Sophie Monk

Biography

Born in England and raised in Australia, Sophie Monk had dreams of becoming an opera singer before a reality show changed the course of her destiny. That show was the Australian version of Popstars, and when Sophie heard the program was auditioning members for an all-girl band in 1999, she put aside her classical ambitions and hopped in her car. Luckily, the show's judges liked what they saw and Sophie was invited to join the newly christened Bardot.

Thanks to Popstars' immense marketing push, the group's self-titled debut went multi-platinum and was followed by a successful sophomore effort that included catchy hits like "ASAP" and "I Need Somebody." After a couple of years of touring and hundreds of personal appearances, Bardot eventually decided to split in 2002.

Free to pursue her own interests, Sophie headed back into the studio to record her first solo single, "Inside Outside." That was followed by her successful debut solo album, Calendar Girl. According to Sophie, "The album is very much a representation of who I am, and I think that's why it has ended up being such an up-tempo bunch of songs... This is the kind of stuff that's cool for parties!"


Not content with being just a singing sensation, Sophie has recently begun a second career as an actress. In 2004, she played fellow blonde beauty Marilyn Monroe in the TV movie The Mystery of Natalie Wood and makes her big-screen debut in the 2006 films Click and Date Movie. Her role in Click has her understandably excited. "I play David Hasselhoff's secretary and she gets around a bit -- it's quite a role," she says. "I end up in bed with Adam Sandler, It's so surreal it's hysterical. This is the biggest thing I have ever done, there's no comparison."



Other activities
Monk has also appeared in an array of commercials and advertisements including Primus Telecom, Diet Vanilla Coke, LG Mobile and 3 Telecommunications.

Monk was also the face for the launch of the Biofit Bra by Pleasure State, for which she went on a promotional press tour of Australia. Monk recorded an update of Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" for the promotion, and a music-video style commercial to accompany it was played throughout Myer stores in Australia. The cover was produced by Benji Madden, Monk's fiancee at the time, and was released as a promo single in Myer stores.

Monk also a co-presenter with Perez Hilton at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards in Sydney. Monk also hosted the 2007 AFI Awards, but was heavily criticized for not handling the gig well.
Monk appeared in a series of reality television styled commercials for MTV to help promote Snoop Dogg for Australian Citizenship. The humorous commercials, that were shot in Bondi Beach, featured Monk living with Snoop and trying to help him adjust to an Australian way of life. His constant cussing at inappropriate times as well as not holding back on conversations of a sexual nature often put him in an awkward position, particularly in one that features Monk's parents coming to visit for dinner.

In 2007 she appeared on the hit TV show Entourage. She also posed nude for a PETA campaign. The blonde bombshell was photographed naked in a bed of chili peppers with the tagline "Spice Up Your Life - Go Vegetarian" sprawled across her beautiful body. Are you now considering cutting meat out of your diet? If it means winning the affection of Sophie Monk, we'd give up just about anything!

Her 2008 resume includes Sex and Death 101, Spring Breakdown, Pearblossom, and Scary Movie 5.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead

Biography

Mary Elizabeth Winstead was born on November 28, 1984, in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. The youngest of five children, Mary has three sisters and a brother. She describes her mother as her hero.

http://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/article/836/836650/mary-elizabeth-winstead-002_1195524080.jpg

As a girl, Mary Elizabeth Winstead showed a knack for singing and dancing, and trained for a while at the Joffrey Ballet School in New York. She became interested in acting at an early age. After playing Juliet in a fourth-grade production of Romeo and Juliet, Mary Elizabeth Winstead convinced her mother to find her an agent, and by the time Mary hit her teens, she was appearing on TV shows like Touched by an Angel and Promised Land.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead didn't know it at the time, but her early success may well have been hereditary. Screen legend Ava Gardner is her distant relative: "I really didn't find out until I was older," Mary explained, "and then my family were like, 'Oh, by the way, she's your cousin.'"

By the late 1990s, Mary Elizabeth Winstead was getting regular work, which meant taking a different life path than the typical teenager. She relocated to Los Angeles and was home schooled through most of high school, all the while racking up credits in indie films like The Long Road Home (1999) and onstage in the Broadway production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, starring Donny Osmond.

But it was on television that Mary Elizabeth Winstead spent the next few years honing her skills. Mary Elizabeth Winstead played Jessica Bennett on the soap opera Passions from 1999 to 2000; the following year, she became a regular on Wolf Lake. She appeared in the TV movies Then Came Jones (2003) and Monster Island (2004), and guest-starred on Tru Calling in 2004.

In 2005, Mary Elizabeth Winstead played the young Evelyn in The Ring Two, then took on her most notable role to date as Gwen in the teen superhero comedy Sky High.

Even as Mary Elizabeth Winstead's career was taking off, she kept an eye on her education. Since finishing high school, she has taken two years' worth of college courses online. Meanwhile, Mary's profile only grew as she appeared alongside Peter Falk in Checking Out (2006) and starred in the teen horror movie Final Destination 3 (2006).

Mainstream success
Trying her hand at comedy, she went the independent film route as the Jewish daughter of a large, zany family in the indie feature Checking Out, but her screen time fared better in the more mainstream Walt Disney Pictures confection Sky High, which was both financially and critically successful. She starred as Gwen Grayson, the in-disguise alter ego of the supervillain Royal Pain.

After the exposure Sky High provided, 2006 saw her forge a professional relationship with the creative team of James Wong and Glen Morgan, formerly best known for their memorable contributions to The X-Files. She and her co-star, Ryan Merriman, landed in the path of the grim reaper’s master plan in Final Destination 3. She had failed to land a part in the second film in the trilogy, but found her place in the third instalment, which to this day is the most successful of the trilogy. Morgan and Wong wanted to collaborate with her again and convinced her to appear in their sorority slasher Black Christmas. The film, however, failed with critics and viewers. One day, she inadvertently received a chance to lampoon horror scream queens when The Tonight Show host Jay Leno, unaware of who she was, knocked on her front door and included her in a comedy segment spoofing horror movies.

The same year, she appeared in Emilio Estevez's Bobby, a valentine to the politics and morals of Robert F. Kennedy, which drew moderate critical attention, and became a minor box office success. The film's cast included Laurence Fishburne, Anthony Hopkins, Ashton Kutcher, William H. Macy, Demi Moore, and Sharon Stone, but most of her scenes were with Shia LaBeouf and Brian Geraghty. She and her co-stars were nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Cast in a Motion Picture.

Recent & future success
In 2007, she appeared in a pair of high-profile event films. Quentin Tarantino cast her as a well-intentioned but vapid and naïve actress in his high-speed segment of Grindhouse titled Death Proof, his half of a double-billed feature. The film failed to produce ticket sales, but drew critical acclaim. The same summer, hot off the heels of its release, Winstead received another shot at action as Lucy McClane in Live Free or Die Hard alongside Bruce Willis. The film earned over $130 million domestically and drew excellent reviews, making it the highest grossing film that features Mary Elizabeth.

She has recently screen tested for the role of Wonder Woman in the film adaption of Justice League.
She is due to star in Make it Happen, a dance film to be shot in and around Chicago and Winnipeg. It was also announced on May 16, 2008, that Winstead would co-star opposite Michael Cera in forthcoming comic-book adaptation Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Filming is due to start in the fall.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead was cast in Bobby (2006), a film based on the assassination of Robert Kennedy, starring Anthony Hopkins, and written and directed by Emilio Estevez. She also reunited with Final Destination director James Wong in the teen horror genre in Black Christmas (2006), a remake of the 1974 Canadian cult classic.

With such big movies behind her in 2007, it came as no surprise when Mary Elizabeth Winstead was ranked at No. 91 on AskMen.com's list of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2008.

Showing no signs of slowing down in 2008, Mary Elizabeth Winstead signed on to star in the drama Make It Happen.
