Has four brothers: Gerald, Kevin, David and Richard.
Has one sister: Siobhan
Co-lead vocal, with Annabella Lwin, in Bow Wow Wow for a short while under the stage name of “Lieutenant Lush”.

QUOTES:
I’m bisexual… when I want sex, I buy it.
When it comes to DJing, I’m more of a shit stirrer than a mixer.
I know Victoria’s Secret – He’s a man!
I am what I am. There’s nothing I can do about it.
I don’t get all this Speedo stuff actually, I mean, whatever happened to the feather boa?
I tend to deal with depression by being angry which is probably not a good thing. What really makes me depressed? I guess sometimes there’s a revelation that you’re on your own no matter how many people you know – that’s quite depressing.
[on ending his feud with George Michael] We have exchanged emails and things are pretty good between us. We’ve spoken a couple of times and he’s doing OK.

Happy Birthday writer Diablo Cody
Born: June 14, 1978 in Chicago, Illinois, USA
Married to: Daniel Maurio (2009 – present) (2 children)
QUOTES:
Stripping toughened my hide, but exposing myself as a writer has been a lot more brutal.
I have never been an ambitious person, and my participation in this industry is a fluke, but only male writers can afford to be coy and self-deprecating.
I’ve been told that I’m incompetent, socially retarded, maladjusted. I still know that I couldn’t function in reality. Los Angeles is a good place for me.
If this whole writing thing doesn’t work out, I’ll be getting right back on the pole.
[on screenplay-writing for actresses] The attitude toward women in this industry is nauseating. There are all sorts of porcine executives who are uncomfortable with a woman doing anything subversive. They want the movie about the beautiful girl who trips and falls, the adorable klutz.
When you’re in a competitive environment, always give out the impression that you don’t care. It makes people want you more. If you act desperate, it’s over. I think a passive attitude is helpful.
The best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are.
Having your film made is the award. That alone is the miracle.
To enjoy being famous, you need to have a screw loose.

Gave birth to her second son, Julien Portman, in 2012. The child’s father is her husband Jarel Portman.
After reestablishing their years old friendship in 2004, Traylor got married for the third time to Jarel Portman in 2011, becoming Traylor Howard-Portman.

Ivana Trump (9 April 1977 – 22 March 1992) (divorced) (3 children)
QUOTES:
[on people seeing Jimmy Carter vacating Air Force One carrying a garment bag] They don’t want that. They want someone who’s going to beat China, beat Japan.
When was the last time that you saw this country have a victory? We don’t have victories. What things am I going to do differently? Almost everything.
[on John McCain] He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured OK, I hate to tell you.
Nobody builds better walls than me.
We have places in London and other places that are so radicalized that the police are afraid for their own lives.
Paris is no longer the safe city it was. They have sections in Paris that are radicalized, where the police refuse to go there. They’re petrified. The police refuse to go in there.
[on Marco Rubio, 2015] Weak on illegal immigration, like, weak like a baby. Not a good poker player, because every time he’s under pressure he just starts to profusely sweat.
I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters.
[responding to Papal criticism] If ISIL ever attack the Vatican the Pope’ll be hoping and praying I’m the President.
I can be more presidential than anyone.
Part of the beauty of me is that I’m very rich.
