Biography

Bardot
Main article: Bardot (band)

Monk's professional music career began in 1999 when she responded to an advertisement at the recommendation of her mother which requested girls with vocal and dance experience. The advertisement was for the Australian television series, Popstars, a TV talent show which aimed to create a successful new girl group. Monk, who has been trained in classical and pop singing and has been performing since she was eight years old, drove all night to audition. In one audition, she performed a rendition of Marilyn Monroe's famous "Happy Birthday, Mr. President", working on her previous experience as a Monroe impersonator at Warner Bros. Movie World. After numerous rounds of singing and dancing workshops, Monk was selected as a member of the group, which was named Bardot.

Bardot became the first Australian act to debut at the #1 position with both its debut single, "Poison", and self-titled debut album. Further singles "I Should've Never Let You Go" and "These Days" followed and in August, the group embarked on its first national tour. Bardot performed at the 2000 ARIA Awards at which they were nominated in three categories.

In July 2001, the group released "ASAP", the first single from their second album. Bardot now had more control over their music and image. The single peaked Top 5, as did follow-up single, "I Need Somebody", their most successful single since "Poison". The second album, Play It Like That debuted at #16, achieving gold status. Monk co-wrote the album track "Feel Right" with fellow bandmate Sally Polihronas. In 2002, final single, "Love Will Find A Way" completed Bardot's string of consecutive Top 20 hits and the group embarked on its second national tour. In May, the group disbanded.

Solo music career

Soon after Bardot's split, Monk began work on her solo career, re-signing a solo contract with Warner Music. She travelled overseas to work with some well-known producers including hit maker Rob Davis (famous for co-writing Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out Of My Head") and this resulted in two tracks, "Inside Outside", Monk's debut solo single and the album track "Don't Push It". Sophie performed her new single for the very first time in September on the grand final edition of the AFL Footy Show at Rod Laver Arena. "Inside Outside" was released 28 October 2002 and after a week of busy promotion, debuted in the Top 5, spending a total of 12 weeks in the ARIA Top 50, receiving gold status. Monk also co-wrote the B-side "Luv Me" (in dedication to her long-term boyfriend of the time) with producer Shane Monopoly. Adding to her growing profile was her role as model and spokesperson for Expozay Swimwear. Second single, "Get The Music On", became another Top 10 hit, spending 10 weeks in the Top 50. The single's B-side "Shake" was also co-written by her.

In May 2003, Monk released her debut solo album, Calendar Girl, which surprised many by mixing contemporary pop-dance and funk with classical opera interludes, Monk having been classically trained growing up. Despite heavy promotion including TV advertising and in store appearances, the album debuted at #35 which was seen as a disappointing result. The album's final single, the ballad "One Breath Away", was re-recorded and mixed for single release, peaking at #23 in July, spending only 9 weeks in the Top 100. Despite beginning work on new material in early 2004, including songs with dance act Rogue Traders, Monk parted ways with Warner Music. The material created during these sessions has yet to surface.

Sophie Monk In a Sex Scene



Acting career

Sophie Monk has since established herself in Hollywood. Although most of her roles have been reasonably small, she did play Marilyn Monroe for a high-budget telemovie The Mystery Of Natalie Wood (2004) and starred in the music video "Always" for rock group blink-182.

In February 2006, she starred in her debut feature role as the flirtatious and seductive 'best man' Andy in the spoof comedy Date Movie. A scene in the film sees Monk act out a parody of the infamous Paris Hilton burger advertisement, somewhat ironic now since her ex-fiancee started dating Hilton in 2008.

June 2006 saw the release of the Adam Sandler film Click, a story about a universal remote control. The film debuted at #1 on both the US and Australian box office charts. Monk plays a small role in this film; Stacey, David Hasselhoff's flirtatious, bimbo secretary who she described in an interview as "... kind of a floozy that kind of just works there because she gets around a bit. Another serious character."

In 2007 she appeared in HBO's Entourage episode "The Day Fuckers", which included a sex scene with Vincent Chase.

Also in 2007, Monk played the role of Cynthia Rose in the dark comedy Sex and Death 101, written and directed by Daniel Waters. The film stars fellow Australian actor Simon Baker, and Winona Ryder, and received a straight-to-DVD release on 5 March 2008.

In 2009, Sophie Monk is due to appear in a total of 6 films:

Firstly, in the upcoming Warner Bros. comedy Spring Breakdown she plays "Mason Masters". Monk describes her character as "... the head of the evil girls. I'm like the evil bitch that everyone wants to be like and they all end up hating her." She has confirmed that she is recording three songs for the film Spring Breakdown and that one of the songs "Candy" will be released as a single to coincide with the film's release. She is also set to star in a similarly named comedy titled Spring Break '83 in which she plays the character Brittany.

Also in 2009, Monk will appear in the horror film Murder World alongside Scout Taylor-Compton, as well as the films The Hills Run Red, Hard Breakers and The Legend of Awesomest Maximus.

Other activities

Monk has also appeared in an array of commercials and advertisements including Primus Telecom, Diet Vanilla Coke, LG Mobile and 3 Telecommunications. Monk was also the face for the launch of the Biofit Bra by Pleasure State, for which she went on a promotional press tour of Australia. Monk recorded an update of Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" for the promotion, and a music-video style commercial to accompany it was played throughout Myer stores in Australia. The cover was produced by Benji Madden, Monk's fiancee at the time, and was released as a promo single in Myer stores.

Monk also a co-presenter with Perez Hilton at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards in Sydney. Monk also hosted the 2007 AFI Awards, but was heavily criticized for not handling the gig well.

Monk appeared in a series of reality television styled commercials for MTV to help promote Snoop Dogg for Australian Citizenship. The humorous commercials, that were shot in Bondi Beach, featured Monk living with Snoop and trying to help him adjust to an Australian way of life. His constant cussing at inappropriate times as well as not holding back on conversations of a sexual nature often put him in an awkward position, particularly in one that features Monk's parents coming to visit for dinner.

In August 2008 she was photographed eating KFC fast-food, despite previously producing several anti-animal cruelty ads and attacking people who eat KFC because of animal-cruelty

Monk was born in England, but her parents moved to Australia's Gold Coast in Queensland. She also spent time at Somerset College and MacGregor State High School . Whilst at MacGregor State High School, she was a School Captain in her senior year (1997), and was enlisted in the school's CAD (Center of Artistic Development) Program. Prior to, during and after her experience as a member of Popstars, Monk dated Chris Cooper from Tasmania, with whom she split shortly before moving to the United States.

Monk has had a tabloid-reported private life, including a period dating actor Jude Law. Monk started dating Benji Madden in 2006, but in January 2008, media outlets reported that the couple had split up. Monk had returned to Australia alone, almost a year to the day since Madden proposed. On , 2008 it was officially announced by Monk's Sydney agent, Yoon Kim, that "Sophie and Benji have officially split. The decision was mutual and they remain amicable." Three months later, Monk was linked to Ryan Seacrest.

Monk is vegetarian.

Shirtless Justin Bieber & Bikini-Clad Selena Gomez Hit the Beach in Hawaii

Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez in Hawaii

Soon after landing in Hawaii, hand in hand Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber head for the beach. Justin in only board shorts reveals his tattoos.

After a PDA-filled night at the Billboard Music Awards Sunday, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez departed for a romantic getaway Monday to Hawaii. How adorable!

Shortly after landing in paradise, the couple checked into their hotel and hit the beach. Justin, in board shorts, and Selena, in a fuchsia bikini were hand in hand as their entourage followed behind in tow as they took a stroll to the sand.

So glad that the Biebs and Gomez are getting a chance to relax together, but Biebs was still working the promotional angle even while on his vacation. On Tuesday morning, he tweeted: “thinking about having a movie night…everyone wants to watch #NeverSayNever3D …..im mean im down…but is that weird? lol.”
Justin was also sporting a new tattoo around his left ribcage, which apparently means “Jesus” in Hebrew.
Both have been working nonstop, and it’s nice to see they are becoming more open with their relationship without giving too much away.
Now get some R&R you two!

Hottest Celebrity Sisters

Girls with Good Genes

There are some seriously hot gals out there, and it might come as no surprise that their siblings have also been genetically blessed.

Dakota Fanning's 13-year-old sister has had a few movie roles here and there over the years, but her career is really heating up in 2011. She stars in Sofia Coppola's Somewhere and three other flicks this year! The young star certainly has a bright future ahead of her. Plus, she's darling.

 

 

9. Kendall and Kylie Jenner

Kendall and Kylie Jenner are Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian's half-sisters and they're certainly on their way to a life in the spotlight.

8. Ali Lohan

Lindsay Lohan's kid sister Ali got started in showbiz as a Ford model at the ripe old age of 3!

Jamie Lynn Spears didn't go for the pop star thing like her older sister Britney. Instead made a name for herself on TV with her show Zoey 101, though her acting career was cut short when she had a baby back in 2007. Since then it seems like she's been focused on being a mom.

4. Nicky Hilton

Nicky Hilton seems to prefer to stay out of the spotlight -- at least when compared to her attention-loving older sister Paris -- but she definitely knows how to work the cameras. Nicky is a former model and current fashion designer who'll most likely be featured on Paris' new reality show soon.

 

 

 

3. Monica Cruz

It's not hard to figure out this lovely lady is Penelope Cruz's sister. The hair! The lips! The smoldering eyes! Monica Cruz is a Spanish actress and dancer and Penelope's youngest sibling. Fun fact: Monica was a stand-in for her pregnant sis for some of the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides scenes!

1. Angel McCord

AnnaLynne McCord's 23-year-old sister Angel hasn't done much in Hollywood besides look hot -- that we can tell, anyway. Angel is often seen sporting minidresses for the camera but apparently she has a small part in The Sacred, a horror film that will be released later this year.

How Rich is Justin Bieber ?

Pop sensation Justin Bieber is estimated to have banked at least $100m at the age of just 17. In the latest ThisIsMoney UK series on celebrity money, it looked at how he rapidly made his millions.
Indeed, his non-stop social media promotion for his concert documentary ‘Never Say Never’ helped catapult the movie to an incredibly strong box office weekend.
According to Forbes, the film earned $30.2 million, just below Adam Sandler’s ‘Just Go With It,’ which earned $30.5 million.The big question is whether or not Bieber can use his social media influence for the greater good.
Justin Bieber is not only causing the world’s female teenage population to swoon at the sight of his floppy hair and the sound of his girlish singing voice but he also gets the money men’s pulses racing too.
The 17-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter, is currently on a gruelling worldwide 140-date tour from Manchester to Melbourne.
He was talent spotted on YouTube just three years ago, and now earns an estimated $300,000 (£183,000) a concert in addition to rivers of cash from record sales, merchandising, personal appearances and celebrity endorsements.
Estimates suggest he has already banked at least $100m (£61m) and counting.

Bieber’s massive appeal – in March he was the second most popular celebrity on the Twitter website (behind Lady Gaga) with just over 8.3m followers – means he commands huge sums for the most fleeting of appearances in advertisements.
He was paid a staggering $1m (£610,000) for donning a space suit and uttering a few words in a 30 second ad for technology retail giant Best Buy transmitted during the US Super Bowl earlier this year – one of the most sought-after spots for advertisers – and his baby-face looks led him to win a $3m (£1.2m) two-year deal to endorse the US acne treatment ProActiv.He also supplements his income by putting his name to a bed linen range, headphones, scented children’s jewellery and even a brand of nail varnish called One Less Lonely Girl.
New vocabulary has also been coined on the back of Bieber’s swift rise to prominence: fans are ‘Beliebers’ and the infectious nature of his popularity is ‘Bieber fever’. Such is his popularity that his concert tickets sell out in minutes.

Scooter Braun, the pop manager who spotted the teen wonder’s potential while scouring YouTube, took Bieber to meet US R&B giant Usher and between them they have helped orchestrate the singer’s rapid rise to fame and fortune.
Despite the heartthrob’s vast earnings and tough schedule, the 5′ 2” singer receives an allowance of just $50 a day, is grounded if he misbehaves and must do regular school work, according to an interview with the star and his keepers in the News of the World. Braun was quoted as saying: ‘We have these rules to keep him in line. We treat him like any other teenager.’
Bieber added: ‘My mom wants me to learn how to be very smart with my money’.
Born on 1 March 1994, in Stratford, Ontario, to struggling single mother Pattie Mallette, Bieber taught himself to play piano, drums and the trumpet, and took part in singing competitions in his hometown.
He made it on to YouTube thanks to his mother uploading video footage.
His 2010 debut album My World 2.0 topped the US charts and went double platinum, while his catchy ‘Baby’ single shot up the charts worldwide.
Earlier this year his 3D movie ‘Justin Bieber: Never Say Never’ helped to boost ‘the Biebs’ bank coffers further – after just two weeks the film took $48m (£29m) in ticket sales in the US.

And he earns yet more cash from on Beliebers who take their obsession to the next level by collecting a series of Bieber dolls (UK RRP £15.99 each) that present him in different outfits. Those who want to add some authentic voice to the doll have to stump up as much as £69.99 for the version that also sings ‘Baby’. Bieber fever indeed.

Can You Find a Job Without a College Degree?

For many people who worked their way up, the lack of degree was never an impediment — until they lost their jobs.

 Bill Gates never graduated from college. Neither did Michael Dell nor Steve Jobs. Outside of the tech world, Richard Branson has done pretty well for himself without a college degree, as has Barry Diller.
But Sharon Willis is a more common example of the challenges to American workers who never graduated from college.
Since February, Willis has been the acting vice president for external affairs at Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, a medical and health-sciences graduate school of 850 students. She will continue in that role until some time in the fall, when she will resume her position as deputy vice president. The VP role is one she wanted to apply for when it became vacant but couldn’t, even though she had the experience and knowledge. Why? She doesn’t have a bachelor’s degree.

Willis started at the university 28 years ago as a clerk typist and worked her way up through the ranks. She describes herself as the “go-to” person for just about everybody with whom she works. Willis has done the job of vice president, and the college president knows she is up to the task on a permanent basis, yet her lack of a college diploma — a job requirement – means she does not qualify for the position.


Willis has hit a professional wall at the university, and she realizes that things would likely not be different elsewhere.
“When we have vacancies here, I see the qualifications of the applicants, many of whom have master’s degrees,” said Willis. “I realize that if I were to leave here, I would probably rank at the bottom of the applicant pool because of my lack of a degree, despite excellent experience, job stability, a very strong work ethic and great references. It’s disheartening.”
What Willis suspects to be true about the world outside the university is only too real for many of the millions of people the recession unleashed upon the job market. Many of these people started at a company in an entry-level position and worked their way up the ladder. Not having a college degree may not have mattered – until the time came to apply for a new position.
Bruce Hurwitz, president and CEO of Hurwitz Strategic Staffing, said he sees this issue come up regularly. “Every time I have tried to get a client to waive the college-degree requirement in light of the candidate’s exemplary work experience, I have been refused,” he said. “They almost always say that it is their policy that all employees have at least a college degree.”
Such jobs now account for most of the economy. Nearly 60 percent of American jobs now require at least a bachelor’s degree, according to “Help Wanted: Projections of Jobs and Education Requirements Through 2018,” a June 2010 report released by the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University. That number jumped from 28 percent in 1973 to 59 percent in 2008 and is expected to rise to 63 percent over the next decade, the report said.

Resume and Networking Solutions

So is your dream job, even most jobs, out of reach if you don’t have a college degree?
“I believe that employers want the right person for the job,” said Karla Porter, director of workforce development and HR for the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry and a private consultant on human capital and new media. “They’re not looking for a certificate, a degree, a piece of paper; they are looking for a solution provider. If there is a person who can do that for them and has a proven track record and can show what they’ve accomplished for other companies, I believe they will be considered.” All of this must be conveyed in a carefully constructed resume. “To replace the college-degree situation on a resume, the person needs to stress the results they have been able to achieve due to their extensive experience,” said Dianne Durkin, president and founder of Loyalty Factor, a consulting and training firm.
“Make sure the resume is very, very well done,” Porter said. “If it’s not, it will go to the ‘C’ pile.”
Tony Deblauwe, senior HR partner at Citrix Systems and founder of HR4Change, agreed: “Your resume has to be rock-solid. It has to demonstrate your experience, your skills, your accomplishments. You’re promoting your best skills so that people focus on that and not get to the end and say, ‘Well, where’s your degree?’ ”
Cheryl Palmer, president of Call to Career, said she has worked with many people who have been to college but never got the degree. When writing a resume for a person in this situation, she mentions the college major and degree program but does not state that that he has a degree. “I’m being truthful, but not drawing undue attention to the fact that they don’t have a degree.”
This strategy will also help you get your resume past the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) software that most companies use to screen resumes.
“If (a job description) says ‘bachelor’s degree required’ and you don’t have a bachelor’s degree, your resume can say ‘bachelor’s degree not completed or not attained’ so the system will pick up the keywords ‘bachelor’s degree,’” Porter said. “You don’t want to say anything that is not true, but you want your resume to get in front of people. Make sure your resume contains the same keywords that the job description contains, and then rearrange them to how they fit for you.”
It’s commonly understood that networking is one of the most important things you can do when pursuing a new job, but it’s even more critical if you don’t have a degree, said Palmer. “If you don’t have a degree, the whole idea of networking is much, much more critical,” she said. “Employers prefer to hire someone that they know something about. They prefer people who have come referred. If you are trying to land a job in this very competitive job market and you don’t have a degree, you really have to take that networking to another level, to get around the fact that most employers are looking for a bachelor’s degree at an absolute minimum.”
Along those same lines, strong recommendations from clients, former employers, co-workers and associations can go a long way toward making up for the lack of a college degree.

It’s Never Too Late

So, what else can you do if you don’t have a college degree? Well, you can get one – or at least begin working toward one, no matter what your age.
Once enrolled in a program, you can write on a resume that a degree is “in progress,” experts suggested.
That’s just what the Uniformed Services University’s Willis is doing.
A busy single mother of three, Willis is taking classes in business management in the hopes that she can break through the barriers put up by the lack of a degree. Willis said her boss is very supportive and is giving her whatever time she needs. In addition, because she works for a federal institution, she gets tuition reimbursement. All of this, along with flexible options such as online classes, has allowed Willis to start on a path she hopes will lead to a higher-level position.
“I think in the long run, people are much better off just going ahead and pursuing the degree, no matter how hard it may be,” she said. “That’s what everyone will be looking for. You do get to a certain point where you just can’t go any further, and that’s where I am right now.”
