Mena Suvari
 Suvari
was born in Newport, Rhode Island to Ando Süvari, an Estonian
psychiatrist, and Candice, a Greek nurse. By the age of twelve,
Suvari was modeling; she starred in a Rice-a-Roni commercial by
the age of thirteen. Attended Providence High School, in Burbank,
California, class of 1997.
Suvari spent her early years in a stone mansion, built in 1870,
that she insists was haunted. She and her brothers saw several
apparitions over the years, all of which she believed were
friendly. The family later relocated to Charleston, South
Carolina, where her three older brothers lined up to attend the
Citadel. Mena, meanwhile, was entertaining dreams of becoming an
archaeologist, astronaut, or doctor, when a modeling agency
stopped by her all-girls school to offer classes. At age 12,
after receiving a few pointers on her runway strut, Suvari
attended a modeling convention and was snapped up by the New
York-based Wilhelmina agency.
Celebrity Big
Brother
Celebrity Big Brother 2007 was the fifth series of the United
Kingdom reality television series Celebrity Big Brother, a spin-off
of Big Brother. The series was broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK
(also on S4C in Wales), and involved a number of celebrities
referred to as 'housemates', who live in the Big Brother House
with no contact with the outside world. In recent series, the
show's producers have offered celebrities money to appear on
Celebrity Big Brother.
Celebrity Big Brother 2007 started on 3 January 2007, and ran
for 26 days. The launch show peaked at 8.2 million viewers,
making it the second most-watched launch in Big Brother history.
It was the first Celebrity Big Brother series to be shown in the
16:9 widescreen format and the final Celebrity series to be held
in the Elstree compound with the regular series later in the
year being the final one overall.
