Full Name: Kathryn Ann Sackhoff
Birth date: April 8, 1980 (29yo)
Height: 5′ 6 1/2″ (169cm)
Eye Color: Hazel
Requested by: Jessie and JN

Why is she featured?
A better question would be, why did it take me so long to write about her? One part is because I don’t think anything I write would do her justice, the other part is of course laziness. I think you should be more worried I knew most of the stuff below without looking them up.

Is she a lesbian?
Good question. It’s one that I’m sure alot of enquiring minds would like to know. She appears to be with her boyfriend Scott at the moment, so most likely no.

What’s her story?
If you’re just going by her filmography, it’s really nothing to be excited about. Katee started off doing Lifetime TV movie, Fifteen and Pregnant, then a relatively unknown TV series, The Education of Max Bickford and later moved on to do crappy movies such as Halloween: Resurrection, White Noise 2, and The Last Sentinel (Awful, bloody film from what I’ve heard). So what’s with all the fascination and admiration? All because of one torture soul in the critically acclaimed Battlestar Galactica – Kara “Starbuck” Thrace.

To be honest, I didn’t really like her when I first saw the BSG mini-series, she was too much of a man for me (in later interviews she did admit to base the character on her brother), and at first glance she wasn’t very attractive. However, four episodes and a mesmerizing lip quivering near tears scene later, I was in love. I guess I should thank her injured knee that she decided to quit her Olympic swimming dream and got into acting. After 4 impressive years in BSG, most had hoped David Eick’s (one of BSG’s producers) new show Bionic Woman would be a new home to showcast Sackhoff’s performance. And it did, a little too well I would say. BW’s story was a frakking joke and combined with a weak lead actress, Michelle Ryan, it never stood a chance. If the network ever wish to revive the show though, they should just give the lead to Katee, who all the critics agree was the better Bionic Woman.

Besides her obvious acting chops, Katee’s down to earth personality is what really makes her rise above all other celebrities. Her impulsiveness, potty-mouth, road rage, Harley Davidson motocycle, wine addiction (I kid) just makes you want to fear befriend her. She also has two cute dogs named Meatball and Nelly B (named after Katee’s character in Max Bickford).

What’s her current project?
Still waiting for Lost & Found to be picked up, but currently filming season 8 of 24 as an analyst (boooring! She better be shooting guns and doing field work like Chloe).

Pretty much anything that Katee says in an interview is comedy gold, especially with Cort & Fatboy. I think you should just listen to them all.

On her upbringing: “People are shocked to learn that I grew up in a small town, and I love to be in the dirt. And I love to camp, and I love to fish. I love to gut my own fish”

On her sex scene: “[Jamie Bamber's] wife actually told him not to do his O face, you know, like the oh oh OH face. And I was like, oh my god, what does my O face look like? So I actually practiced in the mirror. What does my O face look like, you never actually see it. It was interesting.”

Full Name: Milla (Militza) Jovovich
Birth date: December 17, 1975 (31yo)
Height: 5′ 8″ 1/2 (174cm)
Eye Color: Blue
Requested by: Me

Why is she featured?
Because she’s awesome. Can’t you tell?

How do you pronounce her name
It’s Mee-luh Yo-vo-vitch.

What’s her story?
I first caught Milla on The Fifth Element, but that was so long ago I didn’t even speak English very well back then. Her slight androgynous beauty and charismatic performance did left an imprint in my memory that when I watched Resident Evil four years later I thought I’d been her fan since forever. Milla began acting at 12, and as a young actress she had been both the “Best Young Actress Starring in a Motion Picture” and “Worst New Star”.

Milla Jovovich was first and foremost, a model, and a very successful one at that. When she was 11, a photographer featured her in a “Most Unforgettable Women in the World” Revlon’s ad. A year later she appeared on her first magazine covershoot, and at 13, she had her first professional model contract. By 2004, Milla was the highest paid supermodel and was made the spokesmodel of L’Oreal. She has since shied away from the model world and focused more on her acting and clothing line with Carmen Hawk (called Jovovich-Hawk).

Though Milla’s acting ability is not Oscar worthy and her choice in films questionable, she is grateful to be able to make money selling her looks than to do so by being in a film she didn’t like. She does seem to have a taste for action movies, namely The Messenger: Joan of Arc, the Resident Evil series, and recently Ultraviolet.

Other than acting, modeling, and creating her own clothing line, Milla Jovovich also likes to sing as a hobbies. Not a lot of people knows that back in 1994, she released a critically acclaimed folk album called “The Divine Comedy”. She was also briefly in a band called “Plastic Has Memory”. She recorded the haunting “Rocket Collecting” for the Underworld soundtrack, sang “Left and Right” at Fashion Rock 2003, and continues to record demos (available from MillaJ.com) in her spare time.

What’s her current project?
Her newest movie, Resident Evil: Extinction will be coming soon in September.

On her modeling career:
“I’m so happy for my looks because I make money off my looks and my family is doing well because of my looks.”

On her different careers (13 years old):
“I try to do everything I can. A friend once asked me, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ I said, “Everything.” She said, “Milla, there’s no way you can do everything.” I said, ‘You just watch me.’”

Full Name: Wentworth Earl Miller III
Birthdate: June 2, 1972 (34yo)
Height: 6′ 1″ (185cm)
Eye Color: Blue/Green
Requested by: Abha

Why is he featured?
A long long time ago, when I used to sit in the SUB with Abha to do our DVD exchange (I burned Prison Break for her as she was banned from downloading and watching TV…yes, I’m that nice. I even wrote a bash script to automate the process, as it takes a few hours to encode an episode to DVD format…yes, I’m a geek) she once mentioned I should do a profile on Wentworth Miller. So long ago that I doubt she even frequents this site any more.

Oh my, what a name, is he British?
Wentworth was born in Oxfordshire, England, but it’s actually not that simple. Apparently, his dad is part African-American, Jamaican, English, German Jewish, Cherokee while his mom is part Russian, French, Dutch, Syrian and Lebanese. So let’s just say he’s American.

What’s his story?
Miller only spent the first year of his life in England and grew up in New York. In high school, he was in the swim team, choir, AV club and earned straight A’s. He graduated from Princeton with a degree in English Lit. In Princeton he also participated in the college’s music group, Tigertones.

For some reason, he decided to go for an acting career after getting a degree and was in quite a few small roles in several TV shows. Since 2005, Wentworth has been starring in the hit Fox TV show Prison Break and became the obsession of fans worldwide. Despite his boyish look (he’s 34?!), he hides a voice deeper and sexier than you’d think. Though I have never seen an episode of Prison Break, I wonder if his acting is the same. Behind that serious look grazing every magazine photoshoot may lie a talented actor who will soon receive an Emmy or Golden Globe Best Actor award. Not to mention his talent of making shaved head looks hot.

What’s his current project?
According to IMDB, it seems he’s only working on Prison Break right now.

On himself:
“I’m kind of a dork. I don’t have much game. I’m not particularly comfortable in bars or clubs. I much prefer being home playing Scrabble, having dinner with a couple friends, going to see a movie, or losing a whole weekend to Season 14 of Law and Order or The Simpsons.”

If he ever end up in prison:
“I wouldn’t last long. I’d get shanked in, like, five minutes.”

On his body:
“I made a decision not to work out because I’m lazy and also, the character is not a superhero. I didn’t want him to be a buff guy with Jackie Chan moves because the point is he’s smarter than your average Joe.”

Full Name: Scarlett Marie Johansson
Birth date: November 22, 1984 (22yo)
Height: 5′ 4″ (163cm)
Eye Color: Green
Requested by: Kimmy

Why is she featured?
Because Kimmy suggested it a long long time ago on the shoutbox a hundred pages back.

That’s not her real full name! Her real name is Scarlett T. Johansson!!!1
Really? And what does the T stands for? No one knows her real name except her…and I’m not her despite what you obviously believe.

What’s her story?

The awkward to elegant and beautiful Scarlett Johansson started her movie debut in 1994 at the tender age of ten. She took quite a few small roles until her first major breakthrough film The Horse Whisperer came around. She was described as a promising young actress. Three years later, she starred as one of the female leads in the critically acclaimed Ghost World along with Thora Birch (American Beauty). Two years after that, she got her second lead in Lost in Transition and was finally being noticed by the public. In 2003, the up and rising star got a chance to act alongside with Colin Firth in the lesser known film Girl with a Pearl Earring. Since then, Scarlett has been steadily offered roles in many movies including, Match Point, thriller The Island, and her two latest dramas, The Black Dahlia and The Prestige.

What’s her current project?
Her new romantic comedy, The Nanny Diaries will come out this April 2007. A historic film The Other Boleyn Girl (co-star Natalie Portman) is also in post-production and will be out late 2007.

On herself:
“I have an obsessive character. I manicure my nails at three in the morning because nobody else can do it the right way. Maybe that’s the secret to my success.”

On relationships:
“I don’t talk about my personal relationships, it always ends up kicking you in the face. But I’ve read a lot of things about myself and think, `Wow! That girl sounds really saucy.’”

“I don’t think human beings are monogamous by nature. It’s difficult – you have to put a lot of effort into a relationship. I think it’s hard for actors to date each other because they are so damn moody. You are away from people constantly and having a relationship that is strictly by phone, it is miserable. Or if you say to him/her, ‘Hey, (even though) I am doing a very sexy scene with this very sexy girl/boy, I love you and I’m going to be thinking of you when I am rolling around in bed with this person!’”

On Match Point:
My breasts are the stars of the film, really. They should each get an Academy Award.

Full Name: Colin Firth
Birth date: September 10th, 1960 (45yo)
Height: 6′ 1.5″ (187cm)
Eye Color: Hazel
Requested by: Yena

Why is he featured?
Because Yena has a BIG crush on Colin…I mean…who doesn’t? Except Kimmy of course, but she is cold-blooded, so that doesn’t count. And I guess after the profile on the 2005 Darcy – Matthew Macfadyen, it’s only right to do a tribute on THE Mr. Darcy himself…

Who’s Mr. Darcy?
He’s the all-time archetype of the haughty romantic hero…so if you really don’t know who he is…you’re missing out. (except you know who)

What’s his story?
Before appearing in the famous BBC production, Colin Firth started out acting in a variety of films and TV shows. Despite his early performances, it was not until Pride and Prejudice that turned Firth into a household name (and also as the ultimate heartthrob). After playing the famous Austen romantic hero, Fitzwilliam Darcy, Firth finally was able to move on to bigger projects like The English Patient, Fever Pitch, and Shakespeare in Love. Though to the North American audience, he was still under the radar.

Then came the British romantic comedy, Bridget Jones’ Diary. In this modernized P&P, Firth once again reprized his role and returned as Mark Darcy, the haughty but sweet (and frickin rich) ex-neighbor to Jones. The film proved that Firth was still one of the world’s most sought-after male actors. After Diary, Colin dabbled in many other less known but quite enjoyable British movies like Love Actually. The year 2004 established one thing though, Firth is destined to play Mr. Darcy. To the North American audience, he made a comeback playing Mark Darcy once again in the BJ’s Diary sequel – The Edge of Reason.

What’s his current project?
It was a slow year for Colin in 2006, but in 2007, IMDB lists a total of NINE movies attached to his name; one of them, The Last Legion will be out this August 2007.

On his kids’ reaction to his fame:
“They’ve seen me in magazines and on buses, but they probably think everyone’s dads are on buses.”

On fan mail:
“There are definitely letters, yeah, but there are no knickers in the post. It’s so terribly well- behaved, unfortunately. A lot of it is still vague, extremely polite and second-hand reporting. I don’t tend to get the actual person themselves.”

On his similarities with Mark Darcy:
“No. I can assure you I’ve never folded a pair of underpants in my life.”
