Cheryl Ann Tweedy has spent nearly her entire life in the limelight. Born June 30, 1983, in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, Cheryl began her modeling career at the tender age of 6 when she won the prestigious World Star of Future Modeling competition. And she didn’t stop there. In the years that followed, she was named “Best Looking Girl of Newcastle,” “Most Attractive Girl” at the Metro Square, and she starred in a string of popular commercials seen throughout the British Isles.

“Chezza,” as she’s known in the media, won another competition of sorts, at the age of 16, when she beat out thousands of other young women to earn a place at the Royal Ballet Summer School in London. Despite her success as a dancer, Cheryl’s true love was singing and she longed for the opportunity to show off her dazzling vocal prowess.

CHERYL TWEEDY ON POPSTARS
Luckily, she was given a chance to do just that in 2002, when ITV1 held an open audition for its new reality show, Popstars: The Rivals. “I was working as a waitress at the time,” Cheryl recalls. “I saw Popstars would be about two new bands, so I just thought I’d give an audition a go.”

CHERYL TWEEDY JOINS GIRLS ALOUD
And it’s a good thing she did. Cheryl’s multitalented skill set blew away the show’s producers. “When I got through all the heats I started to think I could go all the way,” she recalls. And indeed she did. Chezza was the first contestant chosen for the newly formed group Girls Aloud. Joining her in the band were Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts, and Sarah Harding.

The girls easily defeated their male counterparts on Popstars thanks to the huge success of their debut single, “Sound of the Underground.” In fact, the song proved to be so popular that it stayed at the No. 1 spot on the charts for an incredible four weeks.

Encouraged by the song’s success, Girls Aloud headed into the studio once again to record their debut album, Sound of the Underground. Released on May 26, 2003, the disc sold over 320,000 copies worldwide thanks to the hit songs “Girls Allowed” and “Life Got Cold.”

CHERYL TWEEDY’S ASSAULT CHARGES
Unfortunately, Cheryl made news for all the wrong reasons later that year when she was convicted of assaulting a toilet attendant at a nightclub in Guilford. Although she was cleared of all charges of racially aggravated assault, Cheryl was found guilty of occasioning actual bodily harm and was sentenced to 120 hours of community service. According to Cheryl, the incident brought her “down to earth.” She says: “It made me realize just how lucky I was to lead the life I do.”

GIRLS ALOUD RELEASES CHEMISTRY
Cheryl put the episode behind her, and she and Girls Aloud switched their focus to recording What Will the Neighbours Say? Released on November 24, 2004, the ambitious sophomore effort debuted at No. 6 on the UK album charts and later achieved platinum certification. Just as importantly, the disc received a mountain of critical praise from publications like The Guardian, which hailed it as being “funny, clever, immediate,” and “richly inventive.”

Following a successful live tour, the girls headed back into the studio to record their third album. Released on December 5, 2005, Chemistry was a critically praised album, with respected media outlets like The Guardian, NME and Top of the Pops, which included it on its best of year-end album charts. The disc was also equally popular with the group’s loyal fans who made Chemistry Girls Aloud’s third consecutive platinum-selling record.

Girls Aloud hit the charts again in September 2006, with the release of their first greatest hits compilation, The Sound of Girls Aloud. The album debuted at No. 1 on the UK charts, and went on to sell an impressive 84,000 copies in its first week. After the album’s success, the girls went out on tour, hitting 15 spots across the UK to sing to adoring fans.

And the music doesn’t stop there. Cheryl Tweedy and Girls Aloud followed up in August 2007, with their fourth studio album, Tangled Up that saw the hits “Sexy! No, No, No…” and “Call the Shots,” which became their 17th hit and reached No. 3 on the UK charts.

CHERYL TWEEDY MARRIES ASHLEY COLE
Cheryl also made headlines of a personal sort in 2006 when she married English footballer Ashley Cole in a lavish ceremony on July 15. The wedding was financed by OK! magazine, which paid the star couple £1,000,000 to publish pictures of the event. “It went very well,” Cheryl says. “I thought something would go wrong on the day, but all went smoothly and it was a great time. Everyone seemed to have fun after too.”

CHERYL TWEEDY FACES MARRIAGE TURMOIL
In 2008, The Sun newspaper reported that Cheryl Tweedy’s husband Ashley had been sleeping with several women during their marriage, including 22-year-old hairdresser Aimee Walton, who sold her story to the paper. In the months to follow, Cheryl was spotted several times out in public without her wedding ring.

CHERYL TWEEDY JOINS THE X FACTOR
In June 2008, Cheryl Cole replaced Sharon Osborne as a judge on the reality TV show The X Factor. Her arrival on one the UK’s biggest TV shows wasn’t met with universal joy, however, as reports of confrontation between Cheryl Tweedy (Cole) and fellow judge Dannii Minogue began to surface.

GIRLS ALOUD SET TO RELEASE OUT OF CONTROL
2009 is shaping up to be quite a big year for Cheryl Tweedy and the lovely ladies of Girls Aloud. After confirming rumors that they’re set to release a brand new album entitled Out of Control, which contains the hit singles “The Loving Kind” and “The Promise.”

Along with a new album set to hit the shelves, Girls Aloud and Cheryl Tweedy also performed at the 2009 Brit Awards and brought home the award for Best British Single for “The Promise.”

Born in New York City, on November 22, 1984, Scarlett Johansson is the youngest of four siblings — she has an older brother and sister, as well as a twin brother. As might be expected of an acting prodigy, Scarlett had an unusually early interest in performing: She wanted to be an actress since age 3, and was acting professionally when she was only 8 years old. After taking classes at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute for Young People, Scarlett Johansson made her stage debut in the early 1990s in the off-Broadway production of Sophistry, alongside Ethan Hawke.

Scarlett Johansson’s first film role came in 1994’s North, starring Elijah Wood, another child star survivor. The following year she played Sean Connery’s daughter in the thriller Just Cause, and then in 1996 she appeared in If Lucy Fell and Manny & Lo. For the latter film, Scarlett Johansson was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Actress in 1997. That year she added Fall and Home Alone 3 to her burgeoning list of credits as well.

SCARLETT JOHANSSON STARS IN THE HORSE WHISPERER
In 1998, Scarlett Johansson’s career reached new heights. Cast as Grace MacLean, a young girl who suffers a tragic equestrian accident in The Horse Whisperer, Scarlett Johansson was generally acknowledged as the most promising part of an otherwise unenthusiastically received film. The 13-year-old actress picked up a Hollywood Reporter Young Star Award for her work. Ironically, Scarlett Johansson was given an “introducing…” credit in The Horse Whisperer, even though she already had a half-dozen movies under her belt by then.

Building on the momentum of The Horse Whisperer, Scarlett Johansson appeared in My Brother the Pig (1999), and then costarred with Thora Birch in Terry Zwigoff’s adaptation of the teen-angst comic book Ghost World in 2000.

The next year Scarlett Johansson turned heads once again with a provocative role in the Coen brothers’ The Man Who Wasn’t There. Also in 2001, Scarlett starred in An American Rhapsody, a Hungarian film about a girl who escapes from behind the iron curtain in the 1950s. Such serious fare was offset in 2002, with Scarlett Johansson’s turn in the B-monster movie Eight Legged Freaks.

SCARLETT JOHANSSON STARS IN LOST IN TRANSLATION
2003 would prove to be Scarlett Johansson’s most successful year yet. She starred in Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation as a young girl staying in Japan who befriends a washed-up American actor, played by Bill Murray. Scarlett followed up Lost in Translation with Girl with a Pearl Earring in which she played the title role: a struggling servant girl who becomes drawn into the world of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. Both roles landed Scarlett Johansson Best Actress Golden Globe nominations in 2004, as well as a Best Actress BAFTA Award (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) for Lost in Translation.

With the 2004 teen comedy The Perfect Score, Scarlett Johansson demonstrated once more that she can take on lighter fare as well as serious roles.

SCARLETT JOHANSSON IN THE PRESTIGE
In 2005, Scarlett Johansson appeared in two flicks: Woody Allen’s Match Point and The Island. She also endorsed the Calvin Klein perfume “Eternity Moment.”

The following year she was named the face of L’Oreal and also had roles in The Black Dahlia and The Prestige alongside Christian Bale. If that weren’t enough, Scarlett was the leading lady in Bob Dylan’s music video “When the Deal Goes Down.”

SCARLETT JOHANSSON IS NAMED NO. 6 IN 2008 AND 2009 TOP 99
In 2007, Scarlett Johansson played Annie Braddock in The Nanny Diaries. Her 2008 projects included The Spirit, The Other Boleyn Girl and Vicky Cristina Barcelona (that costars Penelope Cruz, with whom she shared an on-screen kiss).

Very few women in Hollywood have the allure and sexiness of Scarlett Johansson. Not only can she look hot in an array of hairstyles and ensembles, but she can really act, too. This is precisely why AskMen.com readers voted her No. 6 in the Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2008 and again in 2009.

SCARLETT JOHANSSON ENGAGED TO RYAN REYNOLDS
In 2008, Scarlett Johansson got engaged to her actor boyfriend Ryan Reynolds. By September of 2008, the couple married in Tofino, Canada.

In 2009, Scarlett starred in He’s Just Not That Into You, alongside Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Drew Barrymore and, Ben Affleck. Up next, Scarlett Johansson is set to star in the Jon Favreau-directed Iron Man 2 (2010), opposite industry heavyweights like Gwyneth Paltrow, Mickey Rourke, Robert Downey Jr., and Samuel L. Jackson.

Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson was born on the 3rd January 1956 in Peekskill, New York to his parents Hutton and Anne Reilly Gibson. He was the sixth of eleven children in the family, he has sisters Patricia, Sheila, Mary, Maura and Anne. Brothers Kevin, Donal (also an actor), Andrew and twins Christopher and Daniel. Mel was named after the Church of St. Mel in Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, Ireland.

Although American born, Mel’s father relocated the family to New South Wales, Australia in 1968 after he injured himself at work and pursued a lengthy lawsuit against New York Central Railroad which eventually, won him $145,000, which along with the $21,000 he won on the game show Jeopardy enabled them to emigrate Anne’s homeland – Mel’s paternal grandmother was the Australian Opera singer Eva Mylott.

When Mel had finished high school he studied at the University of South Wales in Sydney, after which he starred in a few TV shows and had a season onstage at Sydney’s South Australian Theatre Company where he portrayed Henry IV and Oedipus. It was in 1979 when he got his big break and was chosen to star in the small budgeted movie “Mad Max” which was dubbed for its release in the US – this was the film that helped Mel to be known worldwide. In the same year he also starred in “Tim” which got him an award for Best Actor in the Australian Film Institute, which is the US equivalent of the Oscar.

Mel apparantly met his wife Robyn Moore at a dating service and in 1980 they married, and at present they still are! Together they have seven children; Hannah (born 1980), Edward and Christian (twins born 1982), Willie (1985), Louis (1988), Milo (1990) and Tommy (1999).

Mel was born with the abnormality of a “Horseshoe Kidney” which means that his Kidneys are fused together in the shape of a horse shoe. He also suffers from bipolar disorder. He is around 5’10” tall.

In 1981 Mel starred in Peter Weir’s World War I drama “Gallipoli”, for which he earned another award for Best Actor from the AFI. “The year of living dangerously came in 1982 in which he played his first romantic role which was opposite Sigourney Weaver. It was this film that first gave him his status as a sex symbol!

Mel’s American debut was in “The River” opposite Sissy Spacek followed shortly after by “The Bounty” (1984) which co starred Anthony Hopkins. In 1985 he returned to Australia to star in “Mad Max, Beyond Thunderdrome”. After taking a couple of years off to enjoy his young family he went on to star in his signature series “Lethal Weapon” alongside Danny Glover. For anyone that hasn’t had the pleasure of the “Lethal Weapon” films he plays police officer Martin Riggs, a playful fun-loving ordinary guy who doesn’t take his work to seriously. The films are a mixture of action and comedy, and he and Danny Glover come across as having a charming and natural on screen relationship as partners. These are movies that I could watch over and over! They are fantastic.

In 1988 Mel starred in “Tequila Sunrise” which is a slightly disappointing movie and although the 1990 film “Bird on a Wire” (with Goldie Hawn) was a bit of a flop, it is still one my favourite films. The blockbuster “Lethal Weapon 2” came in 1989 which was followed by another flop “Air America”.

He starred in Franco Zeffirelli’s “Hamlet” in 1990 which was an odd career move but in the end earned him more praise than criticism. He charmed his audience in 1992 with “Forever Young” and then a year later decided to take on the disturbing “The Man Without a Face”. Somewhere in between the two he managed the massive hit “Lethal weapon 3”! In 1994 he took on “Maverick” which is a country funny film which I adore!

1995 saw “Braveheart” in which he starred as Sir William Wallace – a 13th century Scottish nobleman persecuted for his efforts to free Scotland from an English rule. This film was far bigger than anything he had attempted before and all the hard work was worth it because “Braveheart” as well as being voted five awards including Best Picture and honoring Mel as Best Director it is also ranked number 62 on the American Film Institutes most inspiring movies of all time, which is fantastic for a film he almost turned down fearing he was too old for the role. He asked producers if he could direct instead and the compromise was made that if he starred as Wallace then he could also direct the movie.

Also in 1995 he provided the voice for John Smith in the Disney animation “Pocahontas” here he had his singing debut. The massive hit “Ransom” was in 1996 which earned a whopping $35 million in the first week, it was during this film that Mel was rushed to hospital for an appendectomy and returned to work just a few days later to do his action shots. A Year later came “Conspiracy Theory” in which Mel starred opposite Julia Roberts. “Lethal Weapon 4” came in 1998 which Mel and Danny Glover both starred in and directed, Mel has said that his performances as Martin Riggs were his favorite. In 1999 he starred in the hugely successful movie “Payback”. The year 2000 was a busy one for Mel – he starred in “The Million Dollar Hotel”, “The Patriot” and the comedy “What Women Want”.

In 1991, 1992 and 1996 Mel Gibson was chosen as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world by “People” magazine. In 1997 he was ranked in the UK’s Empire magazine as number 12 in the list of the top 100 movie stars of all time. Also in 1997 he was awarded the AO – Officer of the Order of Australia which is Australia’s highest honor. Mel was also the first person ever to be voted “People” magazines “sexiest man alive”!

In 1994 Mel hosted and sometimes performed in “Rabbit Ears Radio” which is a children’s radio program on Public Radio International. He starred in the supernatural thriller “Signs” in 2002 as well as a leading role in the Vietnam War Drama “We Were Soldiers”. In 2004 he produced, directed and acted in some of the “Complete Savages” episodes and also found time and a lot of his own money (around $25 million) for “The Passion of the Christ” – a film about the last 12 hours of the life of Jesus Christ. This film took over $370 million in domestic box office, perhaps the most profitable independent film of all time.

In December of 2004 Mel flew to Fiji where he bought the 2,160 hectare Island of Mago from a Japanese hotel chain for $15 million dollars which he plans to turn into his personal retreat. He also owns a summer house in Branford, Conneticut, a ranch in Australia, an estate in Greenwich and multiple homes in Malibu, CA.

Mel has been considered for many other roles including; Batman, Wolverine in X-Men, Jack Stanton in Primary Colors, Amadeus, Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves and Runaway Bride. He recently turned down the role of Sgt John McLoughlin in World Trade Centre to direct Apocalypto instead. He also turned down the role of James Bond a few years ago because he didn’t want to be typecast.

It was in 2006 that the fantastic “Apocalypto” was created which is a film set in the ancient Maya Civilization and the script spoken entirely in the Mayan language. A quote from Mel on this was “obviously, nobody wants to touch something filmed in two dead languages. They think I am crazy, and maybe I am. But maybe I’m a genius”

On July 28th 2006 Mel was pulled over in his Lexus on the Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu for doing 85mph in a 45mph zone. He was found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.12, well over California’s 0.08 limit. He was arrested and was insanely rude to his Jewish Arresting officer. He continues his racist rants in jail and demeaned a female officer by calling her “sugar tits”. He was released on a $5000 bond. On reflection Mel said “I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested and said things that are not true and which are despicable”. On the 1st of August 2006 he checked himself into a program for alcohol abuse. On the 17th August 2006 Mel pleaded no contest to the DUI and was ordered to attend one year of AA meetings and was ordered to pay £1200 in fines and penalties and £100 in restitution.

A quote from Mel Gibson in December 2006; “film making is what I love now. I don’t want to be the star of a movie anymore”

As far as movie stars go, Mel is certainly one of the biggest and has been in the business for more than 25 years, maybe it is due to is wonderful Australian character that he is so popular, or maybe it is due to his attitude towards his work, he strives to be the best and only takes on what he thinks is a good script, his whole attitude to Hollywood is that if one person breaks down that they can easily be replaced with another. According to the “Los Angeles Journal” Mel Gibson has an estimated fortune of $850 million which would make him the wealthiest actor in the world.

Maura Lynn Tierney was born on the 3rd February 1965, in Boston, Massachusetts, she grew up in Hyde Park with her mum, Pat who is a real estate agent and her dad Joe, who is now a lawyer but used to be a Boston city councilman and a Mayoral candidate. Maura is of Catholic extraction and attended the Notre Dame Academy which is an all-girls Catholic high school in Hingham, Massachusetts. She has two younger siblings and is 5’3” tall.

Maura started off studying at New York University but left school before she graduated and got involved with the neighbouring Circle in the Square Theatre School where she met and became close friends with Richard Shepard and appeared in some of his works. It was Richard who gave her, her first small film role in his Manhattan set comedy ‘The Linguini Incident’ which was released in 1992.

Maura spent some time living in New York’s Hells kitchen and for a while was selling t shirts door to door in college dorms. She eventually moved to Los Angeles where she found herself an agent and got a part in ‘The Van Dyke Show’ but this was unfortunately cut after just two months. She got her first leading film roll in ‘Dead Women in Lingerie’ in 1992 but this did little to advance her career.

She continued to find work in dribs and drabs, mostly failed sitcoms – The Ralph Macchio series being one of them, it was on the set of this show that she met her husband Billy Morissette where they were both fired from the set! Maura claims that he deserved it, but she didn’t. They married in 1994 but had actually been together since 1988. Maura diagnosed her husbands appendix attack using her ER textbook! They don’t have any children just a black Pug called Rose Kennedy. The couple and their dog spent a lot of their spare time travelling the United States and had visited every state except two – Iowa and Kansas.

Maura filed for divorce in 2006 stating that there were irreconcilable differences.

Maura’s big break came when at the last minute she was cast the lead part of Lisa Miller in the sitcom pilot “The Station” which was later renamed “News Radio”. This led to a supporting role in “Primal Fear”. And she later got a role as a single mom who falls for hockey player Bruce Willis, however after just two weeks of shooting ‘creative differences’ brought an end to the task.

She has also starred alongside Jim Carrey in “Liar Liar”, Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock in “Forces of Nature” Emma Thompson and Mike Nichols on “Primary Colors”, Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding Jr in “Instinct”, as well as a role in “Scotland P.A.”, a film written and directed by her husband Billy Morisette. Also to her credits a role alongside Robin Williams, Al Pacino and Hilary Swank in “Insomnia”.

What Maura is probably most recognised for is her role as Nurse Abby Lockhart in the hit ER. She was the cast the part in 1994 without an audition. She won an Emmy Award nomination for her performance as a former medical student who’s resumed her career as a doctor. She is amazing in this role and her strange but notable beauty along with her incredible acting ability makes her a character that is very easy to empathize with, it is very few actors who are capable of this.

One of Maura’s closest friends is Laura Innes, her ER co-star – she plays Kerry Weaver.

A couple of her personal quotes;

“I have so many insecurities they fight for prominence”
“I prefer living in New York over Los Angeles, or for that matter any other city I have visited”
“I don’t think that there is anything particularly innocent about me”
