One of my favourite male celebrities would have to be Allan Pineda, or better known as apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas. One of the main reasons I envy him so much is because of where he came from and where he made it to despite all the hard work. Born to a Filipino mother and African-American father in a small town called Angeles, Pampanga, Apl grew up with very little money and struggled most of his childhood just to find food to eat and a shelter over his head. Allan never met his father, and at the age of fourteen, his mother and stepfather allowed him, with his consent, to be adopted into an American family with hopes of having a more promising life ahead. Apl is now huge, and known world wide. He is part of one of the biggest hip-hop bands available and the last worry he has is finding enough money to survive. He came so far but never ever forgets where he came from and what made him who he is, which he sings about in many of their songs. The main one being The Apl Song.
One of my favourite female celebrities would be Alecia Moore, or better known to us as P!nk. I love her, everything about her. She doesn't care what people think of her and that, in my opinion, is the main reason why so many people are so attracted to her. So many people claim "I don't care what people think of me, if they don't like me for who I am then they're not worth my time anyway". But I have never seen someone live up to that as much as she does, whether it be with her unique style or different beats. There is just something about her that draws in people from all over the globe. Even her name is enough to catch your eye. If you heard of someone who refers to herself as "Pink", most would think of her to be all flowery and girly, basically "pink". No one expects her to be the rocker chick with the tom boy style and screaming beats that she is.
