Sandra Bullock Biography News Profile Relationships Photo Wallpaper Video.

Actress. Born Sandra Annette Bullock on July 26, 1964, in Arlington, Virginia. In the 1990s, Bullock established herself as a marketable leading lady in a series of comedy and action films.

Born on the outskirts of Washington, D.C., to a German opera singer and a voice teacher, Bullock grew up largely on the road. She studied music and dance while she traveled throughout Europe, and made her first stage appearance at the age of 5 in a small role for an opera in Nuremburg, Germany. The performance helped her to develop a love of the stage, and she began appearing regularly in the Nuremburg children's choir. When Bullock was 12,
her family moved back to the D.C. area, where she attended Washington-Lee High School. Bullock had no problem fitting in, becoming involved in cheerleading and school theater productions until her graduation in 1982. Bullock then enrolled in East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, to study acting,
but left college only three credits shy of her bachelor's degree. Instead, she moved to New York in 1986 to pursue acting in earnest. She joined the Neighborhood Playhouse Theatre, where she took acting classes, and supported herself with waitressing and bartending work.
Bullock landed her first gig at the age of 21 in an off-Broadway production of No Time Flat. Bullock used the critical acclaim for her role in the play, to land an agent. But Bullock's early acting jobs, which included bit parts in TV movies and B-movies, were unsuccessful and sometimes embarrassing. She made a short run as Tess McGill on the ill-fated NBC sitcom Working Girl (based on the hit movie of the same name), followed by a co-starring role in the romantic comedy Love Potion No. 9 (1992).
 
In 1993, Bullock replaced Lori Petty in the futuristic Sylvester Stallone vehicle Demolition Man, but critics largely panned the film as "incoherent" and "one-dimensional." It was in the box-office hit Speed (1994), that Bullock first earned widespread recognition. Playing opposite Keanu Reeves, Bullock's plucky performance helped propel the commercial success of what was an otherwise generic action feature.
In the mid-1990s, Bullock appeared in steady stream of big-budget productions of varying commercial success. While films like While You Were Sleeping (1995), The Net (1995), and A Time to Kill (1996) performed well, others such as Two If By Sea (1996) and Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997),
were box-office flops. In an attempt to expand her dramatic range, Bullock appeared as an alcoholic newspaper columnist sent to rehab, in 28 Days (2000).
The film, a mix of dark comedy and melodrama, received tepid reviews, although her comedy Miss Congeniality did well at the box office that same year. After a brief hiatus, Bullock returned in early 2002 with Murder by Numbers, a crime thriller in which she plays a detective responsible for tracking down a duo of thrill-killers.
She also appeared in a film version of the best-selling novel The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and Two Weeks' Notice, a romantic comedy co-starring Hugh Grant.

Dianna Agron Biography News Profile Relationships Photo Wallpaper Video.

A triple-threat performer with a beauty queen smile, Dianna Agron first gained notoriety as the mean-girl cheerleader who gets taught a lesson by Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere) on NBC's cult hit, "Heroes" (2006- ). A talented actress, singer and dancer, Agron became a household name with yet another mean-girl cheerleader - this time as Quinn Fabray, the conflicted head Cheerio and celibacy club leader who finds herself pregnant on creator Ryan Murphy's breakout musical drama hit, "Glee" (Fox, 2009- ). Able to finally showcase her full range of talents on the popular program, Agron captured the hearts of audiences, bringing a more touching, human side to the resident high school beauty queen than usually shown onscreen. Exhibiting versatility and vulnerability, Agron proved why she was more than just a fresh pretty face.

Born April 30, 1986 in Savannah, GA to Ron and Mary Agron, she was raised in San Francisco, CA. A bourgeoning performer from a young age, Agron began to take dance lessons at the age of three and continued studying ballet and jazz dance throughout her childhood.
Involved in musical theater as a teen at Burlingame High School, Agron became interested in acting and aspired to pursue a professional career upon graduation. Relocating to Los Angeles at the age of 18, she enrolled in acting classes and appeared in a number of student films to gain experience. Agron made her professional acting debut in 2006, landing a small role in "After Midnight: Life Behind Bars," a forgettable made-for-TV movie about LA's nightlife.
 
Though not the most promising career start, Agron used that role to land a series of small TV parts in episodes of "CSI: NY" (CBS, 2004- ), Nickelodeon's "Drake & Josh" (2004-07), and "Shark" (FOX, 2006-08). She went on to appear opposite Kristen Bell as rich-kid Hearst College student Jenny Budosh on the popular teen detective series, "Veronica Mars" (UPN/The CW, 2004-07).
 
Agron next appeared as a cat-loving retail store greeter in "It's a Mall World," a series of short webisodes for American Eagle Outfitters directed by actor and future "Heroes" star Milo Ventimiglia. The webisodes aired online and ran as an advertising campaign during episodes of MTV's "The Real World: Sydney" (2007-08).
 
In 2007, Agron received a major career boost when cast as stuck-up head cheerleader Debbie Marshall opposite the indestructible Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere) on the second season of NBC's cult superhero drama "Heroes." After a four-episode arc on the hit series, Agron appeared on the CBS crime drama "Numb3rs" (2005- ), as well as in a number of small projects, including the web-based series "Celebrities Anonymous" (2009), the short film "Dinner With Raphael" (2009) and "A Fuchsia Elephant" (2009), a 10-minute short which Agron wrote, directed and starred in
 
Agron's big break was still to come, however, arriving in the form of yet another primetime cheerleader; this time as musically gifted head "Cheerio" Quinn Fabray on the breakout musical hit, "Glee" (2009- ). Created by Ryan Murphy of "Nip/Tuck" (FX, 2003- ) fame, the pilot was initially broadcast after FOX's perennial hit "American Idol" (2002- ) in May 2009.
 
Somewhat surprisingly, the episode - sans any A-list talent outside of film comedienne Jane Lynch - pulled in a solid 9.6 million viewers and hooked audiences for the show's fall premiere. Centered on a group of misfit glee club students at an Ohio high school, "Glee" caught on quickly with viewers, leading fans of the series to anoint themselves 'Gleeks.' Picked up to full series after its third episode, "Glee" rose to become one of the network's top new shows, with sales from the series' first soundtrack landing on Billboard's Top Ten sales chart only two months after the series' fall premiere.
With her dance and musical theater background, Agron was a natural fit for the show. She had performed a rendition of Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon" during her audition for the series - a mere day before filming was set to start on the pilot - so there was no doubt in her vocal skills.
However, it was not until the second episode that Agron's true talents began to shine. When Quinn decides to infiltrate the glee club in order to keep an eye on boyfriend Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith), she leads the Cheerios into a sugar-sweet rendition of Dionne Warwick's "Say a Little Prayer" - a number that showcased Agron's vocals and gift for musical theater.
Faced with a teen pregnancy as the series progressed, Quinn began to develop as a character, allowing Agron to delve deeper as an actress and make possible the seemingly impossible - bringing vulnerability and likability to the often caricatured bitchy, popular high school girl.

Kirk Douglas Biography News Profile Relationships Photo Wallpaper Video.

Actor, author. Born Issur Danielovitch on December 9, 1916, in Amsterdam, New York. Known for his distinctive voice, strapping physique, and cleft chin, Kirk Douglas was a popular leading man during the 1950s and 1960s. The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, he grew up poor. Douglas did odd jobs to pay for his college and support himself while pursuing his acting studies at the American Academy of Dramatic Art.

After serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II and having a brief career on the Broadway stage, Kirk Douglas made his first Hollywood film, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946) with Barbara Stanwyck. Three years later, he gave a breakthrough performance in Champion (1949) as a boxer who stops at nothing to make it to the top. He amazed audiences and critics alike with his portrayal of Midge Kelly, which earned him his first Academy Award nomination.
 
A sought-after actor, Douglas worked with many leading directors, including Billy Wilder in 1951's The Big Carnival. But it was his work with Vincente Minnelli that led two of his greatest performances: morally bankrupt movie executive Jonathan Shields in The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) and the troubled artist Vincent van Gogh in Lust for Life (1956). Douglas earned an Academy Award nomination for each of those films.
 
Along with his critical successes, Douglas was a big office box draw as well. Over the years, he often appeared with friend and fellow Hollywood heavyweight Burt Lancaster in such films as the western drama Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957), The Devil's Disciple (1959), and Seven Days in May (1964). Working with director Stanley Kubrick, he also starred in the World War I drama Paths of Glory (1957) and in Spartacus (1960). His work in Spartacus as a Roman slave—and the film's title character—who leads an uprising is considered to be one of his signature roles.
In 1970s, Douglas tried his hand at directing with little success. Both of his directorial efforts—Scalawag (1973) and Posse (1975)—failed to make much of an impression on movie-goers. His acting career also stalled around this time. Some of his more memorable later films include The Man from Snowy River (1982) and Tough Guys (1986), which reunited him with Lancaster for the last time.
 
While one phrase of his life was slowing down, another was just beginning. In 1989, Douglas shared his life story in his best-selling autobiography, The Ragman's Son. He has also showed a talent for fiction, including Dance with the Devil (1990) and The Gift (1992). One of his nonfiction works, Climbing the Mountain: My Search for Meaning (1997) was published shortly after Douglas experienced a nearly fatal stroke in 1995.
Not one to be daunted by personal setbacks, Douglas did not let his stroke slow him down for long. It did, however, affect his speech, but it did not stop him from acting. He starred in the 1999 comedy Diamonds with Dan Aykroyd, Lauren Bacall, and Jenny McCarthy.
 
He also was nominated for an Emmy Award for a guest appearance on the inspirational television drama Touched by an Angel in 2000. More recently, he co-starred with son Michael Douglas in the 2003 drama It Runs in the Family. Douglas also continues to write—his latest work is Let's Face It: 90 Years of Living, Loving, and Learning (2007).

Kiefer Sutherland Biography News Profile Relationships Photo Wallpaper Video.

He was born Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland on December 21, 1966 in London, England. Kiefer and his twin sister, Rachel, were born to acting parents Donald Sutherland and Shirley Douglas, who divorced in 1971. After the divorce, Kiefer and his mother moved from their home in Los Angeles to Toronto where he attended Catholic boarding school until he was 15.

His interest in acting took him to the stage at an early age, in a production of Throne of Strow. In 1983, he appeared in his first feature film, Max Dugan Returns, alongside his father. He appeared in numerous coming-of-age films throughout the 1980s, including The Bay Boy, Rob Reiner's Stand by Me and the vampire thriller The Lost Boys. In 1986, Sutherland founded Still Water Productions, named after a river that ran through his Montana ranch.
 
In 1990, Sutherland earned national attention for his role in Flatliners, a psychodrama costarring Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin and Julia Roberts. Two years later, he starred in the blockbuster A Few Good Men, and within a year, he made his directorial debut with the television drama Last Light, in which he also starred as a prison inmate.
 
The late 1990s showcased Sutherland's preference for dark, intensely psychological scripts. In 1997, he starred in the modern film noir The Last Days of Frankie the Fly and the science fiction-mystery film Dark City. He released his second self-directed TV movie, Woman Wanted in 1999, as well as the psychotic drama Ground Control.
 
Sutherland shifted gears in 2000 for Picking Up the Pieces, a satirical comedy infused with screwball humor. The same year, he starred in Stephen Hopkins' hit series 24, which earned him a Golden Globe award.

In September 2007, Sutherland was arrested in West Los Angeles after making an illegal U-turn and failing a field sobriety test. Already on probation for a 2004 drunken driving arrest, he pleaded no contest and served 48 days in jail.

Sutherland returned as Jack Bauer in the made-for-television movie, 24: Redemption,in November 2008. The show's seventh season is scheduled to air in 2009.
 
Sutherland was married to Camelia Kath from 1987-1990. He has a daughter, Sarah Jude, along with a stepdaughter, Michelle Kath, from Camelia's marriage to Chicago guitarist and singer Terry Kath. Sutherland married Kelly Winn in 1996; the couple separated in 1999, and Kiefer officially filed for divorce in 2004. He has two stepsons from that marriage.

Rush Limbaugh Biography News Profile Relationships Photo Wallpaper Video.

Rush Limbaugh Biography News Profile Relationships Photo Wallpaper Video.Rush Limbaugh Biography News Profile Relationships Photo Wallpaper Video.With his 1992 book The Way Things Ought to Be having spent well over a year on the best-seller list and the release of his 1993 follow-up, See, I Told You So, receiving the largest first printing of any book in U.S. history--two million copies--there seemed to be no end in sight to the high visibility of the rotund right-wing talk-show host Rush Limbaugh. By 1993 his syndicated three-hour radio program, "The Rush Limbaugh Show," which debuted in 1988, had become the most popular talk show on radio, reaching an estimated 20 million listeners daily. This spawned in the fall of 1992 a syndicated half-hour television show that quickly climbed in the ratings hot sex girlfriend.
 
Claiming that he had "talent on loan from God," Limbaugh filled his programs with political commentary as served up from the conservative right, satire, and a heavy dose of Limbaugh himself; he rarely, if ever, had guests, and his screened callers were among his legion of fans known as "dittoheads." Of that audience he has said, "They think I've got the truth.
 
And I'll tell you what--they're right." His daily "truths" often enraged the many special-interest groups he targeted, including feminists, whose movement the twice-married and twice-divorced Limbaugh once said was established "to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream"; the homeless, the vast majority of whom, he insisted, were "demented in one way or another"; and the Democratic Party, which he claimed was "the party that can't wait to fund every abortion in the world."
 
Rush Hudson Limbaugh III was born in Cape Girardeau, Mo., in 1951, the elder of two sons. At the age of 16 he began working at the local radio station before and after school. After graduation from high school, he attended Southeast Missouri State University for one year and then dropped out. He left home in 1971 seeking a career in radio, but after being fired from stations in Pittsburgh, Pa., and Kansas City, Mo., he quit radio in 1978 to work in ticket sales for the Kansas City Royals professional baseball team.
 
After five years he was back in radio as a news commentator, but he was fired for being too controversial. However, his controlled ad-lib manner was just what station KFBK in Sacramento, Calif., was looking for in 1984 to replace the outgoing Morton Downey, Jr., who exhibited a wild and often offensive style. Within a year Limbaugh had become the top radio host in Sacramento. Then in 1988 EFM Media Management signed him to a two-year contract and took him to New York City, where his national broadcast debuted on August

Uma Thurman Biography News Profile Relationships Photo Wallpaper Video.

Following an unorthodox childhood spent being raised a Buddhist and modeling in New York at a young age, actress Uma Thurman jumped into feature films at 16 years old and never looked back. After mature performances in two independent films, Thurman broke through as an ingénue in the erotic drama "Dangerous Liaisons" (1988). From there, she developed a talent for playing alluring young women with ulterior motives, culminating in a head-turning performance in "Henry and June" (1990), the first movie to ever be rated NC-17. But it was her modern take on the classic femme fatale in "Pulp Fiction" (1994) that made her a star and an Academy Award nominee, leading to a series of roles in high-profile studio films like "Batman & Robin" (1997) and "The Avengers" (1998).
While generating headlines for her marriage to actor Ethan Hawke, Thurman's career took a pseudo-hiatus to bear and raise the couple's two children. After their divorce in 2003, Thurman returned to the screen with a vengeance in "Kill Bill, Vol. 1" (2003) and "Kill Bill, Vol. 2" (2004), which happily reminded audiences of her ability to tackle unconventional material with both passion and skill.
Born on Apr. 29, 1970 in Boston, MA, Thurman was raised in an atypical home with a storied family history. Her maternal grandfather, Baron Karl von Schlebrugge, was a Swedish nobleman who was jailed by the Nazis during World War II for refusing to betray his Jewish business partners, and her maternal grandmother, Brigit Holmquist, was a famous model in Sweden who, in 1930, posed nude for a statue that overlooked the harbor in Smygehuk. Thurman was raised by her father, Robert, a professor of Eastern religious studies at Columbia University, who became the first American to be ordained as a Tibetan monk. Meanwhile, her mother, Nena von Schlebrugge, was a fashion model born in Mexico City who was introduced by Salvador Dalí to Timothy Leary, whom she married before Thurman's father. Though born in Boston, Thurman spent time at the family's bohemian summer retreat in Woodstock, NY and also traveled to the Far East, including several stops in India.
After leaving the Northfield Mount Herman School, where she performed in plays, and Amherst Regional Junior High School, she moved to New York on her own to attend the Professional Children's School and earn a substantial amount of money as a model. By the time she was 16, Thurman left school to pursue an acting career, making her film debut in "Kiss Daddy Goodnight" (1987), a low-budget thriller in which she played a young seductress who lures unsuspecting men with the promise of sex,
 
only to drug and rob them. She immediately followed up with another lowball indie, "Johnny Be Good" (1988), a raunchy teen comedy starring Anthony Michael Hall as a hotshot high school quarterback being recruited by top colleges. Thurman received widespread attention for her performance in Stephen Frears' "Dangerous Liaisons" (1988), playing the virginal Cecile de Volanges, who becomes the initial target for seduction by the misogynistic Vicomte de Valmont (John Malkovich) as the result of a cruel wager between him and his former lover, the Marquise de Merteuil (Glenn Close).
 
Well on her way to becoming an established actress, Thurman upped her profile as the Goddess of Love in Terry Gilliam's madcap opus, "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" (1989). But it was her portrayal of June Miller, wife of famed author Henry Miller (Fred Ward) in Philip Kaufman's "Henry and June" (1990), that revealed her to be an actress with considerable depth and ability. Thurman exuded charm and allure as June, who allows her husband to get involved with author,
 
Anaïs Nin (Maria de Medeiros), while also having her own affair with the struggling writer. After playing Maid Marion in a gritty take on "Robin Hood" (1991), she turned in another strong performance as a blind woman targeted by a serial killer in Bruce Robinson's dark "Jennifer 8" (1992), which she followed with a performance as a sultry patient under the care of a San Francisco psychiatrist (Richard Gere) in "Final Analysis" (1992). Around this time, Thurman was getting a divorce from actor Gary Oldman, whom she met while visiting the set of "State of Grace" (1990) when she was 18. The short marriage lasted only two years, ending in 1992.
 
Back on the big screen, Thurman played an indentured servant to a cop (Robert De Niro) and gangster (Bill Murray) in the unusual gangster romance "Mad Dog and Glory" (1993). In Gus Van Sant's lumbering "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" (1994), a long-awaited, but unsatisfying adaptation of the popular Tom Robbins novel, Thurman's talents were virtually wasted in the leading role of hitchhiker Sissy Hankshaw.
 
But Thurman was catapulted into the limelight with a strong turn as the drug-taking wife of a Los Angeles gangster (Ving Rhames) in Quentin Tarantino's phenomenon-creating crime noir, "Pulp Fiction" (1994). Though the time-jumping film focused on several characters, including two philosophizing hit men (John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson) and an aging boxer (Bruce Willis)
 
looking for one last score, Thurman and her severe black wig entered pop culture history, thanks to her memorable dance with Travolta in a 1950s-style diner. After doing the twist, her fearless character overdoses and in a truly shocking and disturbing scene, Travolta plunges a needle in her chest to shock her back to life. Among the many other accolades and award nominations "Pulp Fiction" received, Thurman earned an Oscar nod a Best Supporting Actress and perhaps even more important - the unabashed admiration and loyalty of director Tarantino, who would later refer to the actress as his creative muse.

While Thurman garnered praise for her turn as a young coquette flirting with Edward Fox in John Irving's "A Month by the Lake" (1995), the film stumbled at the box office. She fared better in Ted Demme's ensemble drama "Beautiful Girls" (1996), playing an outsider visiting a small town.
 
Thurman played against type as a less-than-intellectual blonde helping friend Janeane Garofalo win a handsome beau in the comedy "The Truth About Cats and Dogs" (1996). Shifting gears, she offered a scene-stealing turn as villainess Poison Ivy to George Clooney's Dark Knight in the otherwise abysmal "Batman & Robin" (1997). Thurman returned to a more conventional role as the upright, somewhat frosty and passive worker in a futuristic space program who is romanced by a co-worker (Ethan Hawke) in the futuristic thriller "Gattaca" (1997). Thurman and the intellectual Hawke embarked on an off-screen romance that resulted in marriage the following year while seven months pregnant with their daughter, Maya Ray. Meanwhile, she followed with a highly-praised performance as Fantine in Bille August's remake of "Les Miserables" (1998) before teaming with Ralph Fiennes as Emma Peel to his John Steed in a big screen version of the hit 1960s television show "The Avengers" (1998), which was poorly received by critics and audiences alike.
There was a noticeable slowing down of Thurman's career, as she settled into her new role as wife and mother. She did, however, find time to take roles which appealed to her, appearing to good effect in small parts in non-mainstream projects, including Woody Allen's "The Sweet and the Lowdown" (1999), the Merchant-Ivory production "The Golden Bowl" (2000) and her husband's high-minded art film "Chelsea Walls" (2001). In 2002, she received positive reviews for her role in the cable film "Hysterical Blindness" (HBO) in which she successfully played against type as a desperately insecure working-class girl from New Jersey who, along with her best friend from high school (Juliette Lewis), spends her nights patrolling the local bars for love.
