Sophia Loren was born as Sofia Scicolone at the Clinica Regina Margherita in Rome, Italy, on September 20, 1934. Her father Riccardo was married to another woman and refused to marry her mother Romilda, despite the fact that she was the mother of his two children (Sophia and her younger sister Maria Scicolone). Growing up in the slums of Pozzuoli during the second World War without any support from her father, she experienced much sadness in her childhood. Her life took an unexpected turn for the best when, at age 14, she entered into a beauty contest where she placed as one of the finalists. It was there that Sophia caught the attention of film producer Carlo Ponti, some 22 years her senior, whom she eventually married.

Difference being Kate Moss is allowed that excuse being a model and all. Whereas Amy is there just because she's there.

She WASN'T a model when she started in "the business" - she just got lucky .....

What you posted about Kate and Sophia Loren is completely irrelevant. Sophia Loren has a "lucky break" at age 14 and carved an actual career out of it, a full on business practically. Amy Childs appears to have no such ambitions to turn her lucky break into anything. She's content just chatting randomly on little TV shows on ITV2. Which is her right, but it lacks any kind of talent, aspiration and motivation.

If Sophia Loren had just stuck by standing there and saying "Oh, you find me attractive? oh great" and didn't put any effort or work in to form some kind of job she wouldn't have got very far and would have vanished long ago.

Obviously time will tell with Amy as she is still very young but so far she's just a dim airhead. (Or a very good actress who knows being thick will get her some quick cash and a few headlines, as my mum suspects, lol). That's the dilemma, she's either a lowest common denominator, brain dead doofus or a super intelligent, money making empire.

Good one . You go and ignore the actual point in my post and just comment on the first sentence, obviously missed the point of what I was trying to say. Like I said how they came to be famous is not the issue. But there's a big difference between using the break to establish an actual vocation/career and just being happy "being famous" for nothing imparticular. No pride or dignity.

Since Amy only got her "break" last year, who is to say what she might do or become .....

With a Vogue photoshoot and a personal TV "slot" already on her CV and age on her side (she's 14 years younger than Tara), she's had a good start this year and, AFAIK, has considerable pride and dignity, while :

Tara Reid is back to being a drunken, coked-out mess again (allegedly)

I don’t even know where to start with the mess that is Tara Reid. I Googled her to see if I could find some interesting stories to put with these catastrophic photos, and honestly, this girl has been getting into trouble all over the place. Just a glance through the headlines: Tara Reid is out of control, Tara Reid parties with Ex-Fiancé, Tara Reid can’t even walk to her car after a night of partying, Tara Reid is pissed on a yacht, dances with Buzz Aldrin, What Happened to Rehab, Tara Reid? Etc.

So basically, Tara is back to being a drunken wreck. Old-School Taradise! It’s kind of sad because she did seem to be trying to get her act together there for a little while - she posed for Playboy last year and she sounded relatively sober and like she’d learned from her previous party-hardy mistakes. Guess she fell off the wagon! Meanwhile, I’m just trying to figure out if she’s back together with her former fiancé Michael Axtmann. That’s him in some of the photos. Eh.

Oh, and Tara wasn’t wearing any panties? I guess that’s what this photo (link NSFW) proves, although I’m not sure what I’m really looking at. Whatever it is, it seems gnarly!

Tara Reid apparently had her ass handed to her in Atlanta over the weekend after she tried to steal a shopping cart so she could push her dog to a Mexican restaurant. You seriously can’t make this **** up. Via Page Six:

The disheveled-looking actress stopped two strangers in a Walgreens parking lot over the weekend, a source said, to ask where the “nearest Mexican restaurant was. She was wearing torn jeans and a pink hoodie, despite the 90-degree heat. She was pushing a shopping cart with her dog in it.” While Reid’s parking-lot pals gave her directions, a Walgreens manager emerged and ordered Reid to return her cart. “She whined, ‘I’m just borrowing it,’ ” our amused spy said. But Atlanta, it seems, isn’t Hollywood. “Ma’am, please, we don’t have that many,” said the clerk, whom Reid argued with before ditching the cart, grabbing the dog, and storming off.

Of course, what’s truly amazing about this story – I’ve assumed Tara Reid’s been stealing shopping carts for years. – is the fact that she’s in Atlanta to film the new American Pie movie. Someone, somewhere actually went, “Hey, let’s pay Tara Reid to act,” instead of lighting a pile of cash on fire in the middle of a conference room and still coming out ahead. How does something like that even happen?
