Who is Willa Ford?

Willa Ford was born January 22nd, 1981 in Ruskin, Florida. She is a pop singer who calls herself The Bad Girl of Pop although there are other singers with more notoriety and greater record sales who probably deserve that moniker, like Britney Spears or Pink. Ford reached her first taste of real fan recognition on the highly watched show for celebrities not quite at the pinnacle of their fame, Dancing with the Stars of 2006. Nonetheless, she has released a record album called Willa Was Here in 2001 for which she did a lot of her own songwriting and she wrote a second album that was not released in its entirety. Her singles are I Wanna Be Bad, Did Ya Understand That, Santa Baby (Gimme, Gimme, Gimme) and a Toast to Men. Fords Dancing with the Stars appearances were memorable enough to audiences for the fact that it was rumored she and her dancing partner were having an affair. The gossip helped her get into Playboy magazine, and since Anna Nicole Smith passed away around the same time, Willa Fords audition for the role in the t.v. movie about Smiths life was taken more seriously and she got the role. Ford and long time on-again off-again beau, hockey player Mike Modano, married at a private ranch with 75 guests in Dallas, Texas in 2007.
