featured her in scenes spoofing World Wrestling Entertainment divas, among other soft targets.
