What did a gal like me do before Rachel Maddow? For one, I rarely tuned in to cable news shows. My day job consists of knowing what is going on in the world, so the last thing I needed was some too loud, too cocky pundit shouting at me about his opinion on the day’s events. No thanks — I have columnists and political blogs to read for that.

Like many of my fellow Maddow addicts, I find her funny, brilliant and (obviously) attractive. When her ratings skyrocketed making hers the most-viewed show on MSNBC, interviews with were plentiful. From lesbian blogs to the New York Times — everyone wanted to know Maddow’s story, and she told it many times.

We quickly learned of her accidentally coming out to her parents in a school newspaper article, her AIDS activism, how she met her longtime partner, Susan Mikula, her Rhodes Scholar status and how her experience with Air America led to her MSNBC gig.

Sure, we know a lot, but we Maddow-addicts want more!So, imagine our surprise when we heard of a new-ish book titled Rachel Maddow: A Neowonk Guide to the Leftist, Lesbian Pundit. Christine Badowski, writer for the Chicago-based LGBT newspaper The Windy City Times was as excited as many were: She ordered the book online, was giddy when the UPS man came to her door and, though she was disappointed with how small the book was, read it anyway.

“Trust me when I say there is nothing new is this book,” Badowski wrote in a review published on the Windy City Times website this week. “If you've ever watched MSNBC; Googled Maddow or her partner Susan Mikula; or read any magazine article about either of them, you've read this book. Quotes are completely taken from other sources and noted throughout. Even information about Maddow's early days in California is all taken from other sources. And forget about being able to justify the purchase because you can ogle at some good pictures of Maddow. There's not one in the book."

I suppose you know you’re a celebrity when writers with names like Xander Cricket capitalize on your fame by writing a poorly researched fluff book about you. Fortunately for me, I judged this book by its cover and didn’t bother ordering it. (Call me a snob, but I refuse to purchase a book with such a disgusting font on its cover.).The lawsuit, which is being handled by Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, seeks more than $50 million in damages for the misrepresentation the Christian minister.

Dean's complaint stems from comments he made on a radio show earlier this year that Maddow later referenced on her show in May.The minister claims that his on-air statement: "Muslims are calling for the execution for homosexuals in America, this was just released yesterday and it shows you that they themselves are upholding the laws that are even in the Bible, the Judeo Christian God. They seem to be more moral than even the American Christians do" was edited out of context.

 "It was Bradlee's intent to focus attention on the issue, not to advocate harm to anyone," You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International said in a statement released to WorldNetDaily. "MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and others seized on and accused Dean on her show of supporting the killing of homosexuals, as is the practice in some radical Islamic countries. This seriously has harmed Dean and the ministry, who pride themselves on respect and love for all people."Niether MSNBC nor Maddow have yet to issue a response.

Why is She famous
Rachel Maddow is a television and radio host who has become one of the most recognizable political pundits of her generation, thanks primarily to her appearances on several top-rated programs and her work on The Rachel Maddow Show (which is actually two separate entities on radio’s Air America and TV’s MSNBC).

70 Sex  Appeal
Though she’s been out since her teens, Rachel Maddow has managed to keep a very tight lid on her private life -- with one notable exception: Back in 1999, Rachel Maddow took on a job doing yard work for an artist named Susan Mikula, and the two began a relationship shortly after. It’s worth noting, however, that Rachel Maddow has never allowed her sexuality to define her identity or her work, as she possesses an open, surprisingly lighthearted demeanor that ensures she holds appeal for both sexes. And while she’ll probably never be mistaken for a drop-dead gorgeous beauty, Rachel Maddow does come off as a girl-next-door type that one can’t help but relate to -- which has certainly proved instrumental in her on-air accessibility and subsequent success.

Michael C. Hall Biography Current News Profile Girl Friend Wife Children Nude Relationships Imdb Family Pictures Wallpaper Online Video.

Date of Birth : 1 February 1971, Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
Birth Name : Michael Carlyle Hall
Height : 5' 10½" (1.79 m)

Mini Biography
Michael C. Hall is a North Carolina native and graduate of NYU's Master of Fine Arts program in acting. His most recent performance was on Broadway as the emcee in "Cabaret." Hall has previously starred in nearly a dozen major off-Broadway plays, including "Macbeth" for the New York Shakespeare Festival, "Cymbeline" for the New York Shakespeare Festival at Central Park's Delacorte Theater, "Timon of Athens" and "Henry V" at the Public, "The English Teachers" for Manhattan Class Company, "Corpus Christi" at the Manhattan Theatre Club, and "Skylight" at the Mark Taper Forum.

Despite a resume consisting of experience exclusive to the theater, Michael C. Hall quickly became a recognizable figure on the small screen, establishing himself in chameleon-like fashion in diverse and often contradictory roles that earned the young actor a strong and loyal following, particularly with his breakthrough performance as the uptight gay mortician David Fisher on "Six Feet Under" (HBO, 2001-05). Prior to HBO's darkly comic take on dysfunctional families, Hall was a vaunted thespian best known for taking over Alan Cumming's role as the sexually insinuating emcee in a Broadway production of "Cabaret" - a stark contrast to his part on "Six Feet Under" and to the actor himself. Hall's penchant for playing conflicting characters enabled him to engage his imagination and breath life into unique creations far different from most others seen on television or in film, making him a much-sought after actor. This knack culminated with his portrayal of a serial killer on "Dexter" (Showtime, 2006- ), a darkly comic twist on a classic genre that elevated Hall to a well known commodity.

Hall was born on Feb. 1, 1971 and raised in Raleigh, NC, as an only child. His dad, an employee of IBM, died from prostate cancer when Hall was only 11 years old; his mom, a guidance counselor, earned her doctorate in education after Hall's father passed. Early on in life, Hall discovered acting, cutting his teeth in "What Love Is" while in the second grade. When he was in fifth grade, he began singing in a boy's choir, then graduated to musicals in high school, performing in all the old standards - "The Sound of Music," "Oklahoma!" and "Fiddler on the Roof." He was also a member of a chamber choir that spent 10 weeks touring Austria. After graduation, Hall attended Earlham College in Richmond, IN, a liberal arts school from which Hall assumed he would emerge as a lawyer. Instead, he began taking acting classes and thinking about performing as a viable, yet riskier, career.

He finished his studies at Earlham as one of only three theater majors, an unenviable position for someone looking to find acting work. Hall found some cache when he ventured to New York to attend grad school at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, earning a Master's of Fine Arts in 1996. Hall immediately scored an agent and began performing theater, landing understudy roles in "Henry V" and "Timon of Athens," before playing Malcolm in Alec Baldwin's production of "Macbeth" at the Public Theater - his first major role in New York City. From there, Hall gained wider exposure on the stage as Posthumous in "Cymbeline" and as the Apostle Peter in Terrence McNally's gay-themed take on The Gospels, "Corpus Christi." Across the continent, he appeared in David Hare's "Skylight" at the Mark Taper Forum. But his big break - on the stage at least - came when he was in a workshop performance of Stephen Sondheim's musical "Wiseguys" (later renamed "Bounce" for its Broadway run), directed by Sam Mendes, who later directed Hall in "Cabaret."

The forces of Kismet were at work, because Mendes directed "American Beauty" (1999), which was written by Alan Ball, who later created "Six Feet Under," which in turn starred Hall in the role that kick-started his onscreen career. As David Fisher, a repressed gay man coming to terms with his sexuality while struggling to run the family's mortuary business after the sudden death of their patriarch (Richard Jenkins), Hall exuded considerable chops playing the deeply conflicted, anal retentive middle sibling whose struggle with his closeted sexuality eventually transforms into acceptance through his relationship with a gay police officer (Mathew St. Patrick). Hall's performance earned the actor an Emmy nomination in 2002 for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series, while sharing two Screen Actors Guild Awards and an AFI Award in the ensemble category. During his run on "Six Feet Under," Hall found little time to do other acting, though he did occasional work on stage. In 2002, Hall was cast in a brief stint as Bill Flynn in a Broadway production of the always popular "Chicago" opposite wife, Amy Spangler. He had a thankless role as an FBI agent hunting a computer engineer (Ben Affleck) trying to recover his erased memory in John Woo's uninspired "Paycheck" (2003).

In 2005, Hall said goodbye to "Six Feet Under" when the show finished its fifth and final season. Though unsure of what his next step was, Hall was certain he did not want to jump right onto another television show - until he read the script for "Dexter" (Showtime, 2006- ), a darkly comic drama about a blood-splatter technician in the Miami Police Department who moonlights as a serial killer who hunts other killers who have managed to slip through the judicial cracks. The challenge of playing such a complex and seemingly unsympathetic character piqued Hall's interest right away, particularly Dexter's inability to express authentic human emotions, giving him the opportunity to portray one of the most controversial and talked-about television characters in recent memory. For his exquisite performance, Hall earned Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series in 2008 and 2009, as well as Golden Globe nods for best actor three years running. Returning to features, he had a co-starring turn in "Gamer" (2009), in which he played a reclusive billionaire who invents a violent video game that uses real humans (Gerard Butler) as game characters. Meanwhile, Hall delivered another exquisite performance as Dexter Morgan for the show's fourth season, which earned the actor both a Screen Actors Guild and Golden Globe win. At the same time he was supposed to be basking in the numerous award recognition, Hall publicly announced only days before the Golden Globes ceremony that he was suffering from Hodgkin's lymphoma, but that the disease had been caught at an early stage and he was reportedly in complete remission, though continuing treatment in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, he was set up for another Golden Globe win after being nominated in the same category in December 2010 - the same month that news broke of his wife and co-star Jennifer Carpenter filing for divorce.

Jalen Rose Biography Current News Profile Girl Friend Wife Children Nude Relationships Imdb Family Pictures Wallpaper Online Video.

Date of Birth : 30 January 1973, Detroit, Michigan, USA
Birth Name : Jalen Anthony Rose
Nickname : The Natural
Height : 6' 8" (2.03 m)

Mini Biography
Former ESPN/ABC studio analyst and former 13-year NBA veteran Jalen Rose is one of the few professional athletes to maintain a high profile post retirement until his arrest for DUI in March 2011. Long known for his post-game quotes and great relationship with the media, Jalen continued to show his versatility in the broadcast booth, in the entertainment world and as a philanthropist until he was let go by ESPN.http://freshnewsmagz.blogspot.com/

Jalen was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, where he attended Southwestern High School and the University of Michigan. In college he was part of the legendary "Fab Five" where he and his teammates revolutionized the sport of basketball by wearing baggy uniform shorts, black socks and black shoes. The only team in Final Four history to ever start five freshmen, they led the Wolverines to back to back NCAA Championship game appearances. In 1994, Jalen was drafted in the first round by the Denver Nuggets. Jalen's most memorable NBA moments during his thirteen-year career include winning the NBA's "Most Improved Player" and "Player of the Week" awards in 2000 and "Eastern Conference Player of the Week" accolades in 2005. As a member of the Indiana Pacers, his team appeared in three straight eastern conference finals including a trip to the NBA Finals in 2000.

A philanthropist who truly gives from the heart, Jalen established the Jalen Rose Foundation to create life-changing opportunities for undeserved youth through the development of unique programs and the distribution of grants to qualified nonprofit organizations. Grants focus on education and sports and are distributed in Jalen's hometown of Detroit as well as other communities in need. More than $1 million in charitable donations have been distributed since the foundation's 2000 inception. Most recently, Jalen won the Community Champion Award from Black Enterprise for his outreach efforts in Detroit and has been nominated for the prestigious Jefferson Award.

While many basketball stars make the transition to the small screen after they hang up their basketball kicks, Jalen made the bold leap in the midst of his NBA career in 2001, becoming a multi-faceted reporter and on-air personality for Fox Sports Net's famed "Best Damn Sports Show Period." Working with the "Best Damn Sports Show Period" for six years, the budding broadcast star developed his own lifestyle-oriented "Jammin' With Jalen" segment. Shortly after retiring from basketball, Jalen - a mass communications major at U of M who ultimately earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Maryland University College - went full throttle pursuing his passion in the multi-media, sports and entertainment world, signing with ESPN/ABC as a studio analyst. Covering a wide range of current events in the landscape of sports, he's appeared on the network's flagship shows SportsCenter, Mike and Mike in the Morning, First Take and ESPNews, as well as the NBA-related shows Fast Break, Coast to Coast and Shootaround. Entering his third season as an ESPN studio analyst, Jalen will no longer continue working with the worldwide leader in sports television, not appearing in-studio and on radio regularly on their family of networks.

Jalen's familiar face and charismatic smile have landed him appearances on the big screen as himself in Cookout 2 (2010), Just Wright (2010), Barbershop and Hoop Dreams. With strong ties to the music industry as well, he has made cameos in numerous music videos including Blame It (Jamie Foxx), Trade It All (Fabolous), Hot in Here (Nelly), Good Times (Styles P), On My Block (Scarface), Move (Ludacris), I Miss My Homies (Master P), We Gon Make It (The Lox) and I Saw it Coming (PMD). Frequent appearances on BET have included 106 & Park, The Basement and BET Style. Jalen even got a chance to be a cast member on the TV series The Game this past season for the episode entitled, A Delectable Basket of Treats.

In 2007, Jalen created Three Tier Entertainment, a LA and NY based production and management company. Together with Adel Nur, former Agent at Paradigm, TTE is committed to creating an artistic haven for actors, writers and directors. TTE produces smart, provocative commercial projects for film, Television and the web. Three Tier's projects are designed to have a worldwide mass appeal.

A true play-maker on the court while charming and fashionable off the court, Jalen has been recognized for his style on numerous occasions including being voted one of the NBA's best dressed players. Jalen has proved to be more than just a professional athlete making him an all-around superstar on and off the hardwood. This mogul will always be known as "The Natural."

Mini Biography
Joscelyn Eve Stoker was born on April 11, 1987, in the pastoral county of Kent, England. She spent her teen years in the rural county of Devon, where she bought her first album, Aretha Franklin's Greatest Hits, which inspired her to become a singer. At the age of 14, she auditioned for a popular BBC show, "Star for a Night" (1999).joss stone lp1joss stone hot joss stone hair joss stone album cover joss stone kiss joss stone colour me free.

Singer. Born Joscelyn Eve Stoker on April 11, 1987, in Dover, Kent, England. A lover of soul music since a young girl, Stone is known for deep throaty vocals, soulful renditions and barefoot performances. In 2002, she left home for New York City to pursue her dream and landed a deal with S-Curve CEO Steve Greenberg.

A year later at age 16, Stone released her debut album, The Soul Sessions, a collection of covers she produced in just four days. The record reached the top 5 in the U.K. and the top 40 on the U.S. Billboard Chart. The singer followed her debut with 2004's Mind, Body & Soul, a body of original work that was an even bigger success than the first. In 2005, Stone won two Brit Awards and was nominated for three Grammys.

Stone enjoyed continued success with her next effort, 2007's Introducing Joss Stone, which went gold in the United States. Colour Me Free!, released in 2009, failed to make as big of an impression as her earlier work. According to some reports, Stone was having creative differences with her record label EMI.http://freshnewsmagz.blogspot.com/2011/07/tobey-maguire-biography-current-news.html

Branching out on her own, Stone launched the Stone'd Records label in 2010. She also has explored cooperative projects. Stone joined forces with such rock and reggae stars as Mick Jagger and Damian Marley to form the group Super Heavy. The band announced in May 2011 that they will be releasing their first album later that year.

With all of her fame and fortune, Stone found herself the target of criminal plot. In June 2011, two men were arrested near Stone's country home in rural England. The pair had been planning to rob the singer and possibly injure or kill her, according to several news reports. They have been charged with conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm and conspiracy to commit robbery.

Stone remained largely unfazed by the incident. "I'm all good. People are crazy, but that's ok," she told one website. Stone releases her next album, LP1, in July 2011.

Tobey Maguire Biography Current News Profile Girl Friend Wife Children Nude Relationships Imdb Family Pictures Wallpaper Online Video.

Date of Birth : 27 June 1975, Santa Monica, California, USA
Birth Name : Tobias Vincent Maguire
Height : 5' 9" (1.75 m)

Mini Biography
Tobey Maguire's parents were 18 and 20 - and unwed - when he was born. His father, Vincent Maguire, was a cook and sometime construction worker. His mother, Wendy Brown, was a secretary and aspiring screenwriter. They split two years after his birth. This resulted in moving constantly as a youth, spending time in California, Oregon, and Washington.tobey maguire spiderman tobey maguire fattobey maguire wife tobey maguire young tobey maguire beard.

He quit school in the ninth grade and pursued acting roles. He did several commercials and bit roles on various TV shows before landing a starring role on the Fox comedy "Great Scott!" (1992). That role lasted nine weeks before the show was canceled. Although avoiding drugs and alcohol, he still is known for running with the party set, including Leonardo DiCaprio's group. Tobey is a vegetarian and studies yoga.

Actor. Born Tobias Vincent Maguire on June 27, 1975, in Santa Monica, California. Tobey Maguire's aura of youthful sensitivity and his dry, understated delivery have allowed him to corner the market on coming-of-age roles. In the late 1990s, he was a standout in a steady stream of dramatic features. With the premier of Spiderman in May of 2002, Maguire has managed to parley that early success into a shot at big-budget stardom.

Maguire's father, Vincent, and mother, Wendy, were young and unwed when he was born. Although they married soon after the birth, their relationship was short-lived and Maguire spent much of his early childhood shuttling between households in California, Washington and Oregon.

Maguire's mother, a secretary, encouraged her son to take acting lessons and soon she was escorting him through the standard circuit of Hollywood auditions. Maguire managed to cadge one- and two-line roles in such sitcoms as Roseanne and Blossom. Maguire left school in the ninth grade to devote himself to acting. He eventually landed a lead role in FOX's ill-fated Great Scott! . The show was cancelled in 1992 after nine weeks.

In 1995, Maguire auditioned for the lead in the Generation X comedy Empire Records. He was given a small part and eventually excused himself from the production, citing personal frustration. His scenes were cut from the little-seen film.

But this personal setback proved a prelude to giant professional leap forward. After a brief sabbatical from the audition circuit, later that year he appeared in Duke of Groove, a short-film which received an Oscar nomination. He then leveraged a role in Woody Allen's Deconstructing Harry (1997) and following that, a major role in the brooding, Ang Lee drama The Ice Storm (1997). Maguire’s performance as Paul Hood, the sardonic-but-sensitive son of Kevin Kline and Joan Allen, earned high praise from critics. In 1998, Maguire again played the fictive son of Joan Allen in Pleasantville, but this time, it was Maguire in the lead role.

After a small role in the film adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Maguire again played the coming-of-age card in The Cider House Rules, a wistful interpretation of John Irving's bestselling novel. The film garnered seven Academy Award nominations.

In Wonder Boys (2000), Maguire found himself playing a slightly quirkier version of the prodigal son. Cast opposite Michael Douglas, Maguire played James Leer, a precocious writing student with a flair for prevarication.

But with the release of Spiderman (2002), Maguire's days as the Holden-Caulfield-in-residence seem to be over. Reportedly paid $4 million for the title role, Maguire (with the help of a range of state-of-the-art special effects) made the transition from nerdy teen Peter Parker to comic book hero. The film, which was tied up in copyright wrangling for almost a decade, also features Kirsten Dunst and Willem Dafoe. The film netted $114 million in its opening weekend, a box-office record. The actor signed on for the sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man, for 2004. In 2006, Maguire starred in the Oscar-nominated film, The Good German. Maguire returns as Peter Parker in the third Spider-Man film opening in May 2007.

Mini Biography
One of our most exciting and versatile actresses, Selma Blair first gained our attention for her performance in Cruel Intentions (1999), a youthful retelling of the classic novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses". After graduating from high school in Michigan, Selma moved to New York City to pursue her goal of being a photographer but found her way to acting classes at The Stella Adler Conservatory and The Column Theatre.selma blair pregnant selma blair hair selma blair legs selma blair nips elma blair 2009.

Selma starred for two seasons as the title character in the WB's "Zoe" (1999) and then appeared in the hit comedy, Legally Blonde (2001) opposite Reese Witherspoon. She then starred opposite Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate in The Sweetest Thing (2002) and in two independent films that garnered her much critical acclaim: Dana Lustig's Kill Me Later (2001) and Todd Solondz's controversial Storytelling (2001).

In 2004, Selma starred in Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy (2004) and appeared in John Waters's A Dirty Shame (2004). Her other film credits include Paul Weitz's In Good Company (2004), opposite Topher Grace in Pretty Persuasion (2005), opposite Stellan Skarsgård in w Delta z (2007), in Ed Burns's Purple Violets (2007), in Robert Benton's Feast of Love (2007) starring opposite Morgan Freeman and Greg Kinnear.and Newton Thomas Sigel's award-winning short film, The Big Empty (2005) opposite Elias Koteas.

Selma's upcoming projects include Homeland Security (2008) opposite Colin Hanks, Antonio Banderas and Meg Ryan and is in production on Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008).

In 2002, Vanity Fair magazine anointed Selma Blair as one of Hollywood's next wave of stars, an honor bestowed to the acting elite. Fearless and versatile throughout her career when it came to choosing her film projects, she played everything from a ditzy prep school student to a big-breasted stripper. Blair even made an icy law student seem likeable in the comedy "Legally Blonde" (2001), the film in which audiences first took notice of her. Seven years after her blockbuster debut, she still had everyone laughing in "Kath and Kim" (NBC, 2008- ), a remake of a popular Australian sitcom, where she co-starred with TV funny gal Molly Shannon and continued to enthrall fans with her quirky beauty and comedic gifts.

Born Selma Blair Beitner on June 23, 1972 in Southfield, MI, the actress was the youngest of four girls. Her parents, Elliot and Molly Ann Beitner, divorced when she was 23; after which, she legally dropped her father's name. "I have nothing to do with my father," she said. "He is out of my life." Her mother introduced her daughters as "the brain, the athlete, the klutz and then there was Selma - the manic-depressive." Blair said she really was not that troubled, although her mom gave her a necklace with a smile on one side and a frown on the other to reflect her quick-changing moods. She attended a Jewish day school and then Cranbrook Kingswood school in Bloomfield Hills, MI before attending Kalamazoo College her freshman year, where she acted in a play titled "The Little Theater of the Green Goose."

Blair moved to New York City to pursue photography after graduating magna cum laude from University of Michigan in 1994 with a degree in photography and a minor in English, but she soon took interest in a different field - acting. Her training at the Stella Adler Conservatory of Acting and Column Theater helped her land a few small roles in the early 1990s. She auditioned for the title role in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (WB, 1997-2007; UPN, 2001-03) in 1997, but lost out to her future co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar. That same year, she had an uncredited role in "Scream 2" as Gellar's character's friend. Unfortunately, she did not receive any screen time, as it was merely her voice used during a phone call scene.

In what was regarded as her breakout role, the actress appeared in the 1999 film "Cruel Intentions," based on the classic novel, Les Liaisons Dangereuses and the Stephen Frears-directed "Dangerous Liaisons" (1988). The movie starred Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Philippe and Gellar, whom Blair shared a passionate onscreen lip lock with. The scene where Gellar's mean queen taught Blair's naïve Cecile how to French kiss won the MTV Movie Award for "Best Kiss." The wheels started turning faster for the star when she was cast as Z Bean in the twenty-something TV series "Z , Duncan, Jack and Jane" (WB, 1999-2000). The show, unfortunately, failed to connect with the audience and only lasted two seasons.

Blair formed a close friendship with her "Cruel" costar Witherspoon. They worked together again in the hilarious "Legally Blonde," playing law school archrivals. Their brunette vs. blonde clash onscreen was comical and entertaining in a Betty vs. Veronica kind of vein. "She's a little wacky," Witherspoon said of her raven-haired co-star. "But wacky in that great way, (like) a Mary Tyler Moore sort of personality. She's just one of the great comediennes of her generation." Blair continued starring in more girl-power movies in the early millennium, acting alongside Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate in the sometimes vulgar comedy "The Sweetest Thing" (2002), and playing a preppie girl about to get married in "A Guy Thing" (2003).

Even though Blair could have taken on strictly mainstream projects and been successful, she also chose cutting edge roles in critically praised independent films, such as "Kill Me Later" (2001) with Max Beesley. She took the offbeat step further in the controversial "Storytelling" (2001) from director Todd Solondz, where her troubled character was described in the movie as "a spoiled, suburban white girl with a Benetton complex." The movie's first scene took off with a bang, with Blair having raunchy sex with her onscreen boyfriend who suffers from cerebral palsy.

By the mid-2000s, Blair was one of the busiest and most in-demand actresses in Hollywood. She took on the role of Liz Sherman in Guillermo del Toro's "Hellboy" (2004). She reprised the role four years later in "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" (2008), also directed by del Toro. Yet playing a girl with pyrokinetic powers in the "Hellboy" films did not compare to her role in "A Dirty Shame" (2004). In the John Waters' comedy, the actress wore humongous prosthetic breasts to play stripper, Caprice Stickles.

Despite acting alongside a who's-who of Hollywood leading men - from Topher Grace in "In Good Company" (2004) to Edward Burns in "Purple Violets" (2007) to Greg Kinnear in "Feast of Love" (2007) - Blair's personal life was never a hot topic in tabloids, compared to other actresses of her time. She married actor and musician Ahmet Zappa, the son of the late singer-songwriter Frank Zappa, in January 2004, but they divorced in 2006. However, Blair's fashion forward style was closely followed, not only by Hollywood cameras, but also by young fashionistas who looked up to her as one of its hipster princesses. Experimenting with different looks in short periods of time, she sported everything from a Mohawk, a pixie cut and a Louise Brooksesque bob, stating that she had "no fears when it comes to my hair and clothes."

Aside from the short-lived "Z , Duncan, Jack and Jane" and a 2002 holiday-themed episode of "Friends" (NBC, 1994-2004), Blair's big screen work had filled up the majority of her resume. However some of the better parts - particularly for actresses - were becoming increasingly found on television by the turn of the millennium. So like many of her fellow film "It" girls, Blair turned her attention back to the small screen, with "Kath and Kim," co-starring with the hilarious Molly Shannon. In the series based on an Australian TV show of the same name, the twosome recreated the dysfunctional duo of a foxy 40-something mother (Shannon) and her childish and celebrity-obsessed daughter (Blair). Interestingly enough, Shannon was only eight years older than her onscreen daughter. Critics had their knives sharpened for any successful television overseas import that has been Americanized, but it was one of the more hotly anticipated series of the fall 2008 season.

Mini Biography
Best known as the fire breathing, blood splitting and larger than life co-founder of hard rock supergroup, KISS. Simmons was actually born Chaim Witz in Haifa, Israel in August, 1949 of Hungarian background and moved to New York as a young child. Like many American teenagers of the 1960s, he was influenced by a fascination with comic book super heroes, monster movies and rock and roll music, thus the teenage Simmons set about creating what he perceived as the ultimate music supergroup.gene simmons and shannon tweed split gene simmons wife gene simmons kiss gene simmons costume gene simmons family jewels gene simmons son.

Simmons eventually crossed paths with like minded musician / songwriter Paul Stanley (born Stanley Eisen) in the early 1970s, and after several failed attempts to create their dream band, they recruited fellow New Yorkers spaced out guitarist Ace Frehley (born Paul Daniel Frehley) and "do anything to make it" drummer Peter Criss (born Peter Crisscuola).

The four struggling young musicians practiced relentlessly in a rundown loft in New York City refining their music & stage show before eventually launching themselves on the New York live music scene in the early 1970s with their blitzkrieg style of hard rock, kabuki stage make up and unforgettable high energy performances. After bombarding media, TV & public relations identities with invites to their shows, Simmons and Stanley soon brokered a deal with Madison Ave executive Bill Aucoin for him to manage the band, and Aucoin soon scored KISS a record deal with the fledgling Casablanca Records & Filmworks.....and the rest as they say is KISStory!

Since their first album debuted in 1974, KISS have sold over 80 million albums and played over 2,000 shows to millions of loyal fans (known as the KISS Army) right around the globe. Never one to keep still for too long, the charismatic Simmons made his first feature film appearance as his alter ego (The Demon from KISS) in the 1978 telemovie KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (1978) (TV), which received scathing reviews in the USA from TV critics. However KISS fans internationally loved the film and it played theatrically to strong box office business in dozens of countries, and has since become something of a cult film....despite it's corny, cartoonish plot! Since KISS didn't drop wearing their distinctive make up until 1983, it was several years before Simmons appeared in front of the cameras again (this time without the Demon make up), as an evil techno-junkie killer battling Tom Selleck in the thriller Runaway (1984). Simmons has since continued to turn up in low key roles in B-grade thrillers such as Wanted: Dead or Alive (1986) and Red Surf (1990) that utilize his ability to glower and look menacingly into the camera. In addition, Simmons has appeared in minor guest roles in several TV crime shows including "Miami Vice", "Millenium" and most recently in "Third Watch".

Musician, entertainer. Born Chaim Witz on August 25, 1949 in Haifa, Israel. His mother, Flora, was a Hungarian Jew and Holocaust survivor, who watched her family die in the concentration camps when she was only 14 years old. After the end of World War II, Flora headed to Israel. It was there that she met carpenter Yeichel Witz, the man who would eventually become Chaim's father.

Yeichel and Flora's marriage began to dissolve shortly after Chaim's birth, mainly over arguments about money. Eventually, Chaim's parents agreed to separate, with Yeichel leaving for Tel Aviv to look for work. The family would never reunite, and Chaim would not see his father again.

Chaim's mother began raising him alone, and the family continued struggling in poverty. Flora found work in a coffee shop, and often left Chaim in the care of babysitters. As a result, he quickly became fluent in Turkish, Hungarian, Hebrew and Spanish, in order to communicate with caregivers.

In 1958, when Chaim was eight years old, he and his mother immigrated to New York to live with relatives in Flushing, Queens. After entering the country, Chaim changed his name to Gene, because it was easier to pronounce, and took his mother's surname of Klein. Gene quickly learned English through comic books and television, and entered the Hasidic theological seminary, called yeshiva, at the age of nine. He studied rigorously while his mother worked at a button factory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

After a year in the yeshiva, he transferred to public school in Jackson Heights. It was during this time that he began to develop an interest in music. In his autobiography, Kiss and Make-up, Simmons admits his musical interests came while watching the Beatles on television one night. He thought "If I go start a band, maybe the girls will scream at me." So, while attending Joseph Pulitzer Middle School, Simmons and a couple of friends created a band called The Missing Links in order to get the attention of their female classmates. The group, fronted by Simmons, won a school talent show, and gave Simmons a modicum of fame.

This led to a series of bands for Simmons, including Long Island Sounds and Rising Sun. Simmons maintained dreams of stardom, but he also didn't want to disappoint his mother, who urged him to get his college degree. So, after high school, Simmons headed to Sullivan County Community College to get his associate's degree in education. After spending two years there, he returned to New York City to attend Richmond College and finish up his bachelor's degree.

Shortly after graduation in 1970, Simmons' bandmate and childhood friend Steve Coronel introduced Simmons to guitarist Stanley Eisen (later known as Paul Stanley). Stanley decided to join Simmons and Coronel's band, Wicked Lester, and the group began experiencing some success on the nightclub circuit. But the band wasn't pulling in enough money and, to support his musical aspirations, Simmons held a brief stint as a sixth grade teacher in Spanish Harlem, followed by a job as an assistant at the Puerto Rican Interagency Council. Other odd jobs including time at the Kelly Agency as a temp, work as a deli cashier, a role as an assistant at Glamour and, a job at Vogue as an assistant to editor Kate Lloyd.

Kellan Lutz Biography Current News Profile Girl Friend Wife Children Relationships Imdb Family Pictures Wallpaper Online Video.

Date of Birth : 15 March 1985, Dickinson, North Dakota, USA
Birth Name : Kellan Christopher Lutz
Height : 6' 1" (1.85 m)
Trade Mark : Ripped body (as displayed in Calvin Klein X Underwear Campaign)

His mere presence sent teens worldwide into shrieking fits of excitement, yet Kellan Lutz never once lost his cool. The actor achieved cult-like fandom after playing the muscular and imposing vampire Emmett Cullen in "Twilight" (2008) and the subsequent sequels, "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" (2009) and "Eclipse" (2010), based on the best-selling novels by Stephenie Meyer.kellan lutz shirt off kellan lutz shirtless kellan lutz in prom night kellan lutz new moon kellan lutz stick it.

Prior to his fanatical following as a thirsty bloodsucker, the actor had earned his acting stripes as a struggling sitcom star opposite Lisa Kudrow on the critically-lauded but ultimately short-lived series "The Comeback" (HBO, 2005), as an Iraqi soldier on the deadly frontlines in the miniseries "Generation Kill" (HBO, 2008), and as a suburban teen visited by Freddy Krueger in his dreams in "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (2010), a remake of the horror film classic.

Lutz may not have possessed the Byronic presence of his "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson, but his portrayal of a protective and fun-loving vampire in the blockbuster film saga proved there was no shortage of talent and charisma under all the brawn.

Kellan Christopher Lutz was born on March 15, 1985 in Dickinson, ND. His family, which included six brothers and one sister, moved quite often and lived throughout the Midwest, North Dakota, and Arizona. Lutz moved to California after graduating from high school and attended Chapman University to study chemical engineering. The baby-faced yet athletic young man considered becoming a Navy SEAL for a time but eventually decided to quit school and pursue acting. While dropping out was a risk, Lutz was confident in his quest to become an actor.

With very little experience, aside from a few modeling jobs as a teenager, Lutz booked a minor appearance on the daytime soap opera, "The Bold and the Beautiful" (CBS, 1987- ). He quickly graduated to primetime with a featured role on "The Comeback," a show-within-a-show comedy series that starred Lisa Kudrow and was co-created by "Sex and the City" (HBO, 1998-2004) producer Michael Patrick King. The "Friends" (NBC, 1994-2004) alum played Valerie Cherish, a washed-up TV star who agrees to do a reality show that follows her glorious comeback to the small screen. Lutz played Chris MacNess, a handsome and underpaid actor who ends up working with Kudrow's character on a sitcom. Even though the show received Emmy Award nominations - including an acting nod for Kudrow - "The Comeback" debuted to low ratings and never gained steam. HBO dropped the series after 13 weeks on the air.

Lutz made his feature film debut in "Stick It" (2006) as a BMX biker and friend of a rebellious 17-year-old (Missy Peregrym) who, after a run-in with the cops, is forced to join a strict competitive gymnastics program. That same year, the actor landed a supporting role alongside fellow Hollywood up-and-comers Justin Long, Jonah Hill and Blake Lively in the college comedy, "Accepted" (2006). Although considered a bit of a step back for a rising actor, Lutz co-starred with the very popular Hilary Duff in a spy-themed television commercial for her fragrance "With Love Hilary Duff" that same year. However, it proved a wiser move than any agent could have foreseen. Because the promo was so cinematic in scope, it was re-released as a full-length music video in 2007 for the pop star's dance track, "With Love." The ad and accompanying video featured Lutz' character chasing Duff throughout a hotel until they end up stuck in an elevator - all of which - for just a video and TV spot - effectively showcased the actor's debonair charm and leading man potential.

In 2008, Lutz made the leap from pop singer lust object to ensemble cast of the miniseries "Generation Kill," based on journalist Evan Wright's book of the same name and co-executive produced by actor-director Ed Burns. The respectable program followed a Marine Corps special operations unit during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Lutz portrayed a soldier from the Second Platoon of the First Reconnaissance Battalion's Bravo Company, part of the first wave of the American military assault on Baghdad. "Generation Kill" was shot over a six-month period in the summer of 2007 in Namibia, Mozambique and South Africa. During that time, Lutz received a script of the feature film adaptation of Meyer's New York Times best-selling 2005 novel, Twilight and was asked to read for the role of Edward Cullen, a human-loving vampire and the "Twilight" saga's leading man. Fortunately for little-known actor Robert Pattinson, Lutz found the brooding hero too complex and depressing, and upon his return to Los Angeles, turned down the audition, as he might have given the British actor a run for his money.

"Twilight" fans - about to be coined Twi-hards" - waited with baited breath to find out who was going to cinematically bring to life the beloved lead vampire. Even after Pattinson was eventually cast, the film's producers were not quite ready to let Lutz go that easily. He was asked to play the part of Emmett, a fellow vampire and brotherly figure to Edward. The character was more in line with what the actor had sought out; someone more fun-loving and far less intense as the series' main bloodsucker. The actor underwent a physical transformation for the role, bulking up and bleaching his blond hair jet black to play the brawny vampire. Released to near-insane fanfare in 2008, "Twilight" was a commercial hit, grossing $35.7 million on its opening day. Along with cast members Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, Lutz found himself thrust into a world of "Twilight"-obsessed teens and their equally fanatic mothers who rabidly following the cast's every move. On several occasions, the actor professed his conflicted feelings toward this level of fame, yet he counted his blessings when observing the near-fanatical, clothes-ripping, screaming hordes that surrounded Pattinson on a daily basis.

Moving from the Gothic arena, the actor further cemented his heartthrob status with a recurring role on "90210" (Fox, 2008- ), a reimagining of the seminal 1990s teen drama "Beverly Hills, 90210" (Fox, 1990-2000). On the popular series, Lutz played George Evans, a high school Lacrosse player who has a rivalry with the show's lead (Tristan Wilds). "90210" also starred AnnaLynne McCord, the resident spoiled rich girl on the show. Rumors swirled that Lutz and McCord were dating after the actress showed up at the red carpet premiere for "Twilight" and celebrity magazines published photos of the couple on vacation. Neither publicly admitted they were in a romantic relationship until Lutz confirmed in November 2009 that he was very much single, to the relieved sighs of "Twilight" fans. Lutz next essayed yet another Lacrosse player in the feature film "Warrior" (2009) opposite his "Twilight" co-star, Ashley Greene.

The ever busy Lutz reprised his role of Emmett in "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," based on the second book in Stephenie Meyer's saga. The spellbinding follow-up to "Twilight" was filmed in Vancouver, Canada and Montepulciano, Italy, and one-upped the previous film with an even larger cast and more dazzling special effects. Lutz provided comic relief during a pivotal scene when Edward's human girlfriend, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), celebrates her 18th birthday with the vampire clan. Emmett handed over an empty box as a birthday present to a confused Bella, only to reveal that he had already installed a brand new sound system in her truck. Even though the scene was brief, the interaction between their two characters delighted fans of the series and set the stage for Bella toward becoming an accepted member of her lover's vampire family.

"New Moon" had not even been released in theaters yet when production began on "Eclipse" (2010), the third film in the series. Lutz' character, who had physically been the biggest presence in the Cullen clan, softened up throughout the films as he went from an intimidating brute who was standoffish towards Bella in "Twilight" to vowing to protect her from vengeful vampires by the third film. That same year, Lutz starred in a re-imagining of the 1984 slash-fest "A Nightmare on Elm Street." The actor played one of several teenagers terrorized in their own dreams by serial child killer Freddy Krueger, terrifyingly brought back to the big screen by former child actor, Jackie Earle Haley.

John Boehner Biography Current News Profile Girl Friend Wife Children Relationships Imdb Family Pictures Wallpaper Online Video.

John Boehner (bay-ner) serves as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. Elected to represent the Eighth Congressional District of Ohio for an 11th term in November 2010, John is a proven leader in the drive for a smaller, less costly, and more accountable federal government.

The second oldest of 12 brothers and sisters, John has lived in southwest Ohio his entire life. He grew up mopping floors and waiting tables at his family tavern, and played football for legendary coach Gerry Faust at Cincinnati’s Moeller High School. After graduating in 1968, he worked several jobs to pay his way through Xavier University. While working as a night janitor he met Debbie - now his wife of 37 years - and in 1977 earned his bachelor’s degree in business. 

John and Debbie raised two daughters, Lindsay and Tricia, in the northern Cincinnati suburb of West Chester where they still live today.

Before he ever made his first run for elected office – a spot on his neighborhood homeowners’ association – John ran a small business in the plastics and packaging industry. His experience in the private sector – meeting a payroll, paying taxes, dealing with government red tape – prepared him well to be a reformer in the public sector.

Elected to Congress in 1990, John and fellow members of the “Gang of Seven" took on the House establishment – Democrats and Republicans. They successfully closed the scandal-riddled House Bank, uncovered "dine-and-dash" practices at the House Restaurant, and exposed drug sales and cozy cash-for-stamps deals at the House Post Office.

In 1994, he helped secured passage of legislation allowing school districts to use their Title I funds for public school choice programs, under which parents could choose which public school their children would attend.

John was also instrumental in crafting the Contract with America. One of the Contract's cornerstones - the Congressional Accountability Act, which required Congress to live under the same rules and regulations as the rest of the nation – bears the unmistakable print of his drive to reform the House.

After Republicans won their first Congressional majority in several decades, his colleagues elected him to serve as House GOP Conference Chairman in the 104th and 105th Congress where he was a powerful voice in the fight to force Washington to stick to the strict spending limits in the Balanced Budget Act.

In 1999, as Vice-Chairman of the House Administration Committee, John joined House leaders to announce the first-ever "clean" independent audit of the House, a reform he first called for as a member of the Gang of Seven in 1992.

As chairman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce from 2001 to 2006, he co-wrote the bill establishing the first private school choice program in the District of Columbia, and worked with other reformers to ensure parental choice provisions were included in the bipartisan No Child Left Behind Act to reinforce its goal of bringing greater accountability to taxpayer-funded education programs.

In 2006, Boehner’s Pension Protection Act - the most sweeping reform of America's pension laws in more than 30 years – was signed into law, helping to ensure workers can count on their benefits when they retire.

In his role as House Republican Leader in the 110th Congress, Boehner united Republicans against job-killing bills like ObamaCare and “cap and trade” that were passed over the objections of the American people. And under his leadership, Republicans launched several efforts designed to develop better, principled solutions to the challenges facing families and small businesses. Among them: the innovative America Speaking Out project which gave Americans a platform to discuss and share their priorities with national leaders – a platform that led to the Pledge to America, Republicans’ new governing agenda for the country. Boehner also launched the GOP State Solutions project, an initiative aimed at bringing reform-minded Republicans at the state and federal levels together to promote common-sense solutions from outside the Beltway.

On November 17, 2010 – his 61st birthday – Boehner was elected by his colleagues to serve as Speaker-designate. Since that time he has fought to make the legislative process more open and to ensure the priorities of the American are reflected in the priorities of lawmakers. He led the drive for an aggressive set of reforms that require bills to be posted online at least three days before a vote, make it easier to cut spending, require legislation to cite its authority in the Constitution, and more. He also led House Republicans in adopting the first-ever ban on “earmarks” – the secretive, pork-barrel spending he has opposed since his first days in Congress.

Today, Speaker Boehner is focused on removing government barriers to private-sector job creation and economic growth, cutting government spending, reforming Congress, and rebuilding the bonds of trust between the American people and their representatives in Washington.

John Boehner was born on 17 November, 1949, in Reading, Ohio, US. He is a politician.John is the son of Mary Anne and Earl Henry Boehner, the second of twelve children in a German-Irish family. He started working at the young age of 8 at his family’s bar, a business founded in 1938 by their grandfather Andy Boehner. John lived his entire life in Southwest Ohio.

In 1968 he graduated from Cincinnati Moeller High School. He then enlisted in the United States Navy but after eight weeks was honorably discharged for medical reasons. He became the first person in his family to attend college, and in 1977 he earned his bachelor’s degree in business from Xavier University in Cincinnati. Late on John accepted a position with Nucite Sales, where he eventually became president of the firm.


As for his early political career, John served on the board of trustees of Union Township, Butler Country, Ohio, from 1982 to 1984. He then served from 1985 to 1990 as an Ohio state representative.In 1990 he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in the 102nd Congress.

Heather Matarazzo Biography Current News Profile Boy Friend Husband Children Relationships Imdb Family Pictures Wallpaper Online Video.

Date of Birth : 10 November 1982, Long Island, New York, USA
Birth Name : Heather Cristina Matarazzo
Height : 5' 4" (1.63 m)

In 1996, Heather Matarazzo delivered one of the year's most striking film performances as the plain, bespectacled junior high student Dawn Weiner in "Welcome to the Dollhouse". Only eleven years old when the film was shot, the Long Island native offered a compelling and touching performance of a misunderstood middle child, battered by the taunts of classmates (who call her 'Weinerdog') and the particular attentions of one boy (Brendon Sexton III) who demonstrates his affection with threats of rape.

Despite subject matter that was at times painful to watch, the young actress never flagged, holding the audience's sympathies even while displaying sibling rivalry. Like indie stalwart Lili Taylor, Matarazzo was willing to downplay her own unusual looks for the sake of the character.heather matarazzo hostel 2 heather matarazzo dollhouse heather matarazzo caroline murphy heather matarazzo princess heather matarazzo 2009.

The precocious youngster began her acting career at the tender of seven and later played an abused child in an NYU student film, Helen Keller in a stage production of "The Miracle Worker" and a recurring role on the Nickelodeon series "The Adventures of Pete and Pete".
 
Following her acclaimed debut, Matarazzo accepted a recurring role on the short-lived ABC sitcom "Townies" (1996) as Jenna Elfman's younger sister and took supporting roles in two flicks that starred "Dollhouse"'s Brendan Sexton, "Arresting Gena" (1997) and "Hurricane Streets" (1998). She offered a strong turn as a witness testifying in a murder trial in scenes with Keanu Reeves in "The Devil's Advocate" (1997) and registered in the brief role as the younger sister of the ambitious Shane O'Shea (Ryan Phillippe) in "54" (1998).
 
Matarazzo was also among the ensemble of the female-driven "Strike!/The Hairy Bird" (1998), a coming-of-age tale set at an all-girls school in the early 1960s. Her performance as a bulimic won her praise, but the film itself was the subject of some controversy: its producers were unhappy with Miramax's decision to open it only in Seattle and sought other distribution. Those problems, however, had little effect on the young actress' career as she lent her quirky, unselfconscious charms to "Cherry" and "Getting to Know You" (both 1999), adapted from the short stories of Joyce Carol Oates.

After a brief stint on television as Eric Close's daughter on the short-lived but critically admired drama "Now and Again" (1999), Matarazzo enjoyed supporting roles in "Blue Moon" (2000), "Scream 3" (2000) and "Company Man" (2000) before landing another high-profile role as Anne Hathaway's Plain Jane buddy Lilly in the popular Cinderella story "The Princess Diaries" (2001), a role she reprised for the 2004 sequel.

After a small but well-acted role in the dim-witted comedy "Sorority Boys" (2002) as one of the ugly duckling sisters in a sorority where college cads are disguised as women, Matarazzo again took on a merry nerd role in the religious satire "Saved!" (2004) as a desperately sociall-climbing Christian school student.
