Stacy Ann-Marie Keibler (born October 14, 1979) is an American actress of German descent, and former professional wrestler and manager for World Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment.Stacy Keibler is a German American and was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and grew up in a baltimore suburb, Glen Burnie. After high school, she attended Towson University where she studied Mass Communications.Keibler became a cheerleader for the Baltimore Ravens football team, being the youngest of the group. She was a perennial fan favorite, and was active in the team's charity events.Known for her long blonde hair, beautiful smile and flawless legs, Keibler is now one of the WWE's caste of women wrestlers. Better known as "Divas," the group includes the likes of knockouts Torrie Wilson, Trish Stratus, and recent "Diva Search" winner Cristy Hemme. She is also a natural beauty, having not altered her body in any ways through plastic surgery, even though breast enhancement is commonplace with many of the women in her industry.Keibler is one of a group of women who adds a sexual flair to an industry once dominated by male wrestlers. Her job isn't just accompanying the typical male wrestler to the ring as a showpiece. Her role includes getting into the ring and battling it out with other Divas, most bouts are titillating matches that bare lots of skin. But there are also lots of perks to the job, like traveling to exotic locales on photo shoots for WWE publications. Stacy Keibler is an accomplished wrestling star, first lighting it up in the defunct WCW and now causing cardiac arrest in the WWE. Born October 14th, 1979 in Baltimore, Maryland, Stacy Keibler naturally gravitated toward physical activity such as dance from childhood. From the age of three she was involved in ballet, tap and jazz dance, her parents making a commitment to go as far as Stacy's talents would take her. The taste for the spotlight while dancing soon spurred an interest in modeling and acting. With her good looks, it was not hard to land modeling gigs in conservative and not-so-conservative publications as she reached adulthood. So she worked as a model and actress as well as a physical therapist technician and a Baltimore Ravens cheerleader before entering the world of wrestling. Danceing since the age of 3 with a background in ballet,tap and jazz it was easy to see why Stacy became a cheerleader. Stacy was one of the first Baltimore Ravens cheerleaders, working with the organization for 2 years. Plus Stacy was also a full time student, pulling in near-perfect grades in Mass Communications at Towson University. During her days with WCW, Keibler was romantically linked with David Flair, the son of legendary wrestler Ric Flair. After joining WWE, Keibler was in a relationship with Test for several years.In June 2005, Keibler was rumored to be in a relationship with actor Geoff Stults, best known for his appearances on 7th Heaven. The couple were photographed at many places together and seen as an item. The pair also appeared together on MTV's Punk'd, with Keibler as the recipient of the prank. The September 2005 edition of the tabloid, Star, claimed that Keibler was involved in a love triangle with Geoff Stults and actress Jennifer Aniston. It was later announced that Aniston was in a relationship with the man that supposedly got her and Stults together, Vince Vaughn. Keibler denied rumors of a relationship with Stults in two interviews and gave a "no comment" to Todd Grisham when asked about it on Byte This!.On May 16, 2006, Keibler suffered a seizure at the ABC Upfront Presentation in New York City, and was hospitalized. The seizure was said to be minor and Keibler was released from the hospital shortly after.

Tyra was born in Los Angeles on December 4th, 1973, to a very loving and supportive family. Despite the divorce of her parents when she was only six years old, and the torments of her older brother Devin, Tyra's youth was happy and trouble-free.Though it might now be hard to believe, Tyra was a tall, skinny and awkward adolescent. She was constantly teased by her brother and her classmates, and often ran home crying to her mother for comfort. Then, late in high school, everything changed for her. She filled out her skinny frame, began to work out and finally decided to become a model. Tyra pursued that goal with the determination that now marks all of her activities.And after being turned down by four modeling agencies because they thought her face wasn't photogenic, she was finally signed by the Elite agency when she was 17.So, instead of going to Loyola Marymount College, Tyra moved to Paris for a year and modeled for many of the big names in fashion, including Ralph Lauren and Chanel. She then moved back to the States and continued modeling, rocketing her way up through the ranks. Tyra began her modeling career in Europe and evolved into a world-renowned supermodel who has become a pioneer in the industry. She was the first African-American woman to grace the covers of GQ, Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue and the Victoria's Secret catalog.

Keira Knightley

Name :Keira Knightley
Birth Date : March 22, 1983
Birth Place : Teddington, London, England, UK
Height : 5' 7
Profession : Actress
Nationality : British

She was born Kiera Knightley on the 22nd of March, 1985, in Teddington, south-west London. Her name would become Keira as her Hollywood career took off, the change shamelessly breaking the golden rule of "I before E except after C" but making the name more easily pronounceable on a worldwide basis. Her father was stage actor Will Knightley, who'd make the occasional foray into television, such as starring as Mr Glegg in the BBC's 1997 production of The Mill On The Floss. Her Ayrshire-born mother, Sharman MacDonald, had also been a stage and TV actress (she once appeared in Shoestring). Having joined the Drama Society at Edinburgh University in 1972, then worked as a go-go dancer to pay her Drama School fees, she'd battled against stage fright for 12 years. Eventually, pregnant with Keira and having borne son Caleb five years earlier (he'd go on to teach music to underprivileged kids), in 1984 she gave up acting and concentrated on her family.In the summer of 2001, while Keira studied and sat her final school exams (she received six As) she filmed a movie about an Asian girl's (Parminder Nagra) love for football and the prejudices she has to overcome regarding both her culture and her religion.) Bend It Like Beckham (2002) was a smash hit in football-mad Britain but it had to wait until another of Keira's films propelled it to the top end of the US box office. More than the older Ehle in the TV series, she catches Elizabeth's essential skittishness and youthful braggadocio, making her final conversion all the more moving." The film would gross more than $100 million worldwide and Keira would earn a Golden Globe nomination and an Oscar nomination. It was noted that Keira was snubbed by the BAFTAs- a move which drew criticism from Pride and Prejudice producer Tim Bevan. Keira would ultimately lose the Oscar to American actress ReeseShe was born Kiera Knightley on the 22nd of March, 1985, in Teddington, south-west London.

Bend It Like Beckham (2002) was a smash hit in football-mad Britain but it had to wait until another of Keira's films propelled it to the top end of the US box office. Bend It cost just £3.5m to make, and nearly £1m of that came from the British Lottery. It took £11m in the UK and has since gone on to score more than US$76m worldwide. Meanwhile, Keira had started A-levels at Esher College, studying Classics, English Literature and Political History, but continued to take acting roles which she thought would widen her experience as an actress. The story of a drug-addicted waitress and her friendship with the young son of a drug-addict, Pure (2002), occupied Keira from January to March 2002. Also at this time, Keira's first attempt at Shakespeare was filmed. She played Helena in a modern interpretation of a scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream entitled The Seasons Alter (2002). This was commissioned by environmental organisation Futerra, of which Keira's mother is patron. Keira received no fee for this performance, or for another short film, New Year's Eve (2002), by award-winning director Colin Spector.2005 would see the release of 3 films, the first of which was The Jacket. The complex thriller starring Adrien Brody was derided by critics as unoriginal, silly and messy, Witherspoon. Knightley, who currently lives in London, is engaged to her Pride and Prejudice co-star, Rupert Friend. She has previously dated Irish fashion model Jamie Dornan, as well as actor Del Synnott, who, according to some reports, attempted suicide after their relationship ended, although Synnott and Knightley deny these claims.She has denied rumors she is anorexic, although after her appearance at the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest premiere led to media speculation that her extremely slender figure was due to an eating disorder, she noted that her family has a history of anorexia. In July of 2006, Knightley said she has become a workaholic, detailing that "the last five years have blended into one. I can't tell you what was last year and what was the year before" and specifying that she is "working too much" and is "quite frightened that if I continue at this rate I will start to hate what I love." As a result, Knightley may take a one year break from acting to travel and focus on her personal life.Knightley is a lifelong supporter of football team West Ham United F.C., and watches games in her local pub whenever possible. She has said that her favourite book is War and Peace and her favourite film is All About Eve
