Emma Roberts

Emma Roberts was born on February 10, 1991 to actor Eric Roberts and his then girlfriend Kelly Cunningham. However, her parents broke up soon after her birth and faced each other in court over accusations of domestic violence. After Eric Roberts evicted both Cunningham and his daughter (then just seven month old) from his house in 1991, his sister, actress Julia Roberts, bought them a house. She also sided with Cunningham in the custody battle over Emma, resulting in a rift between her and her brother for the years to come.

While Eric Roberts lost the custody battle and hardly saw his daughter while she was growing up, Julia Roberts became friends with Cunningham and would often spend time with her niece. In early 2001, Emma Roberts' half-sister, Grace Nickels, the daughter of her mother and former L.A. Guns bassist Kelly Nickels, was born.

Following her father and her aunt into the movie business, Emma Roberts made her acting debut in Ted Demme's 2001 drama Blow, alongside Johnny Depp, at the age of nine. As the film about cocaine smuggler George Jung is rated R, her mother reportedly will not allow Roberts to see it before she turns eighteen. In 2001 Roberts also starred in Leif Tilden's 10-minute short film bigLove and was an uncredited extra in the Julia Roberts movie America's Sweethearts. She went on to appear in smaller roles in the family films Grand Champion and Spymate. In August 2003, Roberts was scheduled to shoot Daisy Winters, starring as the title character in the independent film, co-starring Rachel Weisz.[4] However, the film, which was written and to be directed by Beth LaMure and which would have been Roberts first leading role, got into budget problems and was never shot.

At age thirteen, Emma Roberts became a teen idol, starring as the lead character Addie Singer in the Nickelodeon series Unfabulous, which debuted in September 2004. The teen sitcom earned her a 2004 Teen Choice Award nomination and two nominations for the 2005 Young Artist Award and was quickly renewed for a second season. As her character on Unfabulous writes songs and records them on her computer, Nickelodeon soon also considered a career in music for Roberts, similar to other actress/pop singers such as Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan. Roberts first contributed the song "If I Had It My Way" to the soundtrack of Disney's 2005 film Ice Princess. It was followed by her debut album, Unfabulous and More: Emma Roberts, which was released on September 27, 2005 and is also the Unfabulous soundtrack.

In 2006 Emma Roberts will be appearing alongside singer JoJo in Aquamarine and is also set to star in Camp Couture (produced by her mother Kelly Cunningham) and Bras and Broomsticks. She also signed on to play Nancy Drew in Nancy Drew: The Mystery in Hollywood Hills, to be directed by Andrew Fleming.

Ciara

Dubbed the "First Lady of Crunk & B" by the producer who should know, Lil Jon, singer Ciara burst onto the scene with the never-gonna-get-it single "Goodies," the breathy "answer song" to Petey Pablo's "Freek-a-Leek." She was born in Austin, TX, but with her father in the Army, Ciara spent time living in Germany, New York, California, Arizona, and Nevada before landing in Atlanta.

 

In her early teens, she got a piece of paper out and wrote down her life's goal, to become a professional singer. She joined a girl group, worked on her songwriting, left the group, landed a publishing deal, and found a "music soul mate" when she met producer Jazze Pha. With Sean Garrett, the co-writer of Usher's massive hit "Yeah!," Ciara co-wrote "Goodies," and when Lil Jon heard the demo, he knew it was going to be big.

 

LaFace released the Lil Jon-produced track in the summer of 2004, and its quick climb up the charts was remarkable. With help from Pha, Garrett, and Lil Jon, Ciara released her self-titled debut in September the same year

Evangeline Lilly

Date of birth:  August 3, 1979,   Hometown: Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada,   Vital stats:,   5'5"

"I love being as close as I can to the earth and nature. I'm not afraid of bugs or animals. I love that kind of stuff!"

She bewitched American audiences as Kate in the ABC hit television series Lost and has also appeared on the silver screen as the spokesmodel for the chat line "Livelinks" and in the TV shows Judgment Day and Kingdom Hospital. Keep an eye out for her later this year in the comedy thriller The Long Weekend.

"Every girl has got ying. My style is yang. I always have something slightly masculine about the way I dress. I like trousers better than skirts. I may wear a man's tie with a very feminine outfit, a fedora or a men's suit jacket. I don't like to wear earrings because my ears kind of stick out. I may wear a ring, or anklet, or bracelet or a necklace, but not all at once. I never want to look too perfect, too fancy, or too glamorous."

"I always loved acting and being in front of people like that, but the industry is so corrupt and immoral. I just didn't know where I would fit in."

As a foreign missionary, Evangeline has traveled to over 14 countries, including the Philippines, where she lived in a grass hut in the jungle.

Monica Cruz

Mónica Cruz Sánchez (born March 16, 1977) is an actress, dancer and model.

Cruz was born the daughter of Encarna Sánchez, a hairdresser, and Eduardo Cruz, a retailer and auto mechanic. Her sister Penelope Cruz is an actress, and brother Eduardo is a Spanish singer. Monica and her two siblings grew up in the predominantly working-class suburb of Alcobendas, just north of Madrid. The family may have lacked money, but they more than made up for it with the burgeoning talent contained within Monica and her sister, Penelope. The sisters distinguished themselves as promising young dancers, and they both received professional instruction; Penelope attended Spain’s National Conservatory, while Monica enrolled in The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) to study traditional ballet and flamenco.

Upon graduating from the RAD, Monica joined Joaquin Cortés’ dance company. Cortés is one of the world’s top-rated flamenco dancers, and Monica stayed with his groundbreaking group for seven years until, in 2002, she decided to follow Penelope’s lead and become an actress. By 2005, Monica justified her career shift by becoming a star on the popular Spanish television show Un Paso adelante along with actors like Beatriz Luengo, Pablo Puyol, Silvia Marty and Lola Herrera. She has since appeared in the films L’Inchiesta (2006), Last Hour (2006) -- a thriller starring Michael Madsen and DMX -- and Liolà (2007).

Monica was exceptionally busy in 2006 and 2007. She logged hours on four large-scale projects: the Spanish TV series La Bella Otero, and the films Caminando (2007), The Blackening(2007) and Astérix aux jeux olympiques (2008), which also stars Gerard Depardieu.

In the film Iron Cross (film) Monica stars alongside Roy Scheider, as Gaby. Currently the film is in post-production and is slated for release summer 2009.
