Gist:  Adrienne Eliza Bailon (born October 24, 1983) is an American actress, singer-songwriter, fashion designer, and television personality. She was a part of the former girl group 3LW and the lead singer of group, The Cheetah Girls, and is known for her roles in the Disney Channel Original Movie of the same name and latter sequels which brought the group to prominence. Adrienne who has signed a record deal with Def Jam Recordings is currently recording a debut album set for release in 2009 or 2010.

Life Facts:  Bailon was born to a Puerto-Rican mother and an Ecuadorian father on Lower Eastside Manhattan, New York. She has an older sister named Claudette. She attended the High School for Health Professions and Human Services in New York City. Bailon started to sing at age 5. In 1999, Bailon was singing in a church choir which caught the attention of popstar Ricky Martin. Martin asked for the best four singers, and Bailon was among those chosen.

Bailon was dating Rob Kardashian in 2007, and also appeared on the E! reality series Keeping Up With The Kardashians several times.

In November 2008, racy personal photographs of Bailon ended up circulating over the Internet, taken for Kardashian on a laptop computer which Bailon has said was stolen while she was coming off a flight at New York's JFK Airport. The pictures were at first reported to be held for ransom as part of an extortion plot for $1,000, and were later leaked out. At the time, Bailon and her authorized publicist stated publicly that they would seek damages from whoever stole the computer and leaked the photos.

Johnathon Jaxson, a gossip blogger who claimed to represent Bailon publicly (in his regular gossip segment on Atlanta CBS affiliate WGCL-TV's morning show on November 11) confessed that the entire leak was a hoax perpertrated by him and Bailon to give a bump to Bailon's career.
