Gwen Stephanie is Armenian

[Lada]

Gwen Renée Stefani (born October 3, 1969) is an American singer of Armenian origin, fashion designer, and occasional actress; and is the frontwoman of the ska/rock band No Doubt.

A native of Anaheim, California, Stefani first experienced mainstream success with the release of No Doubt's 1995 album Tragic Kingdom, which spawned hits such as "Just a Girl", "Spiderwebs", and "Don't Speak".

In 2004, Gwen Stefani wrote and recorded her first solo album Love. Angel. Music. Baby., for which she consulted producers The Neptunes, singer-songwriter Linda Perry and OutKast frontman André 3000, among others. The album contained pop music and dance music tracks, including hip hop and slow jam-influences. The third single, "Hollaback Girl", was very successful, and became the first U.S. digital single to exceed sales of one million.

Pharrell has stated he has produced, and is still tweaking new tracks for Stefani's second solo album, which is scheduled for a late 2006 release.

Re: Gwen Stephanie is armenian

Interesting how your 1st paragraph is exactly the same as the wiki page for Gwen, except you conveniently added "of Armenian origin" in there.

Re: Gwen Stephanie is armenian

I'd hardly consider an eBay index a reliable source. The wiki page makes no reference to her being Armenian. It also exposes some errors in the eBay page. For example, the eBay bio says she was "a native of Anaheim, California", while the wiki page says she was "born in Fullerton, California". I have yet to see a legitimate source state that she is Armenian.

Actors - Christy Canyon


Christy Canyon (born Melissa Bardizbanian on June 17, 1966 in Pasadena, California, USA) is an American erotic actress.

Born to an Armenian American father and an Italian American mother, Canyon is the younger sister of author/editor Carla Sinclair. She holds an associate's degree in merchandise marketing. She has been married and divorced twice: to Tom Sinopoli (1993-1994) and Jeremy Stone (1996-1999). She has been married since 2003 to a man named Grant.

From 1984 to 1997, Canyon appeared in nearly 200 adult films. Canyon has won several "best female performance" awards and is a member of the XRCO Hall of Fame.

Best known for her large natural breasts and natural beauty, Christy engaged in primarily standard adult fare consisting or vaginal intercourse, oral sex, lesbian encounters, and small party group sex. Toward the end of her last tour of adult movies, it appeared that she engaged in one anal sex scene (doggy style) for several minutes. Due to her unshaved pubic area and general use of bad camera angles, this may be in doubt.

Canyon retired and returned to films several times during her career, mainly due to changes in her marital status. Currently, she is retired from performing in films but still has an adult-related career, concentrating on her web site, working as a host for Playboy radio, and selling merchandise on eBay. In 2003, she published her autobiography, "Lights, Camera, Sex" (ISBN 0972747001).

Early life
He grew up in France and the U.S., the son of a xxxish American mother and a Bulgarian father of Armenian and Hungarian descent. He is the nephew of French pop singer Sylvie Vartan. His parents divorced when Michael was 5. At age 18, he did not wish to fulfil the mandatory military service required in France, so Vartan moved to Los Angeles from France with his mother.

After many minor film roles, Vartan had noticeable supporting roles in major movies, including Never Been Kissed (1999), One Hour Photo (2002) and Monster-in-Law (2005). He also starred as Michael Vaughn in the American television series Alias (2001-2005) and is now starting pre-production work on an Australian horror film, Rogue.

He has also had guest appearances on Friends (as Dr. Tim Burke, Tom Selleck's character's son), Ally McBeal (as Jonathan Basset), and most recently Kitchen Confidential (as a rival French chef) starring his former Alias co-star Bradley Cooper.
