Aaliyah Dana Haughton (January 16, 1979 – August 25, 2001), stage name Aaliyah, was an American R&B singer, dancer, fashion model and actress. Notable for recording several hit records, including three #1 R&B hits (”Back and Forth”, “If Your Girl Only Knew”, and “Miss You”) and one #1 pop hit (”Try Again”), Aaliyah also collaborated with record producers and songwriters R. Kelly, Missy Elliott, Timbaland, and Static during her career, and also modelled for Tommy Hilfiger and acted in two motion pictures. In 2001, Aaliyah’s career was cut tragically short when she died in a plane crash at the age of 22.Â
Since arriving in India last week, Angelina Jolie has been the indirect cause of a hit-and-run accident, a paparazzi choking and a photog punchout.Â
Obviously, she’s the one in need of more protection.
Indian police have announced they will be heightening security measures for the actress after a car in her convoy collided with a motorcycle Wednesday, causing minor injuries to its rider.
Nineteen-year-old Mittal Rawat told police the car sped away after hitting him in an effort to avoid a swarm of photographers.
Returning to a full-time job isn’t an easy decision for any mom to make. So when Brothers & Sisters executive producer and director Ken Olin approached her, Calista Flockhart had many, many questions.Â
“She loved the script,” Olin says, “but then she’d go, ‘What is the schedule going to be? And what are the expectations?’”
Olin patiently waited for her to decide – the role was written with her in mind – but was just about ready to begin searching for someone else when Flockhart finally said yes.
