London



London Star, (born 14 April 4th, 1982) is a British singer/television star that rose to fame in late 2005 with her pop group "Venom". She is best known for her ditzy persona which she has parlayed into successful careers in music, tv, and fashion.

In 2007, London became the star of the hit ITV1 reality show "There's Something About London", where 9 of Urapopstar's hottest bachelors compete for a chance to win London's heart. She also released her first solo single in February.

Venom
London first rose to fame alongside Lola and Lianna in popgroup "Venom". The group were the only band at the time who were managed by 3 different PR's who all managed each girl individually. The group were known for their unique individuality, Lola was the drug addict/bitch who always seemed to be PMSing while Lianna was a hoodrat from the Bronx and London was a kindergarten dropout who often times lacked a brain. The girls were never really friends when they signed on to be a part of Venom, Lola and London had gone to school together but hung with different crowds while Lianna flew out from NY. The girls' signed a trial deal with Vixenation Records in fall 2005 and by December they had released their first single, the Lola penned "Boy Will Be Boys". Although the single is not really remembered, it did fairly well debuting at #11 just outside the top 10. At this point, Vixenation had offered the girls a full record deal and told them to start working on the album.


 * Interesting fact: In December 2005, while hit reality show "there's something about ant" is going on, London publicly says she hopes russ makes her star in the next season. Although she is laughed and not taken seriously at the time, she would eventaully get her wish two years later.

In February 2006, Venom released the second single this time written by Lianna "Take A Seat". The single rocked the charts and debuted at #2 its first week and set the stages for the album "Mascara, Sex & Lies" which was released the week after. The album featured songs written by all three girls, most written by Lola and Lianna while London contributed a measley one track. The girls soon became constant fixtures in the tabloids and rumor mills when they started partying together and mingling with fellow stars. London immmediately became the breakout star with her clueless/ditzy, dumb persona which garnered alot more fans for the group. London had been dating newcomer Colin Philips since the start of the yera but broke up after three months when Colin started having sex with Tyler Wilson. London seemed to be the one getting most of the attention and according to rumors at the time, it caused a lot of cattiness between the girls as they thought London didn't deserve it seeing as she did f*ck all for the album.

In May, the girls returned with their third single, the controversial "A Place In Hell For Me And My Friends". The single was immediately bashed by many christian groups who later went on to boycott the single, asking radio not to play the song. While some radio stations agreed, some told them to EFF OFF and played it anyway. The video for the song lashed back at the church groups by featuring the girls raiding a church and sexing it up. In the video, the girls arrived to the church in nun clothes and then ripped it off and started ripping off clothing from the other nuns and church goers. The video was banned from MTV as well as mainstream TV in general but the video could still be seen on Venom's official website. Despite all the controversy surrounding the single, it still managed to debut at #3 on the single charts and even added further steam to their album. During this time, rumors speculated that London was dating Uraps Idol contestant AJ Hutton (who was not anti-feminine at the time). The relationship fizzled over the summer. Also noted, London hires Russ Hooch as manager and secretly starts working on an album.

In June, Venom had planned to release their next and most likely last single, this time finally a London penned track - "Toxic Love". London signed on to appear in Uraps Big Brother as promotion for the single but the single was delayed and London appeared in the house only for a day. In October, the single finally saw its release. After the successes of the last two singles, Venom were hoping to make it three in a row. The single debuted at a decent #7 and was the third top 10 hit for the group. The video was directed by London which later became the most successful video for Venom on TRL. As well as the single, Venom released their first fragrance also titled "Toxic Love". With the group working nonstop for the entire year the girls decided to take a breather.

The Disco
In late 2006, both Lianna and London announced the world they would be going solo but that Venom will still remain. The pair signed a record deal with Politik to do their solo careers. After putting the finishing touches on her debut album in December, London announced her album "The Disco" to be released in February with the first single "Spun! (On the Scene)" coming a week earlier. The single was a frothy, disco-studded jam while the general sound of the album was pure disco pop. Both the single and the album ended up debuting at the top of the charts, making London a stronger music force on her own rather than in the band. The album is produced by Russ Hooch who also writes for the album, while guests on the album include Jon Farley and Lianna.

There's Something About London
In fall 2006 just as Venom were beginning to slow down London signed on to star in the second season of the "There's Something About..." series where 9 of Urapopstar's hottest bachelors competed for a chance to win London's heart. The first episode scored over 3 million viewers in the UK, securing the show's ratings history. The second episode did even better when it was watched by 5 million viewers. Although not as big as Antony's season, the show has been doing amazing considering London isn't quite the star Antony is. The guys participating on the show are Aaron Wilson from Envy, Adam Robson from Overmile, Dillon Burns, Luke Ramada, Max Walker and Paulo Araujo. Contestants that were booted out were Paul (for refusing to spend the day with Russ), Dr. C who London claimed was "too nice" for her, Kayden because he "wasn't edgy enough" and Luke up and quit.

Uraps Big Brother
London was tipped to star in the 2006 Uraps Big Brother but when the specualtion grew more and more, she was reduced to a guest of the house and only spent a day. In that day, London decide to treat the housemates by cooking breakfast and lunch, making burnt toast and using weeds and plants from the garden as vegetables. She also made a large penis cake which Russ Hooch ate all by himself. According to Victoria Newton's BIZZARE article, she claimed that London, Jon Farley and Jack Stevens had one big threesome whilst in the house. Neither of the three have commented.

Bloody Mary
London was set to star alongside Josie Matthews and Kantar in the horror flick "Bloody Mary" which was to be released in summer 2006 however due to creative differences and a "hairy ass" Kantar and Josie Matthews had a falling out which got the film canned.

Madhouse
London also starred in the box office smash "Madhouse" which also starred Ben Parker and Josie Matthews. The movie was released against stiff competition in October 2006 against Justin Case's action flick "Hitman" and Robin&Nikki's disney flick "Working Girls". It debuted at #3 just behind Working Girls and Saw III grossing more than 20 million opening weekend. Here's a synopsis: Hank Arbon knows how to have a good time, so when he suggests a road trip to his friends, they all jump at the idea. Hank, however, is horrible with directions and while driving through a small town at night, he loses his way. Jessica, Hank's girlfriend, gets upset and tells Hank to stop at the next gas station they see. Before reaching a gas station, Hank's car dies, which forces the group to take foot. They stumble upon St. Christopher's Memorial Hospital which is quite rundown, but there's a light on in a window so they don't care. The moment Hank and his friend's step into the Memorial Hospital, he knows their car trouble is only the beginning of a night full of pure terror.
