As a seasoned actor, writer, and stand-up comedian, Reiser continues to add to his list of accomplishments. In addition to co-creating and starring in the critically acclaimed NBC series “Mad About You,” which garnered him Emmy, Golden Globe, American Comedy Award, and Screen Actors Guild nominations for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, his talents extend into publishing as a best-selling author. His book “Couplehood” sold over two million copies and reached the number one spot on The New York Times Best-seller List. The follow-up book “Babyhood” features his humorous trademark take on the adventures of being a first-time father, and also made The New York Times Best-seller List. Reiser’s latest work is titled “Familyhood.”

Remembered for notable performances in films such as “Diner,” “Bye, Bye Love,” “The Marrying Man,” “Aliens,” “One Night at McCool’s” and “Beverly Hills Cop” (I and II), Reiser more recently starred in two original movies for Showtime, “Strange Relations,” opposite Julie Walters, and Chazz Palminteri’s “Men vs. Women,” which also featured Joe Mantegna and Christine Lahti.

Reiser made his theatrical debut in 2003 in Woody Allen’s “Writer’s Block.” The evening of one-act comedies marked Mr. Allen’s first time out as a director for the stage.

In the fall of 2005, Reiser wrote, produced and starred in the feature film project, “The Thing About My Folks,” opposite Peter Falk, Olympia Dukakis and Elizabeth Perkins.

Most recently, he began co-writing songs with longtime friend, singer/songwriter Julia Fordham, and the result is a ten-song compilation with Fordham on vocals and Reiser on piano. The album, “Unusual Suspects,” was released in November 2010.

Simpson soon turned to acting with a leading role in Dukes of Hazzard (2005), the big screen remake of the popular television series. By the end of that same year, Simpson and Lachey filed for divorce. In 2006, she appeared opposite comedian Dane Cook in the comedy Employee of the Month and released her next album A Public Affair.

Returning to her love of country music, Simpson recorded Do You Know (2008). The album made it into the top five of Billboard’s album charts. She co-wrote many of the songs for the album, which featured a duet with Dolly Parton on the title track. In 2010, Simpson appeared on a reality show entitled Jessica Simpson: The Price of Beauty, which explored beauty treatments, fashions, and fads. She also released a holiday album, Happy Christmas that same year.
Recently, Simpson’s singing career has taken a backseat to her fashion empire. Her namesake line of clothing, accessories and shoes has become a very successful enterprise, generating roughly $750 million in sales in 2010. In 2012, Simpson returned to reality television with the designer competition Fashion Star hosted by Elle Macpherson.

Simpson and her fiancé Eric Johnson welcomed their first daughter, Maxwell Drew Johnson, born on May 1, 2012.

The album—his second as a solo artist after his enormous successes with Backstreet Boys—includes an impressive roster of producers.

An accomplished writer, producer and director, Nick created the short film “The Pendant” in 2010. He also directed the music video for “Just One Kiss.” Passionate about the health of the environment and the world’s oceans (as a water enthusiast who loves diving, waterskiing, boating and surfing), Nick continues to devote his time and celebrity toward the cause. He has worked with UNEP (the United Nations Environmental Program) and the International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN), and has even gone to Capitol Hill to lobby for environmental issues.

As a back-up singer for Bette, Melissa fulfilled her childhood fantasy of playing Carnegie Hall. Six months later, she had a recording contract, and went on to headline at Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall. Melissa and Kenny Loggins co-wrote the radio classic “Whenever I Call You Friend”, and her songs have been recorded by Barbra Streisand, Dusty Springfield, Alison Krauss, Roberta Flack, Johnny Mathis, Kathy Mattea, Peabo Bryson and Cleo Laine, among many others. Melissa was nominated for a Grammy in 1978 and 1979 and received the Grammy Award in 1982 for Best Female Vocalist.

In 1980 she became the first artist in the history of the Academy Awards to have two nominated movie themes in a given year. Melissa has combined her acting and singing talents in starring roles in Andrew Lloyd Weber’s Song And Dance and Music Of The Night, and in a recurring role in the hit television series Blossom. She worked again with Bette Midler, costarring in the film For The Boys, released by 20th Century Fox.

Melissa returned to the stage when she co-starred with Kelsey Grammer, in Stephen Sondheim’s musical masterpiece Sweeney Todd at The Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles, and she most recently starred in the Chicago premiere of HATS!, a new musical that contains several songs she co-wrote with Sharon Vaughn.

She also composed for Disney’s The Great Mouse Detective, co- wrote the score for Lady And The Tramp II, and she released her sixteenth CD. Melissa Manchester recently received the Governor’s Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences for her contributions to the music and recording arts, and her body of work to date as a singer/songwriter was a featured exhibit at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum.

At the age of 16, she was singing in her first group, the Three Debs. By the late ’50s, Stevens had co-launched a singing and acting career, signing with Warner Bros. and issuing her debut album, Conchetta, in 1958 and acting in several movies and TV series (Young and Dangerous, Rock-a-Bye Baby, etc.). Stevens continued on with her musical career throughout the ’60s, landing two big hit singles — a duet with actor Ed “Kookie” Burns on “Kookie Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb)” and the number one 1961 hit “Sixteen Reasons”; but it was her role as Cricket Blake in the popular TV series Hawaiian Eye that made Stevens famous. It was also during the ’60s that Stevens married singer Eddie Fisher, and although the marriage would only last two years (from 1967 through 1969), Stevens and Fisher would have two daughters together, future actress Joely Fisher and future actress/singer Tricia Leigh Fisher.

Stevens stopped issuing recordings in the mid-’60s (after issuing such further albums as From Me to You, The Hank Williams Song Book, and As Cricket), and focused primarily on acting, starring in such movies as Grease 2, Back to the Beach, and Tapeheads, among countless others. In addition, Stevens has developed her own cosmetic skin care product line, Forever Spring, and in the late ’90s, she opened the Connie Stevens Garden Sanctuary Executive Day Spa in Los Angeles, CA. Stevens has also founded the Windfeather project, which awards scholarships to Native American Indians. In 1991, she was awarded the Lady of Humanities Award from the Shriners Hospital and Humanitarian of the Year by the Sons of Italy in Washington. In 1994, Stevens issued her first recording in quite a few years, Tradition: A Family at Christmas, along with both her daughters.

During his time in recovery, a nurse asked him to speak to a burn patient, who had just seen his body for the first time and had become withdrawn. After an approximate 45-minute visit, the patient opened the curtain letting light in his room and his heart. Since then, J.R. has become a highly sought-after motivational speaker, traveling the country to spread his message of resilience and optimism.
In October 2008, J.R. stepped into another role, when he was cast as combat veteran Brot Monroe on ABC’ s Emmy® Award-winning daytime drama All My Children.

In 2011, J.R. was cast on Dancing With the Stars and partnered with Karina Smirnoff to win the coveted mirror ball trophy.

In May of 2012, J.R. and his girlfriend Diana Gonzales-Jones welcomed a baby daughter, Lauryn Annabelle.

Today, J.R. is working on a book due out October 30, 2012, and he continues to balance his speaking engagements, along with his extensive charity work. While J.R.’s experience was certainly life-changing, amazingly he claims this is actually a change for the better. He has discovered it is what is inside a person that matters most and devotes himself to showing others the true value in making the most of every situation. “I wouldn’t change anything…absolutely anything!” J.R. says. “I do believe everything happens for a reason, and I’m extremely grateful for that day because it led me into this life!”

During his studies at the University of Westminster and at the Bartlett School of Architecture, Cameron developed a passion in social, cultural, and humanitarian design. His resulting postgraduate thesis focused on providing shelter to New York’s homeless through sustainable, transitional housing.

Collaborating with Kate Stohr, they co-founded Architecture for Humanity, a non-profit that helps architects apply their design skills to humanitarian efforts. Starting with just $700 and a simple web site in 1999, AFH has grown into an international hub for humanitarian design, offering innovative design solutions to humanitarian crises and communities in need in all corners of the globe.

For nine years, Architecture for Humanity has made a difference by working in twenty-six countries on projects ranging from school, health clinics, affordable housing and long term sustainable reconstruction. AFH’s work has included building clinics in Sub-Saharan Africa, community centers in South East Asia and the rebuilding effort after Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 South Asia Tsunami.

In 2004, Fortune Magazine named Cameron Sinclair as one of the Aspen Seven, seven people changing the world for better. He was the recipient of the 2006 TED prize and the 2005 RISD/Target Emerging Designer of the Year. In 2008, he was selected as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, and awarded the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award for his work in elevating design in areas of need. That same year he was profiled alongside Cameron Diaz in the show ICONOCLASTS on the Sundance Channel and was named as one of CNN’s Principal Voices.
