Nastia Liukin was born on October 30, 1989, in Moscow, Russian SFSR, USSR. Her parents are two former Soviet champion gymnasts: gold medalist Valeri Liukin who won the 1988 Summer Olympics gold and Anna Kotchneva who is the 1987 World Clubs Champion in rhythmic gymnastics. Her nickname Nastia is a Russian diminutive for Anastasia.

When Nastia Liukin was two and a half years old, her family moved to the United States after the breakup of the Soviet Union. At the age of three, Nastia was "always hanging around in the gym" with her parents, who could not afford a babysitter to look after her while they were working as coaches. She competed in her first National Championships as a junior in 2002, when she was 12½ years old.

During that competition, Liukin suffered a fall on the uneven bars which rendered her unable to finish the routine. She continued through the rest of the competition and finished 15th, which landed her one of the final spots on the U.S. National Team. She was chosen to compete with the U.S. team at the 2002 Junior Pan American Championships, and there she contributed a gold medal and placed second on the uneven bars, balance beam and all-around.

Michelle was then forced to rob a bank. Luckily, after 14 hours of being held in captive, she managed to save their lives.

The movie will be aired on July 19, 2009 on the Lifetime Movie Network.

Leonard Bernstein was born on August 25, 1918 in Lawrence, Massachusetts to a Russian Jewish family. His grandmother insisted that his first name be Louis, but his parents always liked to call him Leonard. Bernstein's father initially opposed to his interest in music. Despite this, his grandmother frequently took him to orchestra concerts. Bernstein, at a very young age listened to piano performances and was immediately captivated so he subsequently began learning the piano.

During his teenage years, Leonard's enthusiasm for music exploded. He staged amateur operas, dabbled at composition, and played on a radio show sponsored by his father's beauty supply company, a harbinger of the broad scope of his future professional activity. He became particularly adept at improvising variations in the styles of various classical and pop composers. Lennny, as what people sometimes call him, practiced the piano voraciously at all hours of the night. However, he was rather the type of player with a spontaneous outburst of the sheer joy of playing and invention.

Ruslana Korshunova was born in Almaty, Kazakh SSR, and was of Russian descent. She spoke fluent Russian, English and German. She was discovered in 2003, when All Asia magazine printed a story on Almaty's local German language club, which Korshunova was then attending. Her photograph, which was featured in the article, caught the attention of Debbie Jones of Models 1, who tracked down and signed up the then 15-year-old Korshunova. Korshunova appeared on the front covers of Russian Vogue and French Elle and was dubbed "fashion's muse of the moment" by the Times newspaper in 2005. At this point in her career she would be earning $5200 for a catwalk show,

On June 28, 2008 at around 2:30 p.m., Ruslana Korshunova died after falling from the ninth-floor balcony of her apartment at 130 Water Street in Manhattan's Financial District. Police stated there were no signs of a struggle in her apartment and concluded that Korshunova's death is an apparent suicide. One of her friends stated that Korshunova had just returned from a modeling gig in Paris, noting that she seemed to be "on top of the world" with no apparent reason why she would commit suicide. However, she appeared brokenhearted and angry in some of her postings on a social networking site. Korshunova's most telling message came three months ago: "I'm so lost. Will I ever find myself?" Another posting read: "It hurts, as if someone took a part of me, tore it out, mercilessly stomped all over and threw it out." One cryptic entry in March reads: "My dream is to fly. Oh, my rainbow it is too high." Other postings revealed anger: "I'm a bitch. I'm a witch. I don't care what you say ... I know why my other relationships didn't work out, 'cause I'm unpredictable."

Her acting style has been compared to that of Judy Garland and Audrey Hepburn... Who is she? It's Anne Hathaway!And she also says that one of her favourite actresses is Miss Hepburn. Here we are introducing a new load of Anne Hathaway photos - non nude or not naked of course - she isn't in that type of acting. Although it is quite interesting that she was raised in the Catholic religion and wanted to become a nun - but after learning her brother Michael was gay she couldn't be a part of a religion that disapproved of her brother's sexual orientation. She has stated that she is a non-denominational Christian. Another random fact is that Anne Hathawy was a soprano who performed twice in 1998 with the All Eastern U.S. High School Honors Chorus at Carnegie Hall and has performed in plays at Seton Hall Prep in West Orange. Three days after performing at Carnegie Hall, she was cast in the short-lived 1999 television series Get Real. Enjoy the photos below...

Mila Kunis real full name is Milena Markovna Kunis and was born August 14, 1983 is a sexy American actress. She is best known for her tv roles: on That '70s Show (as Jackie Burkhart) and Family Guy (the voice of Meg Griffin).

Kunis was born in Kiev, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union (now Ukraine), to a Jewish family. Kunis became well known after being cast in the television series That '70s Show in 1998. During the auditions, all people auditioning for the roles in the show were required to be at least 18 years of age, so Kunis told the casting staff at the audition that she was going to be 18 "on her birthday" not specifying to which birthday she was referring. After receiving the part, she was kept on the role despite having misled the directors as she had been considered the best fit for the character and was thought to have been creative in her way of gaining the audition despite her age. She was 14 at the time of the audition and had turned 15 by the time the show began filming; when the executive producer said, "you said you were going to be 18", she responded with "I will be 18...". Kunis has stated many times that she is nothing like Jackie, her character on the show. Instead, she says that she is more of the cute girl-next-door type with a dash of tomboy. She has been nominated for a Teen Choice Award for playing Jackie seven times but failed to ever win.

Ashley Harkleroad is to appear in Playboy's August issue this year. I have no idea who she is, but is having an athlete in a men's magazine satisfying some sort of fantasy fetish for people into fit bodies? Erm. I dunno. But I just writing something here to introduce the photos I've got of Miss Ashley Harkleroad. I've read that Harkleroad had just lost against Serena Williams 6-2, 6-1 in the French Open last Monday. She herself is ranked 61 in worldwide tennis rankings. "I thought about it, and it was something that I did," Harkleroad said after the match. "I'm proud of my body. I was representing a female athlete's body." The 23-year-old tennis player and Playboy model noted other athletes who have appeared in the magazine, including Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard and former volleyball player Gabrielle Reese. "I'll be the first tennis player ever. That's kind of cool," Ashley Harkleroad said. "There's a few reasons why I did it, but I can't really go into it right now," she added. "But like I said, I really didn't think it was that big of a deal. I'm proud of my body. I stay in shape and try to stay fit."
