Blake Lively

At the age of 17, Blake Lively stepped into a shared pair of big screen blue jeans and, along with her fellow co-stars America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn, became a rising star with the teen set after starring in her first major role, “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” (2005). Perhaps it was fate that the blonde California-bred actress, who was born in the morning and napping on a film set later that day, would one day end up in front of the camera. Following her breakout role in “Sisterhood” (2005), she put an academic path aside and finally succumbed to a family tradition, later achieving an even greater level of fame by landing the lead role on the hit CW drama, “Gossip Girl” (2007- ).

Born on Aug. 25, 1987, Lively was raised in Tarzana, CA in a close-knit show business family. Her father, Ernie, was a veteran Hollywood actor and director; her mother, Elaine, a talent agent. Lively was the youngest of five siblings, a group which included her actor brothers Jason and Eric and actress sisters Robyn and Lori. At five years of age, she lost out on a major role in the Robin Williams comedy “Mrs. Doubtfire” (1993), but was one of two finalists. Her parents attempted to alleviate any possible nervousness by telling the young Lively that she would be acting opposite Williams’ twin brother in her audition.

At age 10, Lively had made her acting debut in a film entitled, “Sandman” (1998), but the experience did not leave her wanting more work. Lively had little interest in acting and no plans to go into the family business, as there were plenty of siblings to carry on that mantle. Instead she focused on her studies. As a student at Burbank High School, she became a nationally recognized choir singer and a popular figure at school, as both her class president and a cheerleader. Despite her academic leanings, Lively’s siblings were convinced their sister had the family gift and would take to it if given the right opportunity

In 2003, older brother Eric took her on a two-month jaunt across Europe, hoping to help her determine her future. A year later, he then took the liberty of introducing her to his agent, insisting she should be sent out to read for parts. One day, their agent set her up on an audition for a feature adaptation of the coming-of-age novel “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” (2005). Lively loved the material, but did not have an acting resume.

Her audition consisted of the presentation of her headshot and an exit, but the producers and director Ken Kwapis saw what they were looking for in her nonetheless. Just before the end of her junior year of high school in 2004, Lively was off to Mexico to film her scenes for “Sisterhood…” playing one of four friends who split up during one summer of discovery and pass around a lucky pair of jeans. As Bridget, the group member who pursues soccer and love while spending her summer at a soccer camp, Lively spent two months beforehand prepping her soccer. In an uncomplicated bit of casting, her dad took the part of her onscreen father. The role earned Lively a Breakthrough Performance nomination at the 2005 Teen Choice Awards.

By the time Lively’s senior year rolled around, she had been bitten enough by the acting bug, that she deferred an admission to Stanford University for fall of 2005 in order to continue her career.

Over that summer, she took a part in her father’s producing effort, the thriller “Simon Says” (2007), in which she starred along with Lively’s sisters, Lori and Robyn, as the terrorized victims of demented killer Crispin Glover. “Sisterhood” was released in June to glowing critical reviews and became a modest box office hit. She then continued on with Universal Pictures’ college comedy “Accepted” (2006). Looking for more dramatic challenges, Lively also starred in the independent drama “Elvis and Anabelle” (2007), in which she played the part of a dead beauty queen resurrected by the kiss of Max Minghella’s morgue worker.

Upon the release in “Accepted” in the summer of 2006, Lively was already transitioning into two new challenges, particularly the world of television and series leading roles, as the anchoring actress on the pilot for “Gossip Girl” (2007), a teen drama series for The CW based on the series of Cecily Von Ziegesar novels of the same name. Lively took on the role of Serena, a savvy girl operating within New York’s privileged and debauched world of private schools. When the program premiered in the fall of 2007, it became a solid hit, but its ascent – as well as Lively’s – was interrupted by the writer’s three month strike that fall. But that didn't stop Lively from being propelled to It girl status.

In 2009, Lively has become one of the youngest actresses to ever grace the cover of American Vogue. She has also been on the cover of other major magazines such as: Cosmopolitian, W, Rolling Stone and many more.. She's also attended the Berlin Film Festival promoting the Rebecca Miller best-selling book The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. In which Lively portrays Young Pippa.

. In addition to being honored at the December 2006 Hollywood Life Breakthrough Awards, Lively won "Choice TV Actress" and "Choice TV Breakout Star" in 2008's Teen Choice Awards.

Lively splits her time between New York City and her hometown of Los Angeles.

Date of birth: February 21, 1987,
Place of birth: Jacksonville, Florida, USA
Nationality: American
Height: 5′ 5″ (1.65 m)
Hair color: Brunette
Occupation: Actress, model
Former jobs: Several modeling gigs, including ads for Feng Junk

Ashley Greene is a rising young star, who will have her big break playing Alice Cullen in Twilight due out this winter 2008. Greene is a southern girl from Jacksonville, Florida, who moved to Los Angeles fresh out of high school to pursue an acting career. She broke into Hollywood with roles in popular television shows including Ashton Kutcher’s prank show Punk’d and Fox’s MADtv.

Ashley is a former model. She has done modeling work for Fenk Junk, Vision NYC, Sutra and been photographed by Carlos Armando for some campaigns. Her acting career started in 2006 when she guest starred on the television shows Crossing Jordan, playing Ann Rappaport opposite Jill Hennessy and Miguel Ferrer, and Shark, in which she was only seen in brief shots in the background - but bigger parts soon followed. Ashley got a regular gig on the soap Desire, but the series was cancelled after just one season.

Stepping into the film scene, Ashley had a bit part in 2007’s King of California. Up next for her is thriller Otis and the sci-fi drama Radio Free Albemuth, where she plays Rhonda - and, of course, the highly anticipated Twilight movie.

Based on the beloved novel, Twilight is about a teenage girl, Bella, who risks everything when she falls in love with Edward Cullen, a vampire. It will be helmed by Thirteen director Catherine Hardwicke and also stars Kristen Stewart as Bella, Robert Pattinson as Edward, Peter Facinelli as Carlisle, Elizabeth Reaser as Esme and Nikki Reed as Rosalie. Ashley Greene will play one of the vampires, Alice Cullen.

Alice shares many of the physical traits associated with Twilight vampires, such as inhuman beauty, pale skin, golden eyes which deepen to black depending on thirst, and deep, purple shadows under her eyes. She is described as being small, 4′10″, with petite, “pixie-like” features. Her hair is described as cropped, spiky, and black. She carries herself with the grace of a dancer when walking, and it is mentioned that with her agility she could make even a ballerina jealous.

“The auditioning process was really long for me…. a couple of months. And I don’t really know the people considered. I try not to focus on that stuff. And I knew about a month before I flew out,” Ashley says on her auditioning experience.

Anne Vyalitsyna

You know that you’ve made it in the modeling industry when even casual fans recognize you by your last initial. That’s certainly the case for Anne V, a sumptuous sensation who quickly positioned herself among the world’s top models.
ANNE V JOINS THE LIKES OF HEIDI KLUM
Born in the bustling metropolis of Gorky, Russia, Anne V began her professional career at the age of 15 when she won an MTV modeling competition. Anne V was awarded a contract with IMG, the same agency that has represented Tyra Banks, Gisele Bundchen and Heidi Klum. "I've wanted to be a model ever since I was little, playing with my Barbie doll," she admits. "It helped [for the runway] that I can dance, but everything is self-taught."
ANNE V APPEARS IN SI SWIMSUIT ISSUE
Since her discovery, Anne V's grace has been put to good use on Europe’s most glamorous runways, where she has modeled clothing for a veritable who’s who of designers, including Alexander McQueen, Calvin Klein, Christian Lacroix, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, and Marc Jacobs. Anne V’s famous visage has also been splashed across the covers of Vogue, ELLE, Glamour, and Gloss. However, most men probably know her best for her mouthwatering appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Anne V made her debut in the legendary magazine in 2005 and has been a mainstay ever since. Her February 2008 spread was particularly steamy, and we loved Anne V in the 2009 SI Swimsuit Issue.
