They’re heartthrobs and genuinely talented artists, they’re sexy young guys living their dream. They’ve emerged on the world scene of music and made everyone fall in love with them, their songs and their positive attitude to life. They’ve gone through highs and lows but managed to save what’s really important – they’re brothers, and it’s more than just blood ties. For them, it has always been about the music.

The Jonas Brothers is a boy trio consisting of three brothers, Kevin Jonas, 21, Joe Jonas, 19, and Nick Jonas, 16, who’ve become a music world sensation and pop culture phenomenon just within a year and a half. Already now they’re cited as one of the most popular teen groups of the 2000s and compared to McFly, Hanson, and the Modern Lovers, all famous for catchy anthems. They state they’re not like the rest, and millions of fans are ready to prove that’s true with largest concert venues sold out and top iTunes rates for JB singles.

“They’ve got fizzy harmonies, punchy power chords and sugary choruses that bounce off the walls.”

Mary-Kate Olsen is a Daytime Emmy Award-nominated American actress, producer, fashion model and fashion designer. She has had a successful acting career beginning at a very young age, in roles with her twin sister Ashley Olsen.

Since 2006, she has appeared in movie roles independently of her twin sister.

Mini Biography

She and her twin sister, Ashley Olsen, were born June 13, 1986 in Sherman Oaks, California to David and Jarnette Olsen. The twins began their acting career in 1987 when they were chosen to play the role of Michelle Tanner on a new television series, “Full House” (1987).

The show became a hit with books, dolls, and other merchandise being sold to promote it, and during the years the show was on the air, the Olsen twins had a TVQ (popularity rating) second only to Bill Cosby. The twins continued to share the role through the show’s end in 1995.

During the years of “Full House” (1987) they teamed up with Robert Thorne and created Dualstar, their production Company.

Soon they had recorded an album titled Brother For Sale and a music video called Our First Video (1993) (V). In the years that followed they starred in three straight to video movies, To Grandmother’s House We Go (1992) (TV), Double, Double, Toil and Trouble (1993) (TV), and How the West Was Fun (1994) (TV).

They also created their own video series called The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley, in which they were pint size detectives who would “solve any crime by dinner time.”

They also have another successful video series, You’re Invited to Mary-Kate and Ashley’s and both video series continue to be popular today. In 1995 they made their big screen debut in It Takes Two (1995) and in the next few years they continued to make videos in their series.

In 1998 they returned to television in the short-lived series, “Two of a Kind” (1998). They made a few more tv movies, appeared on many talk shows, and began to work on a new tv series titled “So Little Time” (2001).

They currently live in California with their mom, older brother Trent and younger sister Lizzie. They visit their dad, stepmom, Mackenzie and step siblings, Taylor and Jake.

Mary-Kate Olsen: Five Fun Facts

1. In 2007, PETA dubbed Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen “The Trollsen Twins” because they ignored the activist group’s pleas to stop wearing fur. PETA also unveiled a campaign against them at their Walk of Fame star in L.A.

2. One of Mary-Kate Olsen’s favorite movies is the S&M romance Secretary, starring Maggie Gyllenhaal. She told W that she’s seen it “at least, like, a hundred times.”

3. When Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen wore bandannas in one of their direct-to-video movies, it sparked a run on bandannas in the United States. This gave them the idea to start a line of clothes.

4. Mary-Kate Olsen, who downs two to four Starbucks drinks a day, has been drinking coffee for much of her life. “I remember at 10 sneaking my own coffee and pouring a ton of sugar in and going up to the playroom and drinking it,” Olsen told W magazine in January 2006.

5. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are not identical twins. Mary-Kate is an inch taller than Ashley. Ashley has a freckle above her lip and Mary-Kate does not. Mary-Kate’s a lefty; Ashley is right-handed. They can’t “talk to each other through [their] brains,” Ashley tells Entertainment Weekly.

Robert Pattinson – Robert Thomas-Pattinson (born May 13, 1986)is an English actor, model and musician.

He is best known for playing Edward Cullen in the film adaptation of Twilight, based on the novel by Stephenie Meyer, and for the role of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Early life

Pattinson was born in London, England. His mother, Clare, worked for a modeling agency, and his father, Richard, imported vintage cars from the U.S.

Pattinson attended Tower House School and Harrodian School.

He became involved in amateur theatre through the Barnes Theatre Company. After some backstage experience there, he took on acting roles.

He caught the attention of an acting agent in a production of Tess of the D’Urbervilles and began looking for professional roles.

Since then he has performed in an amateur version of Macbeth at the Old Sorting Office Arts Centre, as well as trying his hand at modeling.

Modeling

He began his modeling career when he was twelve years old, but it wound down only four years later. He has blamed his lack of work as a model on his masculine appearance. Pattinson explained in December of 2008,

When I first started I was quite tall and looked like a girl, so I got lots of jobs, because it was during that period where the androgynous look was cool. Then, I guess, I became too much of a guy, so I never got any more jobs. I had the most unsuccessful modeling career.”

Pattinson appeared in the advertising campaign for Hackett’s Autumn 2007 collection.

Acting career

He had supporting roles in the made for television film Ring of the Nibelungs in 2004 and in director Mira Nair’s Vanity Fair, although his scenes in the latter were deleted, and only appear on the DVD version.

In May 2005 he was slated to appear in the UK premiere of The Woman Before at the Royal Court Theatre, but was fired shortly before the opening night and was replaced by Tom Riley.

Later that year he played Cedric Diggory in the film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Consequently, he was named that year’s British Star of Tomorrow by Times Online.

He also has more than once been touted as the next Jude Law.

Pattinson plays Edward Cullen in the movie Twilight, based on Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling novel of the same name, which was released on November 21, 2008 in North America.

According to TV Guide, Pattinson was initially apprehensive about auditioning for the role of Edward Cullen, fearful that he wouldn’t be able to live up to the “perfection” expected from the character.

He is set to reprise his role as Edward Cullen in the Twilight sequel, New Moon, with filming slated to begin in March 2009.

He has lead roles in the forthcoming feature films Little Ashes (in which he plays Salvador Dalí), How To Be (a British comedy) and the short film The Summer House.

In 2010 he will appear in a theatre production for producer David Pugh.

He appeared and presented at the 81st Academy Awards on February 22, 2009.

Musical career

Pattinson plays guitar and piano, and composes his own music. He also appears as the singer of two songs on the Twilight soundtrack: “Never Think”, which he co-wrote with Sam Bradley, and “Let Me Sign“, which was written by Marcus Foster and Bobby Long.

The songs were included in the film after director Catherine Hardwicke added Pattinson’s recordings into an early cut without his knowledge, and he agreed that “one of them specifically, it really made the scene better. It was like it was supposed to be there.” Us Magazine reported that the soundtrack for the upcoming film “How to Be” features three original songs performed by Pattinson and written by composer Joe Hastings

Aside from recording for the soundtrack, Pattinson has said,

“I’ve never really recorded anything – I just played in pubs and stuff”,

and when asked about a professional music career, he said,

Music is my back-up plan if acting fails.” In 2008, he also performed with his first girlfriend’s current boyfriend’s band, called “Bad Girls”.

Friends star Jennifer Aniston shows her splendid body, wearing only a tie, on the cover of the January 2009 issue of GQ.

Aniston  tells GQ editor Mark Kirby what she thinks about people who are still interested in the story of her and Brad Pitt’s parting four years after they publicly confirmed they were no longer together. Aniston jokingly says,

“The funny thing is that people don’t realize we all go away to the Hamptons on the weekends.” She adds, “No. But can you imagine? That’d be hysterical: I’ve got Zahara on my hip, and Knox…”

Let the gossips about Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer be put to rest – by Aniston herself.

I am not having his baby. And I have not popped the question,

Aniston’s now working on a movie Pumas, which she calls “sort of a female Wedding Crashers” about two “aspiring cougars.”

It is so a comment on the sexual double standard, and what’s been ironic is how hard it’s been to get this movie made,” she says. “Studios want it, but they are afraid of Middle America. They’d want to change it; they’re saying, ‘Oh, you can’t do that, people just can’t imagine you…”

It’s part of what she sees as a exciting rouble in Hollywood.

Look, I think all women on some level just want to rage against the machine,” she says. “There are too many movies out there that don’t empower women, movies in which their only way of being happy is finding a man. And you know, that’s not my favorite theme.”

The publication with interview and pictures will be put on official GQ site next Monday, December 15 and will hit the newsstands on December 23.
