Kelly Hu
Kelly Ann Hu (born February 13, 1968) is an American actress and former fashion model who held the Miss Teen USA 1985 title. Hu was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, the daughter of Juanita, an engineering drafter for Honolulu, and Herbert Hu, a salesman and exotic bird feeder; the two div0rced during Hu's childhood. She is of English, Chinese, Hawaiian, and Filipino descent. She attended Ma'ema'e Elementary School and Kamehameha Schools in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Hu has held a lifelong interest in singing and dancing and has also been interested in martial arts since her early childhood, when her older brother would arrange for her to fight neighborhood boys. Hu's cousin was a successful model in Japan and Hu decided to follow her example. To gain publicity, Kelly won the Miss Hawaii Teen USA 1985 title and competed in the Miss Teen USA 1985 pageant, becoming the third Miss Teen USA titleholder. Hu has mentioned in interviews that her mother had told her America was not ready for an Asian as such a prominent role model. However, Hu became the first Asian American to win the title. Ironically enough, she discovered after winning that she was prohibited from appearing in non-contest related activities for the year of her reign.
Hu worked in Japan and Italy, the latter in which she became well-known as the star of a series of ads for Philadelphia brand cream cheese (she played a young Japanese college student named Kaori). Hu moved to Los Angeles and began her acting career in 1987 with a guest starring role on the sitcom Growing Pains. Hu followed this with appearances on TV series such as Night Court, Tour of Duty, 21 Jump Street, and Melrose Place and her first movie role in Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. Hu also won the title of Miss Hawaii USA in 1993 and was a finalist at the 1993 Miss USA pageant held in Wichita, Kansas.

Maria Sharapova & Sony Ericsson
Sony Ericsson announced yesterday that it has signed an exclusive four-year deal agreement with tennis ace Maria Sharapova, making her the cell communication company’s first global brand ambassador.
The stunning Russian, 20, will undertake a series of innovative new consumer brand campaigns working with Sony Ericsson’s design team on a range of products and accessories.
“Maria’s iconic status, determination, dynamism, success and charm match strongly with the Sony Ericsson brand, which prides itself on innovative and cool design with substance,” said Dee Dutta, Corporate Vice President and Head of Marketing, Sony Ericsson. “Our alignment with Maria’s global iconic status, combined with our brand expertise and innovative thinking aims to provide something new and something different to our customers around the world.”
“It is really exciting to be working with a cool brand like Sony Ericsson which has such a strong reputation in the entertainment industry,” Maria Sharapova said. “Even though most people know me as a tennis player, I have so many passions beyond the sport like fashion, music, film and design; which Sony Ericsson and I are going to be exploring together through our partnership.”
Sony Ericsson had earlier portrayed tennis players Ana Ivanovic and Daniela Hantuchova in a 2006 TV ad to promote the launch of its K800 and K790 Cyber-Shot camera phones.
The off-court agreement complements Sony Ericsson’s 6 year $88 million global title sponsorship of the WTA Tour which was signed in January 2005 and is the biggest deal in the history of women’s sport.

Jennifer Lopez
Since Xtina is about to pop soon, somebody has to take over the title of "Knocked Up Kumquat" and that someone is JLo. She's looking a perfect shade of tangerine on the cover of Harper's Bazaar. She told the magazine that she doesn't know if she'll be a working mother.
She said, “I don’t know — and I like that, because my life has been so planned for so many years. Once I did the tour, I really just wanted to shut it down.” I think retirement is the best option for JLo. She shouldn't humiliate herself even more. Her album flopped and her movies suck. She should continue with her nasty ass fragrances and designing whatever she designs and stay in the back! Let Skeletor bring home the bacon. Speaking of....here's what she said about her husband, “He made me realize you can be an artist, and have credibility and success, without your life being on public display. This is my experience and my husband’s experience, and we get to hold that for a little while.”
