Rachel Sarah Bilson Beauti Actress





Rachel Sarah Bilson Beauti Actress
Rachel Sarah Bilson (born August 25, 1981) is an American actress. After growing up in a California show business family, she made her television debut in 2003 and subsequently became well-known for playing Summer Roberts on the prime time drama series The O.C. Bilson made her film debut in the 2006 film The Last Kiss and starred in the 2008 action/sci-fi film Jumper. Bilson was born in Los Angeles, the daughter of Janice (née Stango), a sex therapist, and Danny Bilson, a writer/director/producer. Rachel Bilson's father is Jewish and her mother is a Philadelphia-born Italian American. Bilson's father comes from a show business family; her great-grandfather, George Bilson, (born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK) was the head of the trailer department at RKO Pictures, while her Brooklyn-born great-grandmother, Hattie Bilson, was a screenwriter and her grandfather, Bruce Bilson, is a film director. Bilson's parents divorced during her childhood, and in 1997, her father remarried Heather Medway, an actress and the mother of Bilson's half-sisters Hattie and Rosemary.

Bilson has been noted as having a "self-destructive, rebellious period" during her teen years. When she was 16, she and a group of her brother's friends were involved in a car accident, a head-on collision with another car. As a result, Bilson was unconscious for a few days, has a scar above her right eye, and sometimes suffers from migraines and memory loss; she has stated that the experience "changed" her, encouraging her to "stop... getting into trouble" and stopping her from "going down that road". Bilson began dating her The O.C. co-star Adam Brody in 2003. In late 2006, Bilson and Brody ended their relationship.[28] In March 2007, she started dating Canadian actor Hayden Christensen, after meeting on the set of Jumper. The couple got engaged in December 2008, over the holidays.

Bilson has been recognized by several media sources as being a "fashion junkie". She has described herself as having a "vintage" sense of style, and noted Kate Moss and Diane Keaton as inspirations. Her clothes often have a "boho" feel to them. She approached DKNY Jeans in late 2007 with a view to design a clothing line with the popular fashion brand. Together they created Edie Rose. The collection was launched in September 2008. An advertising image was released in July 2008 which featured Bilson modelling her Edie Rose collection. Of her line, she said in an interview with Teen Vogue "I wanted to keep it as separate as possible from Rachel Bilson the actress. I'm hoping people will appreciate it for the clothes, not the person behind them." Much of her fashion collection was lost when her home was burglarized in May, 2009. Bilson has turned down requests to appear seminude in men's magazines, specifying that she feels that her body "is sacred" and "not there for the whole world to see". However, she has been featured in a pictorial in the men's magazines Stuff and GQ

Tricia Janine Helfer (born April 11, 1974) is a Leo Award winning Canadian actress and former model, best known for her role as Number Six in the 2003+ Battlestar Galactica miniseries and television series, as well as her role as "Carla" on Burn Notice. Helfer was born and raised in the rural community of Donalda in Stettler County, Alberta. She was raised on her family's grain farm and at the age of 17, while standing in line at a local movie theatre, she was discovered by modeling agency scout Kelly Streit. She is of German, French, Swedish and Norwegian descent. Tricia is best known for her work as a model in campaigns for Oil of Olay, Chanel's Cristalle perfume and some memorable Victoria's Secret lingerie assignments. As an actress, she portrayed Farrah Fawcett in a 2004 NBC movie of the week, and continues to play sexy cyborg Number 6 on the Sci Fi channel's revamped Battlestar Galactica series. Tricia's modeling career erupted in 1992 when the then 18-year-old won the Ford Supermodel of the World contest. She quickly rose to the top of the fashion game, appearing in major campaigns for Giorgio Armani, Saks Fifth Avenue and Victoria's Secret, to name but a few. She has appeared at shows for designers such as Oscar de la Renta, Claude Montana, Salvatore Ferragamo, Christian Dior, Givenchy, and Pierre Balmain. Helfer has also made the covers of fashion magazines like Elle (1993), Amica Italia (1996) and Cosmopolitan UK (1998). Tricia's rise in the world of acting hasn't been as rapid as her ascent through the ranks of the modeling business was. There have been some bright spots, such as the Battlestar Galactica miniseries, which premiered in 2003 to become the Sci Fi channel's third-most-watched program in their history. Her portrayal of Farrah Fawcett in the 2004 TV movie Behind The Camera: the Unauthorized Story of 'Charlie's Angels' may not have achieved equally impressive ratings, but it gave Tricia the opportunity to recreate the classic '70s Farrah poster, which hung in the bedrooms of thousands of males back in the day.

After signing on with Capitol Music Group in 2007, she took on stage name Katy Perry and released her first mainstream album, One of the Boys.

Perry is known for her unconventional style of dress. Her style is often humorous, bright in color, and reminiscent of different decades, as well as her frequent use of fruit-shaped accessories, mainly watermelon, as part of her outfits.[38] Her dark hair is signature to her look, but, as the music video to "Ur So Gay" shows, her hair is naturally blonde and she dyed her hair and eyebrows a darker color. Having learned dancing at an early age, she fancied about having her own style. Perry's transformation into an artist began with fashion, inspired by American film actress Dominique Swain's portrayal in 1997 film adaptation of the novel Lolita. She defines her fashion "a bit of a concoction of different things". Johnny Wujek, Perry's stylist, described her style, upon meeting her for the first time, as "very colorful and vintage". Her fashion has caught the attention of designers, who were giving her nearly as much attention as her musical fans.

Abigail Rose Clancy Beauty Sexy Model





Abigail Rose Clancy Beauty Sexy Model
Abigail Rose Clancy (born 10 January 1986), also known as Abbey Clancy, is an English lingerie and catwalk model who made headlines during the 2006 FIFA World Cup as the girlfriend of England football (soccer) star Peter Crouch. Born in Liverpool, Clancy was member of girl band Genie Queen, who were managed by 1980s popstar Andy McCluskey from Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD).[1] The highlight of their career was supporting boyband Blue on tour. However, the band didn’t secure a record deal and fell apart.

After football striker Peter Crouch signed for Liverpool, the pair started dating. Clancy became a fully-fledged WAG, and was part of the England team's WAG group during 2006 FIFA World Cup. However, during the tournament, allegations surfaced in several tabloids of cocaine-taking as well as cheating on Crouch with an ex-boyfriend. Clancy was sent home in disgrace half-way through the competition, with Crouch having dumped her via fax, issuing a statement via his lawyer disclaiming any further involvement with her.

In light of this, I wish to make the situation absolutely clear: Abbey and I were in the early stages of a relationship which, for a number of reasons I decided to end, and accordingly informed Abbey of my decision. Clancy briefly dated Jason Statham in 2007, but told the Sun newspaper they were now just friends. Abbey announced via the media that the revelatory drug-taking pictures were taken during her short-lived musical career when she was a teenager.

In the period after the England team exited the World Cup, rumours began to surface that the pair were dating again. Crouch later confirmed this, retracting his legal statement in autumn. The pair are now[when?] an infrequent feature of various media stories, focusing on their relatively quiet and stable relationship. On April 22, 2009, at the FiFi UK Fragrance Awards, Abbey suffered the indignity of her wardrobe malfunctioning: a nipple emerged from the gaping neckline of her dress while she smiled unknowingly in full view of the paparazzi. "We always thought she was a bit flash," remarked The Sun. Abbey's brother Sean is also a footballer, playing for Conference North club, Fleetwood.
