Men can’t resist her and women want to be her. Could things get any better for Cuban-American singer Christina Milan? Probably not. Milian was born in Jersey City, New Jersey on September 26, 1981, but grew up in Maryland.

he inspired her to take a stab at recording music. Lo and behold, a few years later, after a great deal of hard work and determination, Christina appeared in Ja Rule's #1 single "Between Me and You." In addition to co-writing Jennifer Lopez's "
Play" and P.Y.T.'s "Same Ol Same Ol,” she recorded her self-titled R&B/pop debut album in 2001 and she wowed audiences far and wide as the opening act on *N Sync's stadium tour. Though the album fared far better in the U.K., the single "
AM to PM" reached the Top 30 of the Hot 100 chart in the United States, helped along by a massively popular music video. 2004's It's About Time, anchored by the Top Ten hit "Dip It Low," was much more successful. Milian's third album, So Amazin', produced almost entirely by Cool & Dre, was released in 2006.
All told, Milian has released three studio albums and one compilation album. She has also had four solo top five singles (and also a top ten featuring credit single) in the UK as well as hits in the rest of
Europe and North America. While maintaining a fast track career, Milian has also managed to become embroiled in a controversial personal life, awash with rumors about infidelity and bisexuality. But none of this has had an effect on her prodigious professional output. She has already confirmed an all-star lineup of producers for her next disc, including J. R. Rotem, Nate Hills, The Matrix,
Missy Elliott,
Lil Jon, and Cool & Dre. According to one popular men’s lifestyle Web site:” She is the type of girl who redefines cute, while at the same time is capable of coming out looking sexier than Pamela Anderson in a whipped cream bikini.” Yes, things are looking up if you’re Christina Milian.
