John Travolta“The secret to a good and successful marriage is to not look for secret formulas,” laughed John Travolta when I spoke to him in Los Angeles way back in 1995.

After divorcing Gage in 1987, Preston began a relationship with actor Charlie Sheen. Sheen proposed Read more

Bradley0Thanks to recent box office hits like Yes Man, He’s Just Not That Into You and The Hangover, Pennsylvania native Bradley Cooper has been upping his way towards the Hollywood A-list.  His magnetic swagger, chiselled good looks and of course, his acting talent, is allowing the American to abandon his status as a supporting actor to bask in the limelight of a leading man.

Bradley Cooper was born on Jan. 5, 1975, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to an Italian-American mother and an Irish-American father. In 1997, having just completed an honours degree in English at Georgetown University, 22-year-old Cooper packed his bags and headed for the city so nice they named it twice.
