Anne Vlatsyna (sp?)--the Russian supermodel/actress--is Orthodox I think.

The Kardashian sisters and their brother are Armenian Orthodox. They give 10% of their assets each year to the Armenian Church.
I would pay His Holiness the Catholicos all my money to lock them up in Etchmiadzin. A highly doubt that the Kardashians are members of the Armenian Orthodox Church, she occasionally tweets about her church visits to a "high-profile" celebrity Protestant church in LA. I did read somewhere that she attended an Armenian Orthodox memorial service on the memorial of the Armenian Genocide and that she considered having her wedding at an Armenian church in LA. Searching google for the link to those articles... |

Troy Polamalu is an active and particularly devout Eastern Orthodox Christian. He and his wife were married by Metropolitan Maximos, formerly of Pittsburgh, Holy Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Pittsburgh-GOAA. They are known for participating in retreats. His wife is on the FOCUS board, her name escapes me at the moment, but she wrote a message on the brochure FOCUS recently mailed out. In his first few weeks as the enthroned Metropolitan of Pittsburgh, a little over a year ago, Metropolitan Savas was Troy's guest in a loge during a Steelers' game.
Theodora Polamalu is her name. I got that from the FOCUS mail you referred to. |

Is Samuelsson Orthodox though? I was under the impression he was adopted and grew up with a Swedish Family.
Yes, he was adopted by a Swedish family after his mother passed away. But, his father was an Ethiopian Orthodox Priest so he was baptized Orthodox. I don't know his faith currently. |

I dunno if they still are (or ever were, but I assume they were at least baptized as children, but who knows):
Trish Stratus (wrestler, real name is Patricia Stratiagis), though she wasn't married in an Orthodox Church...
Maria Kanellis (wrestler)
Both women are Greeks, Trish is from Canada and Maria from America.

I recently became aware that the outrageously gorgeous Maria Menounos is an Orthodox Christian, active in church affairs, sings in the choir, assists with Sunday Church School, and with the GOYA (Greek Orthodox Youth of America).
