Monica Belluci
 Bellucci
was born in Città di Castello, Umbria, Italy, the daughter of
Maria Gustinelli, a painter, and Luigi Bellucci, who owned a
trucking company. Bellucci started modelling at 16, when she was
attending to the Liceo Classico. Initially pursuing a career as
a lawyer, by modeling Bellucci helped finance her tuition while
at the University of Perugia, but the glamorous lifestyle
tempted Monica away from her law studies. She speaks Italian,
French, and English fluently and has acted in each of these
languages, as well as Aramaic.
Bellucci is married to fellow actor Vincent Cassel, with whom
she has appeared in several films and had a daughter, named Deva
(born September 12, 2004). In 2004, while pregnant with her
daughter, Bellucci posed nude for the Italian Vanity Fair
Magazine in protest against Italian laws that allow only married
couples to use in-vitro fertilization and that prevent the use
of donor sperm.
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.
