Paris Hilton Biography

Paris Hilton

    • Zodiac Sign: Aquarius (known for being independent and intellectual)
    • Parents: Hotel chain heir Richard Hilton and socialite/actress Kathy Richards

Paris -- along with her sometimes-partner in crime, Nicky -- is the heiress to the Hilton Hotel fortune estimated at $300 million, and was raised accordingly. Growing up the oldest of four siblings, Hilton moved between several homes, including a suite in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in her native Manhattan, Beverly Hills and the Hamptons. She attended schools in Manhattan, California and Conneticut and befriended the likes of Nicole Richie and Kim Kardashian along the way. As a child, she always craved the spotlight and began modeling at charity events before signing a contract with Donald Trump's modeling agency, T Management when she was 19. She's been affectionately making us cringe ever since.

Ashlee Simpson


 


Name : Ashlee Simpson

Date of birth : October 3rd, 1984

Place of birth : Dallas, Texas, USA

Birth name : Ashlee Nicole Simpson

Height : 5' 7

Education : School of American Ballet

Nationality : American

Profession : actress

Siblings : Sister of pop singer Jessica Simpson


Ashlee Simpson reprises her role on The WB's 7th Heaven for her second season as Cecilia, Simon Camden's love interest. Simpson started dancing at the age of 4 and, by the time she was 11, enjoyed the status of being the youngest person ever admitted to the prestigious School of American Ballet. By 14, Simpson was dancing professionally on the road with her older sister, singing sensation Jessica Simpson. Simpson spent three years on tour supporting her sibling and garnering her own fan-base. Despite the fact that she hasn't put out an album of her own, she already has 50 websites devoted to her.

Having recently celebrated her 18th birthday, Simpson is now set to stake her own claim in the entertainment world. She appeared on the big screen last year in the film The Hot Chick alongside Rob Schneider. She already has television appearances under her belt, including a guest-starring role on Malcolm In the Middle. She has also appeared alongside her sister on Saved By The Bell, The Donny & Marie Show, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, The View, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and a Disney Christmas show and concert special.
During her summer hiatus from 7th Heaven, Simpson was busy at work on her first album, which should be released sometime next year, and served as co-host of MTV's Beach House in the Hamptons. She has also been training with renowned acting coach Janet Alhanti. Currently living in Los Angeles, Simpson enjoys spending her free time vintage shopping, writing and recording music and hanging out with friends.



"I'm a simple girl in a complex world," sings 19-year-old Ashlee Simpson on "Autobiography," a track from her debut Geffen Records album. But that description doesn't begin to sum up this multi-talented performer's accomplishments at her tender age.

With a regular role as Cecilia in WB's hit TV Seventh Heaven, upcoming The Ashlee Simpson Show reality series on MTV and debut album bowing July, Ashlee is about to emerge from, like the name of another new song on the album, this one about her famous family, the "Shadow." "I've always been obsessed with music," says Ashlee, who adds her tastes--and album--are not at all like older sister Jessica's. "We're into totally different bands and artists." Produced by John Shanks (Michelle Branch, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Alanis Morissette, Unwritten Law), the new album has elements of rock, punk and pop, recalling Ashlee's own favorite bands--ranging from Janis Joplin and Steve Nicks to Pat Benatar, the Pretenders and Blondie through Fiona Apple, Hole and Green Day.
Ashlee co-wrote every song on the album. "I just wanted to go in and make a record and not worry about what genre it would be," she says. "I went in to have a good time and did. It's a rock record, with a cool edge to it. It's the first time people are getting to hear what I sound like."
The first single, "Pieces of Me," is a full-throttle rocker about a best friend who brings comfort at the end of a long, stressful day of work. "It's like a sigh," she says. "When I finally see him, all the other dramas fade away." "Autobiography" plays around with her public image, daring those who want to know her to walk up and ask. The tongue-in-cheek rave-up "LaLa" is about sexual fantasies, with Ashlee role-playing as an alley cat and a French maid, but it's all in fun. "There's a lot of sarcasm in that song," she says. "It's something every girl thinks about, so I decided to make a joke about it. It's one of the songs you can dance around to."
The Waco, TX-born Ashlee has been dancing since she was 3, and by 11, she was the youngest person ever admitted into the prestigious School of American Ballet. She moved to L.A. with her parents and Jessica when she was 14, pursuing an acting career and dancing in her sister's stage show, but dreaming of doing music all the while.
She went on to make appearances on Malcolm in the Middle and The View before landing a regular role in Seventh Heaven. Last year, she had the track "Just Let Me Cry" on Disney's Freaky Friday soundtrack, and then began recording earlier this year on breaks from filming the TV show.
"I've been working on the album for five months now, and I'm just so excited for it to come out," she says. "I feel like it's very true to who I am. I was there every step of the way. My acting experience really helped me get into the characters of the songs and be in the moment with them. I was able to go back to the events I'm singing about and bring them to life."
Coinciding with the release of the new album, Ashlee is also starring in her own MTV reality series, which will track her through the whole process.
"Jessica said she couldn't believe I was doing a show also," she laughs. "Now, when I come over, I bring over my cameras, while there's always a crew around her house. It's actually quite funny. Jess taught me it's cool to be yourself." With the album done, Ashlee looks back and calls the experience "therapeutic." "Anything I held on my shoulders, I got to put it out there. It enabled me to find out who I am, to discover my identity in the world."
The world is set to learn all about the latest multimedia Simpsons star on both disc and TV.

Biography of  Monica Bellucci


Birth Name: Monica Anna Maria Bellucci
Birth Date: September 30, 1964
Birth Place: Citta di Castello, Umbria, Italy

Monica Bellucci began her career as a model while studying law at the University of Perugia. In 1990, Dino Risi cast her for the Italian television series "Vita Coi Figli" and her acting career was born. She made her feature film debut in Francesco Laudadio's "La Riffa" (1991).
Francis Coppola gave Bellucci a small role in "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992) with Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins and Keanu Reeves, and she went on to star in numerous European features. In 2000, she appeared with Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman in "Under Suspicion". The following year, she co-starred in the French sensation "Le Pacte des Loupes" (2001).
Bellucci made a major impression when she starred as a raped woman in Gaspar Noé's harrowing "Irréversible" (2002) and the actress also hit the radar of mainstream audiences when she appeared opposite Bruce Willis in Antoine Fuqua's "Tears of the Sun" (2003). Later that same year, Bellucci entranced blockbuster-craving crowds when she was cast in the highly-anticipated back-to-back sequels "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolution" playing the beautiful and enigmatic Persephone. In 2004 Belucci had a small role, comported with much modesty, as Mary Magdalene in Mel Gibson's controversial and brutal depiction of the Crucifixtion, "The Passion of the Christ," and she also appeared in director Spike Lee's middling sex comedy "She Hate Me" (2004) as the lesbian daughter of a Mafioso who pays to be impregnated by the film's lead character (Anthony Mackie). The following year she appeared as the icy, evil Mirror Queen in director Terry Gilliam's visually arresting but disappointing fairy tale tweaking "The Brothers Grimm" (2005).
