Amy Smart

Acting Appreciation

I'm not sure if it was Starship Troopers, Varsity Blues, Road Trip, or Rat Race where I first noticed the beautiful American actress Amy Smart. It was the gorgeous green eyes. 😍

Amy Smart was born on March 26, 1976 in Los Angeles, California. She began her professional career as a model in Italy. In Milan, she met fellow model and actress Ali Larter. Eventually, they both moved back to L.A. to pursue acting. 

In 1993, she appeared in a music video for The Lemonheads' song, "It's About Time." Soon after she got her first role in Martin Kunert's horror film, Campfire Tales. 

She played a copilot opposite Denise Richards in Starship Troopers. But it was her role in Varsity Blues that may have catapulted her acting career. 

She started appearing in romance comedies, like Road Trip, Rat Race, Barley Legal, The Best Man, Just Friends, and Starsky & Hutch where she won an MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss. In 2014, she appeared in Tyler Perry's comedy The Single Moms Club.

Amy starred in TV drama series Felicity for two seasons. She also provided voice acting for stop motion sketch comedy TV series Robot Chicken.  

In 2011, she married TLC series Trading Spaces TV personality Carter Oosterhouse.

Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl

Music Appreciation

American singer Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl was released as the lead single from her debut solo album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. on March 22, 2005.

Written by Stefani, Pharrell Williams, and Chad Hugo and produced by Williams' and Hugo's The Neptunes, the song is said to be a "attitude song" inspired by Courtney Love's Seventeen Magazine derogatory comment, "Being famous is just like being in high school. But I'm not interested in being the cheerleader. I'm not interested in being Gwen Stefani. She's the cheerleader, and I'm out in the smoker shed." 

The dance-pop and electropop song received positive reviews from music critics who praised its catchy hook and Stefani's assertive lyrics. It reached number one in Australia and the United States, where it became the first digital download to sell one million copies. 

The music video, which was directed by Paul Hunter, features Stefani as a cheerleader in a California high school dancing with her backup dancers, Harajuku Girls. The video was well received and nominated for several awards, including Video of the Year at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards.
