Stacy Ferguson Photos and Wallpapers

Fergie (born Stacy Ann Ferguson on March 27, 1975) is an American pop, hip hop, and R&B singer, songwriter, and actress. She is a former member of the kids’ television series Kids Incorporated, and the girl group Wild Orchid.

Ferguson was also a co-host of the television show Great Pretenders. She is currently a vocalist for the hip hop/pop group the Black Eyed Peas, of which she is the sole female member, as well as a solo artist, releasing her debut album, The Dutchess, in 2006. The album has so far spawned three U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number one singles and five Top 10 hits, making The Dutchess only the seventh album from a female artist to spawn five Top 5 hits.

As a child actress, Ferguson appeared on the television program Kids Incorporated for several years with Renee Sandstrom, who became a fellow member of Wild Orchid. Ferguson’s well-scrubbed image on that show presents quite a contrast with the “ghetto-funk” image she has more recently begun to cultivate. Ferguson was the voice of Sally Brown in two Charlie Brown specials: It’s Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown (1984), and Snoopy’s Getting Married, Charlie Brown (1985). She also voiced Sally in the 1985 version of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show.
In July 2005, Ferguson had a guest role on the Rocket Power special, Reggie’s Big Beach Break, on Nickelodeon; she voiced a fictitious pop music star named Shaffika. Ferguson returned to acting in 2006, appearing in a minor role in the film Poseidon. She later appeared in 2007’s Grindhouse.

Since September 2004, Ferguson has been dating actor Josh Duhamel, who stars in the television show Las Vegas. She appeared in the series, along with the Black Eyed Peas, in an episode titled “Montecito Lancers”, which originally aired on November 1, 2004. She and Duhamel have recently purchased a house together.
In April 2007, she gave an interview in which she admitted that she went on a sex and drugs spree when she turned 18, saying: “I have had lesbian experiences in the past. I won’t say how many men I’ve had sex with—but I am a very sexual person.” Ferguson was featured on Maxim’s Hot 100 Women of 2006, and voted in at position #36. In 2007, she was voted in at #10.

Recently, Fergie has been claimed to have had plastic surgery. She denied all claims and has said that these claims have driven her to take therapy. She along with other celebrities are now assaulting the credibility of US Weekly Magazine.
Ferguson was a member of the female trio Wild Orchid, which she fronted with Stefanie Ridel and fellow Kids Incorporated star Renee Sandstrom. Wild Orchid released two albums, but after completing a third album, their record label declined to release it, and she left the group shortly thereafter. Her disappointment with Wild Orchid led to an addiction to crystal methamphetamine.

In September 2006, Ferguson talked with Time about quitting her crystal meth addiction. “It was the hardest boyfriend I ever had to break up with,” she says. “It’s the drug that’s addicting. But it’s why you start doing it in the first place that’s interesting. A lot of it was being a child actor; I learned to suppress feelings.”

In 2003, Ferguson took over the lead female vocal duties for the Black Eyed Peas, replacing background singer Kim Hill, who had left the group in 2000. Ferguson recorded five songs with the group before she was invited to join them permanently. Ferguson’s addition to the band, which had enjoyed underground success until then, helped them quickly grow into mainstream popularity.

In 2005, Ferguson inadvertently urinated on stage during a performance at San Diego’s Street Scene festival. Ferguson later commented on the incident: “I had a few drinks before the show, but I didn’t think to go to the bathroom before we went onstage. We were jumping around…and my bladder just started.” On November 18, 2007, Ferguson won the Pop or Rock “Favorite Female Artist” at the American Music Awards.

After two successful Black Eyed Peas albums, Ferguson began pursuing a solo career. Her first album, released on September 19, 2006, was entitled The Dutchess. The album’s name is a misspelled variant of the former title of Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, with whom Ferguson shares a surname and popular nickname. The solo deal does not mean the demise of the Black Eyed Peas, as Ferguson intends to remain with the group, alternating between the two duties. The Dutchess is similar in style to that of the Black Eyed Peas, as fellow Peas member will.i.am is the album’s executive producer.

Ferguson has had five hit songs from The Dutchess, with “London Bridge”, “Glamorous”, and “Big Girls Don’t Cry” becoming number one singles. Her second single, “Fergalicious”, peaked at #2. “London Bridge” reached #2 on the United World Chart, while “Fergalicious” and “Glamorous” both made it to #4. “Big Girls Don’t Cry” became Ferguson’s first worldwide #1 single, and is her most successful single to date. “Clumsy” has been announced as the fifth single from The Dutchess due to the major success of “Big Girls Don’t Cry”, and has been set to be released on September 25 in the US. Ferguson has received her fifth Top 10 solo track from The Dutchess after “Clumsy” earned at #5 position on the Billboard Hot 100, on 22 December 2007.

Ferguson will release her second solo album in January 2008. Her producer, will.i.am, confirmed that the new album is half done. It is expected to be completed in December. Ferguson appeared at Wembley Stadium on 1 July 2007 performing “Glamorous” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry”; the DVD of the concert was released 5 Nov 2007.

Jessica Simpson Wallpapers

Jessica Ann Simpson (born July 10, 1980) is an American pop/country singer and actress who rose to fame in the late 1990s. She has achieved seven Billboard Top 40 hits, and has three gold and two multi-platinum RIAA-certified albums.

Simpson starred with her then-husband Nick Lachey in the MTV reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. She has also begun working as an actress, and is the older sister of Ashlee Simpson, a pop rock singer.

On May 30, 2004, Simpson was chosen to sing the National Anthem at the Indianapolis 500. Later that summer, Simpson won three Teen Choice Awards: Female Fashion Icon, Choice Hottie Female, and Female Reality/Variety TV Star for Newlyweds.

The associated album, In This Skin, debuted at # 10 on The Billboard 200 album chart, with sales of 64,000 in its first week. It rebounded after a special collectors’ edition was released in April 2004 and subsequently reached a peak of # 2. It was eventually certified quadruple platinum. It contained the hits “With You” (# 14, 2004) and a cover of the Berlin song “Take My Breath Away” (# 20, 2004), and a lesser hit, a cover of the Robbie Williams song “Angels”, which charted just outside the Billboard Hot 100.

The couple starred in the television special The Nick and Jessica Variety Hour, which aired in 2004 and was compared to the Sonny and Cher show.

Simpson released ReJoyce: The Christmas Album in late 2004, which peaked at # 14 on the album chart and was later certified gold. In 2005, Newlyweds won a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Reality Show before wrapping shortly after.

In the summer of 2005, at age 25, Simpson made her first appearance in a motion picture as Daisy Duke in the movie remake of The Dukes of Hazzard. The film was #1 at the box office its opening weekend, although it had little or no competition (the only other new film opening that weekend was a low-budget independent film), and grossed $30.7 million on 3,785 screens. It also had an adjusted-dollar rank of #14 all-time for August releases.

The film eventually collected $110.5 million world-wide, although it was much less financially successful outside the U.S. Simpson also appeared on the film’s soundtrack, releasing “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’”, a cover of the 1966 Nancy Sinatra hit.

The song peaked at # 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Song from a Movie in 2006. The song’s video featured Simpson as Daisy Duke. It contains scenes of her flirting and singing in a bar and then later washing her car in a pink string bikini. In some countries the video was banned for its overtly sexual content.

Simpson’s second film, Employee of the Month, was released October 6, 2006. Despite poor reviews, the film took in nearly $12 million in its opening weekend, debuting at #4 just behind “Open Season.” The movie was made on a $12 million budget, and it finished with a little over $28 million in the United States.

Simpson’s third film, Blonde Ambition, is set to be released in 2008. Filming for the movie “The Witness”, a spy comedy, had been scheduled for the same time but has been postponed.

November 2005 brought confirmation of rumors that Simpson and Lachey were breaking up. On June 30, 2006, their divorce was finalized. Simpson hosted the Teen Choice Awards in August 2006, and appeared on The View in September 2006 as the first choice of new co-host Rosie O’Donnell.

Simpson then returned to the recording studio, switching labels from Columbia to Epic Records. Her fourth album, A Public Affair, was released on August 29, 2006 via Epic Records. The album debuted at # 5 on the Billboard 200 with 101,000 copies sold in its first week. The first single, “A Public Affair” (# 14, 2006), reached the Top 20 of the Hot 100 but quickly fell off the charts.

The music video for “A Public Affair” featured Eva Longoria, Christina Applegate, Christina Milian, Maria Menounos, Andy Dick and Ryan Seacrest. A second single, “I Belong To Me,” was also released through her website and is now included on the CD itself. The single’s video appeared on TRL countdowns, but quickly fell off.

In December 2006, while performing a tribute to Dolly Parton at the Kennedy Center Awards, she botched the lyrics, getting flustered in front of a crowd that included prominent persons such as Steven Spielberg, Shania Twain, and President George W. Bush). Afterward, during the final tribute to Parton, Parton’s “biggest fan” Reese Witherspoon and her second cousin Jessica Savelli gave a tearful Simpson a comforting hug. Though Simpson was given the chance to redo the song for cameras, ultimately her portion was edited out of the CBS broadcast.

Luke Wilson co-starred with Simpson in her third film, Blonde Ambition, due out in 2008. Simpson recently said she is due back in front of the cameras filming her next movie role in “The Witness.” She also said she will be publishing a book containing selections from her personal journal and photographs, titled “Look Up To the Sky.” Simpson has also been confirmed to be in studio recording with Eddie Galan and Drew Lane.

Jessica’s father Joe Simpson stated to People Magazine on September 11, 2007 that Jessica is considering doing a country album. Joe told People that Jessica is “talking about doing a country record and going back to her roots, being from Texas.”

Following in the footsteps of other female musicians, such as Cher and Patti LaBelle, Simpson launched a line of hair and beauty products on the Home Shopping Network. Teaming with celebrity stylist Ken Pavés and trained by HSN’s first-ever home shopping host Bob Circosta, Simpson sells clip-in hair extensions over the air.

In 2005, she started advertising Proactiv Solution, an over-the-counter acne medicine. In 2006, she premiered another Pizza Hut commercial for the Super Bowl broadcast. She sang “These Bites Are Made For Poppin’,” in reference to the song “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’,” to advertise the new Cheesy Bites Pizza. In 2007, the Super Bowl featured her third Pizza Hut commercial, which again promoted the Cheesy Bites Pizza. She has also advertised DirecTV in character as Daisy Duke.

Simpson received criticism from a Christian group calling itself “The Resistance”, for the sexualized image she used in the music video for “These Boots are Made for Walking”. In response, Simpson stated, “It didn’t really surprise me because I grew up with a lot of that backlash. That’s why I didn’t end up going into the Christian music industry. I think that if they’re really good Christians the judgment wouldn’t be there.”

Jessica Simpson is the subject of Adam Green’s 2003 single “Jessica”. Which includes the lyrics: “ Jessica Simpson, where has your love gone? It’s not in your music, no. You need a vacation to wake up the cavemen and take them to Mexico Jessica, Jessica Simpson, you’ve got it all wrong.” Simpson attended Richardson, Texas public schools, including Richardson North Junior High and J.J. Pearce High School.

On October 26, 2002, at age 22, Simpson married Nick Lachey and confirmed that she had remained a virgin until her wedding night. Simpson was always vocal since she came into the spotlight that she was saving her virginity until marriage. In November 2005, after months of tabloid speculation, Simpson and Lachey announced they were separating. Simpson filed for divorce on December 16, 2005, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The couple’s divorce was publicized worldwide and was reportedly finalized on June 30.

Simpson reportedly told Jane magazine in October 2006 that she knew her marriage to Lachey was over when he refused to join her on a charity trip to Africa, even though it was on their third wedding anniversary. Questions remain over whether the trip was to celebrate the anniversary, or a PR junket guided by her father/manager, who accompanied her on that day. The couple reportedly sold their Calabasas, California mansion in which Newlyweds was filmed to Malcolm in the Middle star Justin Berfield for $3.75 million.

Simpson received increased publicity following her divorce, reportedly having romances with her Employee of the Month co-star Dane Cook and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine. On February 6, 2007, the Associated Press reported that Simpson said she was stung when her ex-husband jumped back into dating after their high-profile breakup. “Oh, it hurt me,” the 26-year-old singer-actress says in an interview in the March issue of Elle. “Two or three weeks later? Yeah, I’d say it kind of hurt me.” Magazines have also speculated that she was jealous of her ex-husband’s growing stardom and relationship with television personality Vanessa Minnillo, though she has publicly denied this.

Simpson dated John Mayer for over nine months. Dating rumors started in August 2006 with a People magazine article, but kicked into high gear when Simpson and Mayer spent New Year’s holiday together in New York City, both attending Christina Aguilera’s New Years Eve 2006 party. Reports indicated that the two were publicly very affectionate.

In the March 2007 issue of Elle, Simpson said that in her private life she is “begging and pleading for privacy,” but the interviewer did notice emails, videos, and photos of Mayer on Simpson’s laptop. The two were spotted kissing and hugging at a 2007 Grammy Awards after-party, and posed for photos.

Miley Cyrus Wallpapers

Destiny Hope “Miley” Cyrus (born November 23, 1992) is an American actress, singer and songwriter. She is best known for starring as Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel Original Series, Hannah Montana. She became an overnight sensation after she was cast in Hannah Montana.

Following the success of the show, in October 2006, a soundtrack CD was released in which she sang eight songs from the show. In December 2007, she was ranked #17 in the list of Forbes Top twenty earners under 25 with an annual earning of US$3.5 million. As of December 2007, she is working on a movie spin-off of Hannah Montana, titled Hannah Montana: The Movie which is due to be released late 2008 or early 2009.

Cyrus became interested in acting at age nine when the family briefly lived in Toronto, Canada. Her first acting role was as a guest star on her father’s television series Doc, in which she played a girl named Kylie. In 2003, she played “Young Ruthie” in Tim Burton’s Big Fish and was credited as Destiny Cyrus. She was also featured in Rhonda Vincent’s music video for “If Heartaches Have Wings”, and appeared on Colgate Country Showdown with her father, who was hosting the program.

Cyrus was eleven years old when she originally auditioned for Disney for the lead as well as the “best friend” roles; Disney Channel executives then judged her to be “too small”, however Miley was persistent in her desire to be part of the show, so Disney called her back for further auditions when she turned 12.

According to Disney Channel Executive Vice President Gary Marsh, Cyrus was chosen for Hannah Montana because of her energetic and lively performance and was seen as a person who “loves every minute of life”, with the “everyday relatability of Hilary Duff and the stage presence of Shania Twain“.
She spent several years to get rid of her Southern accent, but in the end Disney wanted her to revive it.

Later in an unusual twist, Cyrus had to audition her own father, Billy Ray Cyrus, to see if he would fit the role as Hannah’s dad. Cyrus currently stars in Hannah Montana as the lead character Miley Stewart, whose alter ego is the pop music sensation Hannah Montana.

Cyrus also performs in character as Hannah Montana for albums and concerts.

In 2004, Cyrus became a spokesperson for Daisy Rock Guitars, when she was presented with her first Daisy Rock guitar— the Stardust Series Acoustic Electric Pink Sparkle. It was given to her by her parents from her father’s Country Music Television fan meet-and-greet when she was twelve years old.

On June 22, 2006, a performance of a Hannah Montana concert (featuring Cyrus as Hannah Montana) at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon in Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida was recorded for the Disney Channel. Cyrus spent the rest of 2006 opening for The Cheetah Girls on 20 dates of their 39-city tour. Cyrus also appeared in the Disney Channel Hannah Montana promotion, “Hannah Montana’s Backstage Secrets”, in which she portrays Hannah Montana in a fictional interview set in the show’s canon.

Walt Disney Records released the Hannah Montana soundtrack on October 24, 2006. The soundtrack included eight of the songs that Cyrus performed as Hannah Montana. Cyrus also signed a four-album major record deal with Hollywood Records for her own albums. On December 25, 2006, Cyrus performed as Hannah Montana at the Walt Disney Christmas Parade, singing her version of the holiday classic “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”.

On June 26, 2007, exactly eight months after the release of the first soundtrack, Cyrus released a double album, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus. The first disc served as the second Hannah Montana soundtrack, while the second disc was Cyrus’ debut album as herself. She co-wrote, eight of the ten songs and was credited as “Destiny Hope Cyrus”. Cyrus had a brief cameo in High School Musical 2 credited as “Girl at Pool”, where she danced in front of the pool wearing a yellow baby doll top before the end credits.

While attending the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix premiere, Cyrus stated that they are working on ideas for a Hannah Montana movie. The feature-length film is to be produced by Cyrus’s both on and off-screen dad, Billy Ray Cyrus.

Disney released a Hannah Montana clothing collection in late summer. Cyrus helped to design some of the pieces from the collection. “It’s not a costume. A tween girl isn’t doing dress-up, they want to look like they could be Hannah Montana’s friend. This is a fashion line.”
Walt Disney Records has announced that Cyrus will be performing both as herself and in character as Hannah Montana on a 54-date North American Best of Both Worlds Tour starting October 18, 2007 in St. Louis, Missouri and ending January 9, 2008 in Albany, New York.

The Jonas Brothers will be the opening act. Tour tickets for each date have been selling out in record time after they have gone on sale disappointing large numbers of fans. In Summer 2007, she began appearing as Yatta on The Emperor’s New School as a guest star, but the role soon blossomed into a recurring role. In December 2007, Miley Cyrus was ranked at #17 in the Forbes Top 20 Earners Under 25, with an annual earning of US$3.5 million.

On September 24, 2007 rumors began circulating that Cyrus was pregnant. The cause of the rumor was an image of a page of J-14 Magazine circulating on the Internet entitled “Miley’s Meltdown” and saying among other things “Miley herself confirmed the pregnancy rumors during a J-14 interview”. J-14 immediately responded saying that, “Someone doctored the “This Just In” article that appeared on page 16 of J-14’s July 2007 issue” and that “this story is completely fabricated!” The real story on J-14’s Page 16 magazine was about ‘Miley’s Gross Habits’ told by her co-stars on the set of Hannah Montana.

Cyrus is good friends with fellow Hannah Montana co-stars Emily Osment and Mitchel Musso, often texting and conference calling each other during busy days. Miley Cyrus also taught Emily Osment how to play the guitar and Osment taught Cyrus how to knit. She is also friends with the stars of the highly successful TV movie High School Musical, including Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale, and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody stars including Brenda Song.

Cassie Wallpapers

Cassie (born Cassandra Ventura on August 26, 1986) is an American pop and R&B singer, model, and occasional actress. She is best known for her 2005 single “Me & U”, which became a hit in 2006. Cassie was born in New London, Connecticut to a Filipino father and a mother of Mexican and Afro-West Indian descent.

Her parents raised her in an “artsy” environment, where she dabbled in ballet and tap dance and played the piano and flute. Cassie believes this is why it was easier for them to support her decision to move to New York, after graduating from high school, to model full-time.

While attending The Williams School, a preparatory school on the Connecticut College campus, Ventura began her career as a model at the age of fourteen, appearing in ads for Delia’s, Adidas, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Seventeen. When she completed high school in 2004, she announced that she was going to pursue her career in modeling and music, foregoing college.

In New York, Cassie was modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch Wilhelmina Models, and taking classes at the Broadway Dance Center. Producer Ryan Leslie began spotting her at club parties in late 2004, later saying he was charmed by her personality. Through Cassie’s hard work and dedication, she was introduced to Sean “Diddy” Combs’ make-up artist for one of her modeling assignments.

Shortly after a formal introduction to music producer Ryan Leslie, Cassie became the focus of Next Selection. The two wrote a duet called “Kiss Me”. And after recording, Next Selection made a management move and played the track for Tommy Mottola. Cassie inked a deal with Leslie’s NextSelection label in the early 21st Century. Leslie also co-wrote and produced Ventura’s first single, “Me & U”, in 2005. By March 2006, Cassie had found the interests of Entertainment Specialist Diddy and Bad Boy Records.

On its release, “Me & U” proved to be a massive hit, particularily in the U.S. It reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100, number four on the Billboard Pop 100, and number one on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.Follow-up single “Long Way 2 Go” was far less successful, peaking at ninety-seven on the Billboard Hot 100. The album sold 300,000 copies in the U.S.

Contrary to rumors, Cassie has not been dropped from Bad Boy Records, and will be working with producers Kanye West and Pharrell Williams on her second album. Recently,Cassie has been working on her second album, which is due in February 2008.

Cassie and Lauren London are spokesmodels for the Sean John women’s collection, which Diddy said would be released in July 2007. She made an appearance in the Kanye West music video “Stronger”. She also appeared in the film Step Up 2 the Streets, and recorded a song for its soundtrack called “Is It You”.

Chris Brown Singer New Wallpapers

Pop-oriented R&B vocalist Chris Brown debuted with the Scott Storch-produced “Run It!” and became the first male solo artist to release a single that went straight to the top of the Billboard singles chart.

Only 16 at the time, Brown came from a small town in Virginia called Tappahannock and, like a lot of kids born since the early ’80s, was initially into his parents’ favorites but eventually fell under the spell of hip-hop. Around the time he reached puberty, he discovered his singing voice.

Christopher Maurice Brown is American R&B singer, dancer, and an occasional actor who rose to fame in 2005 with his top-charting Scott Storch-produced debut single “Run It!”, featuring Juelz Santana. At the tender age of 16, the 6′1 Brown became the youngest male to have a #1 hit on the Top 100 Billboard Chart. As of September 16, 2006, the album has sold over 1,600,000 units in the U.S. and three million worldwide.

Christopher Maurice Brown (born May 5, 1989), better known as Chris Brown, is an American pop and R&B singer, dancer, and actor who released his Billboard Hot 100 number-one debut single “Run It!” in 2005, which was produced by Scott Storch and featured Juelz Santana.

His self-titled debut album spawned four successful top ten and top twenty hits in the United States. To date, the album has sold three million copies worldwide and 1,920,665 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Brown left school in late 2004 to begin working on his self-titled debut album, Chris Brown, which was released on November 29, 2005. His debut single “Run It!”, was #1 in the United States, New Zealand, and Australia. Following “Run It!”, “Yo (Excuse Me Miss)” became Brown’s second top 10 hit in the US, peaking at #7, and #13 in the UK. It has been certified platinum by the RIAA. His third single “Gimme That” was released in March 2006 which featured Lil’ Wayne for a remix, originally not featured on the Chris Brown album, but was later included. The single debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at #80 and climbed the charts quickly.

Chris also co-directed his music videos for “Yo (Excuse Me Miss)” and “Gimme That”. His fourth single is the ballad “Say Goodbye”, which is also a part of the Step Up Soundtrack. On June 13, 2006, Brown released a DVD entitled, Chris Brown’s Journey, which shows footage of him traveling in London and Japan, getting ready for his first visit to the Grammys, behind the scenes of his music videos and bloopers. On August 17, 2006, Brown and Ne-Yo co-headlined the 28-city Up Close and Personal Tour.

Shortly after ending his summer tour with Ne-Yo, Brown quickly began production for his second studio album, Exclusive, which was set to be released on August 28, 2007 until it was pushed to November 6, 2007.

According to MTV News, Brown stated: “I am still going to keep it so my younger fans can continue to listen to my music, but I got a couple of joints on there that’s for some of the older people.” The single, “Wall To Wall”, debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #96, and has since risen to #79 and #22 on the Billboard R&B and Hip-Hop Chart being his lowest charting song to date. The song “Kiss Kiss”, featuring and produced by T-Pain, was chosen as the second single. The music video was filmed entirely at Florida International University in Miami, Florida in the Summer of 2007. The song has so far been much more successful than “Wall To Wall”, which has peaked at #1 on the Hot 100, matching Brown’s highest position since his debut single “Run It!.”

Brown has made appearances on UPN’s One on One and The-N’s The Brandon T. Jackson Show on its pilot episode. In addition, Brown landed a small role as a band geek in the fourth season of FOX’s The O.C. in January 2007. Brown then made his film debut in the dance movie Stomp The Yard, alongside Ne-Yo, Meagan Good and Columbus Short in January 2007. Brown next appeared in This Christmas, a family drama starring Regina King, released on November 21, 2007. On July 9, 2007, Brown was featured in an episode of MTV’s My Super Sweet 16 celebrating his 18th birthday in New York.
