As a mega pop star whose music delights people all over the world, Alicia Keys is now being touted as the new Princess of Pop.

Alicia’s songs have always had a fresh feel about them but her ability to give such mesmerizing sound tracks has established Keys as a highly credible artist.

Alicia Keys is known worldwide as an accomplished actress, songwriter, Grammy winner, and performer. She has tasted scintillating success with her latest album “As I Am”. This project may well be her most personal creation to date.

“As I Am” debuted at number 1 at the Billboard 200, and had a record sale of 742,000 copies within its first week of release. This was the largest sales week for a female artist since the debut of Feels Like Home, Norah Jones’s record-breaking album in 2004.

Alicia Keys also holds the distinction of having the maximum number of number 1 debuts on the Billboard charts by a female pop artist since Britney Spears. Her most popular track was “No One,” which peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It won her the Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song at the Grammy Awards in 2008.

As a performer, Alicia portrays the best blend of girlish charm and a grown woman’s maturity. The same effect is seen in her musical creations.

Keys impressed fans and critics alike with her mature look and sensible music, making her one of the best-selling R&B singers in the world. “You’ll Never See Me Again” made her a worldwide hit and established her as one of the best-selling artists of all time.

Many experts claim that if there was a woman who could take on the mantle of being a Pop Princess — a title that was earlier donned by Britney Spears — it should hands down be …. Alicia Keys. Source: TrendPimp.com

Kristin Kreuk wasn’t allowed to wear makeup or date until she was sixteen years old. She says her worst habit is that she is slightly anti-social.

“I really don’t use that much make up now, I’m pretty natural. I wear even less of it in the summer.”

Kristin Kreuk was the first actor cast on “Smallville”. She was second on the audition tape and the only one taken to the studio executives for approval.

In an interview, Kristin Kreuk said that she had no problem with showing skin. “I think Tom Welling is a little embarrassed when it comes to showing skin”.

Spokesperson for Neutrogena products worldwide, in early 2005, she renewed her contract for an additional two years, making her the longest-running spokesperson in the company’s history.

Kristin Kreuk continues, “Someday I’d like to do some real traveling. I’m obsessed with Brazil and I’ve always had this dream of backpacking through South America.”

Daniel Craig, a veteran British actor, has the following film credits – “Elizabeth”, “Sylvia”, “The Jacket”, “Road to Perdition”, “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider”, “Layer Cake” and his first role as James Bond 007 in “Casino Royale.”

In late 2005, it was unveiled that sandy-haired Daniel Craig would replace Pierce Brosnan as the suave spy as the star of the next Bond film.

After the great success of the film and Craig’s acclaimed performance, he now stars again in the next film in the Bond series – Quantum of Solace.

The 2006 movie Casino Royale became the highest-grossing Bond film in history, earning nearly $600 million worldwide.

Daniel Craig really enjoys his new role and says he will play Bond until his “knees go” insisting he has no intention of giving up the part in the near future.

He tells Britain’s Hello! magazine:
“Bond is becoming a long-term job. We will see how this one turns out. If everything goes well, if people still want to see these movies, I will keep doing them for as long as it takes–or until my knees go, whichever happens quicker.”

The now 40-year-old actor, loves to portray the British secret agent and really identifies with the character, especially when Bond 007 gets himself into difficult and dangerous situations.

For Craig, playing Bond seems to be as much an athletic endeavor as an acting challenge. He played rugby as a schoolboy in Liverpool—and talking about that time, he softens.

His mother, an art teacher, and his father, who ran a pub, divorced when he was 4 years old. When I ask if his love of performing stems from those early days in his father’s pub, his blue eyes crinkle with joy.

Daniel Craig feels his working-class background keeps him grounded, but he also must contend with all the Bond fame and attention. Recently, he was named to the tony International Best-Dressed list.

Orlando Bloom skyrocketed to instant fame playing Legolas the elf in the “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy.  Orlando also played major roles in “Pirates of the Caribbean” series, “Troy,” “The Calcium Kid,” and his first lead role in “Kingdom of Heaven.” He also starred in the disappointing box office flop “Elizabethtown” with Kirsten Dunst.

In early 2007, Orlando was voted Britain’s most desirable date, after he topped Cosmopolitan magazine’s “Eligible Eleven” poll.  About all the recent attention, Orlando replied “It’s a bit strange to be included in those sexiest people polls and all that sort of thing. I don’t really even know who I’m up against!”

Bloom says that he really doesn’t mind being considered a “sex symbol”, because some of his personal idols, like James Dean and Marlon Brando, were a few from their time.

When Orlando was asked about his increased focus on living a more Buddhist lifestyle, “I’ve been white knuckling it for so long. Between the first Lord Of The Rings and the last Pirates Of The Caribbean, I’ve been going non-stop. So now I just want some time and space from everything and the phone and the communication.”

When asked about Pirates co-star Keira Knightley, “She’s a great kisser and a lovely, and very funny, person. She’s absolutely gorgeous.”

Although no one had ever heard of this spoiled blond until the O.C.-inspired reality show “Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County” turned Kristin Cavallari into a pseudo celebrity.

When asked the first time she realized she was hot, “Same as any other girl, when we develop boobs and stuff. But I don’t consider myself hot. I still feel like the same big dork I’ve always been.”

“Be yourself, don’t care what other people think, have a lot of confidence. At least make it look like you have a lot of confidence. Pretend if you need to.”

Regarding how bad the paparazzi got, “I’d have twelve cars waiting outside my house. I was 19. The paparazzi got out of hand. My makeup artist always told me that if you’re nice to them, they’ll be nice to you.

On the L.A. nightlife, “It’s the same people, the same thing, every single night. This L.A. lifestyle isn’t really for me. Everyone’s naked. The plastic surgery thing. It gets old. It’s hard to meet a guy here.”

Have you ever wanted to meet your favorite celebrity in person? The Life of Luxury can make your dreams come true and can arrange a unique meet and greet that will be an amazing VIP experience. The possibilities are endless.

Amanda Bynes has indicated that although she admires Hollywood stars like Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan and the Olsen twins — who have crossed over from acting and dabbled in singing and personal clothing lines — she herself wants to be an actress only.

However, in the summer of 2007, Amanda went against that original statement by launching a clothing line of her own, entitled “Dear by Amanda Bynes.”

“It’s stuff you liked when you were young, but with a more flattering fit. Thermals and hoodies with hearts, rainbows and stars. My favorite thing is a little dress with big wooden buttons. I’m dying to wear it!”

Amanda admits, “I’m the girl whose biggest nightmare would be to lose my makeup bag while travelling.”

Supermodel Marisa Miller is a former girlfriend of NASCAR Nextel Cup driver Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Always athletic, it was her love of surfing that gave her a big break into the world of modeling.  In 2001,while scoping out bigger waves in Santa Barbara, she was discovered by Mario Testino, a famous photographer.

As with any job, modeling has both its upsides and its downsides. “The best and worst part is the traveling,” Miller remarks. “It’s the best, because at a young age you get to travel on someone’s dollar. You’re working, so these are paid trips and you’re able to see incredible locations that none of my friends who grew up in Santa Cruz have seen. It’s incredible to have those opportunities and experience different cultures and people. Your life experience is so broad at a young age, so that’s definitely the best part about it.”

Marisa Miller was quoted, “The worst part is also the traveling,” she continues, “because sometimes I have 16 flights before I’m on the plane that takes me home. You’re constantly on the move, and you’re lonely too, because you’re in a different hotel every night.

Whether Marisa Miller is modeling, surfing or spending time with family and friends, Miller’s sweet, humble nature always remains the same. She truly is the All-American girl-next-door – only ten times hotter.

Elizabeth  Hurley has reportedly declared she may leave Britain – because she is fed up with being called “Liz” by the media.

“None of my friends call me Liz. I don’t like it because it suggests a trust that doesn’t exist. Perhaps I will just get clean away – maybe to Switzerland. Also the country would be much better for the little one.”

Elizabeth Hurley adds, “I have three lives: actress, model, producer. Sometimes I’m aware that there’s a fourth life, which is somewhat neglected, which is living a bit.”

Despite a strict, Quaker upbringing, actress Amanda Peet has depicted some wildly offbeat and often risqué characters throughout her career. Amanda was born in New York, NY on January 11, 1972.

Peet’s best-remembered TV role was likely that of Lanette, one of Jerry’s especially demanding girlfriends-of-the-week on a 1997 episode of NBC’s monumentally popular sitcom “Seinfeld”.

Peet has had numerous movie roles over her career, and exhibited a tremendous amount of appeal in an underdeveloped supporting role in the romantic comedy “Something’s Gotta Give” (2003), playing the pert young girlfriend of an aging Lothario (Jack Nicholson) who against his will finds himself attracted to the free spirit’s tightly wound mother (Diane Keaton). She’s also been in Identity, The Whole Nine Yards, Changing Lanes, Melinda and Melinda, Syriana, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, The Ex, and most recently in The X-Files: I Want to Believe.

“I am a relationship person. Some people are comfortable being alone. They don’t panic. They see it as a bit of freedom and a time to be explorative,” says Peet. “Whatever the opposite of that is, I am.” – Peet quoted to People Magazine, April 21, 2005

“I think you have to fall in love a little bit with your costar. Many people have had amazing chemistry who despised each other, but that’s never been my way.” – Peet, quoted in Hollywood Life Magazine, November/December 2005

“One surprise of motherhood for me was how little control I have,” says Peet. “I thought it would be an extended, blissful romance with me at the helm, cuddling this little creature to life. It’s been bittersweet and humbling to let her lead, and to try not to be perfect myself.” – Peet quoted in Cookie Magazine, June/July 2008
