Kurš datēja Madonna (mūziķe)?

Madonna Luīze Čikone (Madonna Louise Ciccone, dzimusi 1958. gada 16. augustā), plašākai publikai zināma kā Madonna, ir amerikāņu dziedātāja, dziesmu tekstu autore, dziesmu un mākslas filmu producente, aktrise, kinorežisore, modes pasaules ikona. Pazīstama ar saviem ambiciozajiem un pārdrošajiem mūzikas videoklipiem, kuros bieži tiek skartas seksuālas un reliģiozas tēmas, kā arī protests pret politisko situāciju pasaulē. Madonna aktīvi iestājas pret nabadzību, globālo sasilšanu un atbalsta cilvēku reliģiozo, humanitāro un etnisko vienlīdzību.

Mūziķe ir dzimusi Mičiganas štata pilsētā Beisitijā, uzaugusi Ročesterhilā, bet uz dzīvi Ņujorkā pārcēlās 1977. gadā, lai uzsāktu dejotājas karjeru. Pēc neilgas koncertēšanas kopā ar popmūzikas grupām Breakfast Club un Emmy, 1983. gadā Madonna ierakstu kompānijas Sire Records paspārnē izdeva savu pirmo solo albumu Madonna. Pasaules slavu dziedātāja ieguva pēc vairāku komerciāli veiksmīgu albumu, tādu kā Like A Virgin (1984) un True Blue (1986), izdošanas, kas Madonnu padarīja par tā brīža popmūzikas un modes ikonu. Popularitāti veicināja arī mūziķes piedalīšanās filmā "Izmisīgi meklējot Sūzenu" (1985). Pateicoties 1989. gada singla Like A Prayer skandalozajam videoklipam, kurš saturēja daudzus katoļticības simbolus — tādus kā stigmas uz rokām un degošus krustus, Madonna vēl pamatīgāk nostiprināja savu skandalozo slavu, kas savukārt noveda pie domstarpībām ar Vatikānu. 1992. gadā Madonna nodibināja izklaides kompāniju Maverick, kas sastāvēja no ierakstu kompānijas Maverick Records, filmu studijas Maverick Films, kā arī mūzikas izdevniecības, televīzijas, tirdzniecības un grāmatu izdevniecības nodaļām. Tajā pašā gadā nāca klajā Madonnas pirmā publikācija "Sekss" — grāmata, kurā mūziķe aprakstīja savus brīvos seksuālos uzskatus un tajā bija ieraugāmi seksuāli provokatīvi mūziķes foto, kuru autors bija fotogrāfs Stīvens Meisels. Lai arī šī publikācija izraisīja pretrunīgu plašsaziņas mediju reakciju, ASV grāmata pārdota 500 000 eksemplāros.

1996. gadā Madonna, vienlaikus kā aktrise un dziedātāja, piedalījās savā visveiksmīgākajā, bet tajā pašā laikā arī viskritizētākajā mākslas filmā "Evita", kurā attēloja slaveno Argentīnas prezidenta Huana Perona sievu Evu Peronu. Filmas oriģinālmūzikas albumā iekļauti trīs Madonnas izpildītie singli, no kuriem You Must Love Me ieguva Amerikas Kinoakadēmijas balvu un Zelta globusa balvu kā labākā filmas oriģināldziesma (mūzikas autors Endrū Loids Vebers, teksta autors Tims Raiss). Par Evitas lomu šajā filmā Madonna ieguva Zelta globusa balvu kategorijā labākā aktrise. Madonnas 1998. gada albums Ray Of Light kļuva par mūziķes vienu no veiksmīgākajiem un izpelnījās kritiķu viennozīmīgu pozitīvu vērtējumu.

2005. gada albums Confessions On A Dance Floor ieguva Grammy balvu kā gada labākais elektroniskās deju mūzikas albums. Pirmais singls Hung Up kļuva par mūziķes visu laiku visveiksmīgāko singlu un sasniedza 1. vietu 45 pasaules valstīs, uzstādot Ginesa rekordu kā dziesma, kas guvusi visvairāk pirmo vietu pasaules topos. 2007. gada oktobrī mūziķe paziņoja par savu aiziešanu no ierakstu kompānijas Warner Records un jauna 120 miljonus ASV dolāru 10 gadu kontrakta parakstīšanu ar kompāniju Live Nation.

Madonna iekļauta Ginesa rekordu grāmatā kā visu laiku visveiksmīgākā soliste. Ar aptuveni 175 miljoniem pārdotu albumu un 75 miljoniem pārdotu singlu Madonna ir visu laiku visienesīgākā sieviešu kārtas mūziķe. Žurnāls Forbes Magazine ir aprēķinājis, ka Madonnai piederošais kapitāls ir aptuveni 490 miljoni ASV dolāru, turklāt Madonnas koncerttūrei Sticky & Sweet Tour pieder visienesīgākās koncerttūres rekords. Mūzikas pasaulē Madonnu oficiāli dēvē par "Popmūzikas karalieni", kuras ieguldījums mūzikas attīstībā stāv līdzās 2009. gadā mirušā "Popmūzikas karaļa" Maikla Džeksona daiļradei.

Leonards Alberts "Lenijs" Kravics (angļu: Leonard Albert "Lenny" Kravitz; dzimis 1964. gada 26. maijā Ņujorkā, ASV) ir amerikāņu dziedātājs, dziesmu autors, ierakstu producents, multiinstrumentālists un aranžētājs. Ierakstu laikā viņš ne tikai iedzied vokālu, bet bieži vien arī pats spēlē ģitāru, basģitāru, bungas, sintezatoru un perkusijas. Viņš ir pazīstams ar rūpīgi izstrādāto uzstāšanos un mūzikas videoklipiem.

L. Kravics četrus gadus pēc kārtas ieguva labākā vīriešu roka vokāla izpildījuma Grammy balvu no 1999. līdz 2002. gadam, uzstādīdams jaunu rekordu kopējā uzvaru skaitā šajā kategorijā un visvairāk saņemtajās balvās pēc kārtas starp vīriešiem. Tāpat mākslinieks ir ticis nominēts daudzām citām balvām, tai skaitā Amerikas mūzikas balvai, MTV Video mūzikas balvai, radio mūzikas balvai, BRIT balvai un Blockbuster Entertainment balvai. Viņš arī ir filmējies filmā "Bada spēles".

Robert Matthew Van Winkle (born October 31, 1967), known professionally as Vanilla Ice, is an American rapper, actor, and television host. Born in Dallas and raised in Miami, he was the first solo white rapper to achieve commercial success, following the 1990 release of his best-known hit "Ice Ice Baby". He is credited with breaking down racial barriers in rap and hip-hop for future white rappers, most notably Eminem.

Ice released his debut album, Hooked, on the independent Ichiban Records before signing a contract with SBK Records, a record label of the EMI Group, which released a reformatted version under the title To the Extreme; it became the fastest-selling hip hop album of all time and "Ice Ice Baby" was the first hip hop single to top the Billboard charts. Followed by the live album Extremely Live (1991), Ice made a cameo appearance on the film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991) where he performed "Ninja Rap", which he co-wrote. He was soon offered and starred in his own film, Cool as Ice (1991), which included the single "Cool as Ice (Everybody Get Loose)" with Naomi Campbell; the film itself was a box office failure.

His fast rise in popularity was quickly marred by media controversies about his background. Ice later regretted his business arrangements with SBK, who had also published fabricated biographical information without his knowledge. Ice's second studio album, Mind Blowin' (1994), featured a major image change but was commercially unsuccessful. Following rap rock performances in the underground scene and playing in a local grunge band, Ice released the dark nu metal album Hard to Swallow (1998), followed by the independently released Bi-Polar (2001) and Platinum Underground (2005).

In the 2000s, Ice began appearing on television reality shows including The Surreal Life. In 2010, Ice began hosting The Vanilla Ice Project on DIY Network which ran for nine seasons until 2019. In 2022, he started another home improvement television program, The Vanilla Ice Home Show. He is also involved in motocross racing and real estate.

José Canseco Capas Jr. (born July 2, 1964) is a Cuban-American former professional baseball outfielder and designated hitter who played 17 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB). During his time with the Oakland Athletics, he established himself as one of the premier power hitters in the game. He won the Rookie of the Year (1986), and Most Valuable Player award (1988), and was a six-time All-Star. Canseco is a two-time World Series champion with the Oakland Athletics (1989) and the New York Yankees (2000).

In 1988, Canseco became the first player in MLB history to hit 40 home runs and steal 40 bases in one season. He won the Silver Slugger Award four times: three as an American League (AL) outfielder (1988, 1990, 1991), and once as a designated hitter (1998). He ranks fourth all-time in Athletics history with 254 home runs and is one of 14 players in MLB history with 400 home runs and 200 stolen bases. Despite many injuries during the later part of his career, Canseco averaged 40 home runs, 120 runs batted in, and 102 runs scored every 162 games, playing a total of 1,887 games in 17 seasons with seven different teams. His 462 career home runs are the 12th-highest total in AL history and the 2nd most in MLB history for a player with less than 2,000 games played. For the length of his career (1985-2001) Canseco had the 3rd most home runs in Major League Baseball behind only Mark McGwire (583) and Barry Bonds (567). He’s the 7th lowest drafted player (15th round, 392nd pick in 1982) in MLB history ever to win an MVP Award.

Canseco admitted using performance-enhancing drugs during his major-league playing career, and in 2005 wrote a tell-all book, Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big, in which he said that the vast majority of MLB players use steroids. After retiring from MLB, he also competed in boxing and mixed martial arts.

Jenny Lynn Shimizu (born June 16, 1967) is an American model and actress.

Tupac Amaru Shakur ( TOO-pahk shə-KOOR; born Lesane Parish Crooks; June 16, 1971 – September 13, 1996), also known by his stage names 2Pac and Makaveli, was an American rapper and actor. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time, one of the most influential musical artists of the 20th century, and a prominent political activist for Black America. He is among the best-selling music artists, having sold more than 75 million records worldwide. Some of Shakur's music addressed social injustice, political issues, and the marginalization of African Americans, but he was also synonymous with gangsta rap and violent lyrics.

Shakur was born in New York City to parents who were Black Panther Party members. Raised by his mother, Afeni Shakur, he relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1988. His debut album 2Pacalypse Now (1991) cemented him as a central figure in West Coast hip-hop for his political rap lyrics. Shakur achieved further critical and commercial success with his subsequent albums Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z... (1993) and Me Against the World (1995). His Diamond-certified album All Eyez on Me (1996), the first hip-hop double album, abandoned introspective lyrics for volatile gangsta rap. It yielded two Billboard Hot 100-number one singles, "California Love" and "How Do U Want It". Alongside his solo career, Shakur formed the group Thug Life and collaborated with artists like Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and the Outlawz. As an actor, Shakur starred in the films Juice (1992), Poetic Justice (1993), Above the Rim (1994), Bullet (1996), Gridlock'd (1997), and Gang Related (1997).

During his later career, Shakur was shot five times in the lobby of a New York recording studio and experienced legal troubles, including incarceration. He served eight months in prison on sexual abuse charges, but was released pending appeal in 1995. Following his release, he signed to Marion "Suge" Knight's label Death Row Records and became embroiled in the East Coast–West Coast hip-hop rivalry, which included a high-profile feud with his former friend the Notorious B.I.G. On September 7, 1996, Shakur was shot four times by an unidentified assailant in a drive-by shooting in Paradise, Nevada; he died six days later. Rumors circulated suggesting that the Notorious B.I.G. was involved; he was murdered in another drive-by shooting six months later in March 1997, while visiting Los Angeles.

Shakur's double-length posthumous album Greatest Hits (1998) is one of his two releases—and one of only nine hip-hop albums—to have been certified Diamond in the United States. Five more albums have been released since Shakur's death, including the acclaimed The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory (1996) under the stage name Makaveli, all of which have been certified multi-platinum in the United States. In 2002, Shakur was inducted into the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame. In 2017, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. Rolling Stone ranked Shakur among the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. In 2023, he was awarded a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His influence in music, activism, songwriting, and other areas of culture has been the subject of academic studies.

Dennis Keith Rodman (born May 13, 1961) is an American former professional basketball player. Renowned for his defensive and rebounding abilities, his biography on the official NBA website states that he is "arguably the best rebounding forward in NBA history". Nicknamed "the Worm", he played for the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, and Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Rodman played at the small forward position in his early years before becoming a power forward.

He earned NBA All-Defensive First Team honors seven times and won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award twice. He also led the NBA in rebounds per game for a record seven consecutive years and won five NBA championships. On April 1, 2011, the Pistons retired Rodman's No. 10 jersey, and he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame later that year. In October 2021, Rodman was honored as one of the league's greatest players of all-time by being named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.

Rodman experienced an unhappy childhood and was often described as shy and introverted in his early years. After attempting to take his own life in 1993, he reinvented himself as a "bad boy" and became notorious for numerous controversial antics. He repeatedly dyed his hair in artificial colors, had many piercings and tattoos, and regularly disrupted games by clashing with opposing players and officials. He famously wore a wedding dress to promote his 1996 autobiography Bad as I Wanna Be. Rodman also attracted international attention for his visits to North Korea and his subsequent befriending of the North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un in 2013.

In addition to being a former professional basketball player, Rodman has appeared in professional wrestling. He was a member of the nWo and fought alongside Hulk Hogan in the main event of two Bash at the Beach pay-per-views. In professional wrestling, Rodman was the first-ever winner of the Celebrity Championship Wrestling tournament. He had his own TV show, The Rodman World Tour, and had starring roles in the action films Double Team (1997) and Simon Sez (1999). He appeared in several reality TV series and was the winner of the $222,000 main prize of the 2004 edition of Celebrity Mole.
