Crown Princess of Sweden, Duchess of Vastergotland, born Victoria Ingrid Alice Desiree, on July 14, 1977, in Stockholm, Sweden. She is the eldest child born to King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia. Princess Victoria lives at Drottningholm Palace, outside Stockholm, with her family, which also includes her brother, Prince Carl Philip (b. 1979), and her sister, Princess Madeleine (b. 1982). Prior to Princess Victoria's birth, Swedish law dictated an agnatic succession, meaning that the throne would be inherited by the first male born to the King and Queen. However, this changed in 1979, when the Swedish parliament voted to secure succession rights for the first born, regardless of gender, and Victoria became heir.

It has been reported that the king was not fond of this new law and the Queen said in an interview, that it was a problem for them, because Carl Philip was already crown prince, and that it would have been better to enforce this law in the next generation. In 1981 the Royal family moved from the big palace in Stockholm to Drottningholm palace, a palace in a suburb of Stockholm. Drottningholm seemed more attractive to the royal couple to raise their children, because it´s in opposite to Stockholm palace surrounded of a huge park . In 1982 the Queen gave birth to a third child, a daughter called Madeleine Therese Amelie Josephine.

In August 1984 Victoria had her first school day at the Smedslättsskolan in Bromma (suburb of Stockholm), accompanied by mum and dad the princess looked quite skeptically and searched for the hand of her mother. 

Courtney Love Biography



NAME: Courtney Love
OCCUPATION: Film, Songwriter, Singer
BIRTH DATE: July 09, 1964 (Age: 47)
PLACE OF BIRTH: San Francisco, California
ZODIAC SIGN: Cancer  

Singer, songwriter, actress. Born Courtney Michelle Harrison on July 9, 1964, in San Francisco, California. Outspoken, brash, and sometimes out of control, Courtney Love has become one of alternative rock's most fascinating figures. She is the widow of legendary Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain as well as an accomplished solo artist in her own right. Love, however, has made more headlines for her outrageous exploits than her talent.

The year before Hole's album release, Love met Kurt Cobain from the band Nirvana at the Satyricon club in Portland. They later ran into each other at another show in 1991. Two months after the release of Nirvana's huge hit album, Nevermind, the couple started up a whirlwind romance. They were married on a Hawaii beach in February 1992. This was her second marriage, having been wed very briefly to James Moreland in 1989. In August 1992, the couple welcomed their first and only child, daughter Frances Bean. As the wife of an alternative rock icon, Love received a boost to her own music career, with major record labels suddenly began to take more serious notice of Love's work.

Early into the millennium, Hole broke up, and Love took some supporting roles in films such as Trapped (2002), but her rocky past and propensity toward drug addiction eventually caught up with her, sending her through a whirlwind of numerous health and legal issues.

After unsuccessful stints in and out of drug rehabilitation centers, Love was ordered by the L.A. county court to three months in lock down rehab, which came to an end in 2006. Love soon after released a scrapbook-like diary recounting her life, titled "Dirty Blonde: The Diaries of Courtney Love", and continued writing music, testifying her sobriety to the press and public.



Courteney Cox Biography



Birth Name : Courteney Bass Cox 
Date of Birth : 15 June 1964, Birmingham, Alabama, USA 
Height : 5' 5" (1.65 m) 
Occupation : Actress    

Born Courteney Bass Cox in Birmingham, AL on June 15, 1964, she was the daughter of contractor Richard Cox and his wife, Courteney Bass, for whom she was named. She, her older sisters, Virginia and Dottie, and older brother, Richard Jr., were raised in Mountain Brook, an affluent suburb of Birmingham, and enjoyed a happy childhood until her parents split in 1974 and her father relocated to Panama City, FL. Her mother's subsequent marriage to New York businessman Hunter Copeland was a source of considerable turmoil for Cox. The teenager found solace in scholastic activities at Mountain Brook High School, including cheerleading, tennis and swimming. She also made her first inroads into modeling through an advertisement for a local store.

While modeling, she attended acting classes, as her real dream and ambition was to be an actress. In 1984, she landed herself a small part in one episode of "As the World Turns" (1956) as a young débutante named Bunny. Her first big break, however, was being cast by Brian De Palma in the Bruce Springsteen video "Dancing in The Dark". In 1985, she moved to LA to star alongside Dean Paul Martin in "Misfits of Science" (1985). It was a flop, but a few years later, she was chosen out of thousands of hopefuls to play Michael J. Fox's girlfriend, psychology major Lauren Miller in "Family Ties" (1982).

In 1989, "Family Ties" (1982) ended, and Cox went through a lean spell in her career, featuring in unmemorable movies such as Mr. Destiny (1990) with Michael Caine. Fortunes changed dramatically for Cox, when in 1994, she starred alongside Jim Carrey in the unexpected hit Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), and a year later she was cast as Monica Geller on the hugely successful sitcom "Friends" (1994). It was this part that turned her into an international superstar and led to an American Comedy Award nomination. In 1996 Cox starred in Wes Craven's horror/comedy Scream (1996/I) . This movie grossed over $100 million at the box office, and won Cox rave reviews for her standout performance as the wickedly bitchy and smug TV reporter Gale Weathers. She went on to play this character again in each of the three sequels. Not only did her involvement in this movie lead to critical acclaim, but it also led to her meeting actor husband David Arquette. He played her on-screen love interest Dewey, and life imitated art as the two fell in love for real. Their wedding took place in San Francisco, at the historic Grace Cathedral atop Nob Hill, on June 12th, 1999. Joined by 200 guests, including Cox's film star friends Liam Neeson and Kevin Spacey, the happy couple finally became Mr. and Mrs. Arquette.
