Janice Dickinson Biography

Name : Janice Dickinson

Date of Birth : 17 February 1953

Place of Birth : Brooklyn, New York, USA

Height : 5' 10''

Nationality : American

Profession : Model, Actress

Janice Dickinson was one of the brashest, wildest supermodels ever. As the child of a violent, pedophiliac father and a pill-popping mother, Janice Dickinson grew up hearing her father's "You'll never amount to nothing!" Determined to become a raging success, Janice Dickinson went to New York City and began calling modeling agencies. It was the 1970s, and the ideal models were blond "girls next door" like Cheryl Tiegs, but Janice Dickinson was a self described "Polish-mutt niggerlips." She was turned down by Eileen Ford -- "Those lips!" -- but ended up going to Paris after Lorraine Bracco told her photographer boyfriend that she liked Dickinson's look. Janice Dickinson became a huge success in Europe, and returned to New York City in 1978. It was the era of Studio 54 and Dickinson partied with the likes of Truman Capote, Andy Warhol, and John Belushi. She seduced the most famous ladies' men, drank every drink and snorted or inhaled every drug. While foggy headed, Janice Dickinson fell off a catwalk and onto Sophia Loren. Dickinson took revenge on Ford by signing with her agency and then jumping ship to Elite when she became established in the US. On her way out the door, she reportedly told Ford, "It's me, big-lipped Janice. I'm going to Elite. I don't like you, I've never liked you."

Dickinson's career trajectory was copied by a younger model from Philadelphia named Gia Carangi, who was the toast of the fashion world for a time before substance abuse problems resulted in her death from AIDS in 1984. Early in her career, Carangi was sometimes referred to as "the next Janice Dickinson," and a young Cindy Crawford was tagged as "the next Gia Carangi" as the trend toward models who better reflected American demographics became the norm.

Dickinson commanded high rates when she was at the top of her game in the early 1980s, working for such designers as Gianni Versace and Calvin Klein. Her autobiography asserts that she coined the term "supermodel" to describe herself long before it came into common usage, but it had been used at least as early as the mid-1970s to describe Margaux Hemingway and Veruschka von Lehndorrf, who were then segueing into film careers. Supermodel or not, Dickinson maintains she was a pioneer in her field. "I was the first to do editorial, runway, TV commercials, spokesperson and catalogs," she explained to Newsweek interview with Nicki Gostin. "Those are five separate categories."

Janet Jackson Biography

NAME: Janet Jackson

OCCUPATION: Singer

BIRTH DATE: May 16, 1966 (Age: 45)

PLACE OF BIRTH: Gary, Indiana

ZODIAC SIGN: Taurus

Singer, songwriter, actress. Born May 16, 1966, in Gary, Indiana. The youngest of nine children born to Joseph Walter Jackson and his wife, Katherine, Jackson grew up in the affluence of a show business family.

Her five brothers—Jackie, Tito, Marlon, Jermaine, and Michael—signed a contract with Motown Records in 1968 and would go on to rule the charts as The Jackson Five, with such hits as "I Want You Back," "Stop, the Love You Save," "ABC," and "Dancing Machine."

In late 1969, Jackson took her daughters Rebbie, LaToya, and Janet, and her youngest son, Randy, to join her husband in Los Angeles, where they had moved to further the band's career. (Tito's twin brother, Brandon, had died within 24 hours of the twins' premature birth in 1957.)

The Jackson children were raised in the Jehovah's Witness faith, as Katherine Jackson had been baptized as a Jehovah's Witness in 1963. LaToya Jackson famously chronicled their tumultuous childhood—including charges of physical and sexual abuse by Joseph Jackson—in her tell-all autobiography, but Janet and others of her siblings disputed LaToya's account. The tensions within the family certainly increased on account of Michael Jackson's emergence as a solo artist and a superstar beginning in the early 1970s.

Janet was determined to make this happen again. She then recorded "Rhythm Nation 1814". This time it sold 9 million copies in the U.S. - a bigger hit than "Control"! She happened to fall in love with a dancer named René Elizondo, Jr. from one of her sister's, LaToya Jackson's music video and later secretly married him in March of 1991. That same year she got a star on the Hollywood walk of fame! Janet went to work on her fifth album simply called "Janet.". It was her biggest hit to date selling over 10 million copies in the U.S. alone and includes her biggest hit single to date, "That's The Way Love Goes". Two years later she released a Greatest Hits album "Design of a Decade" which included two new hits "Runaway", and "Twenty-Foreplay". Her seventh album "The Velvet Rope" clarified her pop culture status.

Janelle Monae Biography

NAME: Janelle Monáe Robinson

OCCUPATION: Songwriter, Singer

BIRTH DATE: December 01, 1985 (Age: 26)

EDUCATION: American Musical and Dramatic Academy

PLACE OF BIRTH: Kansas City, Kansas

Singer. Janelle Monáe Robinson was born on December 1, 1985, in Kansas City, Kansas. Her mother was a janitor and her father was a garbage truck driver who struggled with drug addiction throughout Monáe's childhood. "I come from a very hard working-class family who make nothing into something," she says. Monáe's hardscrabble background and early experiences with the perils of drug addiction inspired her intense drive to succeed.

"I've never forgotten where I come from," she says. "It's crazy, but I really want to be the one to show everyone back home that it can be done. And not by selling drugs but by being passionate about the right thing—and the right things will come your way." She pays homage to her parents with a signature black-and-white tuxedo she wears for every performance. "I call it my uniform," she explained. "My mother was a janitor and my father collected trash, so I wear a uniform too."

In 2007, Monáe released her first solo work, titled Metropolis. It was originally conceived as a concept album in four parts, or "suites", which were to be released through her website and mp3 download sites. After the release of the first part of the series, Metropolis: Suite I (The Chase) in mid-2007, these plans were altered following her signing with Sean "Diddy" Combs's label, Bad Boy Records, later in the year. The label gave an official and physical release to the first "suite" in August 2008, which was retitled Metropolis: The Chase Suite (Special Edition) and included two new tracks. The EP was generally well-received by critics, garnering Monáe a 2009 Grammy nomination in the Best Urban/Alternative Performance for her single "Many Moons", festival appearances and opening slots for the indie pop band Of Montreal.

Jane Seymour Biography

Birth Name : Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina Frankenberg

Date of Birth : 15 February 1951, Hayes, Hayes and Harlington, Middlesex, England, UK

Height : 5' 4" (1.63 m

Occupation : Actress

Actress. Born Joyce Penelope Wilhemina Frankenberg on February 15, 1951 in Wimbledon, England, Seymour is best known for her performances in made-for-television dramas. Seymour earned considerable popular acclaim for her portrayal of Dr. Michaela Quinn, a Boston physician who moves to the post-Civil War frontier, on the hit CBS series Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman.

Seymour, the eldest of three daughters, was raised on the outskirts of London. Her father, John Frankenberg, was a Polish obstetrician and her mother, Mieke, a former Red Cross nurse. Her first love was ballet and she trained rigorously toward a career in that field. She made her professional debut at the age of 13 with the London Festival Ballet. She then entered the Arts Educational Trust to receive additional instruction. Three years later, after a performance with the Kirov Ballet, Seymour suffered knee injuries that effectively ended her dancing career.

From her early TV starring roles, Bathsheba in "The Story of David" (1976), Eva Meyers in "Seventh Avenue" (1977), undercover journalist Laura Cole in "Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders" (1979) and Cathy and Kate Ames in "East of Eden" (1981), Seymour frequently played the classy tart. She continued her persona of the gilded harlot in the 1980s as a French ambassador's wife in the miniseries "Crossings" (1986), opposite Michael Caine in the CBS mini "Jack the Ripper" (1988) offered a star turn as Natalie in the follow-up to "The Winds of War", "War and Remembrance" (1988 and 1989), and played an amnesia victim in "Sidney Sheldon's Memories of Midnight" (1991). Her film work has been somewhat lackluster in comparison, beginning with such action, science fiction and fantasy genre projects, such as a comely princess in 1977's "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger" and 1980's cult classic time-travel romance "Somewhere in Time" opposite Christopher Reeve (she later named one of her twin sons, Kris, after her close friend Reeve), but later floundering in ABC's 1978 sci-fi series "Battlestar Galactica" (as Apollo's doomed paramour Serina); 1980s' "Oh Heavenly Dog" opposite Chevy Chase and canine superstar Benji; and the Tom Selleck heist film "Lassiter" (1984).

Jaime Pressly Biography

Birth Name : Jaime Elizabeth Pressly

Date of Birth : 30 July 1977, Kinston, North Carolina, USA

Height : 5' 5" (1.65 m)

Profession : Actress; model

A model-turned-actress who has grown well in her effort to gain a degree of prominence onscreen, Jaime Lynn Pressly sure is another fine representation of her ilk in showing the hidden quality also potentiality of a model to capably make successful transition into the acting world. Initially began to perform as a dancer and gymnast, Jaime was born on July 30, 1977 in Kinston, North Carolina to a classical dance instructor named Brenda Sue Smith and James Liston Pressly, a used car salesman who also ran a chain of laundries. Though spent about 11 years to consistently develop her skills in those two fields, her major interest actually laid in another that is modeling so it was not really surprising to then see the girl putting all of her focus to the business at last. Thus signed to a local modeling agency at her early teens, she amazingly managed to build a glowing career in quite a short time, becoming a spokesperson for International Cover Model Search while gracing some covers of prestigious adolescent magazines by the age of 14.

Her willingness to spoof her own image worked to her advantage in comedies like "Best Actress" (2000), as a softcore starlet nominated for an Oscar; "Joe Dirt" (2001) and "Tomcats" (2001). She even netted an MTV Movie Award nomination for her portrayal of a venal and malapropism-spouting cheerleader in "Not Another Teen Movie" (2001). Fewer people saw her play a vengeful scientist opposite Tom Sizemore, Steven Seagal, and Dennis Hopper in "Ticker" (2001) or a teen imperiled by demons in the inept horror feature "Pinata: Survival Island" (2002), but she gained further exposure by playing a lovelorn mermaid on a 2002 episode of "Charmed" (The WB, 1998-2006), as well as in ad campaigns for Liz Claiborne and a stint with the popular burlesque troupe the Pussycat Dolls.

Despite regular work and a degree of fame, Pressley had yet to find the perfect vehicle for her talents that would push her to the next level. It was not for a lack of trying - between 2002 and 2005, she appeared in almost every genre of film - from comedies (2005's "Death to the Supermodels," which she also produced), horror flicks (2005's "Cruel World," which pitted lunatic reality show castoff Edward Furlong against an unwilling cast of victims), action movies (2004's dreary "Torque," in which she played a venal biker girl), and even family features (the bizarre "Karate Dog" in 2004). TV offered her more opportunities, and she impressed with a recurring role as a sassy dental assistant on "The Happy Family" (NBC, 2003-04) opposite John Laroquette and Christine Baranski, as well as a well-received turn as Linda Bork, first wife to Evel Knievel (George Eads) in John Badham's 2004 biopic about the daredevil rider. The following year, she was top-billed in a feature film version of the popular video game "DOA: Dead or Alive," which cast her as an American wrestler who competes in an international fighting competition. The feature was released in 2007 to little acclaim.

Succumbing to the pressures of modeling, King got hooked on drugs, becoming a steady heroin addict until her photographer boyfriend died from an overdose in 1997.

Effervescent model Jaime King parlayed the palpable personality of her fashion shots into a spin-off career in film and television beginning in 2001, when she was seen in small but memorable roles in Michael Bays' "Pearl Harbor" (2001) and Ted Demme's "Blow" (2001). King was used effectively in supporting roles in dark, stylized actioners like "Sin City" (2005) and "The Spirit" (2008) and in low-budget horror films, she was entrusted with the lead as a damsel in distress or sexy criminal on the run. King was also a natural in comedy, and in addition to supporting roles in low-brow hits like "White Chicks" (2004), maintained a steady presence in primetime with recurring roles on sitcoms including "The Class" (CBS, 2006-07). One of the more naturally talented and likable of the crop of the era's "actress-turned-models," King injected some much-needed personality into often one-dimensional supporting roles.

Name : Jacquetta Wheeler

Date of Birth : 16 October 1981, London, England, UK

Height : 6' 2" (1.88 m)

Occupation : Model

This London girl with the face that launched a thousand ads was born on October 16, 1981, in England, to parents Stuart and Tessa. Stuart was a successful entrepreneur and Tessa an established photographer, and Jacquetta's upbringing was a comfortable one. Her childhood was relatively uneventful until the age of 15, when her potential as a model was recognized.

In 1997, while visiting the Wheeler's vacation home in Tangiers, Morocco, Italian designer Stephan Jansen was introduced to Jacquetta. He saw that she possessed something special -- not just a pretty face, but that model oomph.

It seemed she was destined for the life. Later, a photographer stopped her on the street and shot her for the world's holy book of style, French Vogue. That shoot got her a fat contract with uber-brand Gucci, and, just like that, Jacquetta was a hit. British fashion beacon The Face magazine named her "Model of the Millenium" in 1999, and three years later she was listed as one of the highest-paid supermodels in the UK.

In 2003, Karl Lagerfeld commented: "She is one of the greatest models working today. Her face is like a Roman vase - not a standard beauty, but a modern anti-beauty."

In April 2004, the Sunday Times list of Britain's richest young people put Jacquetta Wheeler at 73rd place with a fortune of £4 million.

Best known as: Brazilian model

Izabel Goulart was born on October 23, 1984, in São Carlos, Brazil.

Izabel Goulart is the kind of woman who populates male fantasies. That’s because this 5’9” Brazilian knockout has deliciously long limbs that seemingly go on forever. Combine that with her surprisingly curvaceous 32.5-23.5-35 dimensions and it's easy to see why she’s one of Victoria’s Secret’s most promising new models.

Slender, dark-haired and just a little severe, Izabel Goulart had a breakthrough year in 2005 when she made her first appearance on the popular annual Victoria's Secret Fashion TV special.

Her charming turn opposite Ryan Reynolds in the surprise low-budget romantic comedy hit "Definitely, Maybe" (2008) led to the actress' headlining role in the chick-lit based "Confessions of a Shopaholic" (2009), where her energy, sass and laser quick comic timing heralded the arrival of a fresh new leading lady.

Isabel Lucas Biography

Name : Isabel Lucas

Date of Birth : 29 January 1985, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Nickname : Izzy

Height : 5' 6" (1.68 m)

Occupation : Actress

Isabel was born in Melbourne, Australia. Her father is Australian and her mother is Swiss. When she was age 6, her family moved to Switzerland for a year. They moved back to Melbourne for a while before moving to a very small mining town in the Northern Territory (population 1,000). Along with her sister, she attended the Jabiru Area School, which included both white and Aboriginal children.

In October 2007, Lucas was part of a group of 30 people from Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (including American actress Hayden Panettiere and Australian Surfing Instructor Vaya Phrachanh) who took part in a protest against whaling in Taiji, Wakayama, Japan. The group paddled out on surfboards to the whales to attempt to stop the hunt, but they were forced to turn around after being intercepted by one of the fishing boats. They drove straight to Osaka airport and left the country to avoid being arrested for trespassing by the Japanese police.

Lucas enrolled in the Victorian College of Arts but had never pursued commercial roles until she was spotted at the Port Douglas market by Sharron Meissner, a Sydney theatrical agent. She auditioned for the role of Kit Hunter in Home and Away (now played by Amy Mizzi); although the producer of the show, Julie McGauran, felt that role was not right for Isabel, she was sufficiently impressed to have a new character, Tasha Andrews, created for her. Lucas won a Logie Award (for new popular talent) for her performance on the program. Playing Tasha Andrews on Home and Away was Lucas' first television role. She also appeared in an American television commercial for Crest toothpaste. Lucas is currently working on her film debut, the upcoming vampire thriller Daybreakers, set for release in January 2010 and starring Ethan Hawke. Lucas has been cast as Gwen in the Steven Spielberg World War II miniseries, The Pacific.
