Maroon 5 lead vocalist and guitarist Adam Levine was born on March 18, 1979, in Los Angeles, CA. He began playing music with junior-high friends guitarist Jesse Carmichael and bassist Mickey Madden under the influence of groups like Nirvana and Pearl Jam, and after the final 1994 addition of Ryan Dusick on drums, the alternative rock band Kara's Flowers were born. The quartet scored a record deal with Reprise, released a mediocre album, and was released from its contract all in a matter of years. Following the termination of its deal, the band went on hiatus and Levine headed to New York with Carmichael to attend Five Towns College on Long Island. While there, he was exposed to a whole new music scene and absorbed new influences like hip-hop, soul, gospel, and R&B that changed Levine's whole perspective on songwriting, even altering the way in which he sang -- from a deeper, grunge-inspired delivery to a higher and more expressive one. Levine and Carmichael dropped out of school after a semester and headed back to California rejuvenated and inspired to add a new groove-based element to their band's rock template. Hooking back up with the rest of the Kara's Flowers guys, Levine began writing a bunch of songs that were directly inspired by his recently failed relationship, which was imploding as the band was entering the studio to record. After adding in new guitarist James Valentine (moving Carmichael over to keyboards) and scoring a new deal with Octone Records, the newly christened Maroon 5 were officially up and running; their debut album, the aptly titled Songs About Jane, was soon completed. Released in June 2002, the album sold steadily over the next couple of years and was certified platinum by 2004. Maroon 5 scored several hit singles, won two Grammy Awards, and toured constantly in support. During their rise in popularity, the pop/rockers managed to stir up a little bit of controversy when the music video for "This Love" included scenes of Levine and his then real-life girlfriend (not Jane) engaging in simulated sex. ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide

Levine has collaborated with various musical acts. In 2005, Levine was featured on the Ying Yang Twins song "Live Again". He appeared on Kanye West's Late Registration album, on the third single, "Heard 'Em Say". He is also featured in the song "Wild Horses" on Alicia Keys' third album Alicia Keys: MTV Unplugged. Over the next year, he co-wrote the track "Say It Again" on Natasha Bedingfield's album N.B.. He also performed the background vocals on this song. Most recently, Levine offered his vocals on Gym Class Heroes' newest album in the song "Stereo Hearts".

Levine has made four notable comic appearances on television. During 2007, he appeared on the 33rd season premiere of Saturday Night Live in an SNL Digital Short called Iran So Far with Andy Samberg, Fred Armisen and Jake Gyllenhaal. Levine played himself while singing a humorous bridge to a "love song" for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In 2008, he appeared on Comedy Central's "Night Of Too Many Stars". Levine also had a cameo on Jimmy Kimmel Live for the night of stars and endorsed Barack Obama in the 2008 Presidential Election.

In October 2008, Levine collaborated with First Act to create the First Act 222 Guitar, fashioned to Levine's specifications. The guitar was made available for purchase at Target retail stores.

Levine has stated in various interviews that he does not plan on continuing in Maroon 5 forever, and may stop after the tour for Maroon 5's third album.

Levine made a guest appearance as himself on the season three finale of 30 Rock in the episode Kidney Now!.

In 2009, Levine recorded "Gotten", a song for Slash's first solo album Slash released in April 2010. "Gotten" was premiered at amazon.com on March 29, 2010.

Levine is also featured as a singer for his band's song "She Will be Loved" in the music rhythm game Band Hero.

In February 2010, he was among approximately 80 musicians who sang on the charity-single remake of "We Are the World" called "We Are the World 25 for Haiti".

Levine is one of the contestant judges and coach mentors on the singing TV show, The Voice. The winner, Javier Colon, was on Levine's team.

Singer. Born Adam Lambert on January 29, 1982, as the eldest of two siblings. He and his family moved to San Diego, California, from Indiana when Lambert was a baby. Lambert dreamed of being an entertainer from the age of 10; around that time he was cast in his first role as Linus in the Lyceum Theater's production of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown in San Diego.

Thrilled by the stage, Lambert took private voice lessons and appeared in more musicals such as Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Grease and Chess at local theatres. His voice coach, Lynne Broyles, and artistic director of the Children's Theatre Network, Alex Urban, became influential mentors during this time.

Lambert attended Mt. Carmel High School where he participated in theater, choir and jazz band. After high school, he moved to Orange County to attend college. Shortly after enrollment Lambert had a change of heart, and decided that his real desire was to perform. He left school after only five weeks.

Lambert has been a stage actor since he was about ten years old. He was cast as Linus in San Diego's Lyceum Theater's production of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Around age twelve, he was cast in a production of Fiddler on the Roof and continued performing throughout his teenage years including Hello, Dolly!, Chess, Camelot, The Music Man, Grease and played Captain Hook in Peter Pan. At age 19, Lambert left the U.S. to tour with Anita Mann Productions for ten months before returning to the U.S. to perform light opera in Orange County, California. He was then cast in the European production of Hair and U.S. theater productions of Brigadoon and 110 in the Shade, before being cast in the role of Joshua in The Ten Commandments: The Musical at the Kodak Theatre alongside Val Kilmer. Lambert was one of the few actors in the play that garnered a positive review. From December 2006 to May 2007, Lambert briefly moonlighted as the front man for underground rock band The Citizen Vein with Steve Sidelnyk, Tommy Victor and Monte Pittman. Beginning in 2004, he regularly performed at the Upright Cabaret and the Zodiac Show, which was co-created by Carmit Bachar of the Pussycat Dolls.

From 2005-2008 he performed in the ensemble, as well as understudy the role of Fiyero, in the national tour and Los Angeles productions of Wicked.

Lambert auditioned for the eighth season of American Idol in San Francisco, California. In a Rolling Stone interview he said his decision to audition for the show came after a week at Burning Man where he experimented with "certain funguses." He went on to say that "I had a psychedelic experience where I looked up at the clouds and went, 'Oh!' I realized that we all have our own power, and that whatever I wanted to do, I had to make happen."

During his initial audition, he sang "Rock With You" and "Bohemian Rhapsody." Lambert had cited several musical influences, including Madonna, Queen, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Aerosmith, and Led Zeppelin. In the semifinals, Lambert was voted into the Top 13, joining fellow Group 2 performers Allison Iraheta and Kris Allen. Lambert and Allen became roommates in the Idol mansion, with Allen stating it was due to their neatness.

During Michael Jackson week, he sang "Black or White" leading to praise from all four judges, with Paula Abdul predicting that he would go on to the finals. The following week, Lambert sang a version of "Ring of Fire". While Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi, and Abdul all liked his performance, Simon Cowell called it "indulgent rubbish". On Motown night, Lambert sang an acoustic version of The Miracles', "The Tracks of My Tears". The judges all liked it, and Smokey Robinson, the week's mentor and the original singer-songwriter, gave Lambert a standing ovation. For his Top 8 performance, Lambert sang the 2001 Michael Andrews and Gary Jules arrangement of "Mad World". Because the show had exceeded its time slot, only Cowell gave a critique, which he did by simply giving Lambert a standing ovation. During the results next night, the other judges agreed that a standing ovation was the best critique of Lambert's performance. For his second Top 7 performance, Lambert sang "If I Can't Have You", delivering what DioGuardi described as his "most memorable performance", while Cowell described his vocals as "immaculate". Abdul was reduced to tears, with host Ryan Seacrest joking that Lambert had melted her into a "pool of Abdul". In the Top 4, Lambert was the first to sing, performing "Whole Lotta Love". Cowell commented, "that was one of my favorite performances...nobody can top that now", while Abdul, punning on the song's title, described Lambert's performance as "a whole lotta perfect".

Photos of Lambert romantically kissing another man surfaced while he was competing on American Idol. Initially shown and discussed by commentators on The O'Reilly Factor, the panel agreed that the images would likely have no impact on the competition. Lambert confirmed that the photos were of him, stating he had nothing to hide and has always been open about his life. Mainstream media speculation centered on Lambert's sexuality; presuming he was gay, he would be the first gay American Idol. Much of the media focus regarded the readiness of American Idol voters for an openly gay winner. Asked by Rolling Stone whether the speculation surrounding his sexual orientation impacted the final vote, Lambert laughed and said "probably". He confirmed that he was gay in a Rolling Stone cover story interview shortly after he was named the American Idol runner-up.

For the top three show, in which each of the three remaining contestants does a hometown visit and performance, Lambert sang both Michael Jackson's "Black or White", and the Michael Andrews / Gary Jules version of Tears for Fears' "Mad World" at his alma mater, Mt. Carmel High School. Afterwards, San Diego mayor Jerry Sanders declared May 8, 2009 "Adam Lambert Day."

Real name: Adam Jared Brody

Date of birth: December 15. 1979

Place of birth: San Diego, California

Astrology Sign: Sagittarius

Height: 5' 11

Hair color: Dark brown

Eye color: Hazel

Profession: Actor

Adam Jared Brody was born in San Diego, CA on Dec. 15, 1979. His father, Mark Brody, was a lawyer; his mother, Valerie Siefman, was a graphic artist. Brody grew up with younger twin brothers, Sean and Matt. His love for acting emerged in the sixth grade, after his mother suggested he join a community theater production of "Inherit the Wind," in which Brody played a paper boy. In addition to attending Scripps Ranch High School in San Diego, Brody was also an avid surfer, spending most of his downtime with friends at the beach. Though not an official Orange County resident, Brody had more than enough experience living beachside in Southern California throughout his adolescence.

During his senior year of high school, Brody worked at a local Blockbuster Video store, where he developed a passion for film and studied it by watching almost every movie at his disposal. After gaining an extensive knowledge of movies, Brody packed up and headed 120 miles north to Los Angeles to pursue acting. He worked several odd jobs - including a valet at the Beverly Hills Hotel - before landing his first acting job - a very small part with few lines on the soap opera, "The Young and the Restless" (CBS, 1973- ). Only a year after he moved to Los Angeles, Brody was cast as look-a-like Barry Williams, playing the latter's iconic role of Greg Brady, in the TV movie, "Growing Up Brady" (NBC, 2000). Critics noted that Brody's pretty-boy charm, lanky frame and slight awkwardness were reminiscent of Williams during his heyday.

On a bit of a roll after briefly paying his Hollywood dues, the working actor Brody felt confident enough to say goodbye to his day jobs, before popping up in small parts on several TV shows, including "Smallville" (CW, 2001- ), "Once and Again" (ABC, 1999-2002), and MTV's "Undressed" (1999-2002).

The year 2003 was a turning point in Adam's professional life and his acting career was about to change radically. Adam was cast to play the loveable and geeky Seth Cohen; the son of Peter Gallagher, in 'The O.C.' Adam had truly arrived! The O.C. cast includes Peter Gallagher, Benjamin McKenzie, Mischa Barton, and Rachel Bilson. During the course of shooting for O.C, Adam and Rachel Bilson became a couple. However, on 5 December 2006 Adam broke up with his girlfriend of over two years, Rachel Bilson.

With O.C. Adam found himself catapulted to newer heights of celebrity and popularity. His warm and winning smile endeared him to young teenager girls across America and also made him the #1 pin-up celebrity in U.K.

The phenomenal success and popularity of Adam's role as Seth Cohen in O.C. pushed him to try his luck in Hollywood. His ever-growing resume includes movies such as 'The Ring' (2002) a thriller starring Naomi Watts, 'Missing Brendan' (2003) in which he played the dynamic lead as Patrick, 'Grind' (2003) a skateboarding movie and 'American Pie 2'. He has also worked with Hollywood A list stars, Angelina Jolie, and Brad Pitt in the movie 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' (2005). His other film credits include movies like 'Thank You for Smoking' (2006) and the upcoming 'Land of Women' and 'Smiley Face' (2007).

Abigail Breslin Biography

NAME: Abigail Kathleen Breslin

OCCUPATION: Film Actress, Television Actress

BIRTH DATE: April 14, 1996 (Age: 15)

PLACE OF BIRTH: New York, New York

ZODIAC SIGN: Aries

Abigail Breslin Relationships:

Kim Breslin - Mother

Michael Breslin - Father

Ryan Breslin - Brother

Spencer Breslin - Brother

Actress Abigail Breslin was born on April 14, 1996 in New York City. Abigail got her start in television commercials before M. Night Shyamalan cast her as Mel Gibson's daughter in 2002's Signs. Since then, she has had supporting roles in several films, including 2006's sleeper hit Little Miss Sunshine, which earned her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Breslin plays Bo Hess, Gibson's asthma-ridden, paranoiac daughter who is racked by the delusion that she must never drink water, for every glass in the house is now contaminated. The terror evident in this characterization was not unique. From an early age, the pint-sized Breslin became notorious for her preternatural ability to pour an extraordinary amount of emotional intensity into each role, which led to several challenging parts that Breslin pulled off with ease. The first of these turns, 2004's sadly overlooked Keane, is a harrowing drama about a drug- and alcohol-riddled schizophrenic named William Keane (Damian Lewis), obsessed with attempting to find his young daughter, who may never have even existed. Amy Ryan and Breslin play, respectively, Lynn Bedik and Kira Bedik, a mother and daughter who wander into William's life and concurrently raise, within him, a towering fear of himself and the capacity for emotional connection. The New York Post's V.A. Musetto called Breslin "a revelation."

After light-hearted turns in Garry Marshall's terribly received Raising Helen (which marked the first onscreen pairing of Breslin and her older brother) and David S. Cass' little-seen domestic comedy Family Plan (2005), Breslin signed on as the central character in Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton's Little Miss Sunshine. This road comedy -- about a severely dysfunctional family that bands together and treks off to the titular children's beauty pageant in which young Olive (Breslin) is participating -- unexpectedly dazzled viewers with its acerbic wit, flashes of wild humor.

More TV and a direct-to-video feature - the kids' movie "Chestnut: Hero of Central Park," (2006) - followed, but "Little Miss Sunshine" was primed and sitting in the wings. Breslin found herself once again the subject of critical praise and movie audiences' adoration. Her entrancing, star-making performance - which stood out in a cast peopled by such top talent as Greg Kinnear, Toni Collette, Steve Carrell, and the esteemed Alan Arkin, with whom she shared some of the film's funniest scenes - was recognized by the Gotham Awards, who nominated her for Breakthrough Performance and as part of the Best Ensemble Cast. She also got a nod from the Screen Actors Guild Awards, earning a nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role - Theatrical Motion Pictures. The ultimate recognition came with an Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actress, making her the fourth-youngest actress ever nominated.

Following her summer triumph in "Sunshine," Breslin was besieged with offers for both film and television. She landed a guest-starring turn on "Grey's Anatomy" (ABC, 2005- ) as a child who cannot experience physical pain, and added some zest to the predictable Vince Vaughn holiday comedy "Fred Claus" (2007). In the romantic comedy "No Reservations" (2007), she was again tapped to provide precocious charm as a nine-year-old entrusted to the care of an exacting and ambitious chef (Catherine Zeta-Jones) who has a love/hate relationship with co-worker Aaron Eckhart. The independent romantic comedy "Definitely, Maybe" (2008) fared better with critics, and gave Breslin a little more to work with in her role as the daughter of a divorcé (Ryan Reynolds) who tells her the story of his early romances.

Next up for the busy actress, Breslin co-starred alongside former child star Jodie Foster in the family adventure "Nim's Island" (2008), and gave younger audiences another offering with "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl" (2008), based on the popular series of historic dolls and books. Taking a more serious turn, she starred as the sister of a cancer patient (Sofia Vassilieva) who sues over the right to decide whether or not to donate an organ to her sister in "My Sister's Keeper" (2009). In the fall of that year she returned to comedy with the tongue-in-cheek horror movie, "Zombieland" (2009).

Abbie Cornish Biography

Name : Abbie Cornish

Date of Birth : August 7, 1982

Birth Place : Lochinvar, New South Wales, Australia

Height : 5' 8" (1.73 m)

Born Aug. 7, 1982 in Lochnivar, New South Wales, Cornish grew up on a large farm with her parents and four siblings. "Boredom" was the answer she gave for pursuing a career in front of the camera, and after winning a contest through the Aussie teen magazine Dolly, she landed an agent and began auditioning for roles on Australian television. Her first critical notices came at the age of 15 when she played a quadriplegic in the television series "Children's Hospital" (Two Network, 1997). Two years later, Cornish - who had since moved away from her parents at the age of 16 - was honored by the Australian Film Institute for her performance in a 1999 episode of the police drama "Wildside" (Australian Broadcast Corporation, 1997-99). Despite the acclaim, Cornish devoted an equal amount of her time to her studies and planned to become a veterinarian.

A string of impressive roles in Australian features quickly followed her AFI win - she was a sexually charged poetess who goes missing in the lesbian-themed mystery "The Monkey's Mask" (2000); a venomous schoolgirl in the black comedy "Horseplay" (2003), and a young drug casualty in the rave-culture drama "One Perfect Day" (2004) - but it was "Somersault" (2004) that made critics around the world stand up and take notice. An often disturbing drama about a teenage girl's headlong dive into sex and the people around her who seem all too willing to take advantage of her naiveté, Cornish's performance earned her raves at the Cannes Film Festival, as well as awards at numerous film festivals in her native country and around the world.

Two years later, Cornish's success in "Somersault" paid off in spades with high-profile roles in a string of attention-garnering features. She co-starred with fellow Aussie superstars Heath Ledger and Geoffrey Rush in "Candy" (2006), a stylized romance between a heroin-addicted poet (Ledger) and a painter (Cornish). She also showed off a flawless American accent as a California teenager searching for her father in "A Good Year" (2006), Ridley Scott's adaptation of the Peter Mayle novel about a businessman (Russell Crowe) who inherits a vineyard and its offbeat neighbors.

After "A Good Year," Cornish became involved in two projects - one of which garnered considerable press (mostly of the prurient-investigative kind). "Stop Loss" (2007) was the film, directed by "Boys Don't Cry" helmer Kimberly Peirce, that she was working on in the United States when reports surfaced that she and co-star Ryan Phillippe were engaged in an affair. The alleged incriminating evidence came to light shortly after Phillippe and his wife, Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon, had announced their separation in the press - which naturally led the media to speculate that Cornish was the crux of their marital discord. Her representatives openly and sternly denied any wrongdoing on the part of the actress, but there was no denying the fact the two were a couple after a discreet amount of time had passed and they were seen together, openly affectionate in public.

Back on screen, Cornish co-starred in "The Golden Age" (2007), director Shekhar Kapur's follow-up to "Elizabeth" (1998), in which she portrayed Elizabeth Throckmorton, secret wife to Sir Walter Raleigh (Clive Owen) and lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth (Cate Blanchett). Her starring role as the lover of iconic poet John Keats in Jane Campion's "Bright Star" (2009) brought Cornish significant notice, including Best Actress nominations from the British Independent Film Awards and the Satellite Awards, as well as dark horse Oscar talk.

Long considered one of Hollywood’s next great indie darlings thanks to her roles in films like Somersault, Candy, Stop-Loss, and Bright Star, Aussie actress Abbie Cornish’s latest batch of films have her headed in an entirely different direction. As Bradley Cooper’s love interest in the Limitless, which topped the box office the weekend of its release, Cornish proved that she has what it takes to share the screen with a real movie star. Whether or not she can become one will depend heavily on the success of Zack Snyder’s effects-laden Sucker Punch, her first real foray into big-budget movie-making.

Aaron Charles Carter (born December 7, 1987) is an American singer. He is the younger brother of singer Nick Carter, from the boy band Backstreet Boys. He came to fame as a pop and hip hop singer in the late-1990s, establishing himself as a star among preteen and teenage audiences during the early-2000s. Carter, who has also launched an acting career, is known for media reports regarding his personal life, including his relationships with Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan, and his legal problems, some involving his mother.

Carter’s love of singing and dancing surfaced early. By the age of two, he was already singing to his favorite songs from the radio and making up his own dance routines to go with the tunes. Older brother Nick, already bitten by the performing bug, was delighted to finally have a younger brother, and he soon was questioning Aaron about whether he was interested in singing too. Carter credits his older brother with getting him on the track to becoming an entertainer. "If Nick wasn’t a singer, then I wouldn’t be here," Carter reported on the Aaron Carter website. "He supports me and is the one who asked me if I wanted to sing. I was interested in performing before, but I think it would have been a lot harder."

His first full-length album "Aaron Carter" came out Dec 1, 1997. It achieved gold status in Norway, Spain, Denmark, Canada and Germany. The album was released in the United States on June 16, 1998. On May 18, 1998, Carter released the EP "Let The Music Heal Your Soul", a fund-raising project that featured vocals by Carter, the Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, the Moffatts and other artists. His next album, Aaron's Party (Sep 26, 2000), was released in the United States under the Jive Label. The album achieved triple-platinum certification.

At 13, Carter recorded the album "Oh, Aaron" (Aug 7, 2001) which featured his first duet recording with his brother Nick. "Oh, Aaron" was accompanied by a video/DVD of the same name (March 26, 2002) which included footage of his 2001 concert in Baton Rouge, Louisiana as well as music videos and interviews. Play Along Toys also created an Aaron Carter action figure along with the album's release.

Carter's next album, "Another Earthquake" (September 3, 2002), was released during the 2002 "Rock, Rap, and Retro" tour. The album featured the patriotic-themed "America A O" and the ballad "Do You Remember". Most Requested Hits was released November 3, 2003. The collection included tracks from his last three albums as well as a new single, "One Better".

Carter is also an actor. His TV appearances include "Lizzie McGuire" (2001), "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" (1996) and "7th Heaven" (1996). His first lead role in a feature was in Popstar (2005).

On September 18, 2006, it was reported that Carter was engaged to former beauty queen and Playboy model Kari Ann Peniche. US Weekly later reported that Carter had broken off his engagement to Peniche, saying he was impulsive in proposing to her. Later in 2006 he dated singer Kaci Brown.

Aaron Carter is a member of the Hollywood Knights celebrity basketball team, making frequent appearances for charitable causes. On August 14, 2008, Carter joined the Hollywood Knights for a game in Bergen, Norway.

Birth name : Alexander James McLean

Also known as : A.J., Alex, Bone

Born : January 9, 1978 (age 33)

Origin : West Palm Beach, Florida, United States

Genres : Pop, R&B, pop rock

Occupations : Singer, songwriter, actor

Alexander James McLean was born January 9, 1978 West Palm Beach, Florida. His parents Denise Fernandez and Bob McLean divorced when he was two years old and his mother and grandparents Ursula and Adolph Fernandez raised him.

Popular as one of the members of the boy band Backstreet Boys, McLean moved to Orlando, Florida with his mother in 1990 to concentrate on his acting and singing career. After many auditions for different Disney and Nickelodeon projects, he got a role in Nickelodeon's Welcome Freshmen. He also got a role in a comedy series called Hi Honey! I'm Home, where he played a character named Skunk. He won a silver medal on GUTS in 1992. In the year 1992, McLean was recruited by producer Lou Pearlman and became a member of the Backstreet Boys. The other members of the band were Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough, and Kevin Richardson. The Backstreet Boys went on to become one of the top-selling bands with over 40 million albums sold in the U.S. and 90 million worldwide.

Next, came Kevin. When they heard his voice, they knew it was a perfect fit for the group and hired him on the spot. Now the Backstreet Boys consisted of Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Alex McLean and Kevin Richardson. Lou felt the group needed one more member to add more harmony to the group. Kevin explained that he had a cousin, also from Kentucky, who was a typical “boy next door.” He had sung in his church before and sung mostly gospel music. On May 16, 1993, the boys waited at the Orlando Airport for Brian to get off his plane. So the Backstreet Boys got their first gig at Seaworld in Orlando.

The Backstreet Boys moved on to be a household name all over the world and by 2003, they’ve had a decade together winning Grammy’s and having countless fans all over the world. They’ve released six albums total, Backstreet Boys, Backstreet Boys(Europe, Germany only, etc), Backstreet’s Back, Millennium, Black and Blue and Chapter One: The Greatest Hits. Despite the fame and fortune, AJ McLean dived into a deep depression. His best friend became a bottle of Jack Daniels and he smoked pot, and much more. There was nothing anybody could do. Finally, Kevin knocked some sense into him and started screaming at him, he even knocked down his door and AJ finally realized… he needed help.

In July of 2001, AJ checked himself into rehab in Arizona. AJ now leads a good life and has been sober for 3 year. He plans to continue sobriety and make a solo album. He relapsed and started all over again and is now sober since 4 years. His anniversary is Oct. 23 every year if he not relaps again.

In December 2003, AJ appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show with his mother and talked about his recovery from alcoholism, depression, and drug abuse. The biggest surprise of the show was when Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, and Nick Carter appeared and talked about their experiences with his addictions. They offered their support for his rehabilitation. This reunion of Backstreet boys happened after almost two years. The band reunited again for a world tour in 2004 and released their comeback album Never Gone on June 14, 2005.

AJ has also performed in rock/metal clubs around New York under his alter ego, Johnny No Name. He has established a foundation called the JNN Foundation to raise funds for diabetes research and causes like introducing music programs into schools.

AJ as he was known was one of the popular members of the group, and was regarded as the one who finishes up the songs. He sang the songs I Want It That Way, Shape Of My Heart, Drowning, Larger Than Life, and Don't Wanna Lose You Now. He was also one of the guys to start the songs like Get Another Boyfriend, The Call, Incomplete and used his humming ability in the intros for I Want It That Way and Drowning. He was the co-singer with lead vocals in all the Backstreet boys' singles except in As Long As You Love Me, and Anywhere For You.

In March 2008, McLean performed his first two solo shows (as himself) at the Anaheim House of Blues and The Roxy in Los Angeles.

Angelina Jolie Biography

NAME: Angelina Jolie

Nickname : Angie, Catwoman, Ange, AJ

Height : 5' 8" (1.73 m)

OCCUPATION: Activist, Film Actress

BIRTH DATE: June 04, 1975 (Age: 36)

EDUCATION: Beverly Hills High School

PLACE OF BIRTH: Los Angeles, California

Actress, humanitarian. Born Angelina Jolie Voight on June 4, 1975 in Los Angeles, California, to actor Jon Voight and actress Marcheline Bertrand. She rose to stardom in the 1990s. She began acting at a young age, studying at the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute while in her early teens. Jolie later attended New York University.

At the age of 16, Angelina split up with her punk rocker boyfriend, and decided to revive her childhood dreams of becoming an actress. She moved into an apartment opposite her mother, and secured her first on-stage role, as a German S&M dominatrix! For the first time ever, she also began to make the peace with her father. She realised that when it came to acting, he had a great deal to teach her. With her braces and glasses gone, she even succeeded in landing work as a model, and even appeared in the video for Meat Loaf’s 'Rock’n’Roll Dreams Come Through'. She also appeared in promo videos for Lenny Kravitz and the Rolling Stones.

Her first film was, to be put mildly, unremarkable; a supporting role as a human- machine hybrid in the 1993 "Cyborg II: Glass Shadows".

However her second film and first lead role in 1995 could be described as a milestone for her, not only because she got recognition in the film industry, but also because the venture put her in the company of free-spirited British actor, Lonny Lee Miller. After a brief courtship, the co-stars got married. Angelina ignored the customary white wedding dress and made a statement by wearing black rubber pants and a shirt that had inscribed across it, in blood, the groom's name.

More films followed, such as the 1996 "Legs" a very dynamic and powerful adaptation of the Joyce Card Oates novel "Foxfire". Also in 1996 "Love in all there is" and in 1997 she starred in "Playing God" alongside David Duchovny.

Her animated portrayal of Cornelia Wallace in the 1997 TV movie "George Wallace" garnered her a Best supporting Actress Golden Globe and an Emmy nomination.

But her stardom was truly set ablaze by another electrifying portrayal, this time as the drug-addicted AIDS-afflicted model Gia Cavangi in the 1998 HBO production "Gia". "Gia" netted her a second Golden Globe statuette and another Emmy nomination.

As an acclaimed actress the offers for more challenging roles came flooding in. In 1999 she co-starred with Billy Bob Thornton (her second husband) in the comedy "Pushing Tin" and in the same year she tackled a headline role in "The Bone Collector" alongside Denzel Washington.

Angelina pushed emotional, physical and mental boundaries to the limits in her strong turn as a seductive sociopath in "Girl, Interrupted" - a starring vehicle for Winona Ryder - that was based on author Susanna Kaysen's best selling account of her own two-year confinement in a psychiatric hospital. Perhaps not surprisingly Jolie's full-tilt performance in the coveted supporting role was rewarded with a Golden Globe, not to mention a Best Supporting Actress Oscar.

By 2000, Angelina Jolie had three Golden Globes and an academy Award on the mantelpiece. On May 5th, that same year, Jolie married actor Billy Bod Thornton; a marriage that ended however in divorce in 2003. During that time Angelina Jolie Voight made big headlines again with news about her transformation to the highly conspicuous Lara Croft in "Tomb Raider, the Movie".

In 2002 she also appeared in the romantic comedy, "Life or Something Like," directed by Stephen Herek, where she plays a television reporter in a quest to find the meaning of life. And the following year she filmed the sequel to Tomb Raider - "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life."

She next starred in the thriller, "Taking Lives," with Ethan Hawke in 2004, a year after portraying a United Nations relief worker in the provocative drama, "Beyond Borders." In 2005, the actress co-starred with Brad Pitt in an amusing remake, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." She also appeared in Oliver Stone's ancient Greece epic, "Alexander," and action/adventure "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" with Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow. She lent her voice to animated feature "Shark Tale."

In 2006, she appeared in Robert De Niro's "The Good Shepherd," a film about the early history of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as seen through the eyes of Edward Wilson, played by Matt Damon. She played Margaret Russell, Wilson's neglected wife. The following year, Jolie made her directorial debut with the documentary "A Place in Time," which captures life in 27 locations around the globe during a single moment in time. The film was premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.

In the same year, Jolie starred as Mariane Pearl in Michael Winterbottom's documentary-style drama, "A Mighty Heart," about the 2002 kidnap and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in Pakistan. The film earned Jolie her fifth Golden Globe nomination and her third Screen Actors Guild Award nomination. She also played Grendel's mother in Robert Zemeckis' animated epic, "Beowulf."

In 2008, Jolie co-starred alongside James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman in the action movie "Wanted." In the same year she provided the voice of Master Tigress in the animated movie "Kung Fu Panda." She also took on the lead role in "Changeling," a drama by Clint Eastwood. She played Christine Collins, who is reunited with her kidnapped son in 1928 in Los Angeles, only to realize the boy is an imposter.

In 2010, Jolie starred in the thriller "Salt" as CIA agent Evelyn Salt, who goes on the run after she is accused of being a KGB spy. That same year she played opposite Johnny Depp in "The Tourist."

In 2011, she again provided the voice of Master Tigress in box office hit "Kung Fu Panda 2." This same year she directed "In the Land of Blood and Honey," a love story set during the Bosnian war. The film features actors from the region and was filmed in English and Serbo-Croat.

Jamie Hince Celebrity

Name: Jamie Hince

Born: 24/12/1968 (Age: 42)

From: Unknown

Famous for: You won't have a clue who he is

Relationship status: We have NO idea

This Anglo-American duo force you to engage deeply in their music. Where most contemporary groups hit you with an elaborately orchestrated reading of a song, attempting to erect their own perfect castle in sound, The Kills reduce rock & roll to its barest components. As much as what’s played, you hear what isn’t played, the space between the notes, music as a force that flows between the people creating it (and listening to it).

The girl, VV, stares out the guy, Hotel. He fires an intense volley of noize into her stomach. She spits back at him, an inch or two from his face, and collapses to the floor. He places the body of his guitar, now rampaging into feedback, on the ground between her knees, and angles the neck over her. She arches her back, hair flailing. The sound surges…

You don’t see chemistry like this on a stage every day of the week. The Kills, VV and Hotel, have a special relationship. They met five or six years ago in South London, while VV, née Alison Mosshart, was on tour in Europe with her band at the time, Discount. Hotel, then known as merely Jamie Hince, had just wound up his group Scarfo and was just knocking around a few ideas of his own, solo. Before Alison returned home to Florida, they exchanged numbers. They corresponded, sending each other letters, tapes (of music; of themselves talking) and occasionally splashing out on a pricey international call.

At the turn of the millennium, Alison moved in with Jamie in his flat in Gypsy Hill, London. They gave each other a stage name, and The Kills were born. In many ways, The Kills had been born the very day when they met. The band was an expression of everything they experienced together, a document of them. They were entirely self-sufficient. Jamie did most of the guitar, Alison did most of the singing, Jamie learnt to drum and laid down some backing beats on tape. What else did they need? Anyone else would be an intruder.

One summer, they hired a car and drove round the States, calling ahead to clubs in towns they fancied stopping in, and booked themselves to play there. They started recording officially in March 2002, with Liam Watson at Toe Rag. Four tracks, including their cover of “Dropout Boogie” by Captain Beefheart, were released by Dim Mak in the US as the “Black Rooster EP” that summer. Early in 2003, the three originals were added to eight other self-penned songs to make up their first album, Keep On Your Mean Side.

Says Jamie, “We’re still really proud of it. We’d talked for weeks and weeks about the songs we wanted to write. We wrote and recorded them 100 percent exactly like we wanted them. That album was the only thing I’d ever done in my life which turned out exactly as I’d intended it.”

Happily or not, their rough-edged, blues-rooted take on rock & roll collided with the new craze for garage aesthetics. They felt uneasy being lumped in with any revivalism/traditionalism. “When people compared us with all that, we always felt… not insulted, but we never felt like a garage band,” says Jamie. They were more into updating The Velvet Underground’s idea of a rock band encompassing all areas of Art and Life – the total experience. So, they toured with bands from beyond garage’s narrow parameters, most notably Primal Scream. They toured incessantly, in fact, for 18 months making the most of the freedom that their micro-operation afforded.

In early 2004, the hangover wore off, and they soon set themselves a target of completing their second album by the end of June. To that end, they withdrew from the distractions of London, repairing for a month to sleepy Benton Harbour, Michigan.

“It’s a total ghost town,” says Alison, “about an hour and a half from Chicago. There’s nothing there at all. These kids there have bought a huge abandoned building on Main Street, and done it out with an amazing recording studio.”

Jamie: “We took all this stuff with us – minidsics of us talking, guitar riffs, thousands of little tiny bits of paper, typewriters, paint and art books and journals from the past year. To start with, we weren’t thinking about songs, we were just talking about all the things that inspired us over the last months. We spent the first few days just looking at those, talking, getting into the right psyche with it. It was the perfect place to get away from it all. You’d walk and not see any glass for ten minutes. Everything was boarded up, like a dead world, then we’d go back into our HQ of art and music and ideas.”
