Mini Biography

Kelly Brook (born Kelly Ann Parsons; ) is an English model, actress, entrepreneur, television presenter and Playboy model.

Early life

Brook was born and raised in Rochester, Kent, England. She is the daughter of Sandra, a cook, and Kenneth Parsons, a scaffolder. She has a younger brother, Damian, and an older half-sister, Sasha. Kenneth died aged 57 in Rochester from lung cancer on 26 November 2007, during Brook's time on Strictly Come Dancing.

Brook attended The Thomas Aveling School in Warren Wood, Rochester. She then studied at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London for three years before becoming a professional model.

Modelling career

Brook's modelling career began at 16 after winning a beauty competition, in which she was entered by her mother. She later worked on a range of advertising campaigns, including for Foster's Lager, Renault Megane, Walkers crisps, Piz Buin and Bravissimo, a company that specialises in bras and lingerie for large-breasted women. Her figure eventually caught the eye of the editorial team of the Daily Star tabloid, which began featuring her as a Page Three girl.

Brook's picture soon began appearing in other lad mags such as GQ, Loaded and FHM. In April of the same year, a poll over 5,000 women for Grazia magazine considered her to have the best British female body. She also topped the 'FHM 100 Hottest Women in the World' list in 2005, which was said to have polled 15 million people. Appearing in this list every year since 1998, she ranked #34 in 2008, #67 in 2009 and #7 in 2010. She was the cover star of FHM's World Cup 2010 special issue, and was on the cover of the magazine in April 2011.

In 2006, she signed a contract, reported to be worth around £1m, to present Unilever's Lynx body spray, known as "Axe" in the US and in continental Europe. She has appeared on billboards, in newspapers, and on-line as part of their advertising campaign. She has also appeared in commercials for Sky + and T Mobile, and modelled for Reebok.

In 2010, she was chosen as the "new face and body" of lingerie maker Ultimo's advertising campaign. In September of 2010, Brook appeared in the American edition of Playboy magazine. In October 2010, Kelly Brook appeared live in a Clapham picture house to surprise cinemagoers as part of a promotion for Carlsberg and Sky 3D. In November 2010, Brook presented an award at MTV's EMA's in Madrid.

Brook produces her own line of swimwear with New Look, which she herself has modeled.

Angelina Jolie pleases Panda premiere plebs

is Angelina Jolie really trying to look not completely bored and these KUNG FU PANDA 2 premieres she's been doing lately. That smile is looking awfully forced. I don't blame her, really. I tend to find most Dreamworks animation a tedious substitute for the far superior Pixar brand. Still, I'm sure it pays big bank, and that French chateau she and Brad keep for their brood ain't paying for itself.

Angelina is a beautiful woman. However, when I see her now, I find myself pining for the Angelina from 2000 or so. The more filled out, non-bo**lehead version of her. She just had a healthier look about her then. She doesn't look that way anymore. What was once exotic, captivating, alluring, now seems more and more gaunt, thin, and surgically altered with each passing year. She's still beautiful, but something has been lost.

Rachel Bilson needs a few buckets of water

who doesn't love some p*e? I know I get a jonesing for some banana cream or chocolate silk from time to time. Celebs are no different, as evidenced by Rachel Bilson out at an intriguing place called House of P*es this weekend to requisition some their no doubt delicious pie goodness. Of course, this is Hollywood, so you can't just go out in sweats and your beer themed t shirt. They  spice that up a bit for the cameras. I do approve of Rachel's choices here. The see thru top is a nice touch, as is the baggy yet h**-hu**ing lac* dress. Now if only someone had mishandled some large buckets of ice water we'd have a truly epic p*e run here.
