The Bellucci's are pretty hot,no?

Monica Bellucci



Monica Bellucci was born on September 30th, 1968, in the village of Citta di Castello, in Umbria, Italy.

Initially pursuing a career as a lawyer, Monica decided to start modeling in order to help pay for her tuition while at the University of Perugia.

But of course, the glamorous life of a model -- which includes travel and a sweet income -- tempted Monica away from her law studies.

But it was her role in the 1996 film, L'Appartement, that earned Monica her acting accolades.

Her role as Lisa earned her a Cesar nomination (French equivalent of the Oscar) in the Most Promising Young Actress category, and ensured that audiences and film critics would take notice of this up-and-coming starlet.

The movie also co-starred her husband, Vincent Cassel, whom she later married in 1999.

Although the model-turned-actress has reached incredible heights in both streams of her career, she still dreams of working with the legendary Robert De Niro.

Monica and her husband will soon be parents, as they are expecting their first child in the fall of 2004.

Halle Berry Hot Picture


Halle Berry


Halle Maria Berry was born on the 14th of August, 1968 (though some insist it was 1966), in Cleveland, Ohio.

She was named after the town's Halle Building, which originally housed the Halle Brothers department store but is now an office block (it's also used in the Drew Carey Show).

Her father, Jerome, an African American and a hospital attendant by trade, left when she was just four, so she and her elder sister Heidi were raised by their Caucasian, Liverpool-born mother, Judith, herself a nurse in a psychiatric ward.

Jerome would return after four years but the violence he directed towards Judith and Heidi meant that he did not stay for long.

Throughout her adult life, Halle Would have no contact with him at all, still being estranged when Jerome died in 2003.

Halle's first few years were spent in a black neighbourhood of Cleveland.

Here her fair complexion made her stand out, but not as much as she did when her mother moved them out of the inner-city to a mainly white suburb.

Now, a little older and in this conservative milieu, her "difference" was not so readily tolerated. "I'm black," she said later.

"I realised very early in my life that I wasn't going to be this mulatto stuck in the middle, not knowing if I'm black or white".
