Kate plus 8

I used to be an avid fan.....I got inspired by Kate for managing 8 little kids...and I was heart-broken when they announced their divorce..:( Handling 3 little gals..with a set of twins and my eldest are just 1 year apart required a lot of patient, I was literally struggling especially during their first 2 years..I went through series of misbehaving maids..mostly couldn't stand the stress of taking care 3 babies....just to share..I didn't leave my maid alone with my babies..my parents in law live nearby so we sent maid with babies to my parents in law's place..even that maid couldn't stand... On weekends, my cousins came by, luckily I have a few single cousins living in KL who didn't mind to sacrifice their weekends being my assistants at home. I remembered my late aunt.."hujung minggu tu pergi laa rumah along..tolong tengok2 kan kembar tu.." (I'm missing her terribly:() I tried as much possible not to bother my in laws during weekends...for the whole 2 years I was deprived..no time for myself at all except attending to my little ones' demanding needs (they were very much clingy)....no gym, no fun outing..no ME time..no gals day out with friends..no movies night.. and the list goes on...

That's why now when people said to me.."wow u have so much energy and time to do stuffs..playing squash..gym..holdiday alone with hubby bla..blaa.....I would respond to them.."I was once deprived..now I have times...my little darlings are now more independent....I have to appreciate this" Looking back..I wonder how I survived then..but I always believe God will not test you more than what you are capable... So..Kate & Jon plus 8 was one of my inspiration then..I thought to myself..if she can handled 8 little kids..I only have 3..I surely can do better.. Bear in mind..then..Kate n Jon doesnt have many nannies as they have now after they got famous..so back then, the earlier days when the series just started..she was struggling as well "raising a set of twins and a set of sextuplets doesnt bring the best out of us, but we are a family.." I love the way she handled the kids..she's very systematic compared to Duggar's family.."17 and counting" perhaps she used to be a nurse so I found she's very hygienic and organized..plus I find she's quite attractive too...(of course with the make-up n all..tummy tuck etc..etc..)

Peta Brooke Hogan

Reality TV star Brooke Hogan is on the defensive after publicly unveiling a nude photo of herself in front of her dad, brawny wrestling celebrity Hulk Hogan. “I’m SO sick of people saying me and my dad are in some perverted relationship,” the 23-year-old tweeted on Saturday. “Go home and do your own thing! Stop picking on me!” Brooke posed for PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. She is the latest in a long line of celebrities to be pictured provocatively for the organization in its national ad campaign to bring attention to animal cruelty. Hulk, 58, came with his daughter to the photo’s public debut on Thursday at Miami’s Cafeina Lounge. He even hammed it up in front of the portrait, covering her private parts with his hands. (The black-and-white picture by Jordan Michael Zuniga, which shows Brooke crouching in a cage, doesn’t reveal any naughty bits. It’s part of a Zuniga series called “Women in Cages.”) In an interview with the Miami Times, Brooke, who owns a Pomeranian, explained what drew her to PETA. “I’ve always had a love for animals, and I’ve seen abuse firsthand. It ignited my passion for saving them even more. The worst part is that they are voiceless in our world.”

Elizabeth Banks Biography and Photos

Date of Birth: 10 February 1974, Pittsfield, Massachusetts, USA
Birth Name: Elizabeth Maresal Mitchell
Height: 5' 5" (1.65 m)

Mini Biography
Actress Elizabeth Banks was born Elizabeth Mitchell in Pittsfield, a small city in the Berkshires in Western Massachusetts near the New York border, on February 10, 1974. She describes herself as having been seen as a "goody two-shoes" in her youth who was nominated to be the local Harvest Queen. Banks left home to attend college at the University of Pennsylvania, from which she graduated Magna cum Laude, and went on to attend the Advanced Training Program at the prestigious American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, from which she graduated in 1998. She then moved to New York and worked in the theater as well as obtaining her first roles on-screen, small parts in movies and guest-star roles on television series. Seeking more screen work, Banks moved to Los Angeles and the supporting roles soon came, and required that she change her name to avoid confusion with another actress named Elizabeth Mitchell who had already established herself. Her first signal success came in her delightful, brief performance in Spider-Man (2002), for which she is best known despite subsequent leading roles, as "Betty Brant", the secretary of the cantankerous newspaper tycoon. (Banks has reprised the role in the Spider-Man series.)

Banks followed up her performance in Spider-Man with small roles in other movies released that year, Swept Away (2002) and Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can (2002), in which she plays a bank clerk who assists the young Frank Abagnale with vital information about bank checking policies. More recognition came with Seabiscuit (2003), in which Banks charmed audiences playing the wife of Seabiscuit's owner "Charles Howard", and Banks was able to broker these successes into leading roles, in Michael Showalter's The Baxter (2005) and James Gunn's Slither (2006). The winsome, beautiful Banks projects an exceptionally-charming screen presence that has drawn comparisons to Audrey Hepburn. Though her off-screen vocabulary is at times sprinkled with Valley-speak, her performances demonstrate solid acting skill and a keen intelligence. Banks and her boyfriend since college days, Max Handelman, married in 2003.

Queen Latifah Biography

Queen Latifah Biography

Date of Birth: 18 March 1970, Newark, New Jersey, USA
Birth Name: Dana Elaine Owens
Nickname: Hip-Hop's First Lady
Height: 5' 10" (1.78 m)

Mini Biography
Hip-hop's first lady (though some would attribute that to Roxanne Shanté), the woman behind the moniker is Dana Owens, who was born on March 18th, 1970, in East Orange, New Jersey. She came from a police family--both her father and older brother were cops, which would later influence her rhyming style and life philosophy. Owens witnessed both sides of Black urban life in the USA while growing up. After a brief stint as a Burger King employee, she soon found herself making waves in the hip-hop music scene.

After working as the human beat box alongside Ladies Fresh, she was just 18 years old when she originally broke through in the late 1980s with a style that picked selectively from jazz, reggae, and soul traditions, from beats produced by 'D.J. Mark the 45 King'. Her debut single, "Wrath of My Madness," was released in 1988. A year later, her debut long-player, "All Hail the Queen," enjoyed favored reviews: an old, wise head was evident on the top of her young shoulders. The former Burger King employee maintained her early commitment to answer the misogynist armory of some of her male counterparts and, at the same time, imparted musical good times to all genders. Her name means "delicate and sensitive" in Arabic, but she has often been anything but in her rhymes and the messages she sends out through them. One of the most prominent female hip-hop artists on the scene for over a decade, Queen Latifah has also made tremendous inroads in movies, television, and artist management, with her management company, Flavor Unit, alongside her business partner Shakim Compere. A role model who takes the responsibility to heart, Latifah carefully constructed a fine career for herself--one that is constantly moving upward.

Brooke Burke Photos and Biography

Brooke Burke Photos and Biography

Date of Birth: 8 September 1971, Hartford, Connecticut, USA
Birth Name: Brooke Lisa Burke
Height: 5' 7" (1.70 m)

Mini Biography
Brooke Burke is recognized worldwide as the hottest tour guide and adrenaline junkie on E!'s popular travel series, "Wild On..." (1997) seen in 120 countries and in more than 400 million homes. She has graced numerous magazine covers, has top-selling swimsuit calendars and is regularly ranked in men's magazines as one of the sexiest women in the world today. Brooke teamed with CBS and executive producer Mark Burnett ("Survivor") to co-host the hot reality series, "Rock Star: INXS" (2005), with celebrated rock guitarist Dave Navarro (formerly of Jane's Addiction and Red Hot Chili Peppers). The series combined the world of rock music with relationship-style unscripted drama, performance competition and a weekly contestant elimination. The last singer standing (J.D. Fortune) became the lead singer of the internationally renowned band INXS. The following year, Brooke and Navarro once again co-hosted a second installment of the series, "Rock Star: Supernova" (2006), which was comprised of rockers Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted and Gilby Clarke.

Brooke stars in EA Games' hot video game "Need for Speed: Underground 2" where she plays "Rachel Teller", a street-wise adrenaline junkie who runs an elite, underground street racing circuit. For her performance, she received a Spike TV Video Game Award for Best Performance by a Human-Female. She also lends her voice to Atari's "Trivial Pursuit Unhinged" video game as the celebrity host of its "People and Places" category. On the acting front, Brooke has guest-starred on the television series "Las Vegas" (2003), "Less Than Perfect" (2002), "Eve" (2003), "It's All Relative" (2003), "The Bernie Mac Show" (2001), "Monk" (2002), "Rock Me, Baby" (2003) and "That's Life" (2000). She made her stage debut performing a celebrity guest "CenterPIECE" monologue for the Los Angeles premiere of the hit off-Broadway play, "Pieces (Of Ass)". She also appeared in a high profile Burger King commercial, which debuted during Super Bowl XL.

During her three-year stint as host of "Wild On..." (1997), Brooke redefined the term exotic location. She has guided tours from the Australian Outback to the Mayan Riviera, and from the endangered Bamboo forests of Bali to the hyperthyroid nightlife of the world's most exotic party capitals. From grasping the fin of a wild shark in Belize to flying a Russian MIG 17 at negative G's, this is the wild child who has done it all. Born with a thirst to explore, Brooke experienced each country as a culture, not as a tourist destination. Raised in Tucson, Arizona, Brooke developed an affinity for the desert as a child and never envisioned herself as a Hollywood personality or television star. "When I was young, I wanted to do something innocuous, like become a drummer in a rock and roll band", says Brooke, whose French, Irish and Portuguese descent make up her stunningly exotic visage.

Brooke, the entrepreneur, has just launched an online store, BabooshBaby.com, featuring her hero product called "tauts." As a mother of three young girls, Brooke has had the opportunity to try the best of everything "mommy related" and decided to develop a specialty line of must-haves for all expectant mothers. At BabooshBaby.com, Brooke shares her secrets and insights on how she was able to get back into shape quickly and naturally after giving birth. Despite her hectic schedule, Brooke enjoys spending time with her daughters, doing yoga, pilates, the "Core Secrets" ball workout, taking long walks along mountain trails or secluded beaches, preparing gourmet holiday meals for her family and friends, and catching movies and plays.

We can be certain that whatever undertaking is in the future for this remarkable woman, it will be awe-inspiring. "I never intended to make the cross-over from modeling to hosting to acting, but when an incredible opportunity comes along, I'm all for it", she concludes. And the sky's the limit for this gorgeous and talented ingénue for whom film, television and entertainment portals continue to open.
