Pippa Middleton Modelling past

Pippa Middleton, the younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, tried her hand at modelling while studying at Edinburgh University, according to the Edinburgh Evening News. Pippa Middleton took part in university fashion shows similar to those where Kate first attracted the eye of Prince William.
Pippa took part in the school's charity fashion show at the City nightclub in 2004, at the age of 20. She was among a number of students to model clothes by Vivienne Westwood and Jean-paul Gaultier. The show was hosted by the Channel Four newsreader Jon Snow and the comedian Miles Jupp. One university pal was quoted as saying, "As soon as Pippa arrived at Edinburgh, she was assiduous about joining the right social circle. She was very charming about it, but quite ruthless in cultivating the right friends". Pippa's sister Kate attracted national attention in 2002 after wearing a see-through dress to a university fashion show. The black and turquoise creation, made by fashion graduate Charlotte Todd, sold for 78,000 pounds at an auction in central London in March 2011.

Pippa Middleton, who is currently dating the city banker Alex Loudon, was spotted meeting up with Prince Harry at The Troubador pub in London's Chelsea last month. Pippa and Harry have remained good friends since the Royal Wedding in 29th April 2011.

Ferris Bueller Stars Now and Then

Ferris Bueller Stars Now and Then

Ferris Bueller's doe-eyed beau was played by Mia Sara. "Bueller" was only Sara's second movie after starring opposite Tom Cruise in "Legend." Since then, she's appeared in a number of TV movies and miniseries, crossing over occasionally into feature films, such as the 1994 Jean-Claude Van Damme sci-fi thriller "Timecop." Most recently, she can be seen as Princess Landwidere in "The Witches of Oz.

 The boyishly handsome Matthew Broderick was already an A-lister by the time "Ferris Bueller" came out, having already starred in "WarGames" and "Ladyhawke." Since then, he's had starred in the Oscar-winning Civil War drama "Glory; did the voice for adult Simba in "The Lion King; and gave a memorably creepy turn as a hapless teacher in "Election." Currently, Broderick is shooting the upcoming action comedy "Tower Heist," opposite Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller. Of course, he's also well known these days for being married to Ms. Carrie Bradshaw herself, Sarah Jessica Parker.

 Alan Ruck was actually 29 when he played Ferris's 17-year-old hypochondriac best friend, Cameron Frye. Since then, he's done a lot of work on television, including a leading role in the series "Spin City" opposite Michael J. Fox. He's also done a lot of stage work, including the part of Leo Bloom in the Broadway version of "The Producers" -- a role first made famous by his "Bueller co-star Matthew Broderick.

 Jennifer Grey's memorable turn as Ferris's seething jealous older sister, Jeanie, nabbed her the starring role as Baby in "Dirty Dancing." Her star seemed like it was on the rise until she underwent one of the most infamous rhinoplasties in Hollywood. Overnight, her signature schnozz went from distinctive to cute but forgettable. Close friends didn't even recognize her post-nose job. Since then, she's worked on TV and even starred as herself in the failed L.A.-based sitcom "It's Like, You Know..." Most recently, she's been in the headlines after winning the 11th season of "Dancing With the Stars."

 Charlie Sheen played a drug-addled truant who chats up Jeanie in "Ferris Bueller." Critics called his quietly unhinged performance as being one of the best in the movie. Since then, he went on to star in "Wall Street" and "Major League," but he recently has been getting much more press with his unhinged performance as a drug-addled truant television star who engaged in a very public battle with the creators of "Two and a Half Men."
