Johansson grew up in a household with "little money", and with a mother who was a "film buff". ^]She and her twin brother attended P.S. 41 in the upper-middle-class Greenwich Village neighborhood, in Manhattan, for elementary school. Johansson began her theatrical training by attending and graduating from Professional Children's School in Manhattan in 2002.

Acting carrer (early roles):

Johansson began acting during childhood, after her mother started taking her to auditions. She would audition for commercials but took rejection so hard her mother began limiting her to film tryouts. She made her film debut at the age of 9, as John Ritter's daughter in the 1994 fantasy comedy, North. Following minor roles in the 1995 film Just Cause, as the daughter of Sean Connery and Kate Capshaw, and If Lucy Fell in 1996, she played the role of Amanda in Manny & Lo (1996). Her performance in Manny & Lo garnered a nomination for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Lead Female, and positive reviews, one noting, "[the film] grows on you, largely because of the charm of ... Scarlett Johansson", while San Francisco Chronicle critic Mick Lasalle commentated on her "peaceful aura", and wrote, "If she can get through puberty with that aura undisturbed, she could become an important actress."

After appearing in minor roles in Fall and Home Alone 3 in 1997, Johansson garnered widely spread attention for her performance in the 1998 film The Horse Whisperer, directed by Robert Redford. She received a nomination for the Chicago Film Critics Association Award for Most Promising Actress for the film.^] In 1999, she appeared in My Brother the Pig and in 2001 in the neo-noir Coen brothers film The Man Who Wasn't There. Also in 1999, she appeared in the music video for Mandy Moore's single, "Candy". Although the film was not a box office success, she received praise for her break-out role in Ghost World (2001). Credited with "sensitivity and talent [that] belie her age". In 2002, she appeared in Eight Legged Freaks with David Arquette.

Johansson at the premiere of Girl with a Pearl Earring at Toronto International Film Festival in 2003. Johansson made the transition from teen roles to adult roles, with two roles in 2003. In the Sofia Coppola film Lost in Translation, she played Charlotte, a listless and lonely young wife, opposite Bill Murray. Roger Ebert wrote that he loved the film and described the performances of Johansson and Murray as "wonderful. Entertainment Weekly wrote of Johansson's "embracing, restful serenity, and the New York Times said, "At 18, the actress gets away with playing a 25-year-old woman by using her husky voice to test the level of acidity in the air ... Ms. Johansson is not nearly as accomplished a performer as Mr. Murray, but Ms. Coppola gets around this by using Charlotte's simplicity and curiosity as keys to her character." Johansson won the BAFTA Award and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. She received nominations from a number of film critic organizations, including the Broadcast Film Critics Association, and the Chicago Film Critics Association,

At age 18, Johansson played Griet in Peter Webber's Girl with a Pearl Earring. While noting, "Audiences feel as if they are spying on a moment of artistic inspiration when painter Vermeer creates the title work", USA Today praised her, suggesting, "She is having a banner year that Oscar voters should recognize.” In his review for the New Yorker, Anthony Lane said, "What keeps Webber's movie alive is the tenseness of the setup ... and, above all, the presence of Johansson. She is often wordless and close to plain onscreen, but wait for the ardor with which she can summon a closeup and bloom under its gaze; this is her film, not Vermeer's, all the way. Owen Gleiberman, for Entertainment Weekly, wrote of her "nearly silent performance", observing, "The interplay on her face of fear, ignorance, curiosity, and sex is intensely dramatic. She was nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama and the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. She was nominated by the London Film Critics' Circle, the Phoenix Film Critics Society.

Brazilian Model Claudia Alende

Cloudia Alende is a model and host. She was born on 9 October 1993 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. She rose to fame as a Brazilian Megan Fox. She gain huge popularity for her Instagram account where  she has more than 2.5 million followers.

Cloudia Alende is 5 feet 4 inches approx. Her measurement is 36-25-38 inches.

In 2014, twenty seven women were in competition to be named Miss Bum Bum Brazil, and take away the title of ‘best backside in the country.’ The eventual winner, by quite a landslide, turned out to be 20-year old Paraná resident, Claudia Alende. With her unbelievably firm glutes, Miss Alende has since been dubbed the Brazilian Mega Fox and Queen of the Squat.

She currently lives in Sao Paulo, and works as a successful fitness and glamour model. According to Alende herself, she was never a fan of taking racy pictures before entering the completion, but has since made a career out of public interest in her best asset. In fact, she recently made headlines all around the world after recreating those epic Kim Kardashian shots for Paper magazine.

Whilst Kimmy K may have broken the internet first, Alende has made it hotter than ever, with a series of light-hearted replica photos. She can be seen recreating the now infamous Kardashian champagne glass pose, with the glass balanced on her rear and a comically surprised expression. Unlike Kim, however, Alende is no longer afraid to get up close and personal with the camera.

For her pictures, the clothes came all the way off immediately, and with her bronzed skin covered in tan lines, Alende looked every bit the Brazilian beach goddess. And like Kim, she even employed her own ‘bum bum oiler’ to make sure that her award winning backside got the treatment that it deserves.

Claudia Alende

Now 21-year old model has been compared to Hollywood superstar Megan Fox on more than one occasion, but she does not see the resemblance. Whilst it is true that the pair share dark tresses and blue eyes, Alende favors the curvier side of life, and surely would not have become the Brazilian Bum Bum Queen if she was as svelte as Fox.

As for social media, Alende is active on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter here, but is more used to posting cosy at home snaps than the type of pictures she takes at hot and heavy photo shoots. If you choose to follow this raved haired temptress, you will be treated to a glimpse of normality, because she treasures time spent with her boyfriend, going out to eat, and snapping selfies in front of the mirror.

If anything, Alende is refreshingly normal, and this is something which tends not to be associated with many high profile models. In Brazil, certainly, there are many misconceptions about professional models – members of the public assume that they are always ‘on duty,’ and always concerned with nothing but looking their best.  For more information on this type of modeling check out Brazilian Bikini Modeling.

Fortunately, even Miss Bum Bum Brazil enjoys her downtime, and is not about to let fame go to her head. For now, she seems to be happy with having the finest derriere in the country, driving scores of men wild with delightfully sexy photo shoots, and just being Claudia Alende when she gets home afterwards. Yet, perhaps Kim Kardashian should watch out, what with the Queen of the Squat gunning for her crown.

Milena Markovna "Mila" Kunis born on August 14, 1983. She is an American actress. In 1991, at the age of seven, she moved from the Ukrainian SSR to Los Angeles with her family. After being enrolled in acting classes as an after-school activity, she was soon discovered by an agent. She appeared in several television series and commercials, before acquiring her first significant role prior to her 15th birthday, playing Jackie Burkhart on the television series That '70s Show. Since 1999, she has voiced Meg Griffin on the animated series Family Guy.

Her breakout film role came in 2008, playing Rachel Jansen in the romantic comedy-drama Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Subsequent film roles included Mona Sax in the neo-noir action film Max Payne (2008), Solara in the post-apocalyptic neo-Western and action film The Book of Eli (2010), Jamie in the romantic comedy Friends with Benefits (2011), Lori in the comedy Ted(2012), and the Wicked Witch of the West, Theodora, in the fantasy adventure film Oz the Great and Powerful (2013).

Early Life and Education:

Kunis was born in Chernivtsi, in the Ukrainian SSR (now Ukraine). Her mother, Elvira, is a physics teacher who runs a pharmacy, and her father, Mark Kunis, is a mechanical engineer who works as a cab driver. Kunis has an elder brother named Michael (born c. 1976). She stated in 2011 that her parents had "amazing jobs", and that the family was "very lucky" and "not poor"; they had decided to leave the USSR because they saw "no future" there for Kunis and her brother. In 1991, when she was seven years old, her family moved to Los Angeles, California, with $250. "That was all we were allowed to take with us. My parents had given up good jobs and degrees, which were not transferable. We arrived in New York on a Wednesday and by Friday morning my brother and I were at school in LA."

Kunis comes from a Jewish family and has cited antisemitism in the former Soviet Union as one of several reasons for her family's move to the United States. She has stated that her parents "raised [her] Jewish as much as they could," although religion was suppressed in the Soviet Union. On her second day in Los Angeles, Kunis was enrolled at Rosewood Elementary School, not knowing a word of English. She later recalled: "I blocked out second grade completely. I have no recollection of it. I always talk to my mom and my grandma about it. It was because I cried every day. I didn't understand the culture. I didn't understand the people. I didn't understand the language. My first sentence of my essay to get into college was like, 'Imagine being blind and deaf at age seven.' And that's kind of what it felt like moving to the States.

Career beginnings and television work: (1994–2000)

At age nine, Kunis was enrolled by her father in acting classes after school at the Beverly Hills Studios, where she met Susan Curtis, who would become her manager. On her first audition she landed the role for a Barbie commercial. Shortly after, she did a commercial for the Lisa Frank product line. Her first television roles took place in 1994, first appearing on Days of Our Lives and a few months later doing her first of two appearances on Baywatch. She had a minor role on 7th Heaven  and supporting roles in Santa with Muscles, Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves, and the Angelina Jolie film Gia, as the young Gia Carangi

At the age of 10, Kunis auditioned for but failed to get the role of a Russian Jewish girl who moves to America in the filmMake a Wish, Molly. Instead, she was cast in the secondary role of a Mexican girl. In 1998, Kunis was cast as Jackie Burkhart in the Fox sitcom that '70s Show. All who auditioned were required to be at least 18 years old; Kunis, who was 14 at the time, told the casting directors she would be 18 but did not say when. Though they eventually figured it out, the producers still thought Kunis was the best fit for the role. That '70s Show ran for eight seasons. She won two consecutive Young Star Awards as Best Young Actress in a Comedy TV Series in 1999 and 2000 for her performances.

In 1999, Kunis replaced Lacey Chabert in the role of Meg Griffin on the animated sitcom Family Guy, created by Seth Mac Farlane for Fox. Kunis won the role after auditions and a slight rewrite of the character, in part due to her performance on that '70s Show.  Mac Farlane called Kunis back after her first audition, instructing her to speak slower, and then told her to come back another time and enunciate more. Upon claiming that she had mastered these speech particulars, MacFarlane hired her. Mac Farlane added: "What Mila Kunis brought to it was in a lot of ways, I thought, almost more right for the character. I say that Lacey did a phenomenal job, but there was something about Mila – something very natural about Mila. She was 15 when she started, so you were listening to a 15-year-old. Oftentimes with animation they'll have adult actors doing the voices of teenagers and they always sound like Saturday morning voices. They sound oftentimes very forced. She had a very natural quality to Meg that really made what we did with that character kind of really work." Kunis was nominated for an Annie Award in the category of Voice Acting in an Animated Television Production in 2007. She also voiced Meg in the Family Guy Video Game!. Kunis described her character as "the scapegoat."

The controversy raised concerns about the glorification of young girls within the fashion, beauty, and entertainment industries. Some media outlets[according to whom] claimed her Dolly shoot (including images of a 14-year-old Kerr in bathing suits) constituted a form of pedophilia[citation needed]. Of the press, Kerr said: "In the media at the time they were trying to cling on to anything remotely to do with pedophilia. Dolly is a magazine for teenage girls, not for old men.
