Christina Milian

Born September 26, 1981, is an American R&B and pop singer-songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actress. Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, Milian moved to Los Angeles when she was thirteen years old, desiring to be an actress. By the time she was seventeen, Milian had begun writing songs to help her obtain a recording contract. Milian has released three studio albums, and is currently recording a fourth album, which is due spring 2009.
Milian's self-titled debut album was released in 2001 and spawned the singles "AM to PM" and "When You Look at Me". Both singles peaked in the top three on the UK Singles Chart. During the release of her debut album, Milian felt that her label was confused as to how they wanted her image to be portrayed. She began recording a new album, but decided to take a break and toured overseas. After a year and a half, Milian resumed work on her second studio album. The album was released in 2004 and was entitled It's About Time, a reference to the amount of time it took her to complete. The album's lead single, "Dip It Low", became Milian's biggest hit to date, peaking at number two in the UK and number five in the United States. Milian's third studio album, So Amazin' (2006), featured Cool & Dre producing the majority of the album. The album's only single, "Say I", saw moderate commercial success worldwide, as did the album itself. A month after the release of So Amazin', Milian's representative confirmed that she had left the Island Def Jam record label due to "creative differences". Later that year, Milian released her first compilation album, titled The Best of Christina Milian. She has signed with MySpace Records, and will release her new album under the label.
Although Milian is best known for her singing career, she originally wanted to be an actress. Milian was cast in her first lead role in Love Don't Cost a Thing, played a main role in Be Cool and the horror film Pulse, and is set to appear in The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, alongside Matthew McConaughey. Often compared to Beyoncé Knowles and Jennifer Lopez, Milian has been described as a role model, and her mother, Carmen, currently manages her musical and theatrical careers.

Dawn French
Born 11 October 1957. Is a British actress and comedian. In her career, she has been nominated for six BAFTA Awards. She is best-known for starring in and writing her comedy sketch show, French and Saunders, alongside her comedy partner Jennifer Saunders, and for playing the lead role of Geraldine Granger in the sitcom The Vicar of Dibley.
French met her husband Lenny Henry on the alternative comedy circuit. The couple married on 20 October 1984, and have an adopted daughter, Billie. French has stated that Billie has always known that she was adopted, but once took out an injunction when a biographer came close to revealing the identity of Billie's biological mother. When faced with a question about how she and Lenny Henry would feel if Billie wanted to find out about her birth mother, French commented "Whatever she wants to do when she's 18, we'll support her. What I do worry about is anyone else making the decision for her."
The couple had a home in Shinfield, near Reading, in Berkshire which they recently sold to buy a property in Cornwall where French intends to spend the rest of her life. It was once misinterpreted by the press that she was going there specifically to die because of an alleged belief that she would die prematurely. This thought was due to her recent large weight gain, she is now very 'large', weighing well over 25 stone. She quashed these rumours while appearing on Parkinson in November 2007 stating that she likes, "being in one place" and simply hopes that this will be her last move. Both her grandmothers have lived to be well over the age of ninety. The £2.3 million mansion with 40 rooms overlooks a smugglers' cove in the Daphne du Maurier country. The grade II-listed building dates back to the 19th century.

Teri Hatcher

Hatcher was born in Covina, California, the daughter of Esther (née Beshur), a computer programmer who worked for Lockheed Martin, and Owen W. Hatcher, a nuclear physicist and electrical engineer. Hatcher's father was of Welsh and distant Choctaw Native American descent, and her mother had French, German, and Lebanese ancestry. Hatcher grew up in Sunnyvale, California. An only child, she attended Mango Junior High (now Sunnyvale Middle School), Fremont High School in Sunnyvale and De Anza College in Cupertino.
In March 2006, Hatcher revealed to Vanity Fair that she was allegedly sexually abused from the age of five by Richard Hayes Stone, an uncle by marriage who was later divorced by Hatcher's aunt. Her parents, she said, were unaware of the abuse at the time. In 2002, she assisted Santa Clara County prosecutors with their indictment of Stone for a more recent molestation that led his female victim to commit suicide at the age of eleven. Stone pled guilty to four counts of child molestation and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. In an interview appearing in Vanity Fair, Hatcher said she told the prosecutors about her own abuse because she was haunted by thoughts of the 11-year-old girl who shot herself, and feared Stone might escape conviction. Stone died of colon cancer on August 19, 2008, having served six years of his sentence.
Between 1985 and 1988, she had a relationship with her MacGyver costar Richard Dean Anderson. Hatcher married Marcus Leithold on June 4, 1988; they divorced the following year. On May 27, 1994, she married actor Jon Tenney; they had a daughter, Emerson Rose, in November 10, 1997, and divorced in March 2003. Hatcher has also been dating Stephen Kay, who played Reginald, the Quartermaines' butler, on General Hospital. Since then she and Stephen have broken up.
In June 2007, Hatcher appeared on The Paul O'Grady Show where she revealed that she writes a column in Glamour.
In February 2008, Hydroderm sued Hatcher for breach of contract, claiming that she had promoted the beauty products of other companies. She insisted that her promotion of CityLips' lip plumper did not affect the Hydroderm deal. Her attorney Alan Wertheimer called the lawsuit an "unjustified and public assault" on her "good name, reputation and celebrity." Her lawyer persuaded a judge in Los Angeles to move the case to arbitration.
