Robyn Rihanna Fenty was born in the parish of St. Michael, Barbados, on February 18, 1988. Growing up,

Rihanna led a relatively simple, average life on her island home. She attended Combermere, a kind of technical high school,

and, despite having a natural singing talent, she didn't give much thought to performing -- aside from singing with her

friends for fun. At one point, though, Rihanna did enter a beauty and talent pageant at her school. Singing Mariah Carey's

"Hero" as part of the talent component, Rihanna went on to win the competition. But that performance and singing in the shower or in

front of the mirror was the extent of her

musical experience before 2004. def

would change Rihanna's life forever. A New York City record producer, Evan Rogers, was vacationing with his Barbadian wife

Jackie near Rihanna's home. A mutual friend introduced them, and after Rihanna belted out a few tunes for Rogers, he realized

her potential and invited her to New York to record some demo songs. Rihanna jumped at the opportunity to sing

professionally, and she took Rogers up on his offer the following spring.

Catherine Zeta-Jones was born and raised in the Welsh town of Swansea where her father ran the town

confectionery. Though it was a very small town, Zeta-Jones took advantage of the church's amateur drama group, and was

singing and dancing by the time she was four. When Zeta-Jones was 14, former Monkees star Mickey Dolenz was touring Britain

in a musical that required the participation of local teens. Catherine auditioned and won a spot on the chorus. The producers were so impressed with her talent that once the show closed

they whisked her off to London to star in a production of The Pyjama Game. By the time she was 17, Zeta-Jones had the lead in

the British revival of 42nd Street. She made the transition to television when she appeared in the British comedy/drama The

Darling Buds of May, turning her into a major sex symbol. Practically overnight her life changed and she was constantly

hounded by the paparazzi.

In fact it was after accidently driving her car into a lamp post while evading the paparazzi, that she decided

to flee Britain to live in the United States. At first Catherine snagged small roles in movies such as The Phantom and Christopher

Columbus: The Discovery, but her big break came when by chance, Steven Spielberg caught her performance in the 1996

miniseries Titanic, and was impressed by her talent and beauty. He cast her in The Mask Of Zorro. She has two children with

husband Michael Douglas: son Dylan, and daughter Carys

Jennifer Aniston (her original family name was Anastassakis), was born on February 11, 1969, in Sherman

Oaks, California. Daughter to actors Nancy and John Aniston, and the goddaughter of Telly Savalas, Jennifer was exposed to

acting at an early age. Of Greek descent, she spent a year of her childhood living in Greece. Her family eventually returned

to the U.S., settling in New York when her father landed the role of the villainous Victor Kiriakis on the NBC soap opera

Days of Our Lives. After her parents divorced in 1980, Aniston lived primarily with her mother. Two years later, she enrolled

at the Rudolf Steiner School, where she was a member of the drama

club. She went on to attend New York City’s renowned High School of Performing Arts, where she was educated in theater and

fine arts. Although she was an artist of considerable talent (one of her paintings was chosen to be exhibited at

New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art), Aniston opted for a professional acting career. After her graduation in 1987, Aniston

appeared in a number of TV commercials and off-Broadway productions, including For Dear Life at New York’s Public Theater,

and Dancing on Checker’s Grave. During this time, the struggling actress often supplemented her income by waitressing. In an

attempt to find more lucrative work, she moved to Los Angeles, where she was featured in her first television role on the

short-lived sitcom Molloy (1990). During the early 1990s, Aniston landed a succession of supporting roles in failed

television sitcoms, including Ferris Bueller (1990), Herman’s Head (1991), The Edge (1992), and Muddling Through (1994). She

also managed to make her feature acting debut in the poorly received horror film Leprechaun (1993). Still determined, the

actress auditioned for yet another TV pilot called Friends (1994), which focused on a group of 20-something New Yorkers.

Impressed with her delivery, the producers cast Aniston in the role of suburban princess turned waitress Rachel Green. The series met with both

critical and commercial acclaim when it premiered, making household names of Aniston and her costars — Matthew Perry, Matt

LeBlanc, Courteney Cox Arquette, David Schwimmer, and Lisa Kudrow. The success of the show was followed by a wealth of media

attention. Aniston’s popularity was confirmed when she was listed among People magazine’s “Most Intriguing People” of 1995

and 1996. Furthermore, the layered hairstyle that she adopted in the early years of the show became such an overwhelming

trend with American women that Rolling Stone named her “America's First Hairdo.” Aniston has since tried to translate her TV

stardom into success on the big screen. She has appeared in several lighthearted films, including the well-received romantic

comedy She’s the One (1996) with Edward Burns and Cameron Diaz, and Picture Perfect (1997) which brought Aniston her first

leading role as well as a $2 million paycheck. In 1998’s screen adaptation of Stephen McCauley's novel The Object of My

Affection, she delivered a commendable performance as a

pregnant social worker who falls for her gay friend. In 1999, Aniston provided the voice of Annie Hughes in the animated

fantasy feature The Iron Giant. She is set to join a stellar cast, including Susan Sarandon, Sally Field and Angelica Huston,

in 2000’s Time of Our Lives. In September 2001, she starred as the girlfriend-manager of heavy metal singer Mark Wahlberg in

Rock Star. A year later, she earned critical film acclaim for The Good Girl, where she starred as a dispirited store clerk

searching for a more meaningful life.Friends remains one of the most

popular sitcoms on television. In 2000, after a widely publicized battle with NBC, Aniston and her fellow cast members

negotiated a salary of $750,000 per episode. The show won its first Emmy for its 8th season in 2002. That same year, Aniston

received a Best Actress Emmy for her role as Rachel. In addition to her professional strides, she has remained in the

headlines for her high-profile personal relationships. In 1995, she dated Counting Crows band member Adam Duritz, before

starting a three-year relationship with actor Tate Donovan, which ended in 1998. Later that year, she began a serious romance

with actor Brad Pitt. Aniston and Pitt were married July 29, 2000, in Malibu, California

Child actress Lindsay Lohan was already an

experienced performer when she made her feature debut in the 1998 remake of The Parent Trap. Born in New York City, Lohan

began modeling at age three. After appearing in numerous TV commercials, Lohan moved to series TV with a role on the daytime serial Another World from 1996 to 1997.

Cast as The Parent Trap's scheming twin sisters after a six month search for just the right girl, Lohan succeeded in filling

Hayley Mills' shoes, winning over audiences with her pert charm as both the Californian Hallie and the British-raised Annie.

She subsequently starred in the Disney TV film Life-Size (2000). Subsequently cast in actress Bette Midler's shortlived

sitcom Bette, Lohan took a turn as a teenage gossip columnist (Get a Clue (2002)) before turning up in yet another remake of

a Disney classic, Freaky Friday (2003). Lohan kicked off 2004 with her first big starring vehicle, the comedy Confessions of

a Teenage Drama Queen. Met with mixed reviews and modest box-office receipts, the film didn't prove to be a huge hit.

However, it would only be two months before Lohan finally proved she

could carry a winner. The Tina Fey-penned Mean Girls debuted at number one, recouping its budget and then some in its first

week of release. Lohan quickly became a tabloid fixture with her fluctuating weight, tales of ongoing debauchery, a string of

occasionally high-profile male companions, family drama involving her incarcerated father, and feuds with a variety of other young female celebrities. All of the hullabaloo seemed to have little effect on her work

as she starred in Herbie: Fully Loaded for Disney before graduating to more adult fare with Robert Altman's A Prairie Home

Companion where she was very good in her scenes with Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin. Her first shot at an adult romantic

comedy, Just My Luck, fell flat at the box office. Undaunted, Lohan set

to work on the comedy Georgia Rule, in which she played a rebellious teenage daughter who is hauled off to live with her

grandmother for the summer. Ironically, Lohan's behavior during filming was so infamous irrisponsible that director Garry

Marshall blasted her in public for holding up shooting. The problems did not stop there for the actress, as just under a year

later, she departed the adaptation of playwright Sharman MacDonald's The Best Time of Our Lives where she was poised to play

Welsh poet Dylan Tomas' wife Caitlin -- a role eventually filled by Sienna Miller. Lohan also released two albums of pop

music, Spark, and A Little More Personal.

be seen on the small screen in a series of Spike Lee-directed commercials for Pepsi-Cola. She is also the spokesperson for
