maria sharapova biography

Maria Sharapova Tennis player
Blonde, leggy, and beautiful. If those are the only adjectives you use to describe Maria Sharapova, then you’re selling the tennis world’s newest star short. While she may compare favorably to Anna Kournikova on the modeling runway, Maria is most dazzling when she steps on the tennis court. Her serve is overpowering, her ground strokes are penetrating, and her will to win is punishing. Maria officially arrived with her 2004 Wimbledon title—and she’s not likely to leave anytime soon. This is her story…
Maria Sharapova personal details:

Date of Birth
19 April 1987, Nyagan, USSR [now Russia]

Birth Name
Maria Yuryevna Sharapova

Nickname
Masha
The Siberian Siren

Height
6' 2" (1.88 m)

Mini Biography
Maria started hitting tennis balls at the age of four. At the age of six, Maria Sharapova participated in a exhibition in Moscow that featured Martina Navratilova. So, at the age of nine, she began training at Nick Bollettieri's Tennis Academy located in Bradenton, Florida, USA. Therefore, during those two years, she was separated from her mother for two year due to visa restrictions and finances. Maria occasionally travels with her father and works with tennis coach managers Michael Baroch and Robert Lansdorp. During her leisure time off court, Maria's interest includes modeling in fashion, singing, jazz dancing and movies (Pearl Harbor (2001)). Maria enjoys reading books of her interest in the "Sherlock Holmes" and "Pippi Longstocking" collection series. Basically, Maria's favorite dessert is 'anything'. Maria favors Russian music and food, but except for Italian bread.

Born in Siberia, Russia, and raised in the United States since age seven. Father Yuri brought her to the U.S. in 1994, but mother Yelena didn't join them until two years later due to visa problems.

She was (and still is) so ambidextrous that she almost became a left-handed tennis player.

She won the 2004 WTA Championships, defeating Serena Williams 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 in the final to pocket one million dollars and win a new Porsche Cayenne to donate to a charity of her choice.

Her loudest grunt was measured at 101.2 decibels (louder than a motorcycle or a lawnmower) on 21 June 2005 at Wimbledon Centre Court. Previously the loudest grunt was by Monica Seles at 93.2 decibels.

According to the LA Times and Orange County Register, Maria said at a press conference she has grown a few cm this year and is now 6' 2". She's been having back pains and has had to pull out of some tournaments due to the pain which she thinks is from a growth spurt.

Personal Quotes

"I wouldn't say I'm in love with them." (about her endless legs)

Of course, because another three Slam titles will bring a lot more than $25 million, they would be worth even more [than $100 million]. (On whether she would give up her millions for more slam titles)

Miley Cyrus: No More Hannah Montana Movies

Miley Cyrus wants to return to the big screen. Just not as Hannah Montana.

"I feel like this is a TV show. and we got really lucky with having the material to make one movie," she said Monday at a press conference for Hannah Montana: The Movie (out April 10). "To do another one, I feel like it takes away the reality of it all."

But she would love to keep her alter ego on television.

"We are continuing to do season three, and we all wish to do a season four, and I would love to do that if the time is right and if that's what everyone agrees on," she said. "I don't know if I would do another film, but I would love to do another season. I think that would be what we would all agree on."

This summer, she begins shooting a movie that Notebook author Nicholas Sparks wrote especially for her. Sparks has been simultaneously writing a novel (due this fall), from which the screenplay is adapted.

"You never really hear that the movie was written before the book," said Cyrus, 16. "It's kind of a weird way to do that. But he wrote the movie before he wrote the book, and he wrote it with me in mind."

Although the movie is under wraps, it deals with family and love issues.

"I've always been lucky to play parts that relate to me -- and this doesn't at all," Cyrus said of her upcoming role. "I have my issues, but not as bad as this chick! I am happy to play someone who is just kind of out there and not someone that I am like."

She said she also looks forward to seeing "if I'm a good actress or not, or if I'm just good at playing myself."

Asked what kids should do if they're torn between pursuing an acting dream or going to college, Cyrus joked, "I say 'do it.' Be a freak. Go to Hollywood."

Miley Cyrus dishes on 'Hannah Montana: The Movie' love interest, Lucas Till

Miley Cyrus is still hanging out with her older man/underwear model, Justin Gaston.

Lucas-till First, Lucas confesses to the Dish Rag that he was all nervous when he auditioned for the role but was relieved when Miley turned out to be just a normal girl.

Hah.

"I'm the coolest!" Cyrus shouts in her own defense at the film's press conference at the Four Seasons on Monday.

Then she freely spills the dirt on how they had to use CGI, hair and makeup to make Lucas look hotter than he really is and thank heavens for voice-overs for all his lines.

Kidding! Miley has NO filter! Isn't it ADORABLE?

But who was her good male friend who auditioned for the love-interest role who costarred with her when she had a small role in Tim Burton's "Big Fish?

The one she loves so muuuuch but she didn't want to kiss?

We're not naming names, but we think it's one of these dudes...

Whoever he is, he will forever be known as the guy MIley Cyrus didn't want to get all gooey with in "HMTM."

Madonna Trip To Malawi

All set to add to her brood of children, Madonna visited Chkhota Village, where she has bought land to build part of her school for girls, in Malawi on Sunday – but not without controversy.

During the visit, Madge was shown a map for the land she had purchased while she stood alongside her Chief Advisor of Pediatric Care for her Raising Malawi Charity, Dr. Eric Borgstein.

The singer, 50, was accompanied by her daughter Lourdes, 12, and sons Rocco, 8, and David, 3, whom she adopted from Malawi last year. And she and Lourdes visited Chinkhota Village, where Madonna has purchased a large tract of land to construct a girls' school there, which sources say is modeled on the Leadership Academy for Girls that Oprah Winfrey built in South Africa.

Although the village chief thanked the singer for her "generosity," some residents were less enthusiastic amid fears that they would lose their ancestral lands and crop fields.

"We are told to leave our gardens after this year's harvest; we are told our houses are to be pulled down – but nobody is talking about compensation," said Esinati Nkhoma, a local mother of four. "Where will we move to?"

A senior government official said issues of compensation for the land are being handled by Raising Malawi, the charity established by Madonna.

When a journalist asked Madonna whether she was worried about the land concerns, she shouted back, "No!" Later, Madonna and Lourdes were heard asking villagers "Muli bwanji?," which translates to "How are you?" in Malawi's native tongue, Chichewa.

Coming up tomorrow,on a Monday morning, Madonna has a scheduled appearance before a High Court judge that could allow her to have Mercy that very same morning.

“Madonna will appear before a judge ... to petition the court to certify her adoption,” a source close to the situation told Us magazine. “Madonna will definitely be granted a temporary court order to allow her to take the child away with her.”

But courts records show she plans to adopt 3-year-old Mercy James, whose single teenage mother died at age 18.

Interview with Ilena

She didn't play opposite top stars of Tollywood like Chiranjeevi, BalaKrishna, Nagarjuna and Venkatesh. Tamil Star's waited for her dates but she was unavailable. Yet her fan following all over the South is immense. Even she has not done any memorable roles for yopu to remember, she's heartthrob of Telugu audience. She demands a huge price and Tollywood producers are ready to cough it up. She's non other than Ileana. This name is the stuff that figures in the wet dreams of the teens. She comes again to sizzle in the hot April and raise the temperatures in `Jalsa' with Pawan Kalyan. Our cover girl talks about her career- love life to Prasanna Pradeep who profiles her climb to the top.
She shot to fame with her very debut film 'Devadas', which was directed and produced by YVS Chowdary. And her very next film ‘Pokiri' made history at the box-office where she played opposite young crazy hero Mahesh Babu. The film collected more than Rs.40 crore all over. After that there were no looking back for the bare all babes and now the buzz has it that she touched the Rs. 1 crore marks for her latest film 'Bhaledongalu', which is produced by Bellamkonda Suresh and S. Sambasiva Rao and directed by K. Vijaya Bhasker.


Heard you are the highest paid heroine in Tollywood?
"I don't want to talk about my remuneration because that's the matter between my producers and me. Here only success counts. So, we have to take care about our success. If success is not with me, nobody wants me in their films".


What's the secret of your success?
"I don't have any secret to get this position. But I believe in God and his grace and my hard work that put me in this position. I believe that hard work will pay anytime. I too have many ideas and desires about my career. I'm a huge fan of Sreedevi and I want to play the innocent gal like her in 'Sadma'. I know that at present my fans don't want to watch me in that type of roles. But I hope the day will come for me to play such type of roles".
Her Tamil – Telugu film titled 'Kedi', opposite Ravi Krishna of 7G Brindavan Colony fame, bombed at the box-office. So, the Telugu version of that film 'Jadoo' hasn't seen the light in Andhra Pradesh.


Do you take flops in your stride?
“We know that every human being will have success and failure in life. I'm not an exception. I too saw good ratio of success and big duds. But people like me in glamour roles. For this I'm very thankful to Telugu audiences. They encouraged me a lot. I never dreamt about this position. But it's come to me because of Telugu films only. So, I never forget these people and this Tollywood. Success and failure are not in our hands. All depend on God's grace only. But we have to try our level best and remaining will be blessed by the God only."


Are you in love?
"Most of the love letters are from my fans. But I have not fallen in love yet. Who knows the future, may be I will fall in love. But I could say one thing I have some strong opinions about Mr Perfect. If any body has those qualities then only I will think about love. At present my first love is my career only".
She played a role in NTR's 'Rakhee', which's directed by Krishna Vamsi, where she sacrifices her love to Charmi.


What if you faced a similar situation in real life?
"No... I don' t want like to be in that situation because I'm very sensitive and possessive And I'm not ready to lose my love to another gal. I can't love a guy who has an affair with two gals."


Future projects?
"At present I'm eagerly awaiting the two releases of mine- one is 'Jalsa' with Pavan Kalyan and another one is 'Bhaledongalu', where I am paired opposite Tarun. These two films gave me a good feel and I hope these two will become huge hits and my fans will be enjoyed a lot"
