Why Is She Famous?
It's been a long time since Jessica Biel played Mary Camden on the WB's 7th Heaven, which aired from 1996 to 2007. Hoping to change her innocent image, she caused a controversy by posing topless for the March 2000 issue of Gear magazine. Although she stated later that she regretted the shoot, it hasn't affected her career -- not even remotely. The versatile actress has appeared in a number of movies over the years, including the dark The Rules of Attraction (2002), the spine-tingling The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), the adventurous Blade: Trinity (2004), and the suspenseful Next (2007). She let her funny side show in the comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007) and proved that Keira Knightley was not the only young starlet who could handle a period piece with Easy Virtue in 2008. In 2009, she starred in Powder Blue and Planet 51, but we're really looking forward to her upcoming role as Lt. Sosa in 2010's The A-Team. Oh, and she dates some pop singer named Justin.

A regular girl who loved to sing, dance, in-line skate, and mountain bike, Jessica Biel was first discovered while competing at the International Modeling and Talent Association's Los Angeles Convention in 1994. Her participation in the conference led to her being awarded a scholarship to the Young Actors Space, an acting society in Los Angeles.The hazel-eyed beauty hit it big in 1996 when she was cast as Mary Camden in the WB's successful family drama 7th Heaven. While playing one of seven siblings on the Aaron Spelling-produced show, Jessica Biel also proved to moviegoers that she could steal the spotlight on the silver screen. In 1997, she starred with Peter Fonda in Ulee's Gold -- which garnered attention at the Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals -- and her role as the rebellious teen made critics take notice.

jessica biel in gear
Voted one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in 1999, Jessica Biel did a 180-degree turn with her career when she posed semi-nude for Gear magazine while underage. In an attempt to break free from her wholesome television image and her contract with Aaron Spelling, Jessica Biel was ready to show men worldwide what she had.But Spelling and the rest of 7th Heaven's production team were unhappy to say the least, and filed a lawsuit against the men's magazine. Apparently, Jessica Biel was trying to prove to Spelling that he did not own her (as opposed to her strict contract clauses), and that she could take on whatever projects she chose. This was also in response to the alleged feeling that she was missing out on plum parts in Hollywood movies.
Despite the fact that she lost the role in American Beauty to Thora Birch, the girl-next-door beauty still had great roles ahead of her.

Have never seen Jessica Biel, but I am impressed that she reached the peak of Kilimanjaro. That's a difficult climb. I know because I tried in 1982 but didn't reach the peak due to altitude sickness.
your talent is greatly enhanced with comedic roles. A Judy Holliday character is your best bet. Your role model should be Emma Thomp-son, a superb actress in any role she undertakes. Best Wishes.
yes she can do to me whatever she wants, anyone that pretty can, but I don't know thatI'll get that lucky
I'm not that weak for a man, but she should kick my ass easily. She's such a beauty that I wouldn't mind.
Those huge lips drive me wide, god ! love them.
We haven't even gotten to the rest of her body yet. She can work out for over five hours a day and is sexy sexy.
Jessie, Get away from the Hollywood types for relationships. They are shallow and lack a sense of humility. Timberlake looks in a mirror and sees adulation and the sense of having the world revolve around him. Susan Hayward, whom you remind me of, married a car dealer from Carrollton,Ga. bore two sons, both educated at Auburn and lived happily ever after, in a small town. Maybe this is right for you. First find inner peace, happiness will follow.
Move on Jessie, Timberlake is not good enough for you. There is a true soul mate waiting for you somewhere and you are going to find him. Take care and take your dogs for a walk. You meet the most interesting folks, in the most ordinary places. Go fishing at the lake, Go to your hometown and take a breather. The home folks need to nurture you and God Bless.
her bubble but is totally fake. look at old pics of her. i'm sick of girls like kim k and jessica passing off fake butts as real ones. it's one thing if you have a flat butt to make it unflat through surgery to alleviate any insecurities. but to make it huge enough to garner all that attention and then claim it as your own is just pathetic.
Wow, JD you tell him to have class but refer to Jessica "All her talent is in her ass" Biel as ; "one of the best actress"?
