Early lifeZeta-Jones was born Catherine Jones in Swansea, Wales, to Patricia (née Fair), an Irish seamstress, and David James Jones, a Welsh sweet factory owner. Her name stems from those of her grandmothers – her maternal grandmother, Catherine Fair, and her paternal grandmother, Zeta Jones. She now hyphenates her name as "Catherine Zeta-Jones", accepting the mistake by the American press early in her career.
After her parents won £100,000 at Housie in the 1980s, they moved to St Andrews Drive in Mayals, an upper middle class area of Swansea. Jones left the private Dumbarton House School early to further her acting ambitions without obtaining O levels. While at Dumbarton, she once had her lunch money stolen by fellow pupil Rob Brydon. She then attended The Arts Educational Schools in Chiswick, West London, for a full time three year course in musical theatre.
Career Early work, 1986–1995 Zeta-Jones' stage career began in childhood. She often performed at friends and family functions and was part of local dance troupe the Hazel Johnson School of Dance which rehearsed at St Alban's Church, Treboeth. Zeta-Jones made her professional acting debut when she played the lead in Annie, a production at Swansea Grand Theatre. When she was 14, Mickey Dolenz cast her as Tallulah in Bugsy Malone. In 1986, at age 17 she had a part in the chorus of The Pajama Game at the Haymarket Theatre, Leicester starring Paul Jones and Fiona Hendley. The show subsequently toured the UK and in 1987, she starred in 42nd Street as Peggy Sawyer at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. She was cast in the leading role after both the actress playing Peggy Sawyer and her understudy fell ill. She also played Mae Jones in the Kurt Weill opera Street Scene with the English National Opera at the London Coliseum Theatre in 1989. After the show closed, she travelled to France where she played the lead role in French director Philippe de Broca's Les 1001 Nuits, her feature film debut.
Her singing and dancing ability suggested a promising future but it was in a straight acting role as Mariette in the successful British television adaptation of H. E. Bates' The Darling Buds of May that brought her to public attention and made her a British tabloid darling. She briefly flirted with a musical career, beginning with a part in the 1992 album Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of Spartacus, from which the single "For All Time" was released in 1992. It reached #36 in the UK charts. She went on to release the singles "In the Arms of Love", "I Can't Help Myself", and a duet with David Essex "True Love Ways", reaching #38 in the UK singles chart in 1994. She also starred in an episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles as well as in Christopher Columbus: The Discovery.
In 1990, Zeta-Jones participated in a television commercial for the German Deutsche Bahn at the age of 21, playing the part of a young woman eloping with her lover from a joyless marriage, a role which apparently helped in promoting her acting career. She continued to find moderate success with a number of television projects, including The Return of the Native (1994) based on the novel of the same name and the mini-series Catherine the Great (1995). She also appeared in Splitting Heirs (1993), a comedy starring Eric Idle, Rick Moranis and John Cleese. In 1996, she was cast as the evil aviatrix Sala in the action film, The Phantom, based on the comic by Lee Falk. The following year, she co starred in the CBS mini-series Titanic, which also starred Peter Gallagher, Tim Curry and George C. Scott.
Career success, 1998–2003 Steven Spielberg, who noted her performance in the mini-series Titanic, recommended her to Martin Campbell, the director of The Mask of Zorro. Zeta-Jones subsequently landed a lead role in the film, alongside compatriot Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas. She learned dancing, riding, sword-fighting and took part in dialect classes to play her role as Elena. Commenting on her performance, Variety noted, "Zeta-Jones is bewitchingly lovely as the center of everyone's attention, and she throws herself into the often physical demands of her role with impressive grace." She won the Blockbuster Entertainment Award for Favorite Female Newcomer and received an Empire Award nomination for Best British Actress and a Saturn Award nomination for Best Actress.

Zeta-Jones at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival.In 1999, she co-starred with Sean Connery in the film Entrapment, and alongside Liam Neeson and Lili Taylor in The Haunting. The following year, she starred in the critically acclaimed Traffic with future husband Michael Douglas. Traffic earned praise from the press, with the critic for the Dallas Observer calling the movie "a remarkable achievement in filmmaking, a beautiful and brutal work". Zeta-Jones' performance earned her her first Golden Globe nomination, as Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture as well as many other nominations and acclaim.
She took the lead role of America's Sweethearts, a 2001 romantic comedy film which also starred Julia Roberts, Billy Crystal and John Cusack. The film received unfavorable reviews, with Los Angeles Weekly stating that the film "isn't just banal, it's aggressively, arrogantly banal." However, it was a hit at the box office grossing over $138 million worldwide. Her character in the film was Gwen Harrison who is a film star.
In 2002, Zeta-Jones continued her momentum and played murderous vaudevillian Velma Kelly in the film adaptation of the Broadway musical Chicago. Her performance was well received by critics; Seattle Post-Intelligencer stated, "Zeta-Jones makes a wonderfully statuesque and bitchy saloon goddess." Slate magazine also praised her performance, saying that she "has a smoldering confidence that takes your mind off her not – always – fluid dancing – although she's a perfectly fine hoofer, with majestic limbs and a commanding cleavage."
Chicago was a commercial success, grossing more than $306 million worldwide, and received universal acclaim. In 2003, Zeta-Jones garnered an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards, for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role and as a member of Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture for her performance. Also that year, she voiced Marina in the animated film Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas opposite Brad Pitt, as well as starring as serial divorcee Marilyn Rexroth in the black comedy Intolerable Cruelty with George Clooney.
 2004–presentIn 2004, she played air hostess Amelia Warren in The Terminal as well as Europol agent Isabel Lahiri in Ocean's Twelve, the sequel to Ocean's Eleven. She and the cast members were nominated for the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Cast. In 2005, she reprised her role as Elena in The Legend of Zorro, the sequel to The Mask of Zorro. The film received negative-mixed reviews, however, the critics, acclaimed the individual performances of the actors, Banderas and Zeta-Jones. The Legend of Zorro grossed over $ 142 million worldwide.
In 2007, she starred opposite Aaron Eckhart and Abigail Breslin in the American romantic comedy drama No Reservations, a remake of the German film Mostly Martha, for which she received a People's Choice Award nomination. The film garnered mixed or average reviews but was successful commercially, grossing $92 million worldwide. Claudia Puig of USA Today wrote that Zeta-Jones "shines as a character that finely balances off-putting reserve with sympathetic appeal."
In 2008, starred alongside Guy Pearce and Saoirse Ronan in Death Defying Acts, a biopic about legendary escapologist Harry Houdini at the height of his career in the 1920s. The film was well received by many critics; View London noted that "Zeta Jones also pulls off an extremely impressive Edinburgh accent and it's great to see her in a decent role for once." In 2009, Zeta-Jones starred in romantic comedy The Rebound, in which she played a 40-year old mother of two who falls in love with a younger man, played by Justin Bartha. The film was released in cinemas in several countries throughout 2009. The film is set to be released in the United States on 25 December 2010.
In August 2009, it was announced she would return to her musical roots and make her Broadway debut in the revival of A Little Night Music with Angela Lansbury, beginning December 2009. For her performance, Zeta-Jones received an Outer Critics Circle Award, Drama Desk Award, as well as a Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical.
Apart from her acting career, Zeta-Jones is also an advertising spokeswoman, currently the global spokeswoman for cosmetics giant Elizabeth Arden. She has appeared in numerous TV commercials for the phone company T-Mobile, and one for Alfa Romeo. She is also the spokeswoman for Di Modolo jewellery. Zeta-Jones was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2010 Birthday Honours.
 In the mediaDawn French and Jennifer Saunders parodied Zeta-Jones as a vacuous über-celebrity named Catherine Spartacus-Zeta-Douglas-Jones on their show French & Saunders in the series Back With a Vengeance. (Spartacus is a movie role memorably played by Zeta-Jones' father-in-law). Catherine Spartacus-Zeta-Douglas-Jones alternates between a strong Welsh accent and a strong American accent and uses Welsh-language phrases when she speaks.
Zeta-Jones is also parodied in the BBC's The Impressions Show with Culshaw and Stephenson by Debra Stephenson reading Beauty and the Beast also alternating between strong Welsh and American accents. Zeta is also mentioned in the song Hollywood by Marina and the Diamonds in the line "Oh my God, you look just like Shakira no, no, you're Catherine Zeta, actually my name's Marina".
Zeta-Jones has appeared on several magazine covers, including Allure, Harper's Bazaar, W, Vanity Fair, and Vogue. She was chosen one of "1998's Most Beautiful People" by People magazine, she also was ranked number 68 in FHM's "100 Sexiest Women in the World 2005" special supplement, and was named number 82 in 2006. She was ranked number 50 on VH1's "100 Hottest Hotties". In 2010, Peoplestar.co.uk Celebrity Magazine, featured her as number 5 in "The World's Most Beautiful Women".
==Personal life==
Wedding photo with Michael Douglas, 18 Nov. 2000Zeta-Jones met actor Michael Douglas, who shares the same birthday as she, and is exactly 25 years her senior, at the Deauville Film Festival in France in August 1998, after being introduced by Danny DeVito. They began dating in March 1999. She claims that when they met, he used the line "I'd like to father your children." They became engaged on 31 December 1999, and were married at the Plaza Hotel in New York City on 18 November 2000. A traditional Welsh choir (Côr Cymraeg Rehoboth) sang at their wedding. Her Welsh gold wedding ring includes a Celtic motif and was purchased in the Welsh town of Aberystwyth. They have two children. Their son, Dylan Michael Douglas (named after Dylan Thomas), was born on 8 August 2000, with Zeta Jones' pregnancy incorporated into her role in Traffic. Their daughter, Carys Zeta Douglas, was born on 20 April 2003. The family currently lives in New York City.
Zeta-Jones has two brothers, David and Lyndon. Her father's cousin is married to singer Bonnie Tyler, from nearby Neath, Wales. Her younger brother, Lyndon Jones, is her personal manager and producer for Milkwood Films. Zeta-Jones' parents recently moved from their Mayals property to a £2 million home two miles (3 km) further west along the Swansea coast, paid for by their daughter.
In 2004, Douglas and Zeta-Jones took legal action against stalker Dawnette Knight, who was accused of sending violent letters to the couple that contained graphic threats on Catherine's life. Testifying, Zeta-Jones said the threats left her so shaken she feared a nervous breakdown. Knight claimed she had been in love with Douglas and admitted to the offences, which took place between October 2003 and May 2004. She was sentenced to three years in prison.
Douglas and Zeta-Jones own a portfolio of property around the world, with homes in Barbados, Manhattan, Aspen, Colorado, Quebec and Mallorca. Their properties were profiled in an interview in A Place in the Sun magazine in December 2008.

Amazing Pictures of Sexy Celebrities When They Were Young

Amazing Pictures of Sexy Celebrities When They Were Young


Most of our favorite celebrities are smokin' hot babes that are almost impossible to look away from, but they weren't always gorgeous starlets with ridiculously amazing bodies. Whether performing in children's competitions or simply attending the local school, every one of these Hollywood lovelies had to start out somewhere — as a kid. Some of them were super cute, while others may shock you with a unibrow or goofy smile delusive of the sexy celeb they would become later in life. Here's a look at 34 stars long before they became delectable babes and one unfortunate bonus.

Beyoncé Knowles

Multi-talented Beyonce Knowles wasn't always a renowned actress, super model, record producer and musical performer. Beyonce's amazing voice was first discovered when she wowed the crowd at her Texan high school's talent show. Even in her pre-teen picture, she poses with style and has a little glint of starlet in her cute blue eyes.

Catherine Zeta Jones

Catherine Zeta Jones is a famous actress originally from South Wales who is known for her sexy roles in blockbusters such as Entrapment and Intolerable Cruelty. Jones began performing in a children's theatre group before she was even ten years old, and her pig-tailed picture shows a star in the making who could sell tickets at any age.

Charlize Theron

South African beauty Charlize Theron was discovered by a modeling agency at the age of sixteen, and traveled to NY where she began her explosive acting career. Though she has certainly undergone amazing transformations for films such as Monster, thinking of smoldering hot Theron does not typically summon a picture of an innocent looking, baby faced preteen.

Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston is an American actress best known for her role as Rachel on Friends. Aniston played a quirky, fun loving girl-next-door character that would later become her trademark — and this college snapshot is clearly foreshadowing.

Jennifer Lopez

When pop star Jennifer Lopez sang 'I'm Still Jenny From The Block', this is certainly not who we imagined her former self to be. A cute little girl with big brown eyes, Lopez grew up to be a sexy musical performer with a big round butt.

Bjork

Bjork is an eccentric Icelandic pop star who started playing music in punk bands as a teenager. Her little mullet almost makes her look like a boy in this picture. A few years ago, Bjork received some extra publicity for attacking a photographer outside of an airport.

Kate Moss

Kate Moss is a London born international supermodel who was discovered when she was only fifteen years old. Moss is notorious for her publicly documented cocaine abuse, which caused her to lose a multi million dollar modeling contract with retail chain H&M.

Alyssa Milano

Although Brooklyn born actress Alyssa Milano began her career when she performed in the Broadway musical Annie, she's better known for her starring role in television series Charmed. This little cutie grew up to be an avid baseball fan and PETA activist who has almost ten tattoos.

Angelina Jolie

Academy Award winning actress Angelina Jolie has been widely referred to as one of the most beautiful women in the world. Even in her old photograph, Jolie retains an aura of sultry maturity. In fact, Jolie's old picture has begun to look better than her present state ever since a picture of her gummy plastic surgery neck hit the tabloids.

Halle Berry

Halle Berry's high school picture is so tame it's almost hard to believe; she's wearing what looks like scrubs with little cartoon pencils printed on them. Berry moved to Illinois in the early 80s, where she acted in a number of television sitcoms, but received her big break from her role in Spike Jonze's Jungle Fever. Halle has been on countless 'Hottest Women' lists and remains a total sex pot today.

Milla Jovovich

Milla Jovovich is a Serbian born actress who has also tried her hand as a musician and fashion designer. Jovovich's staple is appearing in sci-fi films as a sexy, ass-kicking goddess. She even looks ready to kick some ass in her high school yearbook picture.

Gwen Stefani

Teenaged Gwen Stefani was fairly shy, and held jobs at the Dairy Queen and MAC makeup store. Stefani's first musical performance was at her high school's talent show in 1987 — meaning she's been performing for over two decades. The rock-pop idol is still a bombshell with the same fresh looking face.

Dita Von Teese

Pin up model Dita Von Teese is most famous for her marriage to Marilyn Manson, which ended in 2006. Teese's real name is Heather Renee Sweet, and she is originally from a small town in Michigan. Her younger picture resembles her look today in every way besides her hair, which is now black.

Miranda Kerr

This very vanilla picture of Miranda Kerr makes her look like a mom from the Hamptons. Kerr is an Australian supermodel best known for her work as a Victoria's Secret Angel, but her first notable work was as a Billabong model in the late 90s. Her young image above is from a 1998 Dolly Magazine photo shoot, controversial because Kerr was only 13 years old at the time.

Gisele Bundchen

Gisele Bundchen is a Brazilian supermodel so successful that she's become the sixteenth most wealthy woman in the entire world. Always a star, even in her high school years, this picture doesn't look unlike many of her recent modeling photographs.

Keira Knightley

Golden Globe winner Keira Knightley is an English actress whose passion for performance dominated her life since childhood. Knightley hired her first agent when she was six years old and remembers a "single-mindedness" about acting that kept her performing in amateur productions whenever she got the chance.

Taylor Swift

Singer-Songwriter Taylor Swift is still pretty young, earning her first platinum record at just 20 years old. Besides the blonde hair, her childhood picture next to a pony doesn't look too much like today's Grammy award winning beauty.

Natalie Portman

American actress Natalie Portman is not only one of the most beautiful women to ever live, but incredibly smart as well. She earned a degree in psychology at Harvard while completing her role in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, and claims to have smoked weed every day while doing so. The total package, Portman began her career in The Professional, where she starred as a young girl who becomes the companion of an aging hit man.

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson is an American actress and musician who helped campaign for Barack Obama during the presidential election. Scarlett Johansson's childhood picture looks pretty much exactly the same as her adult self, only with more childlike shyness in her expression.

Jessica Biel

Pictured above with Scarlett Johansson, American actress and model Jessica Biel hasn't changed much. America watched her grow up on the family oriented television series 7th Heaven; Biel certainly looks much older today, but no less beautiful.

Rihanna

Rihanna began her recording career when she moved to the US from the Barbados at the age of sixteen. At her current age of 22, Rihanna has earned over ten chart topping Billboard hits. To non-Rihanna lovers, she's best known for getting the shit kicked out of her by R&B performer Chris Brown. Who could punch a cute little face like that? Only a douchebag.

Eliza Dushku

American actress Eliza Dushku began her career when she was just ten years old, and has appeared in countless movies and television shows since. The undeniably gorgeous Dushku says her roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel have provoked heaps of fan mail from prisoners on death row. "They write everything," Dusku states, "disgusting things that you don't even want to know about. . . It's so creepy."

Bar Refaeli

Israeli supermodel Bar Rafaeli began modeling before she reached one year in age, appearing in a baby commercial. Rafaeli was guided by her mother, who was also a successful model. A need for braces caused her to take a modeling hiatus until she entered back into the game and earned multiple victories in Model of The Year competitions beginning when she was just fifteen.

Zooey Deschanel

Zooey Deschanel is America's new sweetheart, playing the role of quirky love interest in Indie films like 500 Days of Summer. Deschanel recently began a musical project as well, composing one half of Indie pop duo She & Him. Deschanel doesn't look much younger in this picture, but definitely has more of a cookie-cutter image than today's personality driven Zooey.

Hayden Panettiere

20-year-old Hayden Panettiere, star of American TV series Heroes, is the same midget she's always been at just five feet tall. As she rides what appears to be a zebra, Hayden's face looks almost exactly the same as it does today. Hayden's lesser known talent, singing, has earned her multiple voice acting roles in Disney cartoons and a Grammy nomination.

Taylor Momsen

Taylor Momsen is a seventeen year old famous for her major role in the American television drama Gossip Girl. Despite the small age gap between her present and former self, the two pictures are most certainly another dichotomy on this list. Regarding the possibility that others see her as a role model, Momsen said, "To be honest, I don't fucking care [about being a role model]. I didn't get into this to be a role model. So I'm sorry if I'm influencing your kids in a way that you don't like, but I can't be responsible for their actions. I don't care."

Nicole Kidman

Nicole as a kid is almost cuter than the plastic lipped Nicole of today. However, there was a time when Kidman was a sex icon, and everything she did radiated beauty. Kidman was born in Hawaii, but is of Australian descent. Her road to fame began when she appeared on a number of Australian sitcoms in the mid eighties.

Doutzen Kroes

Cute little Doutzen Kroes grew up to be a smoking hot international super model who has walked the runway for Gucci, Escada, Versace, Hugo Boss, and many other fashion icons. Kroes was born in the Netherlands and sent her photographs to a modeling agency shortly after graduating high school.

Jena Malone

One of the traits Jena Malone has retained from her childhood is her adorable awkwardness. Lanky but beautiful, Malone was the cuteness factor in the 2001 indie film Donnie Darko. Besides multiple on screen roles, Malone also has a band called Jena Malone and Her Bloodstains.

Megan Fox

Damn, Megan Fox! What a unibrow on that girl. At least she's pretty much the hottest woman on the planet right now. She could frame this picture above her bed and laugh about it with everyone she knows — without caring even a little bit. Fox, famous for her roles in Transformers and Jennifer's Body, has a true ugly-ducking-to-swan story.

Adriana Lima

Adriana Lima is another international supermodel famous for her role as a Victoria's Secret Angel. Multi-lingual Brazilian beauty Lima says she didn't have her fist kiss until she was 17 years old, attributing the late start to her shyness around boys. Unlike most celebrities, Lima is public about her strong religious beliefs and choice to remain celibate until marriage.

Demi Moore

Demi Moore, wife of Ashton Kutcher, is an American Actress who has three children with actor and ex-husband Bruce Willis. Moore had a rough childhood, was raised by two violent alcoholics, and suffered various physical ailments. Once cross-eyed Moore is has a chipper smile in her high school photograph that has held up until today, almost 40 years later.

Mila Kunis

Russian actress Mila Kunis' childhood photo makes her look more 90s-esque than a young teenage girl; her face looks almost exactly the same today. Once the unobtainable prom-queen type of gal, Kunis grew up to become an unobtainable blockbuster star of every man's dreams.

Katy Perry

Katy Perry is undoubtedly a total cutie in her childhood pic, but her short blonde locks and high school vibe is a far stretch from today's risque image of the pop idol. Perry, who grew up in a religious household where she listened strictly to gospel music, abandoned her clean cut look for hits like "I Kissed a Girl" and a whole lot of cleavage.

Unfortunate Unsexy Bonus: Amy Winehouse

Who knew that the sweet, button nosed girl on the left would turn into the raging crack addict on the right? Multi-platinum artist Amy Winehouse grew up singing in jazz bands, but was always somewhat eccentric — she formed a short-lived rap duo as an adolescent and was kicked out of junior high for piercing her nose. In adulthood, Winehouse spiraled out of control after success brought her enough money to buy all the drugs and booze her little heart desired.

Halle Berry's high school picture is so tame it's almost hard to believe; she's wearing what looks like scrubs with little cartoon pencils printed on them. Berry moved to Illinois in the early 80s, where she acted in a number of television sitcoms, but received her big break from her role in Spike Jonze's Jungle Fever. Halle has been on countless 'Hottest Women' lists and remains a total sex pot today.

Milla Jovovich

Milla Jovovich is a Serbian born actress who has also tried her hand as a musician and fashion designer. Jovovich's staple is appearing in sci-fi films as a sexy, ass-kicking goddess. She even looks ready to kick some ass in her high school yearbook picture.

Gwen Stefani

Teenaged Gwen Stefani was fairly shy, and held jobs at the Dairy Queen and MAC makeup store. Stefani's first musical performance was at her high school's talent show in 1987 — meaning she's been performing for over two decades. The rock-pop idol is still a bombshell with the same fresh looking face.

Dita Von Teese

Pin up model Dita Von Teese is most famous for her marriage to Marilyn Manson, which ended in 2006. Teese's real name is Heather Renee Sweet, and she is originally from a small town in Michigan. Her younger picture resembles her look today in every way besides her hair, which is now black.

Miranda Kerr

This very vanilla picture of Miranda Kerr makes her look like a mom from the Hamptons. Kerr is an Australian supermodel best known for her work as a Victoria's Secret Angel, but her first notable work was as a Billabong model in the late 90s. Her young image above is from a 1998 Dolly Magazine photo shoot, controversial because Kerr was only 13 years old at the time.

Gisele Bundchen

Gisele Bundchen is a Brazilian supermodel so successful that she's become the sixteenth most wealthy woman in the entire world. Always a star, even in her high school years, this picture doesn't look unlike many of her recent modeling photographs.

Keira Knightley

Golden Globe winner Keira Knightley is an English actress whose passion for performance dominated her life since childhood. Knightley hired her first agent when she was six years old and remembers a "single-mindedness" about acting that kept her performing in amateur productions whenever she got the chance.

Taylor Swift

Singer-Songwriter Taylor Swift is still pretty young, earning her first platinum record at just 20 years old. Besides the blonde hair, her childhood picture next to a pony doesn't look too much like today's Grammy award winning beauty.

Natalie Portman

American actress Natalie Portman is not only one of the most beautiful women to ever live, but incredibly smart as well. She earned a degree in psychology at Harvard while completing her role in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, and claims to have smoked weed every day while doing so. The total package, Portman began her career in The Professional, where she starred as a young girl who becomes the companion of an aging hit man.

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson is an American actress and musician who helped campaign for Barack Obama during the presidential election. Scarlett Johansson's childhood picture looks pretty much exactly the same as her adult self, only with more childlike shyness in her expression.

Jessica Biel

Pictured above with Scarlett Johansson, American actress and model Jessica Biel hasn't changed much. America watched her grow up on the family oriented television series 7th Heaven; Biel certainly looks much older today, but no less beautiful.

Rihanna

Rihanna began her recording career when she moved to the US from the Barbados at the age of sixteen. At her current age of 22, Rihanna has earned over ten chart topping Billboard hits. To non-Rihanna lovers, she's best known for getting the shit kicked out of her by R&B performer Chris Brown. Who could punch a cute little face like that? Only a douchebag.

Eliza Dushku

American actress Eliza Dushku began her career when she was just ten years old, and has appeared in countless movies and television shows since. The undeniably gorgeous Dushku says her roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel have provoked heaps of fan mail from prisoners on death row. "They write everything," Dusku states, "disgusting things that you don't even want to know about. . . It's so creepy."

Bar Refaeli

Israeli supermodel Bar Rafaeli began modeling before she reached one year in age, appearing in a baby commercial. Rafaeli was guided by her mother, who was also a successful model. A need for braces caused her to take a modeling hiatus until she entered back into the game and earned multiple victories in Model of The Year competitions beginning when she was just fifteen.

Zooey Deschanel

Zooey Deschanel is America's new sweetheart, playing the role of quirky love interest in Indie films like 500 Days of Summer. Deschanel recently began a musical project as well, composing one half of Indie pop duo She & Him. Deschanel doesn't look much younger in this picture, but definitely has more of a cookie-cutter image than today's personality driven Zooey.

Hayden Panettiere

20-year-old Hayden Panettiere, star of American TV series Heroes, is the same midget she's always been at just five feet tall. As she rides what appears to be a zebra, Hayden's face looks almost exactly the same as it does today. Hayden's lesser known talent, singing, has earned her multiple voice acting roles in Disney cartoons and a Grammy nomination.

Taylor Momsen

Taylor Momsen is a seventeen year old famous for her major role in the American television drama Gossip Girl. Despite the small age gap between her present and former self, the two pictures are most certainly another dichotomy on this list. Regarding the possibility that others see her as a role model, Momsen said, "To be honest, I don't fucking care [about being a role model]. I didn't get into this to be a role model. So I'm sorry if I'm influencing your kids in a way that you don't like, but I can't be responsible for their actions. I don't care."

Nicole Kidman

Nicole as a kid is almost cuter than the plastic lipped Nicole of today. However, there was a time when Kidman was a sex icon, and everything she did radiated beauty. Kidman was born in Hawaii, but is of Australian descent. Her road to fame began when she appeared on a number of Australian sitcoms in the mid eighties.

Doutzen Kroes

Cute little Doutzen Kroes grew up to be a smoking hot international super model who has walked the runway for Gucci, Escada, Versace, Hugo Boss, and many other fashion icons. Kroes was born in the Netherlands and sent her photographs to a modeling agency shortly after graduating high school.

Jena Malone

One of the traits Jena Malone has retained from her childhood is her adorable awkwardness. Lanky but beautiful, Malone was the cuteness factor in the 2001 indie film Donnie Darko. Besides multiple on screen roles, Malone also has a band called Jena Malone and Her Bloodstains.

Megan Fox

Damn, Megan Fox! What a unibrow on that girl. At least she's pretty much the hottest woman on the planet right now. She could frame this picture above her bed and laugh about it with everyone she knows — without caring even a little bit. Fox, famous for her roles in Transformers and Jennifer's Body, has a true ugly-ducking-to-swan story.

Adriana Lima

Adriana Lima is another international supermodel famous for her role as a Victoria's Secret Angel. Multi-lingual Brazilian beauty Lima says she didn't have her fist kiss until she was 17 years old, attributing the late start to her shyness around boys. Unlike most celebrities, Lima is public about her strong religious beliefs and choice to remain celibate until marriage.

Demi Moore

Demi Moore, wife of Ashton Kutcher, is an American Actress who has three children with actor and ex-husband Bruce Willis. Moore had a rough childhood, was raised by two violent alcoholics, and suffered various physical ailments. Once cross-eyed Moore is has a chipper smile in her high school photograph that has held up until today, almost 40 years later.

Mila Kunis

Russian actress Mila Kunis' childhood photo makes her look more 90s-esque than a young teenage girl; her face looks almost exactly the same today. Once the unobtainable prom-queen type of gal, Kunis grew up to become an unobtainable blockbuster star of every man's dreams.

Katy Perry

Katy Perry is undoubtedly a total cutie in her childhood pic, but her short blonde locks and high school vibe is a far stretch from today's risque image of the pop idol. Perry, who grew up in a religious household where she listened strictly to gospel music, abandoned her clean cut look for hits like "I Kissed a Girl" and a whole lot of cleavage.

Unfortunate Unsexy Bonus: Amy Winehouse

Who knew that the sweet, button nosed girl on the left would turn into the raging crack addict on the right? Multi-platinum artist Amy Winehouse grew up singing in jazz bands, but was always somewhat eccentric — she formed a short-lived rap duo as an adolescent and was kicked out of junior high for piercing her nose. In adulthood, Winehouse spiraled out of control after success brought her enough money to buy all the drugs and booze her little heart desired.
