Vanessa Minnillo was born on November 9, 1980, at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines. Her father, Vince Minnillo, was an Air Force Aircrew Member (now retired) of Irish and Italian extraction, and her mother, Helen Berecero, a Filipina he met while based in the Philippines. She and her family, which includes a two-years older brother, Vincent, lived in California, Nevada, Florida, Germany, and Japan before settling down in Charleston, South Carolina. Vanessa attended seven different schools during this time, and participated in cheer leading and volunteer work for numerous different local charities.

After her parents divorce in 1986, Helen was awarded custody of both children and Vanessa only saw her father on weekends. When her mother remarried, the family moved to Turkey, where her new stepfather, a U.S. Air Force Serviceman, was assigned. They were forced to evacuate when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990, leading to the Gulf War of 1991, and Helen brought the kids back to the United States, leaving them with their father until she could get back on her feet. That would be the last Vanessa would see of her mother, who never returned. Instead, she began a new life, along with her brother, living with her father Vince and his new wife, Donna, whom she now calls her "best friend".

With her life more settled, Vanessa began to turn her attention to the Miss South Carolina beauty pageant in 1996. She had loved cheer leading since she was a young child, and was very keen on performing in front of an audience. With her unaffected style and natural ebullience, she easily won over the judges, sweeping all the categories before winning the crown. Two years later, on August 17, 1998, she competed in the Miss Teen USA pageant. Though it was preempted by CBS's live coverage of a speech by President Bill Clinton regarding the Monica Lewinsky ordeal, in the end, she wooed the Miss Teen USA judges just like she had the Miss South Carolina judges two years earlier. It was her second pageant, and her second victory. In the three years since handing over her Miss Teen USA crown, Miss Minnillo has concentrated on college, acting, and modeling. She has a promising future, and was recently one of the finalists in E!'s competition to find a replacement for Brooke Burke as hostess for the show "Wild On..." (1997). Though the job ultimately went to Cindy Taylor, Vanessa made a big impression with "Wild On..." (1997) fans across the world, and hopes to continue working in television for some time to come.|source|

EVA LONGORIA BIOGRAPHY

Early in her life, "the ugly duckling" Eva Jacqueline Longoria probably had never imagined that she would transform into a beautiful swan, becoming one of the hottest promising actresses in the United States. Being the youngest in Longoria family, she is different from her three other sisters for her dark complexion as well as her darker eyes and hair. Nevertheless, she passed her childhood happily, grew up on her parents' ranch in Corpus Christi, Texas, which also was her place of birth. Born on March 15, 1975 she made her way to successfully earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology at Texas A&M University in Kingsville.

Her life slightly changed when she became Miss Corpus Christi USA in 1998, which endorsed her determination to pursue a career in acting. When Eva came to L.A., she was noticed and signed by a theatrical agent who got her an audition in a comedic play titled "What the Rabbi Saw" in which she was accepted. Afterwards, she played small roles in some television series, namely "The Bold and the Beautiful"; "General Hospital"; and "Beverly Hills 90210." This beautiful actress made a great leap in her career by joining the cast of "The ...


Young and the Restless" in 2001. Her acting as Isabella Brana Williams in the film led her to win an ALMA award for Outstanding Actress in a Daytime Drama.

She left "The Young and the Restless" in 2003 and appeared in the films "Snitch'd" (2003), "Dragnet" (2003), and TV series "Senorita Justice" (2004). In addition to those, Eva also co-starred and co-produced "Hot Tamales Live: Spicy, Hot, and Hilarious," a comedy/variety show which has become a hit and been critically acclaimed. However, it was ABC's TV series "Desperate Housewives" that brought her to reach a tremendous success when it was launched in October 2004. Starred as adulteress Gabrielle Solis in the mega hit, watched by over 27 million viewers each week, directly made her name being well known nationwide. Aside from "Desperate Housewives," Eva kept developing her acting career. She took role in a small screen, "The Dead Will Tell" (2004) together with Anne Heche, then starred in the action-thriller movie "Carlita's Secret" (2004). Her next projects were the movies "Harsh Times," being in the same scene with Christian Bale, and "The Sentinel," along with Michael Douglas, Kim Basinger, and Kiefer Sutherland. Both films hit the theaters in 2006. as for her private life, Eva first married to "General Hospital" actor Tyler Christopher on January 20, 2002 but then decided to go separate ways and had their divorce papers finalized on January 19, 2004. Ever since, she dated JC Chasez before at last embarked on a romance with San Antonio Spurs basketball player, Tony Parker who happens to be 7 years her junior. Notwithstanding with the many negative rumors surrounding their relationship and the ups and downs they had to face, the couple managed to make it and got engaged in November 2006. After months of preparation they made their way to the altar, made it official in a low-key civil ceremony in Paris on July 6, 2007 followed thereafter by an extravagant party held the next day at Paris' Eglise Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois, a church opposite the Louvre Museum which is usually used to serve French royals. Among the celebrity guests were singer Sheryl Crow, "Desperate Housewives" stars Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman and hubby William H. Macy, Marcia Cross, and Nicollette Sheridan.

In early December the same year, Eva and Tony were hit with an infidelity claim brought to public's notice by French model Alexandra Paressant who insisted to have
had a brief fling with the basketball player in between his marriage to the tiny actress. Got bombarded with accusation after accusation, the couple nevertheless denied the cheating allegation, claimed it as "100 per cent false and untrue." Unaffected by the claim, Eva underwent such a smooth acting career, landed her feet in more film projects, among them were action, animation, comedy flick "Foodfight!" (2007) and the comedy romance "Deep in the Heart of Texas" (2008). In addition to those, she also has been booked to star in "Over Her Dead Body" (2008), a comedy flick which will see her playing alongside Paul Rudd, Lake Bell, Jason Biggs, Stephen Root, and Lindsay Sloane just to name a few.

MEG RYAN BIOGRAPHY

MEG RYAN PROFILE

Full Name: Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra
Birth Of Date: November 19, 1961
Place of Date: Fairfield, Connecticut, U.S.
Occupation: Actress
Years active: 1981–present
Spouse: Dennis Quaid (m. 1991–2001; 1 child)
Children: 2 (1 daughter and 1 son)


MEG RYAN BIOGRAPHY

During the 1990s, Meg Ryan was the queen of American romantic comedy - an updated Doris Day relentlessly touted as "America's Sweetheart" for her wholesome heroines in a steady string of mating mix-ups. Ryan embodied the cute, bubbly but befuddled objects of desire in Nora Ephron-penned hits "When Harry Met Sally" (1989), "Sleepless in Seattle" (1993) and "You've Got Mail" (1998) - films which earned her the rare following of both male and female fans who either wanted to take her home to mom or be her best shopping buddy. Ryan regularly sought to explore new territory outside of her well-worn but popular persona as a dizzy romantic stereotype, and she garnered some positive feedback for a SAG-winning performance as an alcoholic in "When a Man Loves a Woman" (1994) and a U.S. Army captain in "Courage Under Fire" (1996). Ryan's Hollywood A-List status took a dip in the new century when an extramarital affair with co-star Russell Crowe tarnished her girl-next-door image and spelled the end of her marriage to actor Dennis Quaid. When the scandal blew over and enough time had passed, she sought to reclaim her leading actress status, but by reinventing herself in more mature roles as middle-aged moms in comedic crisis.

Ryan was born Margaret Hyra on Nov. 19, 1961. Her parents - both elementary school teachers - raised their family in Fairfield, CT until their divorce when Ryan was a teen. Growing up, Ryan was a fan of the classic Hollywood glamour queens from the 1930s and 1940s, though she, herself, was a preppy suburban teen with dreams of pursuing journalism as a career. She was working towards a journalism degree at New York University when she first got into show business, initially appearing in commercials to make some money. During her final year of school, the acting opportunities were too numerous to turn down and she left school to pursue them full time. She made her film debut at age 20 playing Candice Bergen's teen daughter in the female-centric feature "Rich and Famous" (1981) before turning to TV, where a few made-for-TV movie performances led to a recurring role on the short lived sitcom "One of the Guys" (NBC, 1982), starring Mickey Rooney and a young Dana Carvey. In 1982, Ryan joined the soap "As the World Turns" (CBS, 1956- )as Betsy Montgomery, and her unrequited love story with out-of-bounds character Steve boosted the show's sagging ratings at that time.

After two years on "ATWT," Ryan headed out to Los Angeles, where her TV career receded into the distance and her film career began to gather speed. She first registered with movieg rs in a small but memorable role as Anthony Edwards' exuberant wife in Tony Scott's action hit "Top Gun" (1986). She was quickly bumped up to larger supporting roles, garnering some positive attention for her performance as a tough, desperate drifter in "Promised Land" (1987). In J Dante's sci-fi comedy "Innerspace" (1987) she played a journalist opposite Dennis Quaid, and the pair became romantically involved both on and off-screen. A newly minted couple, they headlined the unsuccessful noir remake "D.O.A." (1988). However, just as she was settling into romantic bliss with her more bankable movie star boyfriend, Ryan found her niche when she was cast opposite Billy Crystal in the wildly successful romantic comedy "When Harry Met Sally" (1989), directed by Rob Reiner and penned by Nora Ephron. Ryan augmented her girl-next-door cuteness with high maintenance flustering and hopeless romanticism - to say nothing of her over-the-top faking of an orgasm in a delicatessen - which won over audiences at first sight. In addition to earning the new star a Golden Globe nomination, the film more importantly made her an A-list star overnight. Off-screen, the bubbly blonde agreed to marry Quaid under the condition that he address his cocaine addiction, which he did. To the delight of fans and the popular media, the handsome pair was wed in 1989 and for years seemed the definition of a successful Hollywood union. The happy twosome gave birth to a son, Jack, in 1992. The only blight on Ryan's life was an estrangement from her mother, after she spoke to the press disapprovingly of her daughter's choice in men - namely the bad boy Quaid.

A proven box-office draw now, Ryan was cast opposite Tom Hanks in the flop "J Versus the Volcano" (1990), where she played several roles that ranged from ditzy to unconscious. Moving on to "spacey hippie," Ryan was seen as Jim Morrison's common-law wife in Oliver Stone's unintentional comedy "The Doors" (1991) and followed this up with the film adaptation of Craig Lucas' play "Prelude to a Kiss" (1992), where she tried to add some weight to her wide-eyed feistiness while playing an aspiring artist. Knowing her true niche, however, she found continued romantic comedy success (and a Golden Globe nomination) again with Ephron's hugely popular "Sleepless in Seattle" (1993), where she played a potentially perfect match for a widowed single dad. That success cemented Ryan's position as the romantic comedy "It Girl" of the 1990s as well as the weighty title of "America's Sweetheart." Attempts to go against type in the moody Texas-set romance "Flesh and Bone" (1993) - which starred her husband in their third outing together - and the better received "When a Man Loves a Woman" (1994) - in which Ryan played an alcoholic wife and mother - were less embraced by audiences who lined up to adore Ryan as a wholesome yet muddled romantic. At this time in her career, even her hairdo - the Meg Ryan shag - was just as popular as the actress herself.

Ryan delivered the charm in the 1950s-set romantic comedy "I.Q." playing an overly pragmatic mathematician niece of Albert Einstein (Walter Matthau) and love interest of a garage mechanic (Tim Robbins). The moderate hit was overshadowed by 1995's $100- million dollar earner "French Kiss," a predictably inane rom-com where befuddled Ryan played a jilted fiancée who gets involved with a jewel thief (Kevin Kline). The actress' attempts to stretch met with uneven success, but she attempted to branch out by undertaking the pivotal role of an Irish patient in a Quaker hospice who becomes romantically involved with a doctor (Robert Downey Jr.) in Michael Hoffman's drama "Restoration" (1995). She took on brainier characters including an Operation Desert Storm US Army captain in the hit courtroom drama "Courage Under Fire" (1996), and a surgeon romanced by a heavenly creature in "City of Angels" (1998), a runaway hit - albeit a ham-handed remake of Wim Wenders' Cannes winner, "Wings of Desire" (1987). Ryan flirted with indie film in the screen adaptation of "Hurlyburly" (1998), a limited release send-up of the film industry where she was a surprising sight as a drug-abusing go-go dancer involved with a second-rate actor.

Wrapping up a prolific year onscreen, Ryan teamed with Hanks and Ephron again with huge success in the holiday season release "You've Got Mail" (1998). A remake of the 1940 film "The Shop Around the Corner," this modern update involved New York bookstore-owning rivals wooing anonymously via email. Audiences lapped up the standard romantic mix-up to the tune of over $250 million dollars, but her next Ephron story "Hanging Up" (2000), did not interest movieg rs with its plot centered on three sisters (Ryan, Diane Keaton, Lisa Kudrow). Ryan's next departure - a starring role in the thriller "Proof of Life" (2000) - marked the end of the actress' over 10 year reign as a Hollywood A-lister and not because of its financial and critical failure. During production, Ryan began a romantic affair with co-star Russell Crowe, and the prudish press and public had a field day with word of the married actress' unsavory behavior. Nevermind it was Crowe who split up the couple. Because of Ryan's image of purity and "sweetheart" status, the brunt of criticism came down hard on the actress, who later admitted she was not emotionally prepared for that level of hatred directed her way. The relationship lasted less than a year, but it spelled the end of Ryan's and Quaid's seemingly storybook marriage.

When she emerged from the other side of her personal shake-up and professional nightmare, Ryan unveiled a new image - a tougher, sexier look and a new dramatic direction. She co-starred in the absurd, time-travel romantic comedy "Kate and Leopold" (2001) opposite Hugh Jackman before taking an obvious risk with a role in Jane Campion's thriller "In the Cut" (2003). Perhaps feeling she had nothing to lose now, she portrayed a dark, alienated woman with masochistic leanings, entering into a potentially troubling relationship with a police detective following a violent robbery. Baring the darker corners of her soul on screen as never before, Ryan also bared her body in controversial full frontal nude scenes that were both a Campion trademark and a radical departure from her previous fare. She took on another non-cupcake role as hard-hitting real-life female boxing promoter Jackie Kallen in "Against the Ropes" (2003), whose movie poster showcased a Ryan whose plastic surgery had rendered her newly enhanced face - particularly her lips - nearly unrecognizable from her adorably tousled former self. Neither film brought in significant audience numbers and Ryan spent several years off the screen regrouping while movieg rs had fallen for a new breed of rom-com heroines like Kate Hudson and Drew Barrymore.

Ryan tipt d back onto the movie screen in the little-seen coming-of-age comedy "The Land of Women" (2007), where she played a suburban wife and mom who strikes up an unlikely friendship with a 20-something writer who moves in next door to tend to an ailing grandparent. Accepting of her middle-aged mom casting status, she donned a fat suit for the straight-to-video comedy "My Mom's New Boyfriend" (2007) and the following year, starred in her first wide release in years, "The Women" (2008), a loose remake of the George Cukor classic that placed Ryan at the center of an all-female ensemble comedy, including multigenerational stars Eva Mendes, Annette Bening and Cloris Leachman. Based on her relatively successful repositioning and movieg rs' limited recollection of Ryan's earlier fall from favor, the actress lined up further screen projects, including the feature directorial debut from Cheryl Hines, the dark comedy "Serious Moonlight" (2009), where Ryan starred as a high-powered attorney who gets even with her philandering husband.

Anna Kendrick "caught the bug" at the age of 10, when her parents would let her and her brother catch a bus from Portland, Maine, to New York City so that she could attend auditions. Kendrick's first acting role was as Dinah in the Broadway musical High Society in August 1998 when she was twelve years old, a performance for which she earned Theatre World Award, Drama Desk Award, and Tony Award nominations, making her the third-youngest Tony Award nominee.

Anna Kendrick went on to appear in a number of other theater productions, including the musical A Little Night Music, before making her film debut in the 2003 musical comedy Camp, for which she was nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category at the 2004 Chlotrudis Awards and Best Debut Performance Independent Spirit Award for her portrayal of the character Fritzi Wagner.

In 2007, she appeared in her next film, Rocket Science, in which she portrayed Ginny Ryerson, a fast-talking high school debater. Although she says she found the role intimidating and challenging after watching an actual national collegiate championship debate, her performance was praised by critics and she was nominated for a 2007 Independent Spirit Award in the category of Best Supporting Actress.

In late 2007, she auditioned for the role of Jessica Stanley in Twilight, a 2008 film adapted from the first book of the novel series by Stephenie Meyer. She had intended to do a mix-and-match audition with various actors, but was too ill and had to leave; she was, however, brought in for a later session where she was given the role. Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg said that the characters Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory from the book were combined to create the role.

Anna Kendrick reprised her role as Jessica in the Twilight sequel, New Moon.

Anna Kendrick's theater singing experience gave her the opportunity to star in her next project, 2009's The Marc Pease Experience, where she appears opposite Jason Schwartzman and Ben Stiller as a high school senior involved in musical theater.

She appeared in the 2009 films Elsewhere, in which she plays her first lead character, a girl whose best friend (played by Tania Raymonde) goes missing, and in director Jason Reitman's Up in the Air, based on Walter Kirn's 2001 novel of the same name, alongside George Clooney and Vera Farmiga. For her role in Up in the Air, the National Board of Review named her Best Supporting Actress and she has also picked up nominations from numerous critics awards and The Golden Globes and The Screen Actors Guild and the Academy Awards.

She reprised her role as Jessica Stanley in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg devised a graduation speech for her character that was not part of the novel. She appeared in Edgar Wright's adaptation of the graphic novel Scott Pilgrim, titled Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and starring Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Anna Kendrick played Stacey Pilgrim, the sister of the lead character. She also stars in the romantic comedy 50/50, alongside Joseph Gordon Levitt, Bryce Dallas Howard and Seth Rogen. In 2011, she will reprise her role as Jessica Stanley in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

It has been reported that in 2012 she will star opposite John Francis Daley in Rapturepalooza, that she has been cast in The Archivist, to be directed by Robin Wright, and that she will voice a character in the stop-motion animated feature, ParaNorman.

In 2010, Anna Kendrick appeared in LCD Soundsystem's music video "Pow Pow" as a "shape-shifter" who collects "the souls of wicked men". In October 2010, she attended the 2010 Top Glamour Awards in Mexico where she won for "Best International Actress"|source|
