Trivia:
Born May 15, 1969, in Pensacola, FL, professional football player Emmitt Smith entered the ranks of the NFL after attending the University of Florida in the late '80s; the Dallas Cowboys recruited Smith amid the first round of their 1990 draft. Under the aegis of coach Jimmy Johnson, Smith proceeded to rack up an awe-inspiring series of field triumphs including three Super Bowl Championships, eight Pro Bowl games, and the honor league MVP in 1993. Smith eventually switched teams from the Cowboys to the Arizona Cardinals during the 2003 and 2004 seasons. Smith transitioned rather fluidly from gridiron star to on-camera star when the producers of the reality series Dancing with the Stars tapped him to perform in the third season of that program (in 2006) opposite dance partner Cheryl Burke; the pair won the competition, making him the first sports star to garner the program's top prize.

Trivia:
One of the most successful rap MCs of the early 2000s, Tip Harris (born Clifford Harris in Atlanta in 1980, and occasionally credited by his musical pseudonym, T.I.), earned the moniker "the Jay-Z of the South" for his ability (like the said East Coast rapper) to meld toughness and smoothness with great dexterity. With such album releases as the 2003 Trap Muzik, the 2004 Urban Legend, and the 2006 King, T.I. not only seemed able to do no wrong in terms of numbers, but attained such popularity that he could soon be heard within a couple of hours on any major urban radio station.T.I. segued into film work in the mid-2000s with two parts: the lead in the gentle, slice-of-life ensemble drama ATL (2006) -- a picture about a young man and his friends growing up amid a difficult and confusing life in Atlanta -- and a small role in the Denzel Washington-headlined period crime drama American Gangster (2007), directed by Ridley Scott.
