Default Model: Jaqueline Summers

Jaqueline Summers is an Australian model who as a teenager spent some time living on the streets in Woodridge and Crestmead in Brisbane. She states that ran away from home at the age of 15 and had to be brought back by the police. Perhaps unsurprisingly aged 17 Ms Summers fell pregnant and had a son. He was later diagnosed with leukaemia, but he survived and she also has had another son.

Her mother paid for her to attend beauty courses and she is or was the owner of owner of 'Xotic Hair and Beauty', a hair and make-up company based in Logan Queensland, specialising in models. She built up the company to do the hair and make-up at the Pl*yboy Mansion in the USA, and she flew to LA every four to six weeks where she was the only authorised Australian hair and make-up artist.

Oops:

As you might expect, she had ambitions to get a Pl*yboy cover and centrefold under her belt, and they gave her the cover and her spread on Pl*yboy Slovakia ... possibly based upon the unfeasibly large size of her boobs. She probably doesn't think of that as an oops ....

... but after giving magazine interviews on how she had made it from the streets to the top, things started to go a bit pete tong.

It appears that all was maybe not as it had been portrayed in those interviews. A former employee, alleges that not only had she closed down the business in September 2014, and made them all redundant to pursue her dream of working for Hugh Hefner in the Pl*yboy Mansion. But that she had used their wages to do it, leaving them short tens of thousands of dollars in wages and superannuation. She claimed that she alone is owed a total of Aus $10,000.

The landlord of the commercial property leased to 'Xotic Hair and Beauty', has also claimed that he is owed $30,250 in unpaid rent.

When challenged by TV news crews in Australia about the claims, Ms Summers denied the accusations levelled against her by former employees, and has labelled the claims 'bitterness and jealousy on a whole new level', .... she added that "You have the nerve to ask me that after all the defamation you are engaged in against me!"

Just to make sure that her position was clear ... she also accused her former staff members of lying and stealing money from her business.

"Why do staff steal? Why do staff give away free services?" she told Australian programme 'A Current Affair.' Ms Summers claims she has security vision of staff stealing from the till. Needless to say, her ex staff deny the accusations. Ms Summers has left Australia and is living in the US, while her former employees wait for a response from the 'Fair Work Ombudsman' and the 'Australian Tax Office' .... so watch this space.

Pictures:

She has no thread, and pictures are fairly scarce as her name brings up other models ... a few illustrative pictures taken straight off the web. Any follow up pictures or biographical content, that's not relevant to this thread i.e. accompanying more stories, should be posted elsewhere. This is not a fan thread, so fan pictures should not be posted in this thread ~ although if anyone has her nude PB set, post it up! But anything else is not really sticking to the rules and spirit of those rules, so please don't post them and spoil the thread for everyone else

Default TV Presenter : Ann Salter

At one time Ms Ann Salter claimed she was something of a rising TV presenter in the world of UK media .... having left education, she began in regional news television working for six years as a “live” on-location hard news reporter researching and reporting on current affairs, travel and sport. She eventually had a CV which boasted that she had been an anchor on Setanta Sports News, and covered motorsports for Channel 5, as well being published in the Daily Mail and the Daily Express. She also claimed she had worked for the BBC as a presenter on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, and BBC Radio 5 Live, as well fashion shows and helped host car launches in Cannes.

In fact such was the extent of her career claims that I am really surprised that none of you will have heard of her .... here's some more reminders.
  • 2006/8 - Singlemalt.TV - International live/location reporter for US Based whisky, lifestyle, travel show
  • 2005/7 - Pharma.tv - Lead presenter for International business, financial, scientific & pharmaceutical show
  • 2007 - Sky TV - The Travel Channel Location and studio reporter
  • 2008 - Setanta Sports News - News anchor for live sports news
  • 2009 - Channel 5 - Lead live presenter ... Motors TV Rally Open Cross Championship
What, still nothing?

Ah such is fame these days ... here one minute and gone the next .... the big work seemed to dry up then, but she still had the occasional IB Times gigs going on. Of course these girls can never let go of that faint hope that its going to all turn around ...... but in the meantime a girls gotta eat.

Oops:

It appears that while she had been trying to get that permanent job on one of the main channels, she had also been claiming to be too depressed to work, and claiming state welfare benefits, she was also living with a partner while claiming these benefits ... the first claims starting way back in 2004/05.

However she was still fishing for that TV breakthrough, so she was posting her 'CV' online .... this included an online show-reel as part of the CV, which included footage of her presenting for the International Business Times.

The UK Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) launched an investigation and found that while working as a broadcaster she had also been fraudulently claiming £30,127.91 in housing benefits, £28,126.90 income support and £7,224.15 in council tax benefit. Strangely it was reported in some sources that there was no suggestion that any of the work featured on her CV was done while she was claiming benefits, but this seems to be because it is unclear what work she was carrying out while on benefits, but she pleaded guilty to whatever they proved and charged her with.

Still fame (even as minor as hers), has its perks, and so what would have put a council estate girl away to prison, in January 2015 only resulted in a 12-month suspended sentence, 200 hours unpaid work and she was ordered to pay £5,000 in costs. This after she pleaded guilty at Guildford Crown Court to the £65,478.95 fraud which began in 2004/05, and after she produced letters of good character .... she has since paid back the money, borrowing cash from family, and was planning to undertake voluntary work as a broadcaster ~ although as she has been dropped by her former employers, this may be difficult.

Oddly, many of those former employers she claimed to have worked for such as the BBC, denied she had done so ... they said she was never a presenter for it despite her claims that she worked for Woman's Hour on Radio 4 and Radio 5 Live, but said she may have contributed to show content in some way ..... you soon find who your friends are

Default Beauty Queen: Sheislane Hayalla

When I am not able to spend time researching other ladies, I can always rely on the ladies on the pageant circuit, who never fail to supply a post. This weeks offering is a lady with the exotic name of Sheislane Hayalla, whose antics went global. If she wasn't a minor celebrity before, she sure is now.

Who is she? Well according to the dozens of reports I had to read to glean some facts, she is aged 23 and both a model and a biology student who is 1.75m in height. She is also a resident of the Amazonia region of Brazil. She has had some limited successes on the pageant circuit, and she represented Brazil in the 2013 'Miss Globe International pageant', held in Baku, Azerbaijan, where she was named first runner-up. She also won other titles in 2013 and 2014. She has also had various modelling assignments in magazines such as the 'Paparazzo'.

Oops:

Her Oops came at this years 'Miss Amazon 2015' contest, where twelve women took part in this year’s final. Smiling and holding hands, the two finalists waited for the announcement of the result, but the winner was announced as a Ms Toledo, who had claimed her place in the final by triumphing in the local Miss Manaus beauty contest. Our heroine was the runner-up, and at first she forced herself to congratulate Ms Toledo, but that was about as long as the sportsmanship lasted. Then something seemed to snap, and she tore the sash and crown from the winning contestant. After successfully ripping the tiara off the winner’s head, Ms Hayalla threw it to the ground, and shouted insults at Toledo, before making her way to the stage exit.

Security staff rush to detain Hayalla as organizers retrieve the headband and put it back onto the 20-year-old winner's head. She then stopped, blew kisses to the crowd and waved from the end of the stage. This rude departure from the pageant was greeted with both cheers and screams from the excited crowd.

Video of Hayalla's reaction went viral on social networks and then was picked up by press worldwide (a loose count showed the story on numerous newspapers worldwide from the feminista leftie Guardian in the UK, to the New York Post, with all points in between) .... which tells you a lot about cat fights and beauty contests attractions.

She claimed afterwards that she isn't a bad loser, and says it was the 20 yr old Toledo, who really stole the crown. "In Manaus money is the boss and I'm showing the people of Amazonas that money is not in charge here, she did not deserve it". She added that even before the event she knew she wouldn't be the winner and that TMs Toledo was given special privileges the other contestants didn't have.

"There were more prepared contestants (than the winner), and they do not regret what I did, because it was not against them, but against the coordination of the competition," she said. “I wanted something clean and honest.”

Afterwards, an incensed Ms Toledo said Ms Hayalla would "face justice" for her allegations. "I got the title by my effort, sacrifice... I sleep with a clear conscience," .... presumably meaning she had not slept with anyone else

In the aftermath, it wasn't clear if Ms Hayalla would still be official runner up or not .... but Internet users soon gave their verdict on events when some created memes showing Hayalla taking the crown from Queen Elizabeth II, and another showing Kanye West taking the microphone from Taylor Swift during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards with the caption, “Let go! This belongs to Sheislane.”

Quotes:

“I apologize if anyone didn’t like my attitude, but I really did what my heart told me to”

Default Model: Kiara Belen

Kiara Belen was born in Red Bank, New Jersey but raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. She claims to have had a difficult childhood, suffering from neglect and abuse, however she still went to the University of California, Irvine, studying Sociology in Education. She was also something of an athlete at University and she coached basketball in Las Vegas .... Her first break was as a guest in 'Mic Check Live: Ms. Lauryn Hill & Tyrese Gibson' in 2011 at the grand opening of the Gansevoort Park Avenue NYC hotel.

This seems to have been enough to get her selected to compete on the nineteenth cycle of 'America's Next Top Model' in 2012. Although she was not one of the early front-runners, but she stayed in long enough to win for her scholarship bank. She ended up as first runner up .... In November 2012 she took part in "Back at 1 : The Return Of the Worlds First Supermodel" partnered with Male Model Tosh Yanez. She was also featured on 'America's It Girl in 2014. She is now trying to become an actress ...

Oops:

It was reported that on the 11th of January 2014, she was arrested on a Saturday morning in Hollywood -- after she got a little too swervy on the road, and got busted for suspicion of driving drunk ... She was driving in Hollywood when an LAPD officer observed her driving erratically, and pulled her over ... The police officer administered a field sobriety test which she failed and she was taken to the police station, jailed and booked for suspicion of DUI ... someone bailed her out a few hours later.

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to Yahoo that Belen was arrested at around 4:30 a.m. on misdemeanour charges by its Hollywood division and taken into custody.

Trivia:

She is the oldest of seven children.

Default International Model: Ralitsa Ivanoca

Ralitsa Ivanoca (aka Rali Ivanova), has been modeling since 15 and still considers Bulgaria home but who is living in St. Petersburg, Florida, USA. She had moved to the USA aged 19 (those green cards are never a problem to get for the girls here i.e. models and dancers ... apparently), to pursue her dream to live in 'sunny Florida'. She was offered her first professional shoot for a calendar after she was 'spotted' having beach cocktails in Tampa.

Her big break (apart from somehow getting to the US), when she was contacted by the editor of Bulgarian Maxim who wanted to feature her in the November issue, 2009 and she has twice been featured as the cover model on Maxim magazine’s Bulgaria edition and she has since featued in magazines like Strobemagazine.com, Mixed, Vblazin, 305hip hop, American curves and many more. She is now apparently 'working on building and expanding her own brand' ... meaning her time as a model is probably over.

Oops:

She was arrested early on the morning of Wednesday the 18th of February 2015, and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, by an officer of the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office. He had been alerted to the possibilty that she was drunk by reports from fellow motorists in Hillsborough County, that her car was traveling the wrong direction on the roads.

He pulled her over in her black BMW at U.S. 41 and Sundance Lake Boulevard, near Connerton, when he saw her weaving and that she could not maintain a lane. He reported that her breath smelled strongly of alcohol, with 'watery' and 'bloodshot' eyes, and that she had difficulty maintaining her balance when she got out of her vehicle.

She then apparently told the sheriff’s deputy who pulled her over that she thought she was driving in Tampa and that she had lost her way, because she was texting while driving. She was actually heading due north instead of the due south she should have been heading.

Apart from the fact that this explanation didn't help matters, when she showed the deputy her phone in support of this eplanation, it included texts from someone advising her not to perform field sobriety tests, or to take a breath test .... helpful.

Unsurprisingly, When the police requested she take a breathalyser, she declined, but Police finally got her to take the sobriety test, at which she 'performed very poorly', and arrested her afterwards.

She was released from the 'Land O’ Lakes' Jail just after 1 p.m. Wednesday, jail records show. In jail records, she was listed as Ralitsa Ivanoca not her model name.

Trivia:

Billed as “the sexiest Bulgarian alive” by Esquire.com

Default Actress: Frances Farmer

Well, they say 'Never say Never' hmm .... Anyway bit of an odd (and lengthy) one this. Frances Elena Farmer was born in Seattle, Washington, USA. Her parents, who played a large part in later events, were Cora Lillian (née Van Ornum) and Ernest Melvin Farmer (a lawyer), but more of them later. She attended West Seattle High School and in 1931 she entered a writing contest sponsored by 'Scholastic Magazine', and won $100 with her essay "God Dies". She entered the University of Washington studying drama, and paid for much of costs by working as a cinema usherette, a waitress, a tutor, and a factory worker.

Winning a popularity contest also allowed her to visit Europe at an interesting time, so much so that she then won another trip, this time to the Soviet Union via a subscription contest for the leftist newspaper, 'The Voice of Action'. Accepting the prize, despite parental objections, was justified by her so that she could see the pioneering Moscow Art Theatre.

When returning from the Soviet Union in the summer of 1935, she stopped in New York City, hoping to launch a legitimate theatre career but an introduction to a Paramount Pictures talent scout led to a screen test and the offer of a seven-year contract. Her first movies were in 1936 and she had an interrupted TV and Film career stretching up to 1959 .. however most of this was movie content up until 1942 and TV work in 1958/9. Perhaps her most well known performances were as 'Calamity Jane' in the 1941 Western 'The Badlands of Dakota', and opposite Tyrone Power in the film 'Son of Fury' in 1942.

In 1937 she also turned her hand to theatre work with 'The Group' theatre production of 'Golden Boy', which became the biggest hit in the Group's history. By 1938, when the production had embarked on a national tour, and regional critics from Washington D.C. to Chicago gave her rave reviews. She had another two short Broadway runs.

She also was a singer, singing "The First Time I Saw You" in 'The toast of New York' in 1937 and wrote a book "Will There Really Be a Morning?" in 1983 which was made into a TV movie. After various low status jobs he made a brief comeback attempt, during which she denied ever being an alcoholic or taking drugs, which although reasonably well received, especially the 'Frances Farmer Presents' TV show, ended when she was sued her husband and independent broadcast promoter, for breach of contract. She spent her final years operating several small businesses, usually with her friend and part biographer Jean Ratcliffe ... they had their funds embezzled by the man who handled their investment portfolio.

She was married three times, all ended in divorce and died in 1970 of cancer.

Oops:

While on her theatre run she had an affair with the married playwright Clifford Odets, but he was using her. She then felt betrayed when Odets suddenly ended the relationship chose another actress for 'Golden Boy's' London run. She believed that believe that 'The Group' had used her celebrity drawing power just to further the success of the play.

By 1939, her temperamental work habits and 'independent nature' (She was notoriously foul tempered and had often refused to attend publicity parties, and photo shoots), and a worsening alcoholism, began to damage her reputation. In 1942 Paramount suspended her after she refused to accept a part in the film 'Take a Letter, Darling' and they eventually dropped her.

In October 1942 she was stopped by Santa Monica Police for driving with her headlights on bright, in the wartime blackout zone that affected most of the West Coast. Some reports stated that she was unable to produce a driver's license and was verbally abusive to the police i.e. drunk. The police arrested her and she was jailed overnight. She as fined $500 and given a 180-day suspended sentence but as she was able to pay $250 immediately and was simply put on probation. However she somehow 'forgot' to pay the rest of the fine and a bench warrant was issued for her arrest in January 1943.

Also in January 1943 a studio hairdresser filed an assault charge alleging that Farmer had dislocated her jaw on the set ... police tracked Farmer down to the 'Knickerbocker Hotel' in Hollywood. She didn't answer the door so they entered her room with a pass key where they either found her in bed or on the toilet but in either case disrobed, and made her dress quickly .... but all accounts state that "She did not surrender peacefully."

Things did not go in court the next day when she behaved erratically ... She claimed the police had violated her civil rights during her arrest, then demanded an attorney, and capped by throwing an inkwell at the judge. He immediately sentenced her to 180 days in jail ... however this just elicited another bout of bad behaviour and she managed to knock down a policeman, and bruise another, along with a court matron. Breaking free from the mayhem, she ran to a phone booth, where she tried to call her attorney, but was eventually subdued by the police. They physically carried her away as she shouted, "Have you ever had a broken heart?"

Perhaps not surprisingly the press had a field day with the reports of the events ... but her sister-in-law, a deputy sheriff in Los Angeles County, got her transferred to the psychiatric ward of L.A. General Hospital where she was diagnosed with "manic depressive psychosis" .... this may actually have been acute alcoholism.

However what may have originally been a desperate attempt to save her from the press backfired, as she was sent to a minimum-security facility, the Kimball Sanitarium in La Crescenta, where she was given insulin shock therapy. Her family later claimed they did not give their consent to the treatment, but she was held there for nine months before 'escaping' (well walking out), to her half-sister Rita's house. Her mother launched a lengthy legal battle to have guardianship of her daughter transferred to her, and although several psychiatrists testified that Farmer needed further treatment, her mother prevailed.

They fell out after a few months, fought, and Farmer physically attacked her mother, who had her committed again and she received electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) but after three months she was pronounced "completely cured" and released. But hey ho, the force was strong in this one .... while traveling with her father to visit an aunt's in Reno, Nevada, Farmer ran away. Hitchhiking led to her staying with a family who had picked her up ... but eventually she was arrested for vagrancy in Antioch, California. Despite many offers of help, she went back to her family, firstly to that aunt in Nevada (whom she had run away from visiting), then her mothers again ... guess what, they fell out again, and she was recommitted to Western State Hospital in May 1945 by her mother (who still had guardianship), and she remained there almost five years, with the exception of a brief parole in 1946. In 1953, at her own request, 10 years after the arrest at the Knickerbocker Hotel, a judge legally restored Farmer's competency and full civil rights.

In 1964, after a couple more DUI citations, and after she appeared apparently drunk on camera, mumbling “Frances Farmer prevents,” she lost her TV show.

She was arrested again in 1965, for drink driving after she crashed into a ditch. During the police interview she was abusive, threatening and drunk ... she later claimed she was so immersed in her role that she forgot she was Frances Farmer and acted like 'Claire Zachanassian' would have done. It didn't go down well with law enforcement officials.

Later Controversy:

Wild and lurid claims about Ms farmers treatment while in hospital emerged, but only after her death, mainly in her part written autobiography which was 'completed' by her friend 'Jean Ratcliffe', and in other biographies. These included stories of her being forced to eat her own faeces, and act as a sex slave for male doctors and orderlies, as well as other indignities. Given her fame, and the national press attention given to her ever since her first arrest, many suspect that these claims were added to her biography after her death e.g. The state asylum described as "unbearable terror: I was raped by orderlies, gnawed on by rats and poisoned by tainted food. I was chained in padded cells, strapped into strait-jackets and half-drowned in ice baths." .... admittedly mental health treatment was harsher in the 1940's, so while there is possibly an element of truth to these some of these claims, others seem ridiculous. Some, such as her 'partial lobotomy' were proved in court to have been totally "fictionalized". She herself never made any of these claims, despite many opportunities to make money by doing so, and indeed during her comeback seemed happy.

Quotes:

"I blame nobody for my fall... I think I have won the fight to control myself."
After her final performance as 'Claire Zachanassian' in 1965 was greeted with a standing ovation she said "my finest and final performance. I knew I would never need to act onstage again. I felt satisfied and rewarded."

Trivia:
  • Her essay "God Dies" was claimed to be a search for a "superfather" God and influenced by her reading of Friedrich Nietzsche: "He expressed the same doubts, only he said it in German: 'Gott ist tot' (God is dead)."
  • Her claim to be an agnostic bordering on atheist was shocking in the USA then (and even now in many quarters come to think of it).
  • Her trip to the Soviet Union fostered later speculations that Farmer was not only an atheist, but a Communist as well.
  • She was the subject of the biographical film Frances in 1982.
  • Many songs and bands have used her story as inspiration ... 'Nirvana','The Men They Couldn't Hang', 'Culture Club' and 'Everything But The Girl', 'Mylène Farmer', 'Patterson Hood' ... are just a few.
  • When she appeared on 'This Is Your Life' in 1952, Frances was given an 'Edsel' automobile.
  • Frances' sister, "Edith Farmer Elliot", self-published what is probably the most complete and authoritative biography of Frances currently available, "Look Back in Love" ... it includes no lurid claims.

Default TV Presenter: Oana Zavoranu

Oana Zavoranu (aka Oanei Zavoranu), is from Romania and said to be from a well off family background. She attended the National College Cargiale IL and she was at Maiorescu University in Bucharest, where she graduated with a law degree. After graduation in 2000, she won a casting audition to find a presenter for the show 'Summer 2' for the TVR 2 channel. In 2002 she was cast in the sitcom 'The Block', and in 2004 , appeared in the Italian film 'Modigliani', where she played 'Eugenia Modigliani'. By 2009 she was on Kanal D was moderator on the show 'pact with the devil', transmitted every Saturday.

She even broke into Romanian pop with her debut album, entitled 'Better than ever' ... She was married to and divorced the Romanian singer Pepe. 2009 seems to have been the high-water mark of her career ....

Oops:

In December 2012 she had been taken to hospital because, it seems, that she took a handful of drugs, which induced a coma. However she bounced right back, and in May 2014 she was reported to have been arrested.

She was accused of blackmailing her plastic surgeon, after she had threatened to reveal that her doctor was using state facilities for private breast implants, unless he performed her seventh breast enhancement job for free – and gave her £7,000 (€10,000). She even added that Romania’s ‘silicon mafia,’ (which she is obviously a major supporter of, or they support her), was channelling state funds meant for burn victims into cosmetic surgery. Her accusations had some ring of truth, as medical staff in Bucharest had been arrested for similar offences.

However her implant surgeon was not involved in any such scam, and quickly informed the police of her blackmail attempt. They set up a sting, and when she arrived at the practice, she was handed the £7000, and as she counted the money, she was immediately arrested.

‘She texted him to say that she was unhappy with her last boob job,’ said a police spokesman. ‘She claimed that the clinic was using funds meant for burns victims but we have no evidence of this.’

In December 2014 she managed to play her get out of jail card (literally one feels) by signing a public apology witnessed by a court mediator. The statement confirmed that all medical procedures carried by the surgeon were legal and of a high standard. She has nine months in which she has to apologize on three different national television shows. If she does not do this, she will be forced to pay damages to the doctor of a hundred thousand euros.

One report also said that. She’s had written the word ‘verified’ on her Twitter biography, despite failing to earn the official blue tick from the site. She has also posed for Pl*yboy to boost career interest .... however her choice of a vampire exorcism set, was described as scandalous in some quarters.

Trivia:
  • The English Google translation of her name is 'Cleopatra Stratan'

Default Actress : Jocelyn Lee

Jocelyn Lee (b.Mary Alice Simpson) in Chicago, Illinois, USA in 1902. She had left school and at first she had trod the boards as a chorus girl with the "George White Scandals" and the "Follies" from around 1919 onwards. She was spotted by a talent scout from the 'Famous Players-Lasky Corporation' in 1925, when she started working in silent movies.

However she transferred to 'Metropolitan Pictures Corporation of California' for her first credited role in 'Paris at Midnight' in 1926. She went on to have a career of about 24 credits playing mostly chorus girls and minor bad girls gone wrong. She was best known for 'Madame Q' in 1929, 'The Love Trap' in 1929, and 'Say It with Diamonds' in 1927.

She was married 3 and divorced 2 times Henry Lehrman (26 April 1921 - 16 December 1924) (divorced), Luther Reed (15 July 1930 - 3 April 1931) (divorced) and James Seymour (13 January 1935 - ?), and she passed away in 1980, aged 77 in New York City, New York, USA.

Oops:

Being a minor starlet didn't stop her having a few escapades:

She had a publicised affair with the married actor HB Warner which almost cost him the role of 'Jesus' in Cecil B. DeMille's silent film epic, 'The King of Kings' in 1927.

Her first two marriages were to film Directors ... One of whom Henry 'Pathe' Lehrman was the 'boyfriend' of actress Virginia Rappe, who died after a night of partying in a hotel room with Fatty Arbuckle. Luther Reed was not in any trouble ... Neither of Lee's divorces was a quiet affair, and only her third union, to movie executive James Seymour apparently finished the scrapes, but by then her career was already running down.

It was reported that Lee stole the leading man Richard Dix, from under the nose of his young co-star Mary Brian. Ms Brian had apparently fallen for him when he started escorting her around town, but her puppy love was brought to an abrupt end when she was then forced to listen to Lee and Dix's loud lovemaking in the next compartment all night.

She was arrested in 1931 according to the Herald Tribune, when following her divorce from the director Luther Reed she gate crashed a Hollywood party in May 1931 and was charged by police with disturbing the peace. The party host was the writer Ivan St John, with whom Luther Reed was staying following their divorce. According to their divorce settlement, Luther Reed had custody of the children for the weekend, and Ms Lee the rest of the time plus $100 pw alimony. However Ms Lee was insistent that she should present for the weekend occasion as well. When he disagreed in front of all the guests, Ms Lee proceeded to scratch the host, smash windows in the house, and put dent in the walls with the heel of her slipper. The police were called, and she was arrested and charged with disturbing the peace, after fleeing the scene.

Default Reality 'Star': Porsha Williams

Porsha Williams (aka Porsha Stewart) Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. She finished high school and later pursued a degree in business information technology at the American InterContinental University in Schaumburg, Illinois. While a child she appeared in music videos in pursuit of a potential career in the modelling industry.

She married football player Kordell Stewart after they met while she was employed at the Lucky Lounge food and nightclub in Atlanta, Georgia. The couple married in May 2011 in a ceremony, which was filmed and broadcast for the WEtv television series 'Platinum Weddings'. In September 2012, Bravo cast her for the fifth season of the reality television series 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta'.

After approx two years of marriage, Stewart filed for divorce from Williams in March 2013 which was finalised in December 2013. She also launched a line of haircare products and joined the cast of Burruss's stage musical 'A Mother's Love' and she released her debut single "Flatline" through the iTunes Store on March 17, 2014.

Oops:

She commented that she was "totally blindsided" by the divorce filing by her husband, and alleged that she learned of their separation through Twitter. Their divorce was finalised in December 2013, and she received none of his property or earnings through the settlement.

She had modelled for a "pin-up" calendar for the 'Atlanta Dymes' ... non nude 'butt model'.

She once indicated on TV that she believed that the 'Underground Railroad' that slaves took to escape to the North, was an actual railroad line. She later commented that "It was a brain lapse. I have Porsha moments that you’ve seen on the show before. For me seeing that I knew that I had to go back and brush up on my history so I’m representing my legacy well"

During the series of RHOA she had a series of run ins with Kenya Moore who is a somewhat bigger celebrity. These clashes culminated at a reunion show when Moore implied that Williams was unfaithful during her marriage; after Williams called Moore a "slut from the '90s" and Moore yelled that Williams was "a dumb ho" from a megaphone, Williams dragged Moore across the floor by her hair. Moore later threatened to quit the series if Williams was to remain, commenting that "we've become angry with each other, we've threatened each other and gone to the edge. But at the end of the day, we know there's a line." Ms Williams was arrested and coincidentally demoted to a part-time cast member on the Real Housewives of Atlanta for the seventh season ... Kenya Moore has complained that Porsha Williams has never apologised for physically attacking her.

On December 29, 2014 'Hollywood Life' reported that the she was busted for allegedly speeding, as well as driving on a suspended license driving for failure to appear. According to other sites, she was pulled over for driving 78 mph in a 55 mph zone, and was transported to the Atlanta City Jail. She was released the same day.

Trivia:
  • Her grandfather is the late civil rights activist Hosea Williams

Default Actress and Singer: Tamara Baroni

Jorge Borg and Fabrizio tipped me off on this one, Credit to both of them, I hardly had to do any research.

Tamara Baroni is from Parma, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. She was a contestant in the 1967 Miss Italy contest ,and won the 'Miss Elegance' section, and was a semi-finalist in the 1967 Miss World Contest. She then started a modeling career which didn't bring her instant fame. However like many girls in 1960's Italy, she had ambitions of becoming a film actress, and she appeared as a supporting actress (or extra), in several films during the late 1960's and early 1970's including "Vacanze sulla Costa Smeralda" in 1968 and Bruno Corbucci’s "Anselmo e il suo scudiero" in 1973.

But again she never made the breakthrough she hoped for in her eight film credits, and after being seen being escorted by several Italian industrialists, she became the mistress of the wealthy, and also married, glass maker Pierluigi Bormioli. After that affair inevitably ended, the force still burnt bright in this one, and she refused to just disappear, and she resumed her quest for fame. She became a singer, stage actress and even wrote 'poetry'. Today she lives in Natal, Brazil, and has released a book of poetry entitled "Sotto identiche cose" and an e-book "Tamara parmigiana detailing" recounting her turbulent life in the 1970s.

She has been married three times, and divorced twice, with her last marriage lasting over 25 years (until he died in a tragic accident), and she had three children.

Oops:

When she lost the Miss Italy contest, she was already allegedly the mother of a daughter, which of course would have disqualified her at the time if it had been known, because it was not permitted in these competitions until recently.

Her relationship with Bormioli apparently continued, even when she was in her second marriage, which added to the eventual scandal.

After a long relationship, Bormioli apparently tired of their affair, and tried to get rid of her by allegedly 'throwing her out of his car', and then telling her he never wanted to see her again. This not unnaturally enraged Ms Baroni, and so she went to the police and filed a complaint about the car incident, but also added a fabricated story that she and Bormioli had hired killers to murder his wife. She also stated that Pierluigi was a drug addict.

Although the story was heavily covered by the press, and followed by a scandalised catholic Italian public, her tale was not very convincing, with more holes in it than a Parma cheese, and she was repeatedly questioned by judges. Eventually, threatened with arrest, she finally confessed that she had made up the entire story. Well not the bit about being dumped out of a car and err, well, being dumped ... she stuck to that bit until, later when living in Brazil, where she recently stated she was paid to tell the story about Pierluigi Bormioli by her lawyer, and she was never thrown from a car ..... so just dumped then.

In all, she spent a month and a half in a Parma jail cell before being released ... she still claims that much of that time was in solitary confinement.
