Before I give you some hints about our new Celebrity X issue, I must say that we are almost done with migrating of the site to new Wordpress platform. That means that in a week or so, you will be witnesses of totally new and improved design of CelebritiesTAN.com, as well as faster loading of site although some extra features will be added, which will stay secret for now. All existing content and categories will stay unchanged, and you will always be able to reach content about your favorite celebrities again.

It means that you can look up every day what is new on CelebritiesTAN.com, and fresh posts about new celebrities will wait for you. That is all about technical info for now, but lets move on to next Celebrity X now.

Today we present you another top female Hollywood celebrity when she was young. Difference between her and our past actors and actresses is that she comes from England. This hint already tells you much, because she is one of top five most famous English actresses, and some sources even gave her a title of “the best English-speaking film actress of her generation”. Beside that, at the age of 22, she became the youngest actress to receive two Oscar nominations, and at the of age 33, she is now the youngest actor of either sex to receive six nominations. Along impressive award list goes huge list of successful roles, of course. Probably the most famous role in her career was that one in romantic disaster blockbuster from 1997, where she acted with another one great Hollywood celebrity, mentioned in our past issue of Celebrity X.

Celebrity X No. 13

Like in the previous Celebrity X issue, today we are presenting you another popular American singer. To be more precise, this celebrity became famous pop and R&B singer and songwriter. She was born in Staten Island, New York, although when her parents divorced, mother took her and her younger sister to their grandmother’s home in Rochester, Pennsylvania, a suburb outside of Pittsburgh. For that reason she has spent the majority of her childhood in Pennsylvania. Celebrity from the picture aspired to be a singer from her very young age. At that time, she was known locally as “the little girl with the big voice”, singing in local talent shows and competitions. According to some sources, her brilliant talent provoked fear in all of her competitors. Whenever competitors heard that they would be up against her in any given competition week, they would immediately withdraw. She was so good that soon her peers became jealous of her and would frequently subject her to ridicule. Jealousy even escalated with acts of vandalism around her house including the slashing of the tires on the family car and similar acts. Eventually, the family relocated to Wexford, another suburb in the Pittsburgh area. At least, this time they tried to keep her talent in secrecy to avoid further inconveniences.

She first appeared on national television in 1990 as a contestant on the Star Search program, and went on to star in Disney Channel’s television series The New Mickey Mouse Club from 1993–1994. I hope that until now you have a clue about the possible name of this celebrity, so it is time to find out who are we talking about this time.

Celebrity X No. 11

Before moving on to a new Celebrity X issue, I want to apologize because I didn`t publish new posts in the past two days. Last week I announced some brand new categories that are yet to come and other interesting stuff which are scheduled to appear on CelebritiesTAN.com throughout this week. We are considering migrating site to Wordpress platform because it is more flexible and gives us much more room to play with some new and exciting features. In that way we could make the site even more interactive and playful so you would have more stuff to enjoy on CelebritiesTAN.com. Because of this transfer we are spending a lot of time researching what is the best way to export data and migrate the design to have better look and feel for you as our number one priority. Given that, please have some patience for the next month or so. We’ll keep you posted about our progress.

Today I prepared a little bit harder Celebrity X issue. This picture is really rare, and there is no way to know who it is, unless you are his loyal fan. But don`t worry, I`ll give you few hints. The person on the picture was born in Los Angeles, but his mother moved from Germany to the U.S. during her childhood, while his father is half of Italian and half German descent. His parents gave him name after one worldwide famous artist, but soon they divorced, when he was just one year old. He firstly appeared in a TV show as a five years old boy. In relatively short period of time he managed to progress into top category of Hollywood superstars, with his extraordinary sense for acting. He has amazing list of roles in numerous blockbusters in his successful acting history, but his claim to fame was role in which he acted as Toby in This Boy’s Life in 1993. I hope this helps you enough to realize who could it be. Continue reading and find out is your answer the right one.

Celebrity X No. 10

I returned from my trip to Venice, but now I wish that I could stay at least few days longer. You should go there if you still haven`t seen it, because Venice looks really wonderful, much better than on TV. The only problem is that the crowds are extremely annoying. When you are standing on the main square, Piazza San Marco, it almost feels like you are on a football match on some overcrowded stadium. But it is definitely worth to see such a great cultural attraction for a little bit of elbow pushing.

We are moving on with a new Celebrity X issue, which is in front of you. This one shouldn`t be hard to guess, because we have another Hollywood celebrity who became so popular today that you just can`t avoid hearing some gossip about her. Or gossip about her husband, equally famous actor, who is sixteen years older than her, or even their three year old daughter. Our Celebrity X began a highly publicized relationship with the mentioned actor in early 2005, and in November 2006 they got married in Italy. She first achieved worldwide fame for her role in one successful television teen drama (shown from 1998 to 2003). With these few hints, you should already know enough to guess who could it be. Follow the link below to find out if you are right, and to see few more interesting facts from her younger days. Check out the answer by double-clicking the “+/- Show Answer” link right below this text.
