Brooke Shields and Lipstick Jungle

Brooke Christa Camille Shields is an American actress and supermodel. From teen icon to sitcom stardom to postpartum depression, Brooke Shields is no stranger to the limelight. Not even a public spat with Tom Cruise got between her and her fans. Now she fares in NBC’s “Lipstick Jungle,” the other “Sex and the City”-inspired series to air this season.

Brooke Shields stars as Wendy in Lipstick Jungle.Through the connections of her manager mother, a former model, Brooke Shields landed her first professional modeling job before her first birthday when she was selected to pose for advertisements for Ivory Snow photographed by Francesco Scavullo. Within two years, the toddler was a pro on the runways as well and was later featured as a Breck girl and in Colgate commercials shot by Richard Avedon.

With her thick eyebrows, sensual pouty lips, lustrous hair and bright eyes, Shields projected the image of a Lolita while off-screen she was a conservative Catholic girl. When Louis Malle tapped her for the title role of a child prostitute in “Pretty Baby” (1978), a drama loosely inspired by the life of photographer E.J. Bellocq, she became embroiled in controversy, partly over the overt sensuality of her role and partly for her somewhat innocent nude scenes (such as a shot of the actress emerging from a bathtub).

Shields’ career as a model began in the late 1960s as an infant, and she continued as a successful child model throughout the 1970s. In early 1980 (at age 14), Shields was the youngest fashion model to ever appear on the cover of the top fashion publication Vogue magazine. Later that same year (at age 15), Shields appeared in controversial print and TV ads for Calvin Klein jeans. The TV ad included her saying the famous tagline, “Do you wanna know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.”

Shields attempted to demonstrate a more wholesome persona co-starring with George Burns in “Just You and Me, Kid” (1979) and featured appearances in numerous TV variety specials headlined by veteran comic Bob Hope. Yet she reverted to teen vamp for the 1980 remake of “The Blue Lagoon” and Franco Zefferelli’s overwrought adaptation of “Endless Love” (1981).

By the time she enrolled at Princeton in 1983, Shields was considered more of a personality than an actress and the few movies she made during her college years (e.g., “Sahara” 1984; “Brenda Starr” filmed in 1986 but released in 1989) merely confirmed that opinion. (It also didn’t help that her beauty and modeling work had landed her on the cover of TIME magazine as “the face of the 80s”.) She was equally famous for a chapter in a 1984 book she penned (“On Your Own”) in which she extolled the virtues of remaining a virgin.

As the 1990s rolled around, Shields worked hard to dispel those images. She effectively portrayed a stalking victim in the 1993 CBS movie “I Can Make You Love Me: The Stalking of Laura Black” and surprised many with her Broadway musical debut as bad girl Betty Rizzo in a revival of “Grease” in 1995. A well-received guest turn as a rabid soap opera fan on a two-part episode of “Friends” awoke many to her capabilities as a light comedienne and Shields soon was fielding offers for sitcoms. She opted to portray a San Franciscan journalist coping as a single woman in the NBC series “Suddenly Susan” (1996-2000). While the sitcom had a promising beginning, it quickly deteriorated into banality becoming the butt of jokes and critical derision.

The actress was unstoppable, though, and during each hiatus squeezed in at least one feature. Shields offered a nice turn as a snooty socialite at first willing to marry Chris O’Donnell until she learns of the terms in “The Bachelor” (1999). She also offered a strong turn as a documentary filmmaker following a group of white urban kids enthralled by hip-hop culture in James Toback’s messy and uneven “Black and White” (also 1999).

In “The Weekend” (filmed in 1998 but released in 2000), she was cast as a daughter who constantly disappoints her critical mother (Gena Rowlands) while the 2001 Lifetime TV movie “What Makes a Family” offered her a juicy role as a lesbian single parent.

Shields was next seen in a pair of miniseries: “Widows” (ABC, 2002) as the low-rent actress Shirley, one of the widows of three men killed while trying to steal a famous painting who join forces to find their husband’s killers and finish off the job of stealing the painting; and “Gone But Not Forgotten” (2004), as a female lawyer who defends a mogul accused of being a serial killer. She also enjoyed a recurring role as the vain Pamela Burkhart, mother of Mila Kunis’ character Jackie on the popular Fox sitcom “That 70s Show” beginning in 2004.

In 2005, Shields released her memoir Down Came the Rain, which chronicled her struggles with post-partum depression, including becoming dependant on anti-depressant Paxil, following the birth of her daughter Rowan in 2003.

The sparked an odd public war of words with her one-time “Endless Love” costar Tom Cruise, who in an interview with “Access Hollywood” denounced Shields’ use of medication–in line with the teachings of the Church of Scientology, he suggested that “vitamins” would have been a sufficient cure–and took a swipe at the state of her career. Shields fired back, calling his comments “dangerous” and suggested that people shouldn’t take advice from someone who devotes his life to a worship of aliens.

The actress also had a string of successful stints on stage, beginning with her off-Broadway debut performance as Suzanne in “The Eden Cinema” in 1986. Later in her career, she wowed skeptical crticis with her replacement stint as Rizzo in the revival of “Grease” in 1995.

Following a 2001 Los Angeles performance in the “Vagina Monologues” Shields was tapped to play Sally Bowls in “Cabaret” with Broadway’s Roundabout Theatre Company that same year.

In 2003 Shields appeared, while pregnant, in the off-Broadway production of “The Exonerated”, a piece based on interviews with death row inmates. She next starred as Ruth Sherwood in the Tony-nominated Broadway revival of “Wonderful Town” at the Martin Beck Theatre in 2004 and made her London stage debut playing Roxie Hart in the West End production of “Chicago” in 2005, then returning to Broadway in the same later that year.

Personal life: Shields was born in New York City into a well-known American society family with links to Italian nobility. She was delivered by the New Jersey obstetrician, Dr. Frederick A. Small. Her father was Francis Alexander Shields, and her mother was Teri Shields (né Maria Theresia Schmonn). Shields adopted her middle name, Camille, for her Confirmation at age 10.

Shields’ parents divorced when she was a child, and her father later married Diana Lippert Auchincloss, the former wife of Thomas Gore Auchincloss (a half-brother of Gore Vidal and a stepsister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis). The actress has three half-sisters: Marina (who married Thomas William Purcell), Olympia, and Christiana Shields. She also has two stepsiblings, Diana Luise Auchincloss and Thomas Gore Auchincloss Jr. She attended an all-girl school, Lenox, and graduated there at the end of high school.

Her paternal grandparents were Francis Xavier Shields, a tennis star of Irish descent, and his second wife, the Italian princess Donna Marina Torlonia di Civitella-Cesi, a half-Italian, half-American socialite who was a sister of Don Alessandro Torlonia, 5th Prince di Civitella-Cesi, the husband of Infanta Beatriz of Spain (an aunt of King Juan Carlos I of Spain). Shields is a second cousin once removed of the actress Glenn Close. Shields’s great-grandmother Mary Elsie Moore (wife of Don Marino Torlonia, 4th Prince di Civitella-Cesi) was Close’s great-aunt, a sister of Close’s maternal grandfather, Charles Arthur Moore.

During the 1980s and 1990s, Shields’ romantic relationships were the subject of many tabloid articles. Among the celebrities she dated were Ted McGinley (her high school prom escort), Dean Cain (her Princeton roommate and the first man with whom she had sex, according to an article published by the Associated Press), John F. Kennedy Jr., Michael Bolton, Prince Albert II of Monaco, and Michael Jackson (his date to the 1984 Grammy Awards).

Shields was married from April 19, 1997, to April 9, 1999, to professional tennis player Andre Agassi; their marriage was annulled. Since April 4, 2001, she has been married to television writer Chris Henchy. They have two daughters: Rowan Francis (b. May 15, 2003) and Grier Hammond (b. April 18, 2006). Coincidentally, Shields’ second child was born on the same day and in the same hospital (Saint John’s Health Center) as the first child of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, Suri.

Honorary Ambassador of Peace for the Harvey Ball Foundation along with Jackie Chan, A. V. T. Shankardass, Jerry Lewis, Prince Albert of Monaco, Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Phil Collins, Jimmy Buffett, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Darrell Waltrip, Heather Mills, Yoko Ono, Patch Adams, Sergei Khrushchev and Winnie Mandela.

Postpartum depression: In the spring of 2005, Shields spoke to magazines (such as the Guideposts shown here) and appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show to publicize her battle with postpartum depression, an experience that included depression, thoughts of suicide, an inability to respond to her baby’s needs, and delayed maternal bonding.

The illness may have been triggered by a traumatic childbirth, the death of her father three weeks earlier, stress from in vitro fertilization, a miscarriage, and a family history of depression, as well as the hormones and life changes brought on by childbirth. Her book, Down Came the Rain, discusses her experience.

In May 2005, Tom Cruise, a Scientologist whose religion frowns upon psychiatry, condemned Shields both personally and professionally, particularly for both using and speaking in favor of the antidepressant drug Paxil. As Cruise said, “Here is a woman, and I care about Brooke Shields because I think she is an incredibly talented woman, you look at [and think], where has her career gone?” Shields responded that Cruise’s statements about anti-depressants were “irresponsible” and “dangerous.” She said he should “stick to fighting aliens”, (a reference to Cruise’s starring role in War of the Worlds as well as some of the more exotic aspects of Scientology doctrine and teachings), “and let mothers decide the best way to treat postpartum depression.”

The actress responded to a further attack by Cruise in an essay War of Words published in The New York Times on July 1, 2005, in which she made an individual case for the medication and said, “In a strange way, it was comforting to me when my obstetrician told me that my feelings of extreme despair and my suicidal thoughts were directly tied to a biochemical shift in my body. Once we admit that postpartum is a serious medical condition, then the treatment becomes more available and socially acceptable. With a doctor’s care, I have since tapered off the medication, but without it, I wouldn’t have become the loving parent I am today.”

On Thursday, August 31, 2006, according to USAToday.com, Cruise privately apologized to Shields for the incident, and Shields accepted, saying it was “heartfelt”. Three months later, she and her husband attended the wedding of Cruise and Katie Holmes in November 2006.

Since writing her book, Shields has guest-starred on shows like FX’s Nip/Tuck and CBS’ Two and a Half Men. In 2007 she made a guest appearance on Disney’s Hannah Montana playing Miley/Hannah’s mother.

Tyson Beckford Make Me a Supermodel

Tyson Beckford attends G-Star Spring 2008 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2008 at The Salon, Bryant Park.Tyson Craig Beckford (born December 19, 1970 in Bronx, New York) is a Jamaican American male supermodel and actor, best known as a Ralph Lauren model. With “Make Me a Supermodel,” Bravo is looking to repeat the success of its other supermodel-hosted reality series, “Project Runway.” Does one-time catwalk star Beckford have the chops to outperform “Runway” host Heidi Klum? If anyone can make it work, it’s Tyson.

Both of Beckford’s parents are Jamaican. His paternal grandmother is ethnically Chinese. Growing up in Rochester, New York, he attended Bay Trail Middle School in the suburbs of Penfield, NY and then Pittsford Mendon High School in the affluent suburb of Pittsford as a participant in the Urban-Suburban Program, a busing program designed to give educational opportunities to urban youth in the city’s surrounding suburban school districts.

Tyson was a member of his high school football and track teams. In 1991, he was recruited to hip hop magazine The Source by a talent scout who had come across him by chance in a New York park. In 1993, Beckford was recruited by Ralph Lauren as the front model for the company’s Polo line of male sportswear. Beckford was named “Man of the Year” in 1995 by the cable television music channel VH1, as well as one of the “50 Most Beautiful People in the World” by People magazine.

Born on Dec. 19, 1970 in The Bronx, NY, model and reality personality Tyson Beckford rose to prominence as a preeminent face for high-end clothier Ralph Lauren and went on to become the first African-American male supermodel. Beckford moved with his family to Jamaica early in life and lived there until he was seven.

Back in upstate New York, he attended top-ranked Pittsford Mendon High School in an affluent suburb of Pittsford, thanks to his participation in a busing program that brought youths from urban areas to suburban schools. In the summer of 1993, he was discovered at random in Washington Square Park in Manhattan by an editor for The Source, a hip-hop magazine that gave Beckford his first modeling gig. Convinced he had found his career path, Beckford landed an agent and began modeling for Ralph Lauren, leading him to appear in print ads, on television and at various fashion events around the world. In 1995, he was named “Man of the Year” by VH1 and one of the “50 Most Beautiful People in the World” by People magazine.

Beckford expanded his modeling horizons, appearing in GQ, Vogue and Essence before making the shift to a film and television career. He made his feature debut with a cameo as himself in the Ben Stiller comedy “Zoolander” (2001), before scoring a more substantial supporting role in the low-budget thriller “Pandora’s Box” (2002). On the television side, he served as a correspondent on the syndicated magazine show “Source All Access TV” (2000-01), then landed guest spots on “Half & Half” (UPN, 2002-06) and “My Wife and Kids” (ABC, 2000-05).

After making an early exit from “I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!” (ABC, 2002-03), a short-lived reality competition pitting a group of celebs against each other in an Australian rain forest, Beckford returned to film with noticeable roles in “Biker Boyz” (2003) and “Into the Blue” (2005). In June 2005, Beckford crashed his Dodge Ram into a utility pole in New Jersey, causing the vehicle to be consumed in flames.

He was treated for head trauma and cuts, then appeared on “Oprah” to discuss his near-fatal experience. Meanwhile, Beckford shared hosting duties with fashion model Niki Taylor on “Make Me a Supermodel” (Bravo, 2007- ), a reality competition with seven men and seven women living together in a Manhattan loft while trying to win a $100,000 modeling agency contract.

In June 2005, Beckford was injured in a car accident near his home. His vehicle caught fire, and Beckford was able to pull himself out before it became fully engulfed in flames. The accident had a profound effect on his spirituality, which he later revealed on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Beckford has been a resident of The New Jersey communities of Edgewater and West New York. He is currently co-hosting the reality series “Make Me a Supermodel” on the television channel Bravo with fellow supermodel Niki Taylor.

Bret Michaels new Photos and Biography

The glam metal wunderkind may have been dumped by Jes, the winner of the first season of his reality love-search, “Rock of Love,” A huge number of ladies are hitting the Web for more of his eye-linered mug. Bret Michael Sychak, also known as Bret Michaels, (born March 15, 1963 in Butler, Pennsylvania) is best known as the lead vocalist of the glam metal band Poison and starred in the reality show Rock of Love with Bret Michaels on VH1.

Bret Michaels Visits Born on Mar. 15, 1963 in Butler, PA, glam rock front man and eventual reality television personality Bret Michaels set his sights on a music career at a young age. After his family relocated from Butler to Mechanicsburg, Michaels performed in a few bands before forming Paris in 1984. The band moved from Harrisburg to Los Angeles, CA, renaming themselves Poison after hearing a group of angry parents protesting that rock music was poisoning their children.

They toured the local club scene, gaining a large following, thanks to raucous live performances fueled by their hard-partying reputation. The heavily made-up band – complete with lipstick and eyeshadow – signed a recording deal with Enigma Records in 1986 and released their debut album Look What the Cat Dragged In, which featured their first hit “Talk Dirty to Me.” The record went on to sell over two million copies. Their next effort, Open Up and Say…Ahh! propelled Michaels and the band into the limelight, thanks to their most recognized hit, the ballad “Every Rose Has its Thorn.” By the end of the 1980s, Poison had become a top-selling band featured heavily in MTV’s video rotation.

Michaels formed the band Paris in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1984. The band, which later became Poison, moved to Los Angeles in 1984 to begin touring the clubs there. The song “Go That Far” appears in the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Bret Michaels also makes an appearance as the lead singer for this song and “Talk Dirty to Me” by Poison in the same game, re-recording the vocals for the in-game cover of the second-mentioned song.

In 2003 Michaels released the solo album Songs Of Life. He also served as a judge during the 2005 season of reality television singing competition Nashville Star, and released a country rock album in the same year called Freedom Of Sound.

Despite the band’s success, the situation behind the scenes began to deteriorate. Michaels and lead guitarist C.C. DeVille came to blows backstage during the 1991 “MTV Video Music Awards” because of the latter’s obviously bad onstage performance, a result of his cocaine and alcohol problems. The band replaced DeVille with two other guitarists of little consequence and soldiered on, though they never duplicated their previous success. While recording their sixth album, Crack A Smile, Michaels suffered multiple injuries – several broken bones and missing teeth – after he crashed his Ferrari into a telephone pole in Burbank in 1994. The near-fatal collision put the album on hold until 1996, and then went on to only sell a million copies worldwide. By then, the band’s decline was in full evidence.

Meanwhile, Michaels ventured into other avenues, notably filmmaking. He joined actor Charlie Sheen to make “A Letter From Death Row” (1998), writing, directing and starring in the low-budget thriller about an innocent man writing about his life on death row. Michaels directed Sheen again in the made-for-TV movie “No Code of Conduct” (USA Network, 1998), a crime thriller about two undercover cops trying to crack a Phoenix drug ring while battling the city’s crooked politicians.

Michaels continued to work with Poison, finally going on tour in 1999 to support the band’s Greatest Hits album, a tour that featured a rejuvenated DeVille. The band enhanced its newfound popularity after taking part in an episode of VH1’s “Behind the Music” (1997-2006), which highlighted their well-known partying lifestyle. After a successful reunion tour, Poison hit the skids again with Hollyweird, a mess of an album that was panned by fans and critics alike. Meanwhile, Michaels made more headlines, thanks to a sex tape with Pamela Anderson that made the Internet and DVD rounds before he successfully stopped continued distribution.

Taking another path, in 2007, Michaels became the latest celebrity to land a reality show, starring in “Rock of Love With Bret Michaels” (VH1, 2007- ), a “Bachelor”-esque style competition for the big-haired crowd, that pitted a group of female suitors against each other in a series of challenges – including an album photo cover shoot and a phone sex competition – that ultimately determined which one could keep up with Michaels’ notorious lifestyle. Michaels picked the eventual winner, Jes, from two finalists, but she obviously felt otherwise and said he had better chemistry with runner-up Heather. The show was renewed for a second season that aired in January 2008.

Michaels and actor Charlie Sheen established a film production company, Sheen/Michaels Entertainment, which produced the movie A Letter From Death Row (1998) which Michaels wrote, directed and starred in, as well as releasing a soundtrack album. They also produced No Code Of Conduct in the same year. Their company also produced the feature film Free Money, starring Marlon Brando and Mira Sorvino.

Michaels appeared in an episode of the CBS sitcom Yes, Dear. The cable-TV network VH1 announced on February 14, 2007 that Michaels would star as the bachelor in the reality television dating-competition series Rock of Love With Bret Michaels.

Jes was the winner of the series; however, she announced during the reunion show that she and Michaels were not right for each other and he should have chosen the runner up, Heather. Michaels is also the star in the second season of Rock of Love, which premiered on January 13, 2008. Bret Michaels also did the motion capture for the Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock lead singer.

Michaels has suffered from Type 1 diabetes since the age of six (as Michaels later attested in the Behind the Music special, backstage photos of the singer injecting insulin led many to think that he was a heroin addict). As a child, his family relocated to Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania near Harrisburg. He attended Mechanicsburg Area Senior High School and was interested in music from an early age.

Michaels was associated with singer Susie Hatton during the early 1990s. He has two daughters with Kristi Lynn Gibson. Raine Elizabeth Sychak was born on May 20, 2000, and Jorja Bleu Sychak was born May 5, 2005. As of 2007, Michaels and Gibson are separated and share custody of their children.

Michaels had a short but notorious relationship with Pamela Anderson. An explicit sex tape the couple made appeared on the Internet and it was released as a DVD on September 7, 2005 by Metro Studios. Michaels later stopped the sexually explicit tape from continued distribution, though it is still widely available on the internet.

Michaels is a Pittsburgh Steelers football fan. He has a personalized guitar bearing the team’s logo, and played the national anthem at Three Rivers Stadium. His favorite player was Jack Lambert, and Michaels has been a member of fan club “Lambert’s Lunatics.” In 2007, Michaels was part of a USO tour through Kuwait and Iraq.
