| Colleen Ann Fitzpatrick (born July 20, 1969 in Old Bridge, New Jersey) is an American pop music artist, dancer and actress, better known by her stage name, Vitamin C. Her hits include "Smile", "As Long As You're Loving Me", "Graduation (Friends Forever)" (which reached #38 on the Billboard Hot 100), "The Itch" and "Vacation" (from the Pokémon Pikachu's Vacation soundtrack). "Graduation (Friends Forever)" has reached tremendous success in all kinds of graduation parties/events, notably high schools, and it still a popular song for that occassion. Before going solo, Fitzpatrick was the lead singer of punk pop band Eve's Plum. She is currently recording her third album. Colleen had made her first foray into acting in John Waters' 1988 feature film Hairspray as the bratgirl Amber von Tussle, and later appeared in Dracula 2000 (2000), as Lucy Westerman, and Rock Star (2001). She made a brief comedic cameo as herself (in voiceover) in the film Scary Movie 2. She was also a judge in the American Idol spoof television show The WB's Superstar USA. Also in 2002, she appeared in a celebrity game show called Celebrity Bootcamp alongside ex gangster-rapper Coolio, but was kicked out in the first episode along with Nikki Ziering. She made short cameos on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, The Brothers Garcia, The Amanda Show and The Sausage Factory. In 2006, an indie TV sitcom show starring Colleen called THE LEK was released to the internet through YouTube, though to date that has been the only episode released. A MySpace account called vitamincmusic features an unreleased track called Smash it up. It is not known if the song is a preview from a forthcoming album. |
