Ciara Biography

Birth Name : Ciara Princess Harris 

Date of Birth : 25 October 1985, Austin, Texas, USA 

Height : 5' 9½" (1.77 m) 

Occupations : singer-songwriter, dancer, actress, model

Ciara was born in Austin, Texas October 25, 1985. She is the only child of Carlton and Jackie Harris. Due to her father being in the United States Army she grew up on army bases in Germany, New York, Utah, California, Arizona, and Nevada. During her teens, Ciara and her family settled in Atlanta. Ciara said that watching Destiny's Child perform on a television program while staying home from school inspired her to pursue a career in music. Later on, Ciara would join a girl group called Hearsay and worked on her songwriting. 

The 18-year-old beauty from Atlanta is the latest multi-talented scene-stealer to nudge her way to center stage with attention-grabbing vocals, irresistible songwriting and killer dance moves. 

She joined a girl group, worked on her songwriting, left the group, landed a publishing deal, and found a "music soul mate" when she met producer Jazze Pha. With Sean Garrett, the co-writer of Usher's massive hit "Yeah!," Ciara co-wrote "Goodies," and when Lil Jon heard the demo, he knew it was going to be big. LaFace released the Lil Jon-produced track in the summer of 2004, and its quick climb to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 was remarkable. With help from Pha, Garrett, and Lil Jon, Ciara released her self-titled debut in September of the same year. The follow-up singles "1, 2 Step" featuring Missy Elliott and "Oh" featuring Ludacris both broke the Top Five in the U.S. in 2005. By the end of the year she joined Gwen Stefani on tour before teaming with Bow Wow and Chris Brown for a package tour in early 2006. The Evolution, her second album, was released near the end of the year; though it debuted at the top of the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and a handful of subsequent singles ("Get Up," "Promise," "Like a Boy") placed within the Top 20 of the Hot 100, it did not perform quite as well as the debut. The May 2009 release of Fantasy Ride, her third album, was preceded by a few delays, including a pre-release single that failed to catch fire. Fantasy Ride was, nonetheless, her most star-studded album to date, featuring collaborations with Elliott and Ludacris, as well as the-Dream, Young Jeezy, Chris Brown, and Justin Timberlake. Collaborating with the-Dream developed into the album Basic Instinct, released in December 2010 and featuring the-Dream and associate Christopher "Tricky" Stewart as executive producers. 

Chyler Leigh Biography

Birth Name: Chyler Leigh Potts

Birth Place: Charlotte, NC

Date of Birth / Zodiac Sign: 04/10/1982, Aries

Profession: Actress, model

Born on April 10, 1982, in Charlotte, North Carolina, Chyler Leigh Potts -- she dropped the "Potts" when she started acting -- grew up in Virginia Beach, Virginia. At age 12, she moved to Miami, Florida, with her mother. About two years later, Chyler began modeling, having sought out the opportunity after receiving encouragement from her friends.

Boasting a pretty face, Chyler Leigh was a natural when it came to starring in ads and soon enough, she was featured in several local television commercials. Her first serious gig as an actress came in 1996, when she began cohosting the show Hall Pass. The following year she landed a brief role on a children's show called Kinetic City Super Crew.  

Chyler Leigh is probably best known as yet for the role she played in Not Another Teen Movie, a spoof comedy released in 2001 wherein she played Janey Briggs, a spin on the typecast ugly duckling character that forms part of the ensemble for typical coming-of-age teen movies. It is her only film to date where she got major exposure as an actress; her big screen debut, however, happened in 1997 when she played a small role in Kickboxing Academy.

The body of work Chyler Leigh has is more concentrated currently on television. In 1996, she acted as co-host for the teen show Hall Pass. She also had roles in Kinetic City Super Crew and Safe Harbor. TV Producer David E. Kelley, creator of The Practice and Boston Legal, put her in the cast of The Practice in 2003. Following her stint at The Practice are parts in Rocky Point and North Shore, both aired in 2005.

In Hollywood, we have seen the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Hillary Duff rise from child and teen superstardom and get lifted up to higher levels of fame as they push through their twenties. Joining their ranks is another twenty-something who is going the same path that Lohan and Duff walked on, and she is truly worth watching out for.

Christina Ricci Biography

NAME: Christina Ricci

OCCUPATION: Film Actress, Television Actress

BIRTH DATE: February 12, 1980 (Age: 31)

EDUCATION: Professional Children's School

PLACE OF BIRTH: Santa Monica, California

Actress. Born February 12, 1980 in Santa Monica, California. The youngest of four children of a lawyer father and realtor mother, Ricci attended Glenfield Middle School in Montclair, New Jersey, before enrolling at the Professional Children's School in New York City. The precocious, outspoken young actress made her feature debut as Cher's youngest daughter in Mermaids in 1990. The role proved to be a stepping stone, and Ricci landed the part of Wednesday Addams in the film adaptation of The Addams Family the following year; she reprised the role for the sequel in 1993.

Unlike many child stars, Ricci deftly handled the transition to adult roles, evidenced in her nuanced performance in 1997's The Ice Storm, in which she skillfully seduces two brothers. Subsequent roles included an abductee-turned-girlfriend in Buffalo '66 and the dark, treacherous Dedee in The Opposite of Sex, for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination.

In 2002, Ricci again produced and starred in a pet project; this time, the film "Pumpkin," a controversial dark comedy about a sorority girl who falls for a disabled man. After detouring through a slate of questionable thrillers like "Miranda" and "The Gathering," Ricci took a highly publicized stint on the final season of TV's "Ally McBeal" (Fox, 1997-2002) as the provocative young attorney, Liza Bump. She returned to the big screen as a neurotic actress who intentionally or unintentionally tortures smitten writer Jason Biggs in Woody Allen's weak "Anything Else" (2003). After a turn in "I Love Your Work" (2003), the directorial debut of her then-beau, actor Adam Goldberg, Ricci seemed back on her game, earning praise for her turn in the harrowing "Monster" (2003). Based on the life of drifter and female serial killer Aileen Wournos (Charlize Theron), the film resonated with moviegoers, and Ricci as Selby, the young lover who may or may not have turned a blind eye to Wournos' string of murders, had one of her most effective dramatic roles to date.

After a brief, almost inconsequential appearance in "Home of the Brave" (2006), a heart-wrenching tale about a National Guard unit in Iraq sent on a humanitarian mission, Ricci gave a strong performance in "Black Snake Moan" (2007), a bold, if controversial, film about a promiscuous woman trying to be rehabilitated by a God-fearing blues singer (Samuel L. Jackson) who chains her to the radiator.

Ricci's first 2008 release, the Reese Witherspoon-produced "Penelope" was a disappointing attempt at fantastical comedy that missed the mark of masters of the genre like Tim Burton. Forced to wear a pig snout through the majority of the film, it did little for Ricci's image, as it marked yet another outcast teen role for the nearly 30-year-old actress.
