    Dangerous-Katharine McPhee
  2. Jennka, where are you?
  3. They're both gorgeous, talented, and has a great personality. EVERYONE in the entertainment industry wants people like Cheryl & Blake. Vlada? She doesn't even have the beauty, personality, or presence like those two! Nothing special about her. You have your own interests, and I have my own. I'm not going to sit here and argue about it.
  4. She looks like Isla Fisher.
  5. Do you like the song, "Thanks for the Memories"?
  6. I think Raquel can looks really pretty in some pics, and horrendous in some other pics. I don't know, I guess I'm starting to like her.
  7. Thanks for the pics! I love the Avon pics! Those are gorgeous!
  8. What's so awesome about Vlada? She's looks way too freaky and skinny for me.
  9. Yay!!! A thread for Petey! I love him!
  10. Thanks for the pics, Bailey! Welcome to BZ!
  11. Christopher Adam "Chris" Daughtry (born December 26, 1979) is an American rock guitarist, singer and songwriter who is the lead vocalist of Daughtry, a popular rock band formed by him in 2006. He is perhaps best known as the fourth-place finalist on the highly publicized fifth season of American Idol, eliminated from the competition on May 10, 2006. After his departure from Idol, his band's self-titled debut album sold more than 1 million copies after just 5 weeks of release, becoming the fastest-selling debut rock album in Soundscan history, and so far outselling all of his fellow season 5 contestants' (including 6th place Kellie Pickler, runner-up Katharine McPhee, 3rd place Elliott Yamin and the season winner Taylor Hicks) debut albums. In its ninth week of release, the album reached number 1 on the Billboard charts, edging out the Dreamgirls soundtrack. He is currently the best-selling Idol contestant who was neither the winner nor runner-up of their season. His single "Home" was used as the final send-off for the season 6 contestants. Life Chris Adam Daughtry wasn't born in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. His parents Pete and Sandra Daughtry reside at Lake Monticello in Palmyra Virginia, where Daughtry was raised before he relocated to McLeansville outside of Greensboro, North Carolina. His brother, Kenneth, resides in Victoria, Virginia. In his spare time, he's an artist, specializing in drawing and painting, and he reads comic books avidly. At the age of 16, Daughtry started taking singing seriously as a professional musician and became a performer with other rock bands during his time in high school. It was while in high school that Chris appeared in two stage productions: The Wiz and Peter Pan. He graduated from Fluvanna High School in Palmyra, Virginia in 1998. Daughtry's first job was a service worker at a car dealership at Greensboro's Crown Honda, in Greensboro, North Carolina. He also had a part time job at a walmart. In 2005, Daughtry auditioned for the CBS singing contest, Rock Star: INXS. He did not make the cut for the actual filming of the show. Daughtry was a lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of his own rock bands in Burlington. The CD of Daughtry's ex-band, Absent Element, began to float the internet during the 2006 season of "American Idol." In a segment on the 2006 season of American Idol, Daughtry revealed that he is balding and made the decision to shave his head completely in order to retain an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Daughtry has been married to Deanna since November 2000. He has one step-daughter from his wife's previous marriage, and one adopted son. His daughter, Hannah Price, was born in July 1998, and his son, Griffin Daughtry, was born in January 2001. Absent Element Before Chris Daughtry rose to fame on American Idol, Daughtry was the lead singer for the band Absent Element. Absent Element was Chris Daughtry lead vocals and guitar, Mark Perry on lead guitar, Scott Crawford on drums and Ryan Andrews on bass. Absent Element released a self titled CD in 2005. This CD contains the songs Conviction & Breakdown which Daughtry combined and re-recorded as the song Breakdown which appears on the Daughtry CD. Several live covers are floating around of Absent Element; Heart of Worship by Matt Redman, The Vineyard Music song Breathe, and Agnus Dei by Michael W. Smith as made popular by Third Day. American Idol Daughtry auditioned for American Idol in Denver, Colorado with The Boxtops' "The Letter"; he was portrayed as a young rocker with Southern and hard rock influences. He passed the audition by a split decision: approved by Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson, disapproved by Simon Cowell. Simon felt that Chris at that time was too robotic. On March 1, 2006, Daughtry's "raw" performance of Fuel's "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" received critical acclaim by all three judges. On March 3, 2006, Jackson stated in an interview that Daughtry had been offered the opportunity to become Fuel's new lead singer.On May 11, 2006, the day following his Idol departure, Extra also took up the scoop. At a welcome home party Chris Daughtry said he had declined the offer. Daughtry was in the final four on May 10, 2006, and in a shocker was eliminated from the competition. He was in the bottom two with Katharine McPhee. After Ryan Seacrest announced Chris was going home that night, both Daughtry and McPhee were extremely shocked. Seacrest asked Daughtry if he was surprised. An obviously stunned Daughtry could only utter, "A little, yeah". There has been some controversy regarding the accuracy of the vote count on the night Daughtry was eliminated. The vote-tallying website DialIdol predicted that Daughtry was the lowest vote-getter for the week. In an interview after his elimination, Daughtry said that he thought he got voted off because his fans were "overconfident" that he would be safe, so they did not call and vote. During the Season 5 finale on May 24, 2006 at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, Daughtry performed the song "Mystery" with the band Live. After Daughtry's performance with Live, "Mystery" was as high as #80 on the ITunes top 100 songs. The downloadable song later appeared on Live's MySpace.com profile. Daughtry and fellow Idol contestant Ace Young have been friends since they met at the show's Denver auditions, and even periodically shared an apartment as finalists. Young said they clicked because they shared similar upbringings and were both "big on family." Ryan Seacrest had also dubbed them "the Ben Affleck and Matt Damon of the season" when the two were placed in the "bottom 2" together on Young's elimination. In the final episode of the season, a clip of them in a "Best Male Bonding" segment was also shown. Devoted fan alliances of the friendship between Daughtry and Young, referred to as "Chrisace" or "Chrace," have materialized on the Internet. On American Idol, clips of every one of Daughtry's performances except for his a cappella performance during Hollywood Week were featured on the show. Daughtry sang "The Letter" for his first audition. After being given a Golden Ticket to Hollywood he performed "The First Cut Is the Deepest", and sang "Emotions" during his duo performance with Ace Young. The song for Daughtry's a cappella performance remains unknown. However, during his first performance in the top 24, Randy and Simon made positive comments on his song choice. This was in reference to him choosing a Matchbox Twenty song in a previous round. It has been inferred that Chris sang a Matchbox Twenty song for the a cappella round. Post-Idol After leaving American Idol, Daughtry traveled the talk show circuit, post-season promotion which has become increasingly commonplace for non-winners as American Idol progressed through the years. He made appearances on The Tonight Show, Total Request Live, and The Today Show. He also appeared on Live with Regis and Kelly and The Ellen DeGeneres Show, in which he performed "Wanted Dead or Alive"—his track on the American Idol Season Five: Encores CD. In a later episode of the show in which Ellen interviewed former presidents Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush who were collaborating on the Bush-Clinton Katrina fund, she even jokingly asked if anything could be done about Daughtry's elimination. Daughtry has proved quite successful since Idol. For the week of June 10, 2006, Daughtry's cover of "Wanted Dead or Alive" charted at #43 on the Billboard Hot 100, being named the Hot Shot Debut of the week. On June 7, 2006, a duet version of "Mystery", the song Daughtry performed with Live on the American Idol finale, was released via Live's official website. Daughtry is featured on guest vocals. On June 8, 2006, Daughtry made a cameo appearance on the 2006 MTV Movie Awards, where he performed a parody of Daniel Powter's "Bad Day"—the elimination song for the fifth season of Idol—with comedian Jimmy Fallon. On June 16, 2006 Daughtry made a cameo appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in the "Father's Day Gift Ideas" segment. In this segment he played a father who took out the trash to a talking garbage can. TMZ.com featured a video of Daughtry singing Stone Temple Pilots' "Plush" with a busker on the night of the American Idol finale. On July 10, 2006 it was announced that Daughtry had signed with 19 Entertainment and RCA Records, and began working on an album that was to be released in November. It was also announced that, like season 4 rocker Constantine Maroulis, he would be forming his own band. His band was formed under the name Daughtry, after the singer's last name. Daughtry's debut album was released on November 21, 2006. He reportedly told US Weekly that his album "would not be... pop." The first single off Daughtry, "It's Not Over", was released November 21, 2006. Chris Daughtry reached number one in Billboard Charts with his debut album. He joins Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, and Clay Aiken as the only contestants to reach number one in Billboard 200. WDCG 105.1's Bob and the Showgram interviewed Daughtry and was the first radio station to play tracks from his new album on October 26, 2006. The North Carolina State University Alumni Association and Student Homecoming Committee hosted Daughtry's homecoming solo concert with the new band. The concert was in Raleigh on November 3, 2006 at Reynolds Coliseum, after a Homecoming Parade on Hillsborough Street and a Wolfpack Pep Rally at Reynolds Coliseum. On January 21, 2007, he performed The Star-Spangled Banner at the NFL's NFC Conference Championship game in Chicago, IL. He currently lives in Oak Ridge, NC which is right outside of Greensboro, NC. On January 22, 2007, Daughtry and his band were among the first guests on The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet. On the very first show, he talked about his success on Idol, of how his bands' self-titled debut album went platinum in a few weeks, and he also played acoustic guitar on the #1 song, It's Not Over. Beginning on March 14, 2007, on every episode of American Idol's sixth season's results show, Daughtry's song Home, is played every time a participant is knocked out of the competition, as each of the losing contestants are asked to look at their own journeys. Additionally, on the final competition on May 22, 2007, he and his band performed this song live at the end of the show. Source:Wikipedia

  14. Shia Saide LaBeouf (born June 11, 1986) is an American actor and comedian. After growing up in California, he became known with a starring role in the Disney Channel series Even Stevens. He made the transition to film roles with Holes, a box office success, and has subsequently appeared in several Hollywood films, including The Greatest Game Ever Played. In 2007 & 2008, LaBeouf is scheduled to star in several films, beginning with Disturbia, Transformers, and Indiana Jones 4. Several media publications have written that LaBeouf may become a major film star during the course of 2007. Early life Shia LaBeouf (pronounced [ˈʃajə lə'bʌf], "Shy-uh La-Buff") was born in Los Angeles, California, the only child of Jeffrey LaBeouf, a former mime at a circus and rodeo clown who "drifted" from job to job, and Shayna Saide, a dancer and ballerina turned visual artist; his maternal grandfather was a comedian who worked in the Borscht Belt of the Catskill Mountains.[ LaBeouf has said that he comes from "five generations of performers" and was "acting when I came out of the womb". LaBeouf's father is a Cajun (once described by LaBeouf as a "Ragin' Cajun") and his mother is Jewish, and LaBeouf was raised in the Jewish religion and had a Bar Mitzvah. LaBeouf has described his parents as "hippies", his father as "tough as nails and a different breed of man", and his upbringing as similar to a "hippy lifestyle", stating that his parents were "pretty weird people, but they loved me and I loved them". LaBeouf's father used to grow cannabis, and the two had smoked marijuana together when LaBeouf was ten. LaBeouf has also said that his father was "on drugs" during his childhood, being addicted to heroin and placed in rehab, while his mother was "trying to hold down the fort". His parents eventually divorced and he had what he has said was a "good childhood", growing up poor with his mother (who worked selling fabrics and brooches) in Echo Park, Los Angeles, California, and attending a predominantly Latino and African-American school. LaBeouf would "create things, story lines and fictitious tales" during his childhood, and subsequently practiced stand-up comedy around his neighborhood, as an "escape" from a hostile environment. He began performing stand-up and "talking dirty" at comedy clubs (including the The Ice House in Los Angeles) at the age of ten (describing his appeal as having "disgustingly dirty" material and a "50-year-old mouth on the 10-year-old kid"), and found himself an agent through the Yellow Pages, being taken on after doing his stand-up act for her. Career LaBeouf has said that he initially became an actor because his family was "broke", not because he wanted to pursue an acting career. He became well known among young audiences after playing Louis Stevens in the Disney Channel weekly program Even Stevens, a role for which he was cast three months after being signed by his agent. His father, at the time just released from rehab, served as his on-set parent and the two bonded. LaBeouf was awarded a Daytime Emmy Award for the role and has said that he "grew up on that show" and that his childhood was "kind of lost", although his being cast in the show was the "best thing" that has happened to him. During this time period, LaBeouf also appeared in sketch shows on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In 2003, he appeared in another Disney production, Holes as Stanley "Caveman" Yelnats IV, opposite actors Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight, and Tim Blake Nelson. The film was a box office success. That same year, he was heavily featured on the HBO documentary show "Project Greenlight", which chronicled the making of the independent film "The Battle of Shaker Heights". In 2005, he appeared in the horror film Constantine, opposite Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz. He also had a small role in I, Robot (2004). In 2006, he appeared in the ensemble film drama Bobby, which called for him to do his first nude scene when he strips naked while on an LSD trip. LaBeouf has said that he chose to appear in some of his film roles in order to "curse as much as possible" and "age [himself] publicly" after his Disney roles, specifying that Disney is "great and all" and a "nurturing place" but "dehabilitating for an actor", being "one constant string of same". He has also said that he "enjoyed" being a child actor and "hated" school. LaBeouf's most recent role is in Disturbia, a thriller released on April 13, 2007. In the film, he plays a teenager under house arrest who suspects that his neighbor is a murderer. He received positive reviews for the role, with the Buffalo News stating that LaBeouf "has grown into an appealing, bright young actor who is able to simultaneously pull off [the character's] anger, remorse and intelligence",Kurt Loder of MTV writing that LaBeouf "gets his star ticket decisively punched", and the San Francisco Chronicle noting that LaBeouf is "fast becoming the best young actor in Hollywood". In comparing the film with Rear Window, The New York Daily News described LaBeouf's appeal as "more John Cusack than Jimmy Stewart". Also in 2007, LaBeouf will provide a voice role in the animated film Surf's Up and play a teenager who uncovers a robot invasion of Earth in director Michael Bay's Transformers, scheduled to be released on July 4, 2007. LaBeouf has said that he is a fan of The Transformers television series and the 1986 The Transformers: The Movie, and that Disturbia was the most important film to him of the three, because it is a "character-driven" role. LaBeouf presented an award at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards on March 31, 2007, appeared on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on April 2, 2007, and hosted Saturday Night Live on April 14, 2007. Also in 2007, he was named the "star of tomorrow" by the ShoWest convention of the National Association of Theater Owners. In April 2007, LaBeouf was officially cast to appear in Indiana Jones IV, scheduled to begin filming in June of 2007 for a May 22, 2008 release date. Personal life LaBeouf attended 32nd Street Visual and Performing Arts Magnet in Los Angeles (LAUSD) and Alexander Hamilton High School, although he received most of his education from tutors. He bought his own house at the age of eighteen, remains close to both his parents and lives in Burbank, California with his father. He was accepted into Yale University, but declined, later stating that he is "getting the kind of education you don't get at school", although he would like to attend college. LaBeouf is a smoker, drives a Nissan,has two dogs, and has said that "sports is so big in my life" and that he is a "film junkie".He enjoys the music of The Shins and the hip-hop label Definitive Jux. LaBeouf has cited actors Dustin Hoffman, Jodie Foster, Jon Voight and John Turturro as inspirations, and has said that he is "very serious" about his career and has made "a calculated effort to stay away from the party scene", stating that he believes "if the industry takes you lightly because you're always partying, then they will take your work lightly as well". Interviewer Jamie Portman of The Vancouver Sun described LaBeouf as seeming to have a "love-hate relationship with the teenage culture that has spawned him". LaBeouf has said that although he does not devoutly practice Judaism, he has a "personal relationship with God that happens to work within the confines of Judaism".
