Justin Timberlake  

Birthday: January 31, 1981 justin9justin
Birth Place: Memphis, Tennessee

Favorite Food: Pasta and ceral

Favorite Colour: Light Blue

Hobby : Play basketball, sing and dance

 

Justin Timberlake's 'rents are Lynn Harless (who runs an entertainment management company called JustinTime) and Randy Timberlake. Justin's parents divorced when he was just five, with his dad re-marrying and having more children. Justin has two step-brothers named Stephen and Jonathan. Justin also had a half-sister, Laura Katherine, who died minutes after birth. His nicknames are curly, Ms. Smooth, shot, Bounce and The Baby.

Although Justin made his TV debut on the '80s talent show, Star Search, he lost that competition. Justin's first real break came when he was cast in The New Mickey Mouse Club (MMC). That's where he met Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Keri Russell, and future fellow *NSYNCer JC Chasez. As his Mickey Mouse Club days came to an end, a new project came up. Justin was invited to join a boy band by Lou Pearlman, a talent-agent-turned-scam-artist, who was already working with Chris Kirkpatrick. Justin invited his pal JC Chasez to join him and they were followed by Joey Fatone and Jason Watkins. Jason quickly dropped out and was replaced by Lance Bass. The newly formed boy band’s name was created by Justin’s mom – she took the last letter from each of the original boy’s first names to create *NSYNC. Despite being taken advantage of by their record company (the band was swindled out of hundreds of millions of dollars), *NSYNC enjoyed success for years to come with chart-topping albums like *NSYNC, No Strings Attached and Celebrity.

Justin has continued to keep busy during his post-*NSYNC days. In 2002, he released his first solo album, Justified, which featured singles like Cry Me a River and Rock Your Body. Justin has collaborated with the Black Eyed Peas and was featured on Nelly's song Work It. He formed his own record company in 2005, JayTee Records, and released a second solo album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, in 2006.

                Justin Says...

       "I'm just a very passionate person in everything I do. I really believe that whenever you do something you should put everything into it - otherwise, it's really not worth it."

       “ People think i am too stubborn and i do not have patience.”

 

 

                   In My Opinion...

 

         I love justin because i think he is really goog-looking and funny. This is my favorite Justin’s video:

    Beyoncé Giselle Knowles (born September 4, 1981) is an American R&B singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, dancer, fashion designer and model. Knowles rose to fame as the creative force and lead singer of R&B girl group Destiny's Child, the world's best-selling female group of all time.

    After a series of commercially successful releases with the group, Knowles released her debut solo album Dangerously in Love in 2003. The album became one of the biggest commercial successes of the year, topping the album charts in the U.S. and the UK. It also spawned the number-one singles "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy" and earned Knowles five Grammy Awards in a single night in 2004. Knowles' sophomore album, B’Day, which was released worldwide on September 4, 2006 (her twenty-fifth birthday), continued her success. The album spawned the UK number-one singles "Déjà Vu" and "Beautiful Liar", as well as the worldwide number-one hit "Irreplaceable". The album also earned Knowles her seventh solo Grammy Award (she has won ten in total).

    I love Beyoncé because her songs are really good and her voice is amazing. My favorite song is "Bautiful Liar". If you want to see her check it out this video :

U2 is an Irish band formed in 1976 by Bono Vox (Paul Hewson) in guitar and vocal, The Edge (Dave Evans) in guitar, keyboards and vocals, Adam Clayton in bass guitar and Larry Mullen Jr. in drums and percussion. The band has sold upwards 170 million albums worldwide and they have won 22 Grammy awards, the most of any rock artist.

220px-2005-11-21_U2_%40_MSG_by_ZGI like U2 not just they are a good band with good songs, I like because they are good people, not selfish riches. They are very intelligent and are interested in social problems in all world. Bono has gained a lot of money, and some of this money is used to do social projects in Africa. For me they are an example, the demonstration of good people can do a lot of help to the world. They use the music to help the world, a wonderful thing. I think they are a fantastic band.

   Jesse McCartney was born in 9-04-1987 in New York City to Scot McCartney and Ginger Sarber. He has one brother, Timothy ("Timmy") Glover Mark McCartney and one sister, Lea Joyce McCartney. In 1988, his family relocated to Ardsley, Westchester County, New York, where he grew up and lived until 2004.He´s a famous pop singer.

      McCartney played JR Chandler on the hit Soap Opera All My Children. McCartney began performing in local community musicals at the age of seven, before joining the National Tour of The King and I at the age of ten along with "Phil of the Future" star Ricky Ullman. He later appeared with The Who's Roger Daltrey in A Christmas Carol, before joining the children's group "Dream Street" as a vocalist and was a member from 1999 to 2002. He also stared in "Summerland" with Kay Panabaker, Zac Efron, and many more. He began work on a solo career with a local band, featuring musicians Dillon Kondor (guitar), Peter Chema (bass), Katie Spencer (keyboards), Alex Russek (drums), Karina LaGravinese (background vocals) and Sharisse Francisco (background vocals), under the management of Ginger McCartney and Sherry Goffin Kondor, who co-produced his first album, Beautiful Soul.

      McCartney released his first solo EP in July of 2003. The album featured three songs: "Beautiful Soul", "Don't You" and "Why Don't You Kiss Her".  His first full-length solo album, Beautiful Soul, which was two years in the making, was released later that year, on September 28. The album featured four songs co-written by McCartney, plus songs written by such heavy weights as Desmond Child and Chris Braide. The title song reached #2 on AOL Music and the "Beautiful Soul" music video performed well on MTV's Total Request Live, having been voted into the top 10 fifty times, and peaked at #4. The album, having sold over 1.5 million records, has achieved platinum status.

      McCartney guest-starred in the Disney Channel Original Comedy Series The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, episode #1.16 Rock Star in the House where he sang "Beautiful Soul". His first solo tour, also named "Beautiful Soul" (opened by singer/songwriter and actress Brie Larson) began on May 2, 2005 at the Crest Theatre in Sacrament, California.

       In Fall 2005, Jesse McCartney toured Australia, and opened for the Backstreet Boys in Europe. His latest album, entitled Right Where You Want Me, was released by Hollywood Records on September 19, 2006. The first single from the album, also called "Right Where You Want Me", began receiving radio play on July 11, 2006 and was written by Jesse McCartney, Adam Watts and Andy Dodd; McCartney, who co-wrote all of the songs on the new album, has said that he believes the single takes him in a "new direction musically". The song "Invincible" from Jesse's new album "Right Where You Want Me" was written (By Jesse) in memory of one of his friends who had died a few years ago in a car accident.

     McCartney will launch a new tour after the album's release. Though, a tour for the new album has not been financed. The shows that Jesse has been doing overseas were only for promotion purposes. It has been confirmed by his manager and he will only be doing a few shows the upcoming months in the states.

     It has been confirmed by his management that Jesse is in studios again writing and recording for his third album.

     He has been in and out of a relationship with long-time girlfriend, actress Katie Cassidy. Quote: "I've been in and out of a relationship for two-and-a-half years with Katie, and we've had our ups and downs."

     I love Jesse McCartney, he is perfect!

gisele-bundchen-picture-3The top model Gisele Bündchen lived in Horizontina, the interior of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, with her parents, and she was born on July 20, 1980. She has got two sisters.

 

At 14 (in 1994) she went to Curitiba, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro to take courses. But during the trip, in one of the São Paulo malls, the modeling scouts (who were waiting for the excursion there) liked her and invited her to come to their model agency. After that, she came back home waiting to see what would happen. Later, she took part in a contest which decided to take her to the international final in Ibiza, Spain. The contest confirmed the existence of the biotype for the profession. The choice of this profession made her move to São Paulo, where she was far away from her family.

 

Her first international trip was to Cuba, and the second one to Italy, both to take pictures for editorials of magazines meant for adolescent public. In 1996, the possibility of going to New York came up. From then on, she started searching for opportunities in the international market and the plane became her home.

 

In her leisure time, she likes horseback riding, singing karaoke, walking dogs in the park, playing volleyball on the beach, training on the trapeze and surfing. But, when she was a child, her hobbies were playing with her sisters in her neighborhood in the doll house or playing hide-and-seek in the street, she practiced gymnastics, athletics and she was obsessed with volleyball

 

Gisele is the top number one in the world, the most famous and the richest!! I find her perfect, and I loved her performance in Victoria’s Secret.However, she is beautiful in any other performances =)

 

I hope she lasts on the catwalks!

 

~º A DREAM

“To build a family as wonderful as my own and see a world without hungrer and war “

 

~°A THOUGHT

 “The choice of this profession would mean leaving my family and the quiet countryside life behind in Horizontina to face the difficulties of the profession, to live by myself and to be homesick. In São Paulo, I started doing countless tests in search for a job. After many "no´s", the things started happening. I was disciplined, persistent and determined to prove that I could really do that.”
