Real Name: Blake Christina Lively Birthday: August 25, 1987
Biography And Filmography:
At the tender age of 17, Blake Lively stepped into the Hollywood limelight, along with her fellow young teen co-stars America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn, to star in her first major movie role in “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” (2005). Following her standout role in “Sisterhood”, she put school on hold and followed the family tradition of show business, later gaining an even larger celebrity bump by landing the lead role on the smash hit CW television drama, “Gossip Girl” (2007- ).
Born on Aug. 25, 1987, Blake was raised in Tarzana, California in a show business family. Her father, Ernie, was a veteran Hollywood actor and director; her mother, Elaine, a celebrity talent agent. She was the youngest of five children, a herd which included her acting brothers Jason and Eric, and actress sisters Robyn and Lori. When Blake was five years old she lost out on a major role in the Robin Williams family comedy “Mrs. Doubtfire” (1993). By age 11, she had made her big screen acting debut in the movie, “Sandman” (1998) starring Steve Susskind, but the experience discouraged her and Lively considered leaving the movie business.
Lively realized she had no interest in acting and decided not to go into the family business, as there were plenty of brothers and sisters to carry the torch. Instead, she focused on her studies at Burbank High School and became a nationally recognized choir and vocal singer and a popular student at the school, as the class president and a cheerleader.
Even with her love for school, her family convinced her that she had the family gift and would return to show business given the right set of circumstances. A year later, her older brother introduced her to his talent agent, insisting she should try her hand at auditioning again. The agent sent her on an audition for the feature film “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” (2005) based on the popular book series. Even with no formal acting experience, the producers saw a spark in the young actress and gave her the role of Bridget. The movie set out to tell the tale of four best girlfriends who hatch a plan to stay connected with one another as their lives start off in different directions: they pass around a pair of secondhand jeans that fits each of their bodies perfectly.

She next took a role in her father’s horror movie “Simon Says” (2007) starring Crispin Glover, where she worked with her sisters, Lori and Robyn, as the terrorized victims of crazy killer Crispin Glover.
“The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” was released in June 2005 to wonderful reviews and quickly became a box office hit. Blake was then hired and cast as Monica in the college comedy “Accepted” (2006) with Justin Long and Jonah Hill. "Accepted" tells the story of a high school burnout who discovers he's been rejected from every college he's applied to so he creates a fake university in order to fool his overzealous parents.
Lively then accepted a role in the dramatic independent film “Elvis and Anabelle” (2007) starring Joe Mantegna, Mary Steenburgen and Keith Carradine where she portrayed a dead beauty queen resurrected by the kiss of Max Minghella’s morgue worker. In 2008 she starred in the sequel "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" (2008). Her status as Hollywood celebrity and movie star had been cemented.
Wanting to broaden her appeal and experience, the actress auditioned for the role of the anchoring actress on the television pilot for “Gossip Girl” (2007), a young teen drama series for The CW based on the series of Cecily Von Ziegesar books. She was cast in the role of Serena, a savvy girl living inside New York’s privileged and corrupted world of private schools. When the series premiered in the fall of 2007, it became a runaway smash hit.
During her down time from taping "Gossip Girls", she appeared in the romantic drama "New York, I love You" working with an all-star cast that included the young Shia LaBeouf, Natalie Portman, Rachel Bilson, Hayden Christensen, Orlando Bloom, Kevin Bacon and Ethan Hawke. The film is an anthology film joining several love stories set in one of the most loved cities of the world, New York. Twelve writes are asked to create a five minute mini-movie about New York City and the people who live there.
Now a seasoned actress and movie star, she wrapped her year taking the starring role in the dramatic "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee" (2009) starring Lively and Keanu Reeves, where after her much older husband forces a move to a suburban retirement community, Pippa Lee engages in a period of reflection and finds herself heading toward a quiet nervous breakdown.
Real Name: Selena Marie Gomez Birthday: July 22, 1992
Biography And Filmography:
She is being called the next Miley Cyrus and for good reason. Selena Gomez took the world by storm in the starring role of Alex Russo in the smash hit Disney Channel television series “Wizards of Waverly Place” (2007) playing a New York young teen girl with magical powers. While other young teen celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Hilary Duff grabbed new fans with their cloths and luxurious Hollywood lifestyle, Gomez chose tennis shoes and an 1980's hard rock groupie chic look, and she still had young fans hopeful to be just like her.
Selena Marie Gomez was born on July 22, 1992 in New York, but grew up an only child in Grand Prairie Rexas. Her mother, Mandy Teefy, was a stage actress who encouraged her daughter to seek a career in the entertainment business. Her first acting job was “Barney & Friends” in 1992 where she portrayed Gianna, one of the purple dinosaur’s singing and dancing friends. It was during this audition that she met her best friend and co-star Demi Lovato. Lovato herself became a Disney star when she was hired and cast in the starring role alongside the Jonas Brothers in the 2008 television movie “Camp Rock.”.
When Selena was only ten years old, she participated in a Disney nationwide talent search and they fell in love with her immediately. She appeared in an episode of “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” starring Cole Sprouse and Dylan Sprouse , followed by a returning guest role on the Disney network’s hit series “Hannah Montana” (2006- ) starring Cyrus. She played Mikayla, a opposing rock star to Hannah Montana. Portraying enemies on the sitcom, as well as a YouTube video Miley posted in 2008 that seemed to make fun of Gomez and her best friend Lovato, had many fans wondering whether the two celebrities were fighting in real life. The young actress laughed at the prospect, saying “I think Miley’s a wonderful performer. It’s all good.”
Her wonderful guest spots on the Disney Channel were enough for the network to give her a starring role in the television comedy series “Wizards of Waverly Place.” The young teen was side-splitting as middle child Alex Russo in the series. It also gave the actress the chance to grow with the Disney family, and they were more than happy to advertise her as one of the network's biggest and up and coming stars.
In 2008, she lent her voice to the animated character Helga in the star studded movie "Horton Hears A Who" starring Jim Carrey, Steve Carell and Carol Burnett, about Horton the Elephant who struggles to protect a microscopic community from his neighbors who refuse to believe it exists.
The young actress got another big break being hired and cast in the starring role in the musical comedy "Another Cinderella Story" (2008), a sequel to the first Disney Cinderella Story but with a modern twist. The film centers around a young dancer who meets a guy (Drew Seeley) at a ball where she drops her ipod while rushing out.
Gomez has also teamed with her friend Lovato in the television movie “Princess Protection Program” (2009), a family comedy about when a small country is invaded by a dictator and a young Princess is taken into custody by the Princess Protection Program. She is whisked away to rural Wisconsin where she must learn the ins and outs of behaving like a normal American teenager.
Selena also appeared in the Jonas Brothers’ music video for the song “Burnin’ Up” in July 2008 as youngest brother Nick’s onscreen girlfriend.
Keep your eyes on the young celebrity because you have not seen the last of this talented actress. We suspect that when Disney sets out to create the next Miley Cyrus sensation they will stop at little to make it happen.
