What is there to say about Britney Spears that hasn’t been said before? She has been named The Princess of Pop (Maddona, the Queen of Pop successor), and her name has been associated with more scandals than we can remember. Together with all the great hits she released and dazzling performances on stages all over the world, Spears began her career as a cheerleader.
Like many other celebs and many other women who grew up not to be celebs, Spears spend her high school days cheering and paving her first steps towards a promising and outrageous career. She is for sure one of the greatest names n this list.
Shannon Elizabeth
No 90s kid, or anyone for that matter, will ever forget that scene in “American Pie” with Jim and Nadia. This was the role that catapulted gorgeous actress Shannon Elizabeth to fame, making her a teenage icon and symbol of the early 2000s. But this Texan has loved being in the spotlight from a young age, as she was a cheerleader while attending Waco High School in the early 90s.
Despite the fact she’s mostly known as an actress, Elizabeth is also an amazing tennis player, a dedicated animal rights activist, and a killer poker player! So much talent in one beautiful woman.
Jennifer Hawkins
Jennifer Hawkins is known for being a former Miss Universe (2004), an A-list Australian model, a TV personality, and a brand ambassador for Myer department stores and Range Rover. Hawkins is also famous for hosting “Australia’s Next Top Model.” In 2013 Hawkins married her then-partner Jake Wall, and in 2019, they welcomed their first child into the world and in 2021, she had her second baby.
But before all the glitz and glamour, Hawkins was a cheerleader for the Newcastle Knights rugby team and the famous Hunter Pirates basketball team. Not to mention her squad when she attended West Wallsend High School.
Katie Holmes
Katie Holmes is best known for her role as Joey Potter in the TV show Dawson's Creek, her astonishing performance in "Disturbing Behaviour" and "Phone Booth" and how can we forget her marriage to Hollywood star Tom Cruise. At first, their marriage was a true fairy tail however it turned into one of the most talked about relationships in the industry.
When Katie was just six years old, she found herself cheering her older sister on the basketball court. This was obviously not a professional high school or college cheering, however, she has pompoms in her hands and a great big smile on her face, as far as we are concerned, she has a place on honor on our list.
Jessica Alba
Ever since she can remember, Jessica Alba wanted to be a superstar. She trained to become a professional gymnast for almost 15 years, however, life had different plans for her. She moved to Los Angeles hoping to kickstart her acting career, however, when that failed to succeed, she became a cheerleader for NFL’s LA Raiders.
She has been adorning our screens for years, and she is considered a respectable businesswoman, actress, and model. She is known for her roles in "Barely Lethal," "Meet Bill," and "The Killer Inside Me." These days she focuses less on acting and more on business, and in 2012she launched The Honest Company, which specializes in chemical-free baby products
