[Games] Dream Family/Congrats Game - signups
This is going to be a little different. I just came up with the idea and I wanted to see if anyone was interested. Basically, this is a normal congrats/dream family game, but it's celebrity style. You don't have to use actual celebrities! All this means is that the parents will be involved in some part of the entertainment industry, the kids will have uncommon (but not completely weird, I promise!) names, etc. Each round (except this one) will also have some scenario that happens to you and/or your family (e.g. you get a part in a movie or you beat up a photographer) that you will write about.So if you're interested, just complete the sign-ups below. I'll accept the first 25 players.

DW's occupation: movie actressLayne, a professional bull rider and Anastasia, an actress meet 5 years ago when she was invited to sing the U.S. National anthem at a rodeo. Anastasia, then 19, had just starred in her first movie, Time for Joy, and her publicist thought this would be a good chance for her. Layne, hardened by his numerous injuries in the rodeo ring, felt himself melt when he heard her sing.After the event was over, he asked her out. To her surprise, Anastasia found herself saying yes. They dated as best as their busy schedules would allow, for three years. They had a very simple, secret wedding, after which they took up residence in Layne's Texas ranch.

DH's and DW's occupations: DH - movie actor/actress; DW - musicianHi, I'm Neela, a soul singer from Boston. I just released my first album entitled "Soulovely" and I'm still stunned how it hit the scene! My parents are both musicians (my mum's a violoncellist, my dad was a jazz pianist - he died some years ago, I still miss him so much...), so I grew up with a lot of music around - I didn't have quite a chance to become something else but a singer! ;-)Two years ago I met Raphael, who's a friend of Matt, the drummer in my band, after one of my shows. He's a movie actor who had a major success last year with an independent film that surprisingly won the Cannes Film Festival. We fell in love immediately and married last year, shortly after I turned 21.Raphael started his career on stage, he attendet The Juilliard School and worked with different companies afterwards.

After a month or so we began dating :)What made you decide to pursue your profession?When I left high school, I wanted to be an actress more then anything. I went to acting school but I just didn't cut it. My teacher said I was a gorgeous girl and that maybe I'm model material. I went to a modelling agency and I turned out to be a complete natural! I love modelling and I'm glad that I ended up in this career path as opposed to acting.How successful have you been so far?I'd say that I have been brilliantly successful so far! The first year or so was shocking but when I got a job with Gucci, I was in the modelling world!

DW: Lenore Caroline (model)Atticus Legend was voted as one of the top 10 sexiest men in Hollywood. He was tall, dark, and handsome with blues eyes that sparkled like champaigne. I fist met Atticus at an AIDS charity event in Miami. Of course I knew he was one of the most hottest bachlors in Hollywood alive, but I didn't give myself credit enough that he would be even interested in skinny model who was at least two inches taller than him (men have serious issues with that). I was wrong. He noticed me that night, but it wasnt until the next day that we bumped into eachother at the beach and he came forward. We talked and realized we had a lot in common. But besides simitarities we had a great day that day and enjoyed eachothers company. The rest grew from there.I am a sucessful model. I've been around the world and get a lot of jobs and major promotions. I've been lucky. I'm a good height but they prefer my "exoctic" looks - bright green eyes and long raven black hair.

DW: Lea Brooke Kinsfell - heir/heiressJack is an American singer with an amazing baritone voice who's style of music is classical crossover. He has dark hair and blue eyes, and has a hard core group of fans who are wild over him but honor his privacy. He got his start fairly early in life and has had several successes so far. He's done some charity concerts and at the last one he met heiress Lea Kinsfell who's father is a big time movie producer and millionaire. Lea is an only child who's trying to keep as low a profile as possible, but that's a bit hard when you have your own make-up and clothing lines. Because of her father's social status she hasn't had many true friends, but when she met Jack they instantly kicked it off and found a lot of common interests and the same quirky sense of humor. Their relationship has developed from friends to something a little bit more serious and Jack is considering asking Lea to marry him.

DH's and DW's occupations: Musician, and Movie ActressNatalia Haven was an actress ever since she got out of high school. She'd always been the impulsive type; so June 12th, 1998, made an escape from her little Colorado town and flew to California. She was discovered two years later, when she got her first real movie deal. It was a small part, but a strong one for Natalia. She managed to make her way up the charts until she became a high-class celebrity. Since 2002 she's had large, recognizable movie roles, many fans, and sometimes overwhelming fame. Natalia met Morgan while making one of her films, Liars In Captivity in 2004. Morgan was a musician, debuting an album called Sasha, after his desceased sister. One of the songs off of his album was used in the film. The song captivated (no pun intended) Natalia and she decided to meet Morgan. They hit off right away. Morgan appreciated Natalia's love for life, freedom, and hope, and Natalia was amazed by his intelligence and sense of calm.Natalia and Morgan officially became a couple in November, ten months after Liars in Captivity came out. The public, of course, had rumored this for a while, and when word finally got out, they were all over magazine covers. Natalia flourished in the new publicity and found it helped her career, but Morgan, on the reserved side, was caught a little off guard, thus why for many months breakup rumors were spread.

DW: June Adeline Hart "Jae," 25, musicianJune Adeline Hart was kind of a big deal."A Sarah McLachlan for the next generation!" one review raved, despite the fact that Sarah McLachlan was still very much alive and active in the musician community. Others echoed its sentiments, which always rankled Jae; she didn't want to be seen as some kind of replacement vehicle. She had her own drive and vision and wanted to be recognized as such.There was something to be said for the association, of course, that she and Ms. McLachlan shared. The other woman had invited a then-mostly-unknown Jae Hart to perform on her revitalized Lilith Fair Tour, and the publicity had skyrocketed her career. Her big-label debut, Sunrise on a December Morning, had been selling well, and its first single, "Turning it Back," was getting airplay on top-40 radio stations nation-wide. It had also, somehow, gotten her the attentions of Drew Fleming, heir to the Fleming Soap fortune. He'd apparently loved her album so much that he'd made an effort to acquire a backstage pass to a concert on her tour. Jae had meant to sign him an autograph and get him out of there as quickly as possible...but something had clicked, and two hours of chatting passed without either of them noticing.Afterwards, he'd offered another conversation after another concert, and she'd agreed. That was a year ago. It hadn't exactly been a normal courtship--with her schedule, dinner and a movie and a romantic walk afterwards wasn't always possible--but they were both very happy with the situation as it was and the possibilities to come. The tabloids, where Drew had a reputation for being a bit of a mama's boy who didn't take many risks, referred to them as JaeDrew and constantly insinuated that Ms. Hart was a gold-digger. The two blithely ignored allegations from StarNews Magazine and the rest, and when Drew quietly asked Jae the big question, she answered with a smile and a nod...on the back porch of her childhood home, without a camera in sight.They married six months later (with many cameras in sight) and have just been settling into a not-exactly-conventional married life.Array

DH: Jason Blake (television actor)
DW: Noelia Paige "Lia" (heiress)Jason and I grew up together. We went to boarding school together (my parents were rich world travelers and his mother was an actress). Jason's father was killed in an accident when he was three, and his mother wasn't sure what to do, so she sent him off to boarding school. I still remember the first time we met. I'd already been at the school for two years when Jason came. We were in fourth grade at the time. Jason's mom dropped him off, then left. He looked really lost and about to cry. I sort of knew where I was supposed to be, so I went up and asked Jason if he needed any help. He said "Yes" and I showed him over to the boys dorm. After that, we were inseperable until 9th grade. In ninth grade, we kind of separated and began dating. Neither of us really felt comfortable with boyfriend/girlfriend relationships, so we started hanging out together again. By the time we graduated, we had plans to be married. Two months before the wedding, my parents were killed in a cruise boat accident. We called the wedding off while I took care of the funerals and various properties my parents held. My dad was a real estate tycoon and left all his money to me, his only child. So, being an heiress, I suddenly had tons of money. Jason didn't know if I'd still want to marry him, since he was a broke college graduate (his mom had money, but he hadn't earned any); however, I still wanted to marry him. Jason had been an amazing actor ever since I'd known him, but he had planned on being an athletic trainer or a personal trainer. Well, I asked if he'd like to try his hand at professional acting. He said yes, so we flew to LA and Jason auditioned for a small-screen movie. He got the part and did excellent. Four months later he was handed a supporting role in a television series about a doctors office in Miami. We were married a week later, and moved to Miami to film the series. Being an heiress, I don't really have to work, but I need something to do besides sit around and do photo shoots. So, I decided to take up some hobbies. I bought some Quarter Horses and am starting to breed them. I also decided to start a garden, do some home maitenance projects, and help out with paperwork for a local charity organization.
