Natalie Jane
Imbruglia
 Born
as second of the four daughters to an Italian (Sicilian) (Messinese)
father and an Australian mother, Imbruglia grew up on the
Central Coast, north of Sydney. Imbruglia studied ballet, tap,
and highland dancing as a child, hoping to make a career out of
it. She also sang in shopping malls and in school performances.
At 14 her dance instructor encouraged her to sing with an all
girl group but once at the audition, the managers saw that the
strikingly pretty youngster with a beautiful voice could make it
on her own. They wanted to sign her as a solo act but she
refused. "They were like 'we're going to make you a star...'
Even at that age you couldn't talk to me like that. I was like 'see
you later..'".
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.
