'''Jennifer McCarthy''' (born [[November 1]], [[1972]]) is an [[United States|American]] [[model (person)|model]], [[comedian]], [[actor|actress]] and [[author]]. She first appeared in ''[[Playboy]]'' magazine in October 1993 and was named [[List of Playmates of the Year|Playmate of the Year]] in its June 1994 issue. She later began a career in television and film and has recently started writing books. She and fellow model and actress [[Pamela Anderson]] are generally considered the most recognizable Playboy Playmates.

'''Dwyane Tyrone Wade, Jr.''', also known as '''Flash''' or '''D-Wade,''' (born [[January 17]], [[1982]]), is an [[United States|American]] professional [[basketball]] player, currently playing for the [[Miami Heat]] in the [[National Basketball Association]].

==Early lifeBiography ==

=== Early life ===

Dwyane Wade was born on the [[Neighborhoods of Chicago|south side]] of [[Chicago, Illinois]] to Dwyane Sr. and Jolinda Wade. He attended Richards High School in [[Oak Lawn, Illinois|Oak Lawn]]. He cites his one of his older sisters, Tragil, as the individual most responsible for his childhood upbringing and for steering him in the proper direction. His parents divorced, and he lived with his father and stepmother in Robbins during his childhood.

She was cool. And it was good.

==College==

McCarthy was born in [[Chicago, Illinois]], to a middle-class [[Irish American]] [[Catholic]] family that lived in Southwest Chicago in the [[West Elsdon, Chicago|West Elsdon]] neighborhood. She is the second of four daughters; her sisters are named [[Joanne McCarthy|Joanne]], [[Amy McCarthy|Amy]] and Lynette. Her mother, Linda, was a housewife, and her father, Dan McCarthy, was a steel mill foreman.<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/specials/magazine4/articles/mccarthy.html</ref> She attended St. Turibius Grade School on Chicago's South Side. As a teenager, McCarthy attended [[Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School]] (whose school sweater she donned in the pages of ''Playboy'') and was cheerleader at both [[Brother Rice High School]] and [[St. Laurence High School]]s,<ref>Austin, Michael and Jennifer Wehunt, "Before They Were Famous," ''[[Chicago (magazine)|Chicago]]'', pg. 76, February 2007, Volume 56, number 2.</ref><!-- no citation for status as cheerleading captain--> although she has referred to herself as an "outcast" at her school.<ref>http://www.usaweekend.com/98_issues/980719/980719talk_mccarthy.html</ref> After McCarthy graduated from high school, she attended [[Southern Illinois University Carbondale]] to study nursing. She needed money to pay for college, so she decided to submit her picture to ''[[Playboy]]'' magazine to make money. She was accepted and became a model.

Wade played collegiately for [[Marquette University]] in [[Milwaukee, Wisconsin|Milwaukee]]. In Wade's first year at Marquette, he did not play because of academics. When Wade became eligible his sophomore year, 2001-2002, he led the Golden Eagles in scoring with 17.8 PPG, as well as averaging 6.6 rebounds per game and 3.4 assists per game, leading Marquette to a 26-7 record, the school's best record since the 1993-1994 season. The following year, Wade led Marquette in scoring again with 21.5 PPG, as he led Marquette to a 27-6 record and the school's first and only Conference USA championship, and powered the Golden Eagles to the [[Final Four]] in [[2003]], the school's first appearence in the Final Four since 1977. Perhaps his most memorable collegiate moment came in the 2003 Midwest Regional Final in the [[NCAA]] Tournament in [[Minneapolis, Minnesota|Minneapolis]]. Against heavily favored, top-ranked and top-seeded [[University of Kentucky|Kentucky]], Wade recorded a rare [[triple-double]], recording 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists, including 4 blocks and a steal on defense to lead Marquette over the Wildcats 83-69 and into the Final Four. Wade was only the fourth player in NCAA Men's Tournament history to record a triple-double, after [[Oscar Robertson]], [[Magic Johnson]], and [[Andre Miller]]. Marquette finished the season ranked #6 in the AP poll, the school's highest ranking since the 1977-1978 season.

=== Modeling and acting career ===

Wade's strong play in the tournament caused his [[NBA Draft|draft]] stock to increase significantly, and he subsequently elected to forgo his senior year at Marquette.

After getting accepted by ''Playboy'' in 1993, the magazine wanted her to pose for the October issue. McCarthy was paid $30,000 for the photo shoot. McCarthy became the Playmate of the Month and later the Playmate of the Year. With this, McCarthy gained attention and popularity. In [[1994]], McCarthy moved to [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]]. For a time, she hosted ''Hot Rocks'', a [[Playboy TV]] show featuring uncensored [[music video]]s.

In [[1995]], [[MTV]] chose McCarthy to be the host of a new dating show called ''[[Singled Out]]'', for which she left ''Hot Rocks''. Her job as a host was a success, and Playboy wanted her to model more. In [[1996]], McCarthy landed a small part in the comedy ''[[The Stupids]]''. In [[1997]] McCarthy launched two shows. The first one was an MTV sketch comedy show called ''The Jenny McCarthy Show'', which was popular enough that NBC signed her to do a sitcom later that year called ''Jenny'', generally considered a disappointment and was quickly canceled. Also in [[1997]], she appeared on one of two covers for the September issue of ''Playboy'', the other cover had [[Pamela Anderson]] on the cover. McCarthy also released an autobiography: ''Jen-X''. McCarthy once modeled for Candies, a shoe company. In one advertisement, McCarthy posed naked wearing only shoes and having her panties off while sitting on a toilet seat. This stirred a controversy.

==NBA==

In [[1998]], McCarthy starred in ''[[BASEketball]]''. In [[1999]], she starred in ''[[Diamonds (1999 film)|Diamonds]]'', a movie which was directed by her husband [[John Mallory Asher]]. The next year, she appeared in the popular horror movie ''[[Scream 3]]''. Since [[2001]], McCarthy has guest-starred in many shows as ''[[Stacked]]'', ''[[Charmed]]'', ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'', ''[[Fastlane (TV series)|Fastlane]]'' and ''[[Just Shoot Me!]]''.

Selected fifth overall in the [[2003 NBA Draft]], Wade quickly emerged as a star on a relatively young [[Miami Heat]] team after averaging better than 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists in his rookie season. He further distinguished himself with outstanding performances in the [[2004]] [[NBA]] Playoffs, particularly against the [[Indiana Pacers]] in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. In the end, however, Wade's successful rookie season was still somewhat overshadowed by the hype surrounding fellow rookie phenomenons [[LeBron James]] and [[Carmelo Anthony]]. He still was able to earn unanimous selection to the [[NBA]] 2004 All-Rookie team, and also finished 3rd in rookie of the year voting (behind James and Anthony). He also ranked in the top five among rookies in six major statistical categories, ranked second in field goal percentage, second in steals, third in scoring, third in efficiency rating (15.26), fourth in assists, fourth in minutes, seventh in blocks per game, 11th in rebounds per game, and 12th in free throw percentage.

In [[2003]], McCarthy appeared in ''[[Scary Movie 3]]'' along with model and actress [[Pamela Anderson]]. In [[2005]], McCarthy produced, wrote and starred in ''[[Dirty Love]]'' along with [[Carmen Electra]]. The same year, McCarthy hosted a new show on [[E!]] called ''Party at the Palms''. The reality show, which is filmed at [[The Palms]] Hotel in [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]], features hotel guests, party goers and celebrities acting outrageously with McCarthy. In March 2006, she was given [[2005 Golden Raspberry Awards|Razzie Awards]] for "Worst Actress," "Worst Screenplay," and "Worst Picture" for her work on ''Dirty Love'', which also netted her then-husband, [[John Mallory Asher|John Asher]], a Razzie for "Worst Director."

As a testimony to his success, Wade was chosen as a member of the [[Basketball at the 2004 Summer Olympics#Men's Team United States of America|2004 USA basketball team]] during the 2004 offseason. However, he had a limited role as most of the playing time was given to more experienced veterans. But with his defense, he was considered one of the few bright spots on a team that otherwise performed poorly by the standards of U.S. Olympics basketball, eventually finishing with the bronze medal. Wade averaged 7.3 points and 17.5 minutes in the eight games that the [[USA]] played in the [[Olympic Games|Olympics]]. He also earned himself a number two rating in registering steals against Olympic opponents, averaging slightly more than two per game.

=== Public persona ===

[[Shaquille O'Neal]] was traded from the [[Los Angeles Lakers]] to the Heat in the summer before Wade's second season. Wade's scoring average, assists, and rebounding totals increased considerably in his second season with the Heat, and he quickly emerged as a rising superstar in the league. He was elected to his first NBA All-Star Game in [[Denver, Colorado|Denver]] and came off the bench to score 14 points in leading the East to a 125-115 win. Compared to the previous year, the [[Miami Heat]] under Wade and O'Neal improved by 17 games, from a 42-40 record in the [[2003-04 NBA season|2003-2004 season]], to an Eastern Conference-best 59-23 record in [[2004-05 NBA season|2004-2005]].

Though McCarthy initially rose to fame because of her sexual image, a frequent source of her celebrity derives from [[toilet humor]], particularly the shock of seeing a beautiful woman urinate, vomit, pass gas, or pick her nose.

Another Candies ad, which did not cause as much controversy, found McCarthy passing gas in a crowded elevator. A sketch on her MTV show centered around her character, a well-coifed business woman, answering the question of "What did you have for lunch?" by forcing herself to vomit all over a table (which she then ate on-screen). The direct contrast of McCarthy's reputation as a sex symbol and this often grotesque humor is closely associated with her image. This image was taken to a new extreme in her film ''Dirty Love'', which featured McCarthy's character sitting in a massive pool of her own [[menstrual blood]].[http://www.hecklerspray.com/glory-at-the-razzies-for-tom-cruise-nicole-kidman/20062393.php]

In the first round of the [[2005 NBA Playoffs]] (a sweep of the [[New Jersey Nets]]), Wade became only the seventh player in league history to average at least 25 points, eight assists and six rebounds while making half his shots in a playoff series, averaging 26.3 points, 8.8 assists, and 6.0 rebounds at 50% field-goal shooting (the other players to accomplish this are all members of the [[Basketball Hall of Fame]]: [[Bob Cousy]], [[Oscar Robertson]], [[Wilt Chamberlain]], [[Larry Bird]], [[Magic Johnson]] and [[Michael Jordan]]). Amazingly, Wade accomplished this feat once again in the 2nd round playoffs sweep of the [[Washington Wizards]]. Despite the Game 7 loss to [[Detroit Pistons|Detroit]] in the Conference Finals, Wade scored 40 and 36 points Games 2 and 3 respectively. Wade has played in the Conference Finals with sinusitis, flu, knee strain,...

McCarthy has authored a series of three books about her experience with pregnancy and raising her son, Evan.

In the [[2005-06 NBA season|2005-2006 NBA season]], Wade was elected to his second [[NBA All-Star Game|All-Star Game]] in 2006, in which he made the game winning put-back of the [[Philadelphia 76ers]]' [[Allen Iverson]]'s missed shot. Wade finished the 2005-2006 regular season averaging 27.2 points, 6.7 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.95 steals per game.

McCarthy is also an occasional columnist for ''[[FHM]]'' magazine and is currently a spokesperson for [[Weight Watchers]].

=== Personal life ===

Against the [[Chicago Bulls]] in the first round of the 2006 NBA Playoffs, Wade shook off a few close scares, including a severely bruised hip in Game 5. Returning late in the half to the surprise of all, Wade resurrected his team by scoring 15 of his 28 points while suffering from intense pain, leading the Heat to the much-needed 3-2 series lead. After this, Wade successfully led his team to the [[2006 NBA Finals]], despite suffering from flu-like symptoms in game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the [[Detroit Pistons]]. He put up a double-double with 14 points and 10 assists in that game.

In [[1993]], McCarthy underwent [[breast augmentation]] to enhance her look as a model for ''[[Playboy]]''. Borrowing a page from fellow [[Playmate]] [[Pamela Anderson]]'s publicity playbook, McCarthy took them out in 1998.

McCarthy dated her manager Ray Manzella for a short time in 1998. After breaking up with Manzella, McCarthy began dating actor/director [[John Mallory Asher|John Asher]]. The couple got engaged in [[January]] [[1999]], and married that year on [[September 11]]. They have a son, Evan Joseph, born on [[May 18]], [[2002]]. In [[August]] [[2005]], McCarthy and Asher filed for [[divorce]].

In his first trip to the NBA Finals, in which the [[Miami Heat]] would face off with [[Dirk Nowitzki]]'s [[Dallas Mavericks]], Wade continued to display his brilliance. His performance in games three, four, and five, in which he scored 42, 36, and 43 points, respectively, brought the [[Miami Heat]] back from a 2-0 deficit to lead the series at 3 games to 2. Wade's Game 3 performance was especially memorable; Wade finished with 42 points (tying his career playoff high) and 13 rebounds (playoff career high). 15 of his 42 points came in the 4th quarter, in which the Heat erased a 13 point deficit, including a go-ahead jumper by NBA veteran [[Gary Payton]] that sealed the win. His Game 5 performance was even better, as he set the NBA finals record by scoring 21 of 25 free throws, including the game-winning shots in overtime where he demonstrated calm and mental toughness. He has, especially through-out games 3 and 5, demonstrated that he can be an extremely valuable [[clutch (sports)|"clutch"]] player. Wade and the Heat went on to win Game 6, taking the [[2006 NBA Finals|2006 Finals]] series 4-2, and he was presented with the Finals MVP trophy.

In a February [[2006]] interview with [[Howard Stern]], [[pornography|adult]] actress [[Jenna Jameson]] said she had two sexual encounters with McCarthy.<ref>http://www.marksfriggin.com/news06/1-30.htm#wed</ref> When McCarthy visited Stern's show in April 2006, she denied having sex with Jameson, but said she "made out" with her during the two encounters. McCarthy also took a [[polygraph|lie detector]] test and passed the questions regarding Jameson. During the appearance, McCarthy also admitted to having performed [[oral sex]] on women and that she cheated on her ex-husband with both men and women.<ref>http://marksfriggin.com/news06/4-24.htm#tue</ref> However, in a later appearance on ''[[Jimmy Kimmel Live]]'', she claimed they didn't cheat on each other because it was totally agreed upon.

Wade was recently named to the USA Men's Basketball National Team from 2006-2008. The team will compete in the 2006 World Championships in [[Japan]], and the 2008 Summer Olympics in [[Beijing]] (if necessary, the team will also compete at the Tournament of Americas Olympic Qualifiers in 2007).

In December [[2005]], McCarthy began dating actor [[Jim Carrey]]. They did not make their relationship public until June 2006.

==Player profile==

[[As of 2006]], Wade is considered as one of the league's most versatile and feared players. On offense, ''the Flash'' has established himself as one of the quickest and most unguardable players in the NBA, scoring 27.2 points in the 2005-06 regular season on an impressive .495 FG average and seemingly getting to the line at will, ranking at #1 for free-throw attempts per 48 minutes. Wade also has an eye for his teammates, as his 6.1 average career assists show. In addition, he also has impressive ball handling skills, proven when he won the 2006 PlayStation Skills Contest. After winning the [[NBA Finals MVP]] 2005-06, he is also widely recognised as one of the game's premier clutch players.

In May [[2007]], McCarthy announced that her son was diagnosed with autism and would be coming out with a book on the subject shortly. ''Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism'' is due out in September of 2007.

On his own half of the court, he is known as a decent defender: he was nominated to the 2004-05 All-Defensive 2nd Team and narrowly missed another call-up the next year. He is particularly known for his stealing abilities, as he is ranked #6 in steals per game in the 2005-06 season.

She lives in [[Sherman Oaks, California]], next to heiress [[Margo Wilson]]. Her cousin is [[Melissa McCarthy]] of the [[Gilmore Girls]].

Wade's main drawback seems to be his relatively high turnover rate. He was second-worst in this statistic, with 3.57 TOs per game in 2005-06, only "topped" by [[Gilbert Arenas]]. In addition, a lifetime .769 average on free throws is considered merely average for a guard.

== Appearances in ''Playboy'' special editions ==

However, Wade is widely considered to be an elite player, being a two-time All-Star and a Finals MVP. Along with his peers LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, Wade is frequently compared to NBA legend [[Michael Jordan]].

The success of the Heat's 2005 playoff run and Wade's impressive performances with [[Shaquille O' Neal]] hampered by injury led to an explosion of media attention and popularity for the budding superstar. Entrepreneur [[Sean Combs|Sean "Diddy" Combs]] signed him to a model contract to his [[Sean John]] clothing company, and Wade also appeared on the cover of [[EA Sports]]' [[NBA Live]] 2006 video game. In 2006, ''[[GQ]]'' magazine described him as "the best dressed player in the NBA." He is currently signed with the Heat through [[2006-07 NBA season|2006-07]]. In 2005, he became the second ever [[Miami Heat]] player to be chosen as one of [[People Magazine]]'s 50 most beautiful people. (The other was [[Alonzo Mourning]].) In what was perhaps the best example of Wade's rising popularity, he finished #1 in jersey sales for the 2005-2006 season. [http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2408871] Wade also endorses for [[Converse]], which has made shoes under his name.

== Pro-wrestling ==

With his sponsership with Converse, a commercial has been released stating fall down 7 times, get up 8. When people think about it this can't happen at all.

McCarthy made an appearance at the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|World Wrestling Federation's]] [[WrestleMania XI]] on [[April 2]], [[1995]] as a guest valet for [[Shawn Michaels]]. She left after the match with the victor, [[WWE Championship|WWF Heavyweight Champion]] [[Kevin Nash|Diesel]].

== Books ==

A strong advocate for literacy, Wade [http://www.nba.com/news/wade_060414.html encouraged children] to read his favorite novel, '''[[Pride and Prejudice]]''', as well as other literary classics. In his words, "It's one of my favorite books, which usually surprises people. I guess they wonder how a love story from Regency England could be relevant to a 21st century basketball player from the Southside of Chicago. Class struggle, overcoming stereotypes and humble beginnings, getting out of your own way and letting love take over: these are things I can relate to, definitely."
