the lead role in the musical Annie before moving to Los
Angeles at 13 to pursue an acting career; Her father
didn't move with the rest her family and divorced her
mother soon after.
Acting career: Milian's first significant role
was as a reporter on the Disney Channel's Movie Surfers
show in 1998 billed as Tina Flores. While in this role,
she also appeared in minor roles in the movies A Bug's
Life and American Pie and in guest appearances on the
television series Charmed, Smart Guy, Clueless, Get
Real, The Amanda Show, and The Steve Harvey Show.
In 2002, Milian was appointed to host of the television
show Wannabes on MTV. She met director Joseph Kahn on an
episode of Wannabes who suggested she audition for a
lead role in the film Torque opposite Ice Cube. Her
audition was successful, which lead to a lead role in

in the films Man of the House opposite Tommy Lee Jones
and Be Cool with John Travolta and Uma Thurman. She also
appeared in the horror film Pulse, released in August of

In 2006, Milian appeared in the music video for Jessica
Simpson's single "A Public Affair," alongside
Christina Applegate, Eva Longoria, Maria Menounos, Ryan
Seacrest and Andy Dick. It is also said that she will
shoot three movies in 2007. It has been reported that
Milian will star in The CW's new show "Eight Days a
Week" as Olivia.
Recording career, 2000—2002: Music beginnings:
In 2000, Milian made her first official musical
appearance on Ja Rule's sophomore studio album Rule
3:36, performing guest vocals on his song "Between
Me and You". Released as the album's lead single in
2001, the track managed to peak at #11 on the Billboard
Hot 100 and in the top 30 of the UK singles chart,
building Milian's reputation as a singer. In the
meantime Milian co-wrote and provided extensive backing
vocals for the track "Play" for Jennifer
Lopez's 2001 album J. Lo which became another success.
Milian would later pass down the song to Lopez because
of already having a club song with "AM to PM"
as promotion. She also went on to co-write "Same
Ol' Same Ol", the first single from girl group
PYT's debut album Down With Me.
In 2001, Milian eventually released her first solo
single, "AM To PM", off her self-titled debut
album. The song became a worldwide hit reaching the top
5 in the UK and Denmark, top 10 in the Netherlands, and
top 40 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and in Australia.
The success of "AM To PM" sparked the
international release of the Christina Milian album
which she co-wrote and produced, although not in the
United States. The second single "When You Look At
Me" was another international hit reaching the top
5 in the UK, Netherlands, and Ireland and making the top
40 in Denmark, Germany, Australia, and France. Although
a music video for the album's third single "Get
Away" (another collaboration with Ja Rule) was
filmed in Paris, the single wasn't released officially.
Afterwards Milian also was featured on the track
"It's All Gravy", a duet with British Rapper
Romeo of the garage group So Solid Crew. While the song
was another UK top ten hit single in 2002, Milian
provided the theme song for the Disney series Kim
Possible, "Call Me Beep Me" later that year.
2003—2005: New image and popularity: In 2003,
Milian started recording songs with Rodney
"Darkchild" Jerkins, Bloodshy & Avant and
Cory Rooney for her first U.S. release, It's About Time
(whose title is a direct reference to how long it had
taken for one of her albums to be released
domestically). The album was released to positive
reviews on July 13, 2004, but failed to receive immense
commercial success when it debuted at #21 in the UK and
#14 on the Billboard 200 album chart, selling over
36,000 copies in the first week only. While It's about
Time ended up with lackluster sales of 385,000 copies in
the United States, it gained prominence when it received
a Grammy nomination for "Best Contemporary R&B
Album" in 2005.
The album's first single, "Dip It Low"
(written by singer Teedra Moses and Black Eyed Peas
producer Poli Paul) however, became Milian's biggest hit
to date, when it peaked at #1 on a world composite dance
chart (compiled on data from the U.S., UK, Germany,
Japan, Italy, and Australia), simultaneously reaching #2
in the UK, #5 in the U.S., #7 in New Zealand and the top
20 in Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, Norway and the
Netherlands. The single was also certified Gold by the
RIAA for digital sales. The album's second and final
single, "Whatever U Want" (featuring Joe
Budden) failed to reprise the success of the lead
single, but again reached the top 10 in the UK as well
as charting on the Billboard Hot 100.
2006—present: Career development: Christina
Milian's third studio album So Amazin' was released on
May 16, 2006. While Milian worked with Cool & Dre on
the majority of the production of the album, the project
was finished with additional help from Rich Harrison and
executive producers Jay-Z and LA Reid. The record's
first single "Say I" featured rapper Young
Jeezy and was released in March 2006 as a single and
video. The song made it to number 1 on iTunes UK Music
Store and was number 1 on AOL music, but altogether saw
moderate success only with peak positions on #21 in the
United States, #4 in the UK and #45 in Australia.
While So Amazin' failed to reach the top 10 when it
debuted at #11 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, the
album saw minor international success only, peaking at
#67 in the UK inter alia. With "Gonna Tell
Everybody" a second single from the album was
chosen, but Island Def Jam neither agreed to film a
music video nor booked promotional appearances for
Milian to promote the song. In June 2006, instead,
Milian's representative confirmed that she had left the
Island Def Jam record label due to "creative
differences" - though disappointing album sales
were believed to be a factor, since the album sold less
than 500,000 worldwide (over 100,000 in United States).
On November 22, Milian released her first compilation
album, titled The Best of Christina Milian. The album
was released under the Universal International label.
Milian stated on her MySpace blog, that she will start
to record her new album at the beginning of 2007. Milian
confirmed that Jonathan Rotem, Nate (Danja) Hills, The
Matrix, The Runners, Lil Jon, Cool & Dre, Ryan
Tedder are the producers and Rick Ross and Frankie J are
guest-stars so far. She has also stated on her MySpace
blog that the album will have the same pop/urban fusion
of So Amazin'.
Alongside other big name artists of today, like Ciara
and Chris Brown, she sang a cover of Sister Sledge's We
Are Family for relief for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The CD and DVD, which contains interviews from all the
singers, was released on February 5, 2007.
Writing career: On December 8, 2006, E! News
reported that Milian has started to write books. She is
currently writing two books, both targeted for teenage
girls. She has stated that she wants to show her female
fans the healthy way on how to be happy. There has been
no release date set for either book as of yet.
Personal life: Various media outlets in NY
reported that Milian was dating Eric West. Both deny
they were dating, and Milian posted on her myspace that
she "[has] no idea who Eric West is" despite
having co-hosted an event for Elton John's AIDS
foundation in August 2005, and being photographed with
West at the last New York Fashion Week, according to an
AOL article Milian said sorry to West about lying.
After being together for nearly two and a half years, in
the summer of 2005, Milian broke up with actor Nick
Cannon. In an interview with Angie Martinez, she spoke
about how she found out about Cannon cheating on her.
According to Milian, while she was away filming Pulse in
Romania, she attempted to log in to his T-Mobile account
by entering in random passwords. After lucking out with
one of the passwords, she was able to read all of the
messages he sent out and received to and from other
women. When she returned to the states, she decided to
play it cool before hitting him with the news that she
knew he was cheating.
Like her releationship with West, Milian also denied
dating producer Dre, who she worked with when recording
her album So Amazin'. In June 2006 Dre confirmed that he
and Milian were dating.
In March 2007, singer Joss Stone stated in a magazine
that she does not like Milian and "then launched
into a profanity-laced tirade against the pop star.”
This was supposedly because Stone's ex-boyfriend is also
Milian's ex-boyfriend. Stone then continued insulting
Milian and began to insult Milian's mother, Carmen.
After being reminded that she's on record Stone stated
that she's "just honest." Milian's rep said
that the two had never met and that Milian had no idea
what this was about.
Philanthropy: On August 6, 2005 Christina
co-hosted The Reign at the Gerald W. Lynch Theatre in
New York City with actor/singer Eric West, the event was
designed by a group of inner-city children in 2003 to
raise funding and awareness for HIV/AIDS prevention
education for men, women and children living with HIV
and AIDS, as well as working with the Fresh Air Fund to
continue to help other inner-city children and family's.
Both Milian and West were awarded Outstanding
Achievement Awards for their humanitarian efforts.
Milian has also recently sold personal items on eBay,
fueling rumours that she is broke after being dropped by
her label.
