Adrienne Eliza Bailon (born October 24, 1983) is an American actress, singer-songwriter, dancer, and television personality. She was a member of former girl groups 3LW and The Cheetah Girls, and is also known for her roles in the Disney Channel Original Movie of the same name and latter sequels which brought the group to prominence. She is currently a solo artist via Island Def Jam, as well as hosts afternoon programming and other events for MTV.

Early life

Bailon was born to a Puerto Rican mother and an Ecuadorian father on October 24, 1983. She grew up in Lower Eastside Manhattan, New York. She attended High School for Health Professions and Human Services. But when her girl group 3LW took off in 2001, she pursued her new profession as a singer rather than towards careers in health and human services.

Career

3LW (1999–2007)

In 1999, Bailon was singing in a church choir which caught the attention of popstar Ricky Martin. Martin asked for the best four singers, and Bailon was among those chosen. After this success, Bailon auditioned to join a girl group, which became 3LW.

Along with Kiely Williams and Naturi Naughton, the group signed to Epic Records and released their debut album of the same name in late 2000, which had moderate success in the U.S. Their debut single "No More (Baby I'ma Do Right)", peaked at #23 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, along with Playas Gon' Play which was favorable among fans but didn't share the same success of No More (Baby I'ma Do Right). The album peaked at #29 on the charts was certified platinum by the RIAA for sales of over 1.3 million copies in the U.S.

The group soon began work on a second album, "Same Game, Different Rules", and the lead single, "Never Let Go" was sent to radios, however the entire album soon leaked to the internet, and Epic Records considered dropping them. Fans however led a protest, "Never Let Go of 3LW", and the act was retained. After many arguments, Naturi Naughton left the group, right before their official second album, "''A Girl Can Mack''" was released. The album was considered "racier" than their previous effort and dealt with negative publicity due to the departure of Naturi.

As a duo, which the tabloids nicknamed, "2LW", Adrienne and Kiely released a holiday album, "Naughty or Nice". The duo also scored a film together in Disney's "The Cheetah Girls". They shot the film the winter of 2002. After filming, Jessica Benson replaced Naturi in early 2003 and they began work on a third album, "Phoenix Rising". In 2004, they were dropped from Epic and signed to Sony and So So Def Records. Adrienne & Kiely went on to shoot two more Cheetah Girl films, as well as sign a record deal as a musical group with Sabrina Bryan.

In 2005, Sony released a compilation album, "Neva Get Enuf", before dropping them, and in 2006 "Phoenix Rising" was renamed "Point of No Return" with its lead single, "Feelin' You" ft. Jermaine Dupri being released. The album however was delayed and later scrapped, and the group was dropped from So So Def Records in 2007. They disbanded that same year.

The Cheetah Girls (2004–2009)

In the fall of 2002, Bailon along with Williams were cast in the Disney channel original movie ''The Cheetah Girls'' with Sabrina Bryan and Raven-Symoné. The movie was released in August 2003 and was a ratings success. The Cheetah Girls soundtrack debuted at #33 on the ''Billboard'' 200 and was later certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA.

Bailon had a supporting role on Disney Channel's ''That's So Raven'' which she played Alana. In 2005, she starred in ''Coach Carter''. Walt Disney Records soon created a real-life girl group, composed of Adrienne, Kiely, and Sabrina Bryan. Raven-Symone was offered a spot in the group but declined to focus on her solo career and ''That's So Raven''. Their holiday album, "Cheetah-licious Christmas" was released that year, and they soon left Walt Disney and signed to Hollywood Records in 2006. Bailon then starred in the MTV film ''All You've Got'', along with R&B; singer Ciara. The movie was released to DVD on May 2006 and premiered on MTV.

The group later returned to film the sequel ''The Cheetah Girls 2''. The movie premiered on August 25, 2006 and brought a total of 8.1 million viewers, becoming the highest rated Disney Channel original movie and beating the premiere of the first of the ''High School Musical'' films. The soundtrack to the movie released on August 15, 2006 and debuted at #5 on the charts and was certified platinum by the end of the year. The soundtrack had hit singles like The Party's Just Begun, and Strut which peaked at #85 and #53 on the Hot 100. The Cheetah Girls began work on their debut album in January 2006. However, when filming and recording for ''The Cheetah Girls 2'' came up, the album was put on hold. "We'll be making a real album, not a soundtrack", Bailon said. Their debut album ''TCG'' was released on September 25, 2007 and featured the single "Fuego", which charted on Hot Dance Club Play's chart and had its video played in heavy rotation on Disney Channel and MTV Tr3s.

In 2008, the group filmed the ''The Cheetah Girls: One World''; the film was the only film to not feature Raven-Symoné. The movie premiered on Disney Channel on August 22, 2008 and was in summer's top movies and ranked #2. The soundtrack to the movie peaked at #13 on the ''Billboard'' 200. Bailon recorded two solo tracks for ''The Cheetah Girls: One World'', "What If" and "Stand Up".

In November 2008, Williams, in an interview with ''In Touch Weekly'' magazine, stated that the group would be breaking up as all three members were pursuing solo albums. Bailon later confirmed it also. As of January 2009, the group disbanded.

Solo Career (2009–present)

Bailon's solo career began when she signed to Island Def Jam Records in early 2009, with an album to come which features Ne-Yo, The-Dream, Anthony Marshall, Stereotypes, Darkchild, Pitbull, Danja, D'Mile, Estelle.

"It’s an R&B-pop; album that kind of reminds me of a modern day version of 3LW, I’m going back to my roots of R&B; and hip-pop. I’m so excited. It’s going to be a great album and I think people will be really surprised."

Her album includes the songs "Rainy Days", "Superbad", "Hello", "They Don't Really Know", and "When He's Here".

She also stars in Pitbull's "Give Me Everything" featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer.

Angela "Angie" Martinez (born January 9, 1971, Brooklyn, New York) is an American radio personality and occasional rapper.

Radio career

Angie Martinez got her first break in radio at the age of 16 answering hot lines at the urban radio station WQHT ("Hot 97"). There she met popular DJ Funkmaster Flex, and began working as his protégé. Martinez quickly picked up on the craft of running a successful radio program. Executives at the station decided to give her a chance, even though she lacked on-air experience.

Acting

She caught the attention of television producer Simon Fuller. Fuller thought that Martinez would become an excellent addition to ''American Idol''. Martinez signed a contract to be the fourth judge alongside Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell for seasons 2, 3 and 4 of the Fox network's ratings giant. After only four days on the audition trial, Martinez admitted to being unable to crush the dreams of hopefuls. She said watching the aspiring singers leave in tears and breaking down with their families comforting them was too much for her to take. Martinez asked the Fox Network to remove her from the program. Throughout the remainder of that season, she was replaced with different guest judges such as Clive Davis, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Quentin Tarantino, Brandy, and Mark McGrath of rock band Sugar Ray. When HBO decided to branch from one channel into 8 sub channels that would concentrate on a certain demographic, scheduling conflicts while filming ''Stretch'' ensued. With the new taping schedule cutting into her time with her radio show and promotions, Martinez stepped back from the program at that point.

As an actress, Angie received small roles in independent hip hop films such as ''Blood is Thicker Than Water'' and ''Paper Soldiers''. She then appeared in ''Brown Sugar'' starring Taye Diggs, Queen Latifah and Sanaa Lathan.

Music career

In 1996, Martinez was encouraged to give rapping a shot by friend KRS-One. She appeared on his track "Heartbeat" from his 1997 album ''I Got Next''. After the song gained a strong fan following, another friend, Lil' Kim, offered her a spot on her song "Ladies' Night" for the ''Nothing to Lose'' soundtrack. Along with Missy Elliott, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes and Da Brat, the ladies enjoyed one of the most successful singles of 1997. It peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at #2, and reached #1 on the Hip-Hop / R&B; charts and the Rap charts respectively. The single sold over 1,000,000 copies and was certified Platinum. The ladies were nominated for two Grammy Awards that year, and were also invited to perform the song live on The MTV Video Music Awards. A major label battle began to sign Martinez to a recording contract. Her appearance on other rapper's material was in high demand. She recorded songs with Mary J. Blige ("Christmas in the City"), Terror Squad ("Freak Out"), N.O.R.E. ("Oh No Remix"), Beenie Man ("Tell Me Remix") and Funkmaster Flex & Big Kap's compilation album ''The Tunnel'' ("Wow"). She also recorded interludes for mixtapes by Kid Capri, DJ Clue and DJ Kayslay. In 2001, she appeared in the music video for Jay-Z and R. Kelly's "Guilty Until Proven Innocent".

On August 20, 2001, she finally issued her oft-delayed debut album, ''Up Close and Personal''. The album included production by DJ Clue, Salaam Remi, Knobody and RocWilder among others, and featured guest appearances by Jay-Z, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Wyclef Jean, Busta Rhymes and Kool G. Rap. The first single, "Dem Thangzzz" was produced by The Neptunes, and also featured background vocals by Pharrell Williams and Q-Tip. The track failed to make a strong impression at radio, but the album enjoyed strong first week sales. It debuted at #32 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart, and #10 on the Billboard Hot R&B;/Hip-Hop Charts selling 69,000 its first week. The second single, "Coast 2 Coast" (Suavamente) featuring rapper Wyclef Jean re-sparked interest in the album . She promoted the album with magazine posters, in-store signings, club appearances and television appearances with MTV and BET. The record received mixed reviews from critics, but like Martinez herself, was strongly accepted in the hip hop community. The album sold a low 325,000 units.

Following her first album's release, Angie began work on a second record ''Animal House''. In order to build anticipation for the record, she appeared on BET's ''Rap City'' and began a nation-wide radio tour. She recorded a verse for the remix to her Artist Sacario record "Live Big". It became the number one record in the tri-state area and coincidentally coincided with the release of Martinez's first single from her second album, "If I Could Go" which also featured Sacario and singer Lil' Mo. "If I Could Go" became a huge crossover hit on pop radio, climbing into the top 10 on The Billboard Hot 100 Chart. It became the #1 played on urban radio in 2002. The album, ''Animal House'' (named after Martinez's own production company and recording posse), was released on August 21, 2002. It entered the Billboard Hot 200 Albums Chart at #11, and the Billboard Hot Hip-Hop / R&B; Charts selling 92,000 units in its first week. The follow-up single, "Take You Home" featuring R&B; singer Kelis didn't receive as much attention, but it did become a minor hit that winter. The album was more strongly received by critics and fans. Following the release of the album, she was featured on a remix for labelmate Lil' Mo's track "Gangster", and Nina Sky's hype single "Time to Go". Following this she announced she was retiring from the recording industry to concentrate on her other projects.

Personal life

She has a son Niko Ruffin (born June 12, 2003) with Tamir "Nokio" Ruffin of Dru Hill.

The Cheetah Girls were an American girl group consisting of Raven-Symoné as Galleria Garibaldi, Adrienne Bailon as Chanel Simmons, Sabrina Bryan as Dorinda Thomas and Kiely Williams as Aquanetta Walker. The group was created by The Walt Disney Company, and made famous by the eponymous Disney Channel original film and its sequels, ''The Cheetah Girls 2'' and ''The Cheetah Girls: One World''. The group has released three studio albums, ''Cheetah-licious Christmas'', ''In Concert: The Party's Just Begun Tour'', and ''TCG'' and several RIAA certified Platinum albums including, ''The Cheetah Girls'', ''The Cheetah Girls 2'', and ''The Cheetah Girls: One World''. All of their albums and soundtracks have debuted in the ''Billboard'' 200. The soundtrack to their first movie sold over 2 million copies.

The group has launched a clothing line, several perfume collections, doll lines, room decor, a book series, and a video games line. The group has had three nationwide tours, Cheetah-licious Christmas Tour, The Party's Just Begun Tour and One World Tour. The Cheetah Girls grossed over USD $43 million from their second tour.

Career

The group had a television movie, based on a bestselling series of young adult books of the same name by Deborah Gregory, was debuted on August 15, 2003. The film won several awards including Black Reel awards, an Image Award. The movie's DVD sold over 800,000 copies. The film received over 84 million viewers worldwide and remained a hit in the ratings for months afterwards. The Cheetah Girls were also supposed to be a TV series for ABC in their 2004-2005 season. The show was to begin production in early 2004, according to an article on the MTV news site, but according to another article on MTV News website in February 2004, it said ''The Cheetah Girls'' sitcom had been delayed, due to the success of ''That's So Raven''. Therefore, Raven would not be able to do the series. Although a pilot was shot in late 2003, ABC decided not to pick up the series.

Due to her busy schedule, as well as already being signed to the same label (Hollywood Records) as a solo act, Raven-Symoné decided not to be a part of the actual recording act, leaving the trio of just Bailon, Bryan and Williams. In January 2005, the girls recorded for the first time as a trio and recording act for the 2005 ''DisneyMania 3'' album, remaking the song "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" from the ''Hercules'' soundtrack.

The girls released their first recording in October, 2005 under Walt Disney Records, ''Cheetah-licious Christmas'', the holiday album included classic Christmas songs, as well as several original songs, one of which was co-written by all three girls. The album peaked at number 74 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The lead single, ''"Cheetah-licious Christmas"'', was rotated on Radio Disney and a music video for the song was shown on Disney Channel. A second single from the album, "Five More Days 'Til Christmas" was released as a Radio Disney-only single. The girls went on tour to support the album that fall. Along with Aly & AJ as the opening act and The Jonas Brothers as special guests, the tour was successful.

The Cheetah Girls began work on their debut album in January 2006. However, when filming and recording for ''The Cheetah Girls 2'' came up, the album was put on hold. ''"We'll be making a real album, not a soundtrack"'', Adrienne Bailon says. "''Some of the music on there will be produced by will.i.am from The Black Eyed Peas''", she says. "''It's important for people to see us as a real musical group. We have all this great marketing around us, with the movies and other things. But we are a musical group.''"

''The Cheetah Girls 2'' premiere received a total of over 8.1 million viewers, making it the highest rated premiere for a Disney Channel Original Movie at the time.

In an interview with ''Billboard'' about the postponed album, Sabrina Bryan stated that the girls worked on writing for the album on their Party's Just Begun tour and that they hoped to gather an audience of older fans while simultaneously staying true to their younger fan base. Bryan also stated that the girls would work with producers they've worked with in the past as well as exploring new producers, such as Timbaland.

The album was originally titled ''Who We Are'', and set to be released on June 19, 2007 but this was postponed to September 25, 2007, with a release name of ''TCG''.

The track "So Bring It On" was released as the album's first single. "Fuego" was released as the second single from the album.

Break-up

The girls began filming their third ''Cheetah Girls'' movie, entitled ''The Cheetah Girls: One World'', in March 2008. It is the only movie not to feature Raven-Symone and premiered on August 22, with its soundtrack released on August 19. The movie debuted with 6.2 million viewers, the lowest-ever rated premiere for the series. In the fall of 2008, the group went on tour to support the ''One World'' movie, which would be their last tour together. In January 2009, the group disbanded.

All three girls are currently working on solo records. Bryan released a book titled ''Princess of Gossip'' in 2009, had a small supporting role in the straight-to-dvd film ''Mostly Ghostly'', released another fitness DVD called ''Byou 2'', and had a part in the indie film ''If It Ain't Broke, Break It''. Both Williams and Bailon had small roles in 2008 film ''Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2'', with Bryan making a cameo in the form of a set of her Byou DVDs on display. Williams played a supporting role in the film ''The House Bunny'' starring Anna Farris. Williams filmed the music video for her first single ''Make Me A Drink'' in New York City in November 2008, which was later scrapped in favor of a promotional single titled ''Spectacular''. The album is scheduled to be released in 2011. Bailon's solo album is also scheduled for a 2011 release on Island Def Jam Records. In early 2009, Williams and Bryan talked about collaborating on a talk show together, which Williams described as "a young version of The View". The pilot for ''Dinner with Friends'' was filmed in May 2011.

Robert George Kardashian Sr. (February 22, 1944 – September 30, 2003) was an American attorney and businessman, best known as one of the attorneys for, and a friend of, OJ Simpson.

Personal life

Robert Kardashian is of Armenian descent. He came from an Armenian-American family from Los Angeles, California. Kardashian earned a Juris Doctor from the University of San Diego School of Law and practiced for about a decade; after that, he went into business. When he presented the OJ Simpson case in 1995, it had been over 20 years since Kardashian had last practiced law.

He is the father of reality show personalities Kourtney Kardashian, Kimberly "Kim" Kardashian Humphries, Khloé Kardashian Odom, and Robert Kardashian Jr., with his former wife Kris Jenner.

OJ Simpson case

Kardashian and Simpson first met in the early 1970s and became close friends. Kardashian let his license to practice law become inactive three years before the Simpson case. He reactivated his license to aid in Simpson's defense as a volunteer assistant on his legal team. He sat by Simpson throughout the trial.

Simpson stayed in Kardashian's house during the days following the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Kardashian was the man seen carrying Simpson's garment bag the day that Simpson flew back from Chicago. Prosecutors speculated that the bag may have contained Simpson's bloody clothes or the murder weapon.

Simpson failed to turn himself in at 11 a.m. on June 17, 1994, and Kardashian read a letter by Simpson to the collected media. The letter was interpreted by many as a suicide note.

Per ''The New York Times'', "Mr. Kardashian said in a 1996 ABC interview that he questioned Mr. Simpson's innocence: 'I have doubts. The blood evidence is the biggest thorn in my side; that causes me the greatest problems. So I struggle with the blood evidence.'

Simpson was acquitted in the killings but was found liable for them in a later civil trial and ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages. At that time of the judgement, he had already transfered all of his estate to his mother, so he has yet to pay anything on the damages.

Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman were murdered on June 12, 1994. Simpson was charged with their deaths and subsequently acquitted of all criminal charges in a controversial criminal trial. In the unanimous jury findings of a civil court case in February 1997, Simpson was found liable for the wrongful death of Ronald Goldman and battery of Nicole Brown.

Death

Kardashian died of esophageal cancer on September 30, 2003. He was 59.

He died eight weeks after learning he had cancer of the esophagus, said his former wife, Kris Jenner, who is now married to the Olympic champion Bruce Jenner.
