Brooke Shields Lovely WallpaperBiography
Brooke Christa Shields was born May 31st, 1965, in New York, NY. The daughter of now divorced Frank and Teri -- a former Revlon executive and model -- it seems that Brooke had modeling written all over her.
As her manager, Brooke's mother wasted no time getting her started in the industry, and at 11 months young, Brooke posed in commercials for Ivory Snow.
Brooke Shields Sexy WallpaperAlthough it didn't take much convincing to see that Brooke had the natural beauty necessary to model, her mother's aggressiveness and persuasive attitude helped launch Brooke's career. She was a popular model by the age of 12, and she would soon have acting on her portfolio.
Brooke on the streets
After her film debut in Alice, Sweet Alice, Brooke was cast as child prostitute Violet in Louis Malle's 1978 film, Pretty Baby. Her questionable nude scene at the age of 13 caused an uproar, and what turned out to be a lot of free publicity for the film, thanks to fundamentalist and anti-pornography organizations.
Brooke's trademark eyebrows were becoming recognized on TV, what with appearances on shows such as The Doctors and The Muppet Show, as well as on the big screen with roles in Tilt and King of the Gypsies. But it was in 1980 that she would star as Emmeline, in her claim to fame film, The Blue Lagoon.
Brooke Shields Hot WallpaperAlthough her hair was allegedly taped to her breasts so that they wouldn't be fully exposed on film, the role involving her in a sexual romp with another castaway on a deserted island propelled her to fame.
Shielded by her calvins
Brooke may have been one of the 12 "Most Promising New Actors of 1978" according to John Willis' Screen World, but the rest of her acting career didn't do much to prove that she was more than a pretty face. Not only is Brooke considered a pretty face, but she was even hailed as Time magazine's "Face of the '80s", thanks to the memorable The Blue Lagoon and her provocative ads for Calvin Klein jeans, proving that nothing could come between her and her Calvins.
But something did come between her and her acting career, when she took a hiatus in the '80s to attend Princeton University and receive her B.A. in French literature, after roles in Endless Love and Sahara.
Brooke did random television stints in features such as Change of Heart and The Diamond Trap; the title role in 1989's Brenda Starr; and a cameo in Speed Zone!. She was on the Hollywood scene but was never a memorable presence, until her role as Joey Tribbiani's stalker in a 1996 Friends star-studded episode.

Brooke Shields Lovely PictureSuddenly sitcom star
In 1996, Brooke was cast as the naïve Susan Keane Browne in the NBC sitcom, Suddenly Susan. During her 4-year gig as suddenly klutzy Susan, Brooke had other things on her plate, such as a role in the documentary, Scratching the Surface, along with Bridget Fonda and Whitney Houston, and parts in the box-office blunders The Weekend, Black and White (co-starring Robert Downey Jr. and Claudia Schiffer), and The Bachelor (co-starring Renee Zellweger and Chris O'Donnell).
Brooke may not have gained much recognition for many of her roles, but she did receive the People's Choice Award for Favorite Female in a New Series, for Suddenly Susan, as well as the more prestigious Theater World Award in 1995, for her turn as rebellious Rizzo in the Broadway rendition of Grease, for which she received critical accolades.
Brooke Shields ImageThe leggy actress has seen a lot of turbulence in her personal life. She dated Liam Neeson, John F. Kennedy Jr. and Dean Cain, was engaged to tennis pro Andre Agassi after a much-publicized relationship (coincidentally, Brooke's grandfather, Francis X. Shields, is a former tennis champ), and is now married to TV writer Chris Henchy since April 2001, after her 2-year failed marriage to Agassi. In January of 2000, Brooke's stalker of 15 years was arrested but pleaded innocent.
Brooke was last seen in several guest appearances on Just Shoot Me, as well as the 2001 film After Sex, and the made-for-TV movies What Makes a Family and Widows.
Brooke Shields Beautyful WallpaperPersonal Quotes
While promoting the film Pretty Baby (1978), 12-year old Brooke was asked, "What does good in bed mean?" Brooke cheekily replied; "When I'm sick and stay home from school watching TV and my mom brings me soup - that's good in bed."
Brooke's joking comment on her TV commercials for jeans: "If my jeans could talk, I'd be ruined." (1980)
I'm not enamored by fame. I don't covet it, the way someone who's anonymous wants it, and then their life changes. This has always been my life. You don't romanticize it when you've seen the underbelly of it, when you've seen rejection, the games, the way self-esteem is challenged and threatened. It's an industry that's predicated on knocking people down. Only the strong survive. (2007)
Hot Brooke Shields Wallpaper"I'm so naive about finances. Once when my mother mentioned an amount and I realized I didn't understand, she had to explain: 'That's like three Mercedes.' Then I understood." (1981)
"I'm always amazed when people assume things about me - that foul language must upset me, or someone's being gay must upset me. They think, 'O-o-oh, she's the most celebrated virgin.' And really, I was surrounded by such an eclectic group of people my whole life." (2000)
Brooke Shields Beautyful Picture"Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life." (1982)
"I've never been naturally fashion conscious. I'm the kind of person who sees a whole outfit in a magazine, runs out and buys it but looks like a clown. I'm not like Gwyneth and all those fashion-savvy girls, although someone told me they all have stylists." (2005)
"Honesty is the quality I value most in a friend. Not bluntness, but honesty with compassion." (2005)
"I've never found therapy to be a sign of weakness; I've found the opposite to be true. The willingness to have a mirror held up to you definitely requires strength." (2005)

Biography
Stacy Ann Ferguson was born on March 27th, 1975, in Hacienda Heights, California. Her parents, Terri and Pat, encouraged Fergie and her younger sister Dana to pursue careers in the entertainment industry, even though they were devout Catholics.
Fergie began her acting career as the voice of Sally on the Saturday morning cartoon The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show in 1983, as well as on two TV specials: It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown (1984) and Snoopy's Getting Married, Charlie Brown (1985).
In 1984, following a spot in a commercial for Rice Krispies, she appeared in the pilot for the long-running musical television show, Kids Incorporated. The show, which also starred Jennifer Love Hewitt and the girl who would become goth pop princess Martika, was a hit with Saturday morning audiences, and Fergie sang backup on it until 1989.

In 1986, Fergie appeared on two TV specials: Kids Incorporated: Chartbusters and Kids Incorporated: Rock In the New Year before leaving the spotlight in 1989 and settled down to live a normal teenager's life.
Music was always her first passion and she teamed up with Stefanie Ridel and fellow Kids Incorporated member Renee Sandstrom to form the band Wild Orchid. In 1999, they had their own Saturday morning show on the FOX Family Channel.
Wild Orchid released its first album, Wild Orchid, in 1997 on RCA and it was followed the next year with Oxygen. The group scored a minor hit when the song "Declaration" was featured in an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210. In 2001, Wild Orchid was ready to launch a third album, but the label declined to release it. Wild Orchid ceased to exist and it triggered an emotional crisis for Fergie, which led to a crystal meth addiction.

Stacy Fergie Personal Quotes
I started doing Ecstasy. Then I got addicted to crystal methamphetamine. My weight dropped to 90 lb. I lied to my friends and said I was bulimic. Finally I started going crazy. In that moment I talked to God and He said, "I've given you all these gifts, so what are you doing?" I decided to get clean. I told everybody what was wrong.
