Ashton Kutcher

Ashton Kutcher left the University of Iowa in the late ‘90s to try his luck in the modeling industry. After a brief stint as a fresh face, he emerged as Michael Kelso in 1998 on the hit television series That ‘70s Show. The show made Kelso a household name, and success struck again when Kutcher teamed up with Sean William Scott in 2000 to make the comedy Dude, Where’s My Car? The film raked in good money at the box office, but Kutcher soon returned to television to continue working on That ‘70s Show and to cocreate, produce and host one of pop culture’s most guilty pleasures: MTVs reality-prank series Punk’d.

In 2004, Kutcher received the Kid’s Choice Award for Favorite Television Actor for his work on That ‘70s Show and Punk’d -- the two series he will always be indebted to for making him a star.

Behind the scenes Kutcher seems a completely different person when he’s not in front of the camera. Along with wife Demi Moore, he is a devoted follower of Jewish mysticism in the form of Kabbalah. As a dedicated stepfather and devout practitioner of Kabbalah, Ashton Kutcher displays his serious and softer sides away from the world of entertainment.

Apart from acting and producing, Ashton is also a serious business man, having invested in many popular, well-publicized Los Angeles-based restaurants, including the Italian eatery Dolce and the Japanese-themed Geisha House.

And while many of his endeavors involve raking in money, he’s also generous enough to give it back where it’s deserved. In September 2006, the star promised to donate $1 to Habitat to Humanity for each of the first 50,000 MySpace users to become a friend on his page.

On the horizonIn 2006, Ashton Kutcher wrapped up his work with Kevin Costner in The Guardian and left his mark in animation with Open Season. It was also announced in 2006 that he is set to executive produce two new television series: Daisy Dooley Does Divorce and "For Pete’s Sake." Never one to slack off, he will continue to serve as executive producer to the reality series Beauty and the Geek.

Tom Brady

Tom Brady is one of the top quarterbacks in the National Football League and with three championships with the New England Patriots under his belt he is prepping a resume for the Hall of Fame. Brady has twice been named the Super Bowl MVP in his four appearances. He acts, plays and looks like a winner and garners a lot of attention on and off the field. In 2002, Brady was one of People magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People and in 2005 he was named Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated.

Off the field, Brady has made a few TV appearances on NFL Monday Night Football, Saturday Night Live, Late Show with David Letterman, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and he made a cameo as a computer geek in the movie Stuck On You.

As a celebrity himself, Brady’s handsome farm-boy charm has attracted the attention of a number of celebrity women, such as Tara Reid, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, and Bridget Moynahan.

Behind the scenesBorn in San Mateo, California in 1977, Brady is a genuine, all-American nice guy in a sport built on tough and rough men. He is reportedly a person who treats everyone with respect and he is never arrogant. Proving that being a star quarterback doesn’t grant you the privilege to slack off, Tom is the first to arrive in the locker room and the last to leave.

Although Tom doesn’t have his own charity, he has contributed to those of his teammates, such as Lawyer Milloy, Joe Andruzzi and Lonie Paxton’s Active Force Foundation, which engineers, designs and provides adaptive sports equipment to people with physical disabilities. In addition to working with the Starlight Children’s Foundation of New England, Tom is the two-millionth member of the ONE Campaign -- an international movement to make poverty history and dedicated to encouraging Americans to lobby Congress for a 1% budget increase in humanitarian aid to the developing world.

On the horizon On a professional level, Brady continues to strive toward another Super Bowl. His head coach, Bill Belichick, keeps him focused on the future, leaving his three championship rings as a memory to enjoy during the off-season. At the rate Brady is going, an induction into Pro Football Hall of Fame is likely on the horizon.

On a personal level, Brady is not married and that figures to also be a pursuit considering his strong Roman Catholic roots.

Jeremy Piven

Jeremy Piven


What he is known for? One of television’s most likable bad boys, Jeremy Piven shot to fame in 2004 as Entourage’s foul-mouthed super agent, Ari Gold. The dream role has since garnered this veteran stage actor a coveted Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Prior to hanging with Vince and his crew, Piven chewed up the scenery in dozens of big-screen hits including PCU (1994), Grosse Pointe Blank (1997), Black Hawk Down (2001), and Old School (2003).

Behind the scenesJeremy Piven is a firm believer that a man shouldn’t be defined by his job alone. "We all have so many different elements inside of us and we're not all one thing," he says. So when he isn’t in front of the camera this multitalented thespian enjoys letting loose on his extensive collection of drum kits, congas and bongos. "I love to play the drums,” he says. “I probably would have been a drummer if acting hadn't come along." A fan of Keith Moon, Piven hopes to one day combine his two passions by filming a biopic about the infamous Who drummer.

Aside from his rock-star aspirations, Piven is notorious for making headlines for rebellious antics. There was the rumored nightclub brawl he had with Stephen Dorff earlier this year, then there was the incident at the Chicago Cubs baseball game where Cubs executives had to issue a public apology after Piven yelled out "Let's hug it out, you little b**ches!" to the crowd. It’s this no-holds-barred, fun-loving attitude that skyrockets Piven to the top of the coolness ranks.

On the horizonLook for Piven to be positively everywhere in 2007. In addition to stealing scenes in Entourage, this native New Yorker is also set to star in the big-screen comedy Smokin’ Aces with Ben Affleck, and the intense thriller The Kingdom with Jamie Foxx and
