In 1984, Kate Moss was discovered by Sarah Doukas, the founder of Storm model agency, at JFK airport at the age of just 14, as she prepared to board a flight home to London with her father. After a series of shoots for teenage magazines, it was Harper’s Bazaar that finally launched her into the international arena. In 1992, she became the Face of Calvin Klein.

Moss originally spearheaded the controversial ”waif” look which critics claimed encouraged anorexia in impressionable teenagers. The girl from Croydon, who once said she ”might’ve been a bank manager” now divides her time between London and LA, where she is often seen at The Viper Rooms, the controversial club owned by her one-time actor boyfriend Johnny Depp. She has appeared in several notable documentaries about the fashion world and in 1995, released a hard-back book of pictures entitled simply ”Kate”. In London she is still represented by Storm.

Peaches Geldof bio Tuesday, Sep 16 2008 

Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof, is the second daughter of Bob Geldof and the late Paula Yates. She is a socialite and media figure in the UK.

Peaches Geldof

Peaches Geldof

Background
Peaches’ sisters are Fifi (born 1983) and Pixie (born 1990), and she also has a younger half-sister, Tiger (born 1996). Peaches resides in Chelsea with her family. In 2006, she sat AS-level exams in History Of Art, Classical Civilisation, Politics, and English at Queen’s College, London and plans to study English and Journalism at New York University.

Life in the spotlight
Peaches starred in her own reality TV programme, Peaches Geldof: Teenage Mind in 2005, which was followed up with Peaches Geldof: Teen America, which aired on Sky One in the UK on March 1st 2006. Peaches is currently making a documentary on eating disorders for Tonight with Trevor McDonald, and has made a documentary on Islam. She has also penned a number of columns for The Daily Telegraph and ELLEgirl magazine.

In 2006, Peaches was placed at number seven in the Tatler’s list of “Top Ten Fashion Icons” for the year. She was the youngest person on the list.

Some commentators have suggested that Peaches’ well-publicised and (to some) premature progression from childhood to young adulthood did not necessarily set young people a good example. Pete Doherty blamed his poor performance at 2005’s Live 8 concert on Peaches making a “suggestive” comment to him shortly before he went onstage, which the teenager denies.

Peaches and friend Fifi Brown make up a DJ-ing duo known as “Trash Pussies”. Peaches also DJs with Saint Frederick Blood-Royale as part of self-styled ’soundtrack collective’ “The New Testament Party Crew”.

Richard Gere Bio Monday, Sep 15 2008 

Richard Gere

Richard Gere

More coolly charismatic than drop-dead handsome, Richard Gere was one of the most successful sex symbols of the ’80s and early ’90s. Possessing something of an actual talent in addition to his good looks, Gere has proven himself to be a versatile actor since first starring as the pick-up artist who creeps out Diane Keaton in Looking For Mr. Goodbar. Capable of playing everything from romantic leads and action heroes to medieval knights and ruthless villains, Gere has moved beyond his role as cinematic eye candy to become one of the more enduring actors of his generation.

Born in Philadelphia on August 31, 1949, Gere had a strict Methodist upbringing in upstate New York. Following his 1967 high school graduation, he studied philosophy and film at the University of Massachusetts — only to leave school to pursue an acting career two years later. Gere became a professional actor and sometime musician, performing theatrically in Seattle and New York and attempting unsuccessfully to form a rock band. In 1973 the young actor landed in London, where he gained prominence playing Danny Zuko in Grease, a role he would later reprise on Broadway. While in London, Gere gained the privilege of becoming one of the few Americans ever to work with Britain’s Young Vic Theater, with which he appeared in +The Taming of the Shrew.
