Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon is a Jersey boy born-and-raised. Jon Bon Jovi is from Perth Amboy, NJ and even though its central Jerz, it still counts. The world of comedy may not be the same without Paul Rudd, Zach Braff and Jason Biggs who are also from the dirty, and we all know that American Pie is the shit, and it wouldn't be the same without Jim.
Some other notable New Jerseyans: Chelsea Handler, Ali Larter, Queen Latifah, Tara Reid, Meryl Streep, John Travolta, Anne Hathaway (not born, but raised a Jersey girl), Brooke Shields (endured her high school years in Jerz), Bruce Willis, Derek Jeter (lol Yankees fans) and, did I mention, that Thomas Edison set up shop in NJ to discover cool things like the phonograph, motion picture cameras and the lightbulb? Because, yeah, that happened.

She creates gorgeous African-inspired dresses and photographs them in the suffering streets of the country. Honestly, I could not be more proud that she was born in my home state and is doing beautiful things in an equally beautiful place that has an unfortunate history of civil war and child soldiers.
