Ten Stunning Hollywood Star Transformations
By fourformom | Leave A Comment
From humble beginnings as Paris Hilton’s disheveled drug using side-kick (okay, and Lionel Richie’s daughter), Richie has transformed herself into a successful designer, author, mother, style icon and philanthropist.
Jennifer Hudson arrived on the public scene in 2004 via the American Idol stage and although her sultry voice didn’t win that season, two years later she took home an Oscar for her role in Dreamgirls. Since then she has suffered the loss of her mother, brother and nephew, gave birth to her first child and lost nearly 80 lbs. as the new spokesperson for Weight Watchers. Her second studio album just release in March and debuted at #2 on Billboard.
Kelly Osbourne, daughter of Ozzy and Sharon, once known for her foul-mouthed, bratty teenage antics, has emerged as a svelte, poised and compassionate young woman. In 2009, she released her first book, Fierce and currently she is the face of Madonna and her daughter’s clothing line, Material Girl.
Those of us lucky enough to be teenagers in the 90s will remember him as Marky Mark (of the Funky Bunch) and the iconic Calvin Klein underwear model. But Wahlberg is not all sexy abs and pop-rap – he has become an acclaimed actor and producer. He starred in and produced 2010’s Academy Award-nominated The Fighter and he is rumored to be re-teaming with The Other Guys co-star, Will Ferrell for a new comedy.
Tyra Banks began modeling as a teen and rose to fame as a runway model, as well as becoming the first African American woman to land the cover shot of the Victoria’s Secret Catalog. She created the successful reality show America’s Next Top Model which begins it’s 17th cycle this Fall. Her latest project is a new beauty and fashion website (www.typeF.com) that celebrates individuality in women.
Jamie Foxx began his career as a stand-up comedian and landed a roll on the popular 90s show, In Living Color, but as certainly continued to grow as an entertainer. He won the Academy Award in 2004 for the critically acclaimed film Ray. And he is also a successful recording artist. Don’t forget to check out his Foxxhole Radio show on Sirius and XM radio.
From a beginning on Star Search and The Disney Channel she has risen to superstardom while also continuing to reinvent her style and sound. After a bit of a rocky personal life as of late, she is finding renewed success as a judge on NBC’s new show The Voice.
Another star who made a start on Star Search and The Disney Channel, Timberlake made the leap from boy band front man and Britney spears’ boyfriend to mega star and style icon and he did it with class. He has multiple Grammy awards as well as two Emmy’s and has become quite an enjoyable actor to watch (or hear in the case of the Shrek series).
Well-known for her role as Rebecca on the hit show, Cheers, she has been no stranger to the tabloids for her weight gain and loss (and gain), but she is looking better than ever thanks to a run on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars.
Jenny from the Block began her career as a dancer – who could forget her as a Fly Girl on In Living Color. She saw great success with her role as Selena and after that cranked out album after album that topped the charts and sold billions worldwide. She stayed out of the limelight for a bit after having twins with husband Marc Anthony but came back better than ever as a judge on season 10 of American Idol.
